Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. SUMMARY REPORT OF MODOC ROCK SHELTER, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, Melvin L. Fowler, softcover, probable first edition, illustrated, 1959. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block and illustrations are in near fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog-ears. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The wraps are in good condition [discoloring around edges, a few tiny marks on the back]. 10 x 6 ½, 72 pages, 6 ounces XX [From the introduction] The Modoc Rock Shelter has contributed greatly to our understanding of the pre-history of the Eastern North America. It was the first site excavated east to the Great Plains with a demonstrable antiquity greater than 4000 B.C. and a range of time of over 6000 years. Since the publication of the report on the initial excavations at the Modoc Rock Shelter (Fowler, Winters and Parmalee, 1956) ; (Deuel 1957) , other sites of nearly equal antiquity and time range have been reported (e.g. Logan 1951, Ml 30-132 Crane 1956:666; Miller 1956, 1958). The net result has been a much different view of the cultures of this early time period than was previously held. XX THE CHANGING CONCEPT OF THE ARCHAIC. The above mentioned sites have been assigned to the Archaic Stage (Byers, 1959). In the original formulations the concept of the Archaic was purely descriptive. An effort was made to describe the tools and artifacts that were Archaic. It was reflective of this concern that Sears (1948) wrote the article entitled What is the Archaic? With the discovery of similar manifestations preceding agricultural and pottery-making societies in many areas of North America, the Archaic came to be thought of as a general time period. This concept gave rise to a consideration of the Archaic as a stage of development (not yet fully distinguished from a time period) (Ford and Willey 1941). The works of Willey and Phillips (1955 and 1958) demonstrate further changing emphasis concerning the Archaic. In their earlier formulation (1955: 740) the main criteria were that the Archaic stage is marked by the addition of grinding and polishing to the earlier techniques of percussion and pressure flaking. In their second work the point of emphasis changed and the authors (1958:107) briefly define the Archaic as the stage of migratory hunting and gathering cultures continuing into environmental conditions approximating those of the present. I have suggested defining the Archaic in terms of the subsistence base in which the utilization of local flora and fauna and a seasonal cycle are important. This trend or stage revolves around (1) the development of the forest-hunting technique, (2) the establishment of seasonal cycles of subsistence activities, and (3) the discovery of new sources of natural food. …

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. TREND AND TRADITION IN THE PREHISTORY OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES (Illinois State Museum Scientific Papers Vol. X and American Anthropological Association Memoir 88), Joseph R. Caldwell, softcover, illustrated, 1958. BOOK CONDITION: near fine. The text block and illustrations are in near fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog-ears. There is no bookplate, but the signature of a prior owner is written inside the front cover and on the final free endpaper. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The wraps are in very good condition [minor wear at top of spine]. 9 ½ x 6 ¼, 88 pages, 8 ounces XX [From the introduction] IN PREHISTORIC North America, as in other parts of the world, we find over a course of some millennia and in the traces of thousands of small societies an archeological record of pervasive change in the details of material culture. From this we can infer more basic transformations. Thus, it can be proposed that the prehistory of the Eastern Woodlands shows a general shift from a wandering to a semi-settled kind of life, probably another shift from band to clan, and, further, to something like kingship on the one hand and to confederations of towns on the other. Along with these changes there occurred a cumulative increase in the amenities and comforts of life. On the face of it, this might seem a normal picture of historical development for any region of fairly hospitable environment. A closer look, however, suggested to the writer that the development of human cultures in Eastern North America was in part qualitatively different from whatever may be common to the configurations of growth in the nuclear civilizations of Mesoamerica and in the Old World (Steward 1955; Adams 1956a). Aside from the fact that the East was more a recipient than a donor of cultural innovation, we shall assert that if eastern prehistory is viewed as a succession of culture stages it is only the earlier of these which parallel the supposed stadial sequences in the areas where civilizations arose. Later eastern developments may be of a kind not shared with the nuclear regions. Although we also suggest that the later East was strongly affected by diffusions from Mesoamerica, the accommodation of these exotic elements into a developmental configuration of a distinctive type meant that eastern prehistory was much more than a dim reflection of events which took place in Mesoamerica. In maintaining that the East shows a different development from the nuclear civilizations of Mesoamerica and the Old World, we must also deny the validity, so far as this region is concerned, of a current culture-historical scheme (Willey and Phillips 1955) which subsumes the prehistory of the two American continents into a succession of configurational stages which are specifically appropriate to Mesoamerica and possibly to Peru.…
