Hunters of Bear Valley

Description

Four teenage boys venture on their first hunt in Bear Valley. The hunts span 7000 years. Each hunting protagonist uses hunting technology tied to the archeological record: atlatl, primitive bow and arrow, rifle and modern recurve bow and arrow. Archaeology, the Hunting Spirit and ancient and modern hunting techniques are woven into a rich story centered on the quest for survival in a mountain valley. Petroglyphs, projectile points, and ancient tool technology link the epochs and protagonists to the past – and future. The book introduces the practices of hunter gatherer societies and their link to modern society through man’s historical and continual quest for food – and adventure.
