What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"This is the first volume in a decade to address the Woodland period in the Southeast. The research is fresh and reports new information and interpretations gleaned from a variety of sources—new excavations, geophysics, grey literature, older collections—and covers a range of studies from single sites to specific archaeological complexes to interactions among complexes. "—Lynne P. Sullivan, coeditor of Mississippian Mortuary Practices "This volume fills an important gap in Southeast archaeology, the Early and Middle Woodland periods. It contains the best that the current generation of archaeologists has to offer, set in the context of the broader landscape of regional archaeology."—Dean R. Snow, author of Archaeology of Native North America
