Review
“What is particularly useful in this volume is the inclusion of tremendous amounts of data distilled into tabular and graphic forms. . . . They make this work not only a theoretical or model-building contribution but also a substantial data base permitting readers to acquire a formidable knowledge of the cultural history of this period from a single source. . . . Both theoreticians and cultural historians will be pleased by the contributions in this volume.”—Journal of Interdisciplinary History
“The papers take a strong ecological and adaptationist perspective, although there is an increased awareness of the ideological and symbolic components of the development. . . . The volume lays the groundwork for further studies of Emergent Mississippian focused on particular explanatory models.”—Man
“It will be required reading for those working on the later prehistory of the Southeast or just interested in the social process of the Mississippian time range.”—American Antiquity “The final chapter is a superb summary of (Mississippian exchange and prestige goods) that may prove to be the most cited chapter in this volume.”—American Anthropologist
