Lost in Time
VHS, 60 min., 1984, Study guide available
Lost in Time traces the story of the southeast's earliest inhabitants from the crossing of the Bering Straits land bridge perhaps 40,000 years ago to the arrival of Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in A.D. 1541. It follows the development of prehistoric Indian cultures from the earliest Paleo hunter bands to the complex and sophisticated society of the Mississippian Indians. Techniques used for early man's survival are presented and demonstrated, archeologists working in the field are interviewed, and sites inhabited by Indians as long ago as 7000 B.C. are visited.
