One essay explores the effects of climate on early cultures in Mississippi. Contributors reveal the production and distribution of stone effigy beads, which were centered in southwest Mississippi some 5,000 years ago, and trace contact between different parts of the prehistoric Southeast as seen in the distribution of clay cooking balls. Researchers explore small, enigmatic sites in the hill country of northern Mississippi now marked by scatters of broken pottery and a large, seemingly isolated "platform" mound in Calhoun Country. Pieces describe a mound group in Chickasaw County built by early agriculturalists who subsequently abandoned the area and a similar prehistoric abandonment event in Winston and Choctaw Counties. A large pottery collection from the famous Anna Mounds site in Adams County, excavations at a Chickasaw Indian site in Lee Country, camps and works of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the pine hill country of southern Mississippi, and the history of logging in the Mississippi Delta all yield abundant, new understandings of the past. Overview papers include a retrospective on archaeology in the National Forest of north Mississippi, a new look at a number of mound sites in the lower Mississippi Delta, and a study of how communities of learning in field archaeology are built, with prominent archaeologist Samuel O. Brooks's achievements as a focal point. History buffs, artifact enthusiasts, students, and professionals all will find something of interest in this book, which opens new doors on the prehistory and history of Mississippi"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Southern States $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Archaeology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969645 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 700 1 $a Galloway, Patricia Kay, $e editor. 700 1 $a Peacock, Evan, $d 1961- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Exploring southeastern archaeology $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2015] $z 9781626746893 $w (DLC) 2015017232 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CBE5E8A55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
