Prehistoric Florida societies, particularly those of the peninsula, have been largely ignored or given only minor consideration in overviews of the Mississippian southeast (A.D. 1000-1600). This groundbreaking volume lifts the veil of uniformity frequently draped over these regions in the literature, providing the first comprehensive examination of Mississippi-period archaeology in the state. Featuring contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in the field, this collection describes and synthesizes the latest data from excavations throughout Florida. In doing so, it reveals a diverse and vibrant collection of cleared-field maize farmers, part-time gardeners, hunter-gatherers, and coastal and riverine fisher/shellfish collectors who formed a distinctive part of the Mississippian southeast.

Описание: The Powers Phase Project, a multiyear archaeological program undertaken in southeastern Missouri by the University of Michigan in the late 1960s and early 1970s, represents a milestone in Americanist archaeology. This volume reinterprets a number of the earlier conclusions from the long-term excavations of the Turner and Snodgrass sites.
Описание: By focusing on how mortuary practices serve as symbols of beliefs and values for the living, this title explores how burial of the dead reflects and reinforces the cosmology of specific cultures, the status of living participants in the burial ceremony, ongoing kin relationships, and other aspects of social organization.
