Kurt W. Carr is Senior Curator of Archaeology at The State Museum of Pennsylvania.
Roger W. Moeller has conducted archaeological research on Paleoindian through Contact period sites in Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
“Carr and Moeller have written a primer for the next generation of
archaeologists in Pennsylvania, an excellent summary of
Pennsylvania’s deep past for high school and college students and
for all readers.”—Paul A. Raber,Heberling Associates
“Finally, an accessible and profusely illustrated account of
Pennsylvania’s past that will be useful to students in high school
and introductory college courses as well as to the many modern
Pennsylvanians who are curious about the people who were here
before us. Carr and Moeller share their extensive knowledge while
punctuating the archaeological story with first-person vignettes
and the voices of other archaeologists describing their passion for
the field. I look forward to using this book as a resource in
working with the public and in my undergraduate teaching.”—Sarah
Neusius,Indiana University of Pennsylvania, author of Seeking Our
Past: An Introduction to North American Archaeology
“Going beyond typology, this book humanizes the people who lived in
Pennsylvania's past and the archaeologists who study them. It is
up-to-date and useful for college students.”—Renata B.
Wolynec,Edinboro University
“First Pennsylvanians is a comprehensive and enjoyable look at the
state’s prehistoric past, enhanced with narratives, graphics, and
images. Carr and Moeller have done an outstanding job of presenting
that past to all Pennsylvanians as well as a wider
audience.”—Gregory D. Lattanzi,New Jersey State Museum
“Kurt W. Carr and Roger W. Moeller have produced what will surely
be the definitive monograph on Pennsylvania’s archaeological past
for decades to come. This richly illustrated work is aimed at the
novice yet it could serve as a useful desk reference for
professionals, especially those without easy access to the state’s
archaeological grey literature. . . . First Pennsylvanians is a
magnum opus for those interested in Pennsylvania’s past.”—April
Beisaw H-Penn
“This copiously illustrated investigation of the history of Native
Americans in Pennsylvania is a significant addition to regional
archaeological surveys. . . . First Pennsylvanians will be an
important resource for high school students, undergrads, and
everyone with an interest in the archaeology of the
region.”—American Archaeology Magazine
