Summary | "Archeological Investigations" by Gerard Fowke is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work is a detailed examination of physical remains and artifacts from various archaeological sites, primarily focusing on cave explorations in regions like the Ozarks and Hawaii. Fowke meticulously documents the geological contexts and findings within these sites to enrich our understanding of prehistoric human activities. The opening of the text introduces the geological characteristics of the Ozark region, which facilitate the formation of extensive caverns. Fowke describes how the dissolution of limestone creates these subterranean formations, making them suitable for habitation by early humans. He also highlights the potential for uncovering cultural artifacts left by these inhabitants while emphasizing the changes that have occurred within the caves over time. This introduction sets up a promise of thorough investigations into specific caves and archaeological sites, suggesting a systematic approach to exploring the material remains that offer insights into the lives of ancient peoples.
