Changing Perspectives on the Archaeology of the Central Mississippi Valley

University of Alabama Press

Fourteen experts examine the current state of Central Valley prehistoric research and provide an important touchstone for future archaeological study of the region

The Mississippi Valley region has long played a critical role in the development of American archaeology and continues to be widely known for the major research of the early 1950s. To bring the archaeological record up to date, fourteen Central Valley experts address diverse topics including the distribution of artifacts across the landscape, internal configurations of large fortified settlements, human-bone chemistry, and ceramic technology.

The authors demonstrate that much is to be learned from the rich and varied archaeological record of the region and that the methods and techniques used to study the record have changed dramatically over the past half century. Operating at the cutting edge of current research strategies, these archaeologists provide a fresh look at old problems in central Mississippi Valley research.




 

 

Archaeologists and others interested in the region will find important summaries of data relating to a series of mound centers and other localities that would, in and of themselves, justify the purchase of the volume. . . . A fine collection of papers of real and material value.'
