Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Obsidian Cliff: Yellowstone National Park A view of the west face of the southern end of the cliff is given in pi. IX. The shining black columns rise from a talus slope which reaches some fifty feet up the cliff. These prisms are fifty or sixty feet high and vary in width from two to four feet near the end of the cliff, the width of each column being quite constant throughout its length. On the south face of this end of the cliff the columns are the same, but grow less clearly defined toward the east, where a sharp bend in the lava sheet has formed gaps in the rock and de stroyed the continuity of the mass; beyond this the columns incline considerably toward the west, as though the underlying surface of contact sloped toward the west also. Farther up the slope to the east they disappear. The columns in the main face of the cliff are tilted 10° to the eastward, and the planes of flow which cross them have an average dip of 10° east, indicating that the underlying sur face at this place slopes toward the east. Along the cliff to the north the columns become gradually broader, the largest being 20 feet in width. The prisms have no uniform number of sides, four, five, and six being those most frequently observed; the sides are unequally devel oped, but at a distance the general effect is quite regular. Toward the north, with the change in the nature of the rock, to be described later on, the broad columns grade into massive blocks formed by vertical cracks much farther apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1872, visitors have flocked to Yellowstone National Park to gaze in awe at its dramatic geysers, stunning mountains, and impressive wildlife. Yet more than a century of archaeological research shows that the wild landscape has a long history of human presence. In fact, Native American people have hunted bison and bighorn sheep, fished for cutthroat trout, and gathered bitterroot and camas bulbs here for at least 11,000 years, and twenty-six tribes claim cultural association with Yellowstone today. In Before Yellowstone, Douglas MacDonald tells the story of these early people as revealed by archaeological research into nearly 2,000 sites—many of which he helped survey and excavate. He describes and explains the significance of archaeological areas such as the easy-to-visit Obsidian Cliff, where hunters obtained volcanic rock to make tools and for trade, and Yellowstone Lake, a traditional place for gathering edible plants. MacDonald helps readers understand the archaeological methods used and the limits of archaeological knowledge. From Clovis points associated with mammoth hunting to stone circles marking the sites of tipi lodges, Before Yellowstone brings to life a fascinating story of human engagement with this stunning landscape.
