| Zusammenfassung: | "The Hiscock project, informally called the "Byron Dig," involved the 29-year scientific excavation and study of a site in western New York. The site proved to contain an astonishingly rich trove of fossils and artifacts dating from the late Ice Age to the time of European settlement. The tangible result of this project is a fully documented collection of over 100,000 specimens in the Buffalo Museum of Science. The proposed book is based on the published reports, as well as important new information and interpretations, of the initiator and principal investigator of the project, Richard Laub. The book will include his personal observations, experiences, and impressions, resulting in a complete and up-to-date account of the project's history, and its contributions to our knowledge of the changing fauna, flora, cultures, and environments of the Northeast. It will also consider the hundreds of people -- field volunteers, scientists, philanthropists, small-town residents, even a former United States Congressman -- brought together by the Dig in order to make it possible"-- |

Laub New York Columbia University Press [2023] ©2023 1 online resource (viii, 376 pages) illustrations, maps text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index Part I. Getting There -- Part II. The Heroic Age (1983-1990) -- Part III. New Terrain (1991-2001) -- Part IV. Exploding Pits (2002-2005) -- Part V. Winding Down (2006-2011) "The Hiscock project, informally called the "Byron Dig," involved the 29-year scientific excavation and study of a site in western New York. The site proved to contain an astonishingly rich trove of fossils and artifacts dating from the late Ice Age to the time of European settlement. The tangible result of this project is a fully documented collection of over 100,000 specimens in the Buffalo Museum of Science. The proposed book is based on the published reports, as well as important new information and interpretations, of the initiator and principal investigator of the project, Richard Laub. The book will include his personal observations, experiences, and impressions, resulting in a complete and up-to-date account of the project's history, and its contributions to our knowledge of the changing fauna, flora, cultures, and environments of the Northeast. It will also consider the hundreds of people -- field volunteers, scientists, philanthropists, small-town residents, even a former United States Congressman -- brought together by the Dig in order to make it possible"-- Provided by publisher Richard S. Laub served as curator of geology at the Buffalo Museum of Science from 1973 to 2011, during which time he did occasional teaching at the University of Buffalo. He initiated and directed the Hiscock Site project from 1983 to 2011. Print version record.
