A prehistory of western North America : the impact of Uto-Aztecan languages /

This book offers a new approach to the use of linguistic data to reconstruct prehistory. The author shows how a well-studied language family-in this case Uto-Aztecan-can be used as an instrument for reconstructing prehistory.
