Life on the River

The Archaeology of an Ancient Native American Culture

By William R. Hildebrandt and Michael J. Darcangelo

An fascinating look at life for Wintu tribes along the Sacramento River

In this detailed account of an archaeological dig along the banks of the Upper Sacramento River in Northern California, we gain unforgettable glimpses into the village life of a Wintu tribe 175 years ago, including signs of their often contentious interactions with other groups and evidence of the epidemic that nearly destroyed the tribe in 1833.
