From the Foreword: "In searching for an understanding of prehistoric groups their settlements and their way of life we must not let data-gathering obscure understanding. Instead our work must be more problem-oriented. Each discipline must contribute directly to ecological synthesis and the archeologist must concentrate on deriving more meaningful results from his own data rather than attempt to integrate all categories of evidence. More explicitly I would hope for archeologists who can think as geographers who can derive more social and economic inference from their materials and who can interact with other scientists also interested in prehistroic man." Extensively revised and expanded. Shipping weight 3 lbs. 2nd ed 2nd ptg. . VG-/G. 24 X 16½ cm. Aldine Atherton Hardcover

Light grey cloth red titles 312 pp b & w photos index. The authors were both English professors rather than archaeologists so lively writing probably outweighs scientific rigor in this book. From the DJ: ".judging from artifacts recovered in and around the foot of the mounds the Pinson Tennessee mound builders had developed a very high order of stone-age culture a culture superior in many respects to that of the Indians. Their pottery is unusually well formed and decorated; the delicacy of recovered tools and a variety of intricate fishhooks indicate an advanced artisanship their many-stranded pearl necklaces show a careful craft and love of beauty."
