- Summary:
- Compared to surrounding regions, the Prescott area has historically been a fertile but neglected little plot for archaeological research. Neglected no longer, the Prescott region now stands on the cusp of a new era of archaeological studies brought on by a much-matured public commitment to proper preservation and management of the area's cultural resources. This collection of 21 papers, arranged by chronological periods, explores the rich archaeological heritage of the region.
