This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast.

Hardcover. Condición: near fine. Three volumes in maroon cloth; 329 pages: map, facsimile; 25 cm; approx 300-400 pages per volumes; bibl. footnotes. A complete set of three volumes of Long's Expedition. Comprising Volumes XIV, XV & XVI of Thwaites' Early Western Travels. A cornerstone of Western Americana. "Stephen Harriman Long?s expedition of 1819?1820 was one of the most ambitious government surveys of the trans-Mississippi West in the early republic. Commissioned by Secretary of War John C. Calhoun and led by Major Long of the U.S. Topographical Engineers, it aimed to explore the Missouri and Platte River systems, assess natural resources, and evaluate routes for commerce and military posts. The scientific corps included Edwin James as botanist and geologist, Thomas Say as naturalist, Titian Peale as artist, and William Baldwin as surgeon, though Baldwin died early in the journey. Their route carried them from Pittsburgh down the Ohio and Mississippi, up the Missouri, and then west along the Platte into what is now Colorado, where they first described Long?s Peak. From there the party turned south and east through the Plains, eventually looping back through Arkansas. The expedition?s official record was prepared by Edwin James in 1823, a three-volume Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains. It offered rich detail in natural history, ethnography, and geology, and included the first recorded ascent of a Rocky Mountain peak. At the same time, it gave currency to the idea of the ?Great American Desert,? casting the High Plains as arid and unfit for agriculture?a judgment that influenced U.S. policy and delayed settlement. Long?s maps and James?s descriptions became important tools in shaping federal attitudes toward western lands and Native nations. The work was later reprinted in Reuben Gold Thwaites? monumental series Early Western Travels, 1748?1846, occupying volumes 14 through 16, and it remains a cornerstone of American exploration literature. A bright and crisp near fine+ to fine(-) set with minor wear to exterioe.
