The Archaeology of Events
These perspectives are applied to a broad range of archeological contexts stretching across the Southeast and spanning more than 7,000 years of the region's pre-Columbian history. New data suggest that several of this region's most pivotal historical developments, such as the founding of Cahokia, the transformation of Moundville from urban center to vacated necropolis, and the construction of Poverty Point's Mound A, were not protracted incremental processes, but rather watershed moments that significantly altered the long-term trajectories of indigenous Southeastern societies. In addition to exceptional occurrences that impacted entire communities or peoples, Southeastern archaeologists are increasingly recognizing the historical importance of localized, everyday events, such as building a house, crafting a pot, or depositing shell.
Constructing Histories
This book provides a challenging interpretation of ancient hunter-gatherer societies along the St. Johns River in northeast Florida and reveals that these mounds were not just garbage dumps, but rather intentionally constructed sacred mounds of immense significance to their creators. The book presents a new theoretical framework for investigating shell mounds as places of history-making through daily living, ceremonies, and burial ritual.
Water from Stone
This book investigates the importance of natural springs to ancient Floridians, showing how springs have served as gathering places for people over thousands of years to the present day.
New Directions in the Search for the First Floridians
New Directions in the Search for the First Floridians grew out of the First Floridians conference held in October 2015 in Monticello, Florida, which focused on the state and future of Paleoindian studies in Florida but also reached temporally into the Early Archaic period and beyond Florida into the greater Southeast and as far west as Texas. This volume is organized into three sections: The past, present, and future of the archaeology of early Floridians, early Floridian studies in a broader context, and technological advances in the study of early Floridians.
History of the Town of Stonington, County of New London, Connecticut
Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, th...
New Histories of Pre-Columbian Florida
This volume aims to bring the archaeological study of Florida's Pre-Columbian past up to date, using new techniques, technologies and data to reveal that the Pre-Columbian natives were not isolated and environmentally segregated, as was previously thought.
