The book Great Lakes Archaeology by Ronald J. Mason, first published in 1981, has become an influential reference on the subject of archaeology in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. It remains the only Great Lakes-wide archaeological synthesis. I thought you would be interested to know that the book has been brought back into print by The Blackburn Press with a new preface by the author and a selected review of post-1981 research and a list of recommended recent publications.

Richly illustrated with detailed photographs, Great Lakes Archaeology provides both academic and amateur archaeologists with a valuable resource.

“The book will both apprise the public of archaeology’s contributions to knowledge and serve as a fine introductory text at the college level. It is to be recommended for its contents and literacy; the profession should take a writing lesson from Ron Mason.”—Charles E. Cleland in American Anthropologist

The Blackburn Press is a relatively new publishing company, founded with the mission of keeping in print and available for purchase at reasonable prices book titles that larger publishers have lost interest in and have declared to be “out of print.” It specializes in scientific and technical books and textbooks that are classics in their field. We are interested in hearing of other titles we might consider returning to print. Your suggestions are welcome.
