The book is enhanced with numerous plans of the site as well as photographs of some of the finds, unfortunately in black and white and not in color. Noël Hume explains everything in clarity, whether talking about bones, pipes or pieces of pottery or glass. There are footnotes, index and a very nice bibliography. However this is not a dry and scholarly account, but a very readable and exciting story. ( )
