The emergence of village societies out of hunter-gatherer groups
profoundly transformed social relations in every part of the world
where such communities formed. Drawing on the latest archaeological
and historical evidence, this volume explores the development of
villages in eastern North America from the Late Archaic period to
the eighteenth century. Sites analyzed here include the Kolomoki
village in Georgia, Mississippian communities in Tennessee,
palisaded villages in the Appalachian Highlands of Virginia, and
Iroquoian settlements in New York and Ontario. Contributors use
rich data sets and contemporary social theory to describe what
these villages looked like, what their rules and cultural norms
were, what it meant to be a villager, what cosmological beliefs and
ritual systems were held at these sites, and how villages connected
with each other in regional networks. They focus on how power
dynamics played out at the local level and among interacting
communities. Highlighting the similarities and differences in the
histories of village formation in the region, these essays trace
the processes of negotiation, cooperation, and competition that
arose as part of village life and changed societies. This volume
shows how studying these village communities helps archaeologists
better understand the forces behind human cultural change. A volume
in the Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P. Bullen Series.
