The study of ancient architecture reveals much about the social
constructs and culture of the planners, builders, and inhabitants
of the structures, but few studies bridge the gap between
architecture and archaeology. This comprehensive examination of
sites in the Ohio Valley, going as far north as Ontario, integrates
structural engineering and wood science technology into the toolkit
of archaeologists. Presenting the most current research on
structures from pre-European contact, Building the Past allows
archaeologists to expand their interpretations from simply
describing postmold patterns to more fully envisioning the complex
construction of critical locations like Hopewell, Moorehead Circle,
and Brown's Bottom. The record of perishable architecture at these
sites has proven difficult to interpret because it is often merely
organic residues, such as soil stains from decayed wall posts,
charred timbers, or trenched wall foundations. Addressing new
discoveries and presenting previously unpublished data, this volume
is an invaluable resource for archaeologists investigating the
diverse ways prehistoric societies manifested their social worlds
in earth, wood, and stone.
