Archaeologists across the Midwest have pooled their data and
perspectives to produce this indispensable volume on the Native
cultures of the Late Woodland period (approximately A.D. 300-1000).
Sandwiched between the well-known Hopewellian and Mississippian
eras of monumental mound construction, the Late Woodland period has
received insufficient attention from archaeologists, who have
frequently characterized it as consisting of relatively drab
artifact assemblages. The close connections between this period and
subsequent Mississippian and Fort Ancient societies, however, make
it especially valuable for cross-cultural researchers.
Understanding the cultural processes at work during the Late
Woodland period will yield important clues about the long-term
forces that stimulate and enhance social inequality.
"Late Woodland Societies" is notable for its comprehensive
geographic coverage; exhaustive presentation and discussion of
sites, artifacts, and prehistoric cultural practices; and critical
summaries of interpretive perspectives and trends in scholarship.
The vast amount of information and theory brought together,
examined, and synthesized by the contributors produces a detailed,
coherent, and systematic picture of Late Woodland lifestyles across
the Midwest. The Late Woodland can now be seen as a dynamic time in
its own right and instrumental to the emergence of complex late
prehistoric cultures across the Midwest and Southeast.
