In this volume, Douglas B. Bamforth offers an archaeological
overview of the Great Plains, the vast, open grassland bordered by
forests and mountain ranges situated in the heart of North America.
Synthesizing a century of scholarship and new archaeological
evidence, he focuses on changes in resource use, continental trade
connections, social formations, and warfare over a period of 15,000
years. Bamforth investigates how foragers harvested the grasslands
more intensively over time, ultimately turning to maize farming,
and examines the persistence of industrial mobile bison hunters in
much of the region as farmers lived in communities ranging from
hamlets to towns with thousands of occupants. He also explores how
social groups formed and changed, migrations of peoples in and out
of the Plains, and the conflicts that occurred over time and space.
Significantly, Bamforth's volume demonstrates how archaeology can
be used as the basis for telling long-term, problem-oriented human
history.
