"A unique view of the New York beneath our feet. Archaeologists Cantwell and Wall scan 11,000 years of human occupation in the five boroughs, from Native American rock shelters in Washington Heights to colonial taverns, African burial grounds and midtown skyscrapers. This absorbing survey contributes a valuable new perspective on the nature of cities and the use of space." - Constance Rogers Roosevelt
