But there is a deeper, unwritten past that predates the state's recorded history. The region we now know as North Carolina was settled more than 10,000 years ago, but because early inhabitants left no written record, their story must be painstakingly reconstructed from the fragmentary and fragile archaeological record they left behind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime before History\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive account of the archaeology of North Carolina.
