Late Prehistoric Florida: Archaeology at the Edge of the Mississippian World: Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P. Bullen (Hardcover)
Editat de Keith Ashley, Nancy Marie Whiteen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2012
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."

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The view often is clearer when one looks from the outside in rather than the reverse. Geographically situated on the edge of mainstream Mississippian cultural developments, Florida harbored an array of cultures whose study provides insights into the nature of the entire Southeast in the centuries before the European invasion. "Late Prehistoric Florida" is a seminal contribution to archaeology, one that allows us to see both the trees and forest. Jerald T. Milanich, author of "Florida Indians from Ancient Times to the Present"
Forces us to re-envision the Mississippian world with the Native polities of Florida as part of the broader cultural mosaic. It is not surprising that many of the areas represented in this book diverge from models and ideas developed in the core areas in significant ways. Victor D. Thompson, Ohio State University
For a long time, Florida s late prehistoric societies have been viewed and explored through a lens developed to understand their Mississippian neighbors to the north. This book makes a strong case that the societies of late prehistoric Florida must be explored on their own terms. Adam King, South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology
