will embrace all of the authors’ interpretations (e.g., prestige hunting, the Numic Spread), most readers should appreciate the detail with which the data used to support such arguments are presented. The volume’s 87 tables are generally detailed and formatted such that researchers can draw upon them for their own studies. Already I have directed two graduate students – one with an interest in diachronic shifts in biface production and another in obsidian conveyance – to the volume in search of additional data with which to supplement their own samples. In both cases, the students were able to mine the monograph for relevant data with relative ease. I am happy to see the AMNH return some of its focus to recent research in the Great Basin. Prehistory of Nevada’s Northern Tier showcases the important role that research-oriented CRM work continues to play in the region. When that work is presented thoroughly and publicly, as it has been in this volume, everyone with an interest in Great Basin archaeology benefits.

沉船和石灰窑：中央海岸 19 世纪水手和采石工人的隐藏历史

将包含作者的所有解释（例如，声望狩猎、数字传播），大多数读者应该欣赏用于支持这些论点的数据所提供的细节。该卷的 87 个表格通常都很详细和格式化，以便研究人员可以利用它们进行自己的研究。我已经指导两名研究生——一个对双面生产的历时变化感兴趣，另一个对黑曜石运输感兴趣——寻找额外的数据来补充他们自己的样本。在这两种情况下，学生都能够相对轻松地从专着中挖掘相关数据。我很高兴看到 AMNH 将其部分重点重新投入到大盆地最近的研究中。内华达州北部地区的史前史展示了以研究为导向的 CRM 工作在该地区继续发挥的重要作用。当这项工作被彻底和公开地展示时，就像在本卷中一样，每个对大盆地考古感兴趣的人都会受益。
