Two common questions asked in archaeological investigations are:
where did a particular culture come from, and which living cultures
is it related to? In this book, Robert A. Cook brings a
theoretically and methodologically holistic perspective to his
study on the origins and continuity of Native American villages in
the North American Midcontinent. He shows that to affiliate
archaeological remains with descendant communities fully we need to
unaffiliate some of our well-established archaeological constructs.
Cook demonstrates how and why Native American villages formed and
responded to events such as migration, environment and agricultural
developments. He focuses on the big picture of cultural relatedness
over broad regions and the amount of social detail that can be
gleaned from archaeological and biological data, as well as oral
histories.
