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 is 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 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Excavations (Archaeology) -- Ohio River Valley HISTORY -- United States -- State & Local -- General.
