Regional identities and practices are often debated in American
archaeology, but Middle Atlantic prehistorians have largely
refrained from such discussions, focusing instead on creating
chronologies and studying socio-political evolution from the
perspective of sub-regions. What is Middle Atlantic prehistoric
archaeology? What are the questions and methods that identify our
practice in this region or connect research in our region to larger
anthropological themes? Middle Atlantic Prehistory: Foundations and
Practice provides a basic survey of Middle Atlantic prehistoric
archaeology and serves as an important reference for situating the
development of Middle Atlantic prehistoric archaeology within the
present context of culture area studies. This edited volume is a
regional, historic overview of important themes, topics, and
approaches in Middle Atlantic prehistory; covering major practical
and theoretical debates and controversies in the region and in the
discipline. Each chapter is holistic in its review of the
historical development of a particular theme, in evaluating its
contributions to current scholarship, and in proposing future
directions for productive scholarly work. Contributing authors
represent the full range of professional practice in archaeology
and include university professors, cultural resources
professionals, government regulatory/review archaeologists and
museums curators with many years of practical and theoretical
immersion in his/her chapter topic, and is highly regarded in the
discipline and in the region for their expertise. Middle Atlantic
Prehistory provides a much-needed synthesis and historical overview
for academic and cultural resource archaeologists and independent
scholars working in the Middle Atlantic region in particular.
