Synthesizing a century of scholarship and new archaeological evidence, he focuses on changes in resource use, continental trade connections, social formations, and warfare over a period of 15,000 years. Bamforth investigates how foragers harvested the grasslands more intensively over time, ultimately turning to maize farming, and examines the persistence of industrial mobile bison hunters in much of the region as farmers lived in communities ranging from hamlets to towns with thousands of occupants. He also explores how social groups formed and changed, migrations of peoples in and out of the Plains, and the conflicts that occurred over time and space. Significantly, Bamforth's volume demonstrates how archaeology can be used as the basis for telling long-term, problem-oriented human history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Great Plains $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Great Plains $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Great Plains. 830 0 $a Cambridge world archaeology. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203071117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0E8103A5B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
