Belonging to Places: The Evolution of Coastal Communities and Landscapes between Ten Mile River and Cottoneva Creek

By Thad Van Bueren

Westport, located on a wild stretch of the northern California coast, is the only surviving community in a region that once hosted several scattered villages and many outlying farms and homesteads. In this thoroughly researched book, archaeologist Thad Van Buren reveals how the waves of human inhabitants of this area have interacted with each other and their environment.
