EMERSON THOMAS E.; MCELRATH DALE L. & FORTIER ANDREW C. EDITORS
Late Woodland Societies: Tradition And Transformation Across The Midcontinent
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2008. Softcover. Brand new book. Archaeologists across the Midwest have pooled their data and perspectives to produce this indispensable volume on the Native cultures of the Late Woodland period approximately A.D. 300-1000. Sandwiched between the well-known Hopewellian and Mississippian eras of monumental mound construction the Late Woodland period has received insufficient attention from archaeologists who have frequently characterized it as consisting of relatively drab artifact assemblages. The close connections between this period and subsequent Mississippian and Fort Ancient societies however make it especially valuable for cross-cultural researchers. Understanding the cultural processes at work during the Late Woodland period will yield important clues about the long-term forces that stimulate and enhance social inequality. Late Woodland Societies is notable for its comprehensive geographic coverage; exhaustive presentation and discussion of sites artifacts and prehistoric cultural practices; and critical summaries of interpretive perspectives and trends in scholarship. The vast amount of information and theory brought together examined and synthesized by the contributors produces a detailed coherent and systematic picture of Late Woodland lifestyles across the Midwest. The Late Woodland can now be seen as a dynamic time in its own right and instrumental to the emergence of complex late prehistoric cultures across the Midwest and Southeast. Thomas E. Emerson is director of the Illinois Transportation Archaeological Research Program and an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois. He is the author or editor of several works including Cahokia: Domination and Ideology in the Mississippian World. Dale L. McElrath is statewide survey coordinator and Andrew C. Fortier is special projects coordinator for the Illinois Transportation Archaeological Research Program at the University of Illinois. "A long-needed and most welcome comprehensive compilation"�Annals of Iowa University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2008 paperback

ALLEN SUSAN HEUCK
Finding The Walls Of Troy: Frank Calvert And Heinrich Schliemann At Hisarlik
University of California Press Berkeley: 1999. Softcover. Very good condition. The relentlessly self-promoting amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann took full credit for discovering Homer's Troy over one hundred years ago and since then generations have thrilled to the tale of his ambitions and achievements. But Schliemann gained this status as an archaeological hero partly by deliberately eclipsing the man who had launched his career. Now at long last Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight in this fascinating archaeological adventure that restores the British expatriate Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of Hisarlik the site now thought to be Troy as described in the Iliad. Frank Calvert had lived in the Troad--in the northwest corner of Asia Minor--excavating there for fifteen years before Schliemann arrived and learning the local topography well. Includes Index.

BRUHNS KAREN OLSEN
Ancient South America
Cambridge University Press Cambridge: 1999. Softcover. Very good condition. To outsiders ancient South America is synonymous with the Incas. Originally a small unremarkable group the Incas under their leader Pachacuti conquered most of their known world within a single lifetime. But before the Incas there were some ten millennia of prehistory centuries in which great civilizations rose flourished and inevitably fell. Chauvin with its fanged gods and hallucinogenic drugs; Huari a massive militaristic state; the Mantenowho held the most valued substance of the Andes in their power; the Quimbayawho developed the most beautiful gold work the world has ever seen - all were part of the unique history of the continent. Ancient South America provides an incisive view of this exotic continent and its remarkable past. The origins of agriculture ceramics and metallurgy are covered clearly and non-dogmatically as are developments in the tropical regions of the continent. The contributions of these cultures to modern civilizations are enormous yet still little appreciated. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0521277612. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 1999 paperback

PHILLIPSON DAVID W
African Archaeology
Cambridge University Press Cambridge:. Softcover. Brand new book. Research in Africa is now accepted as an integral part of global archaeological studies. As well as providing archaeologists with the oldest material Africa is also widely recognised as the birthplace of modern man and his characteristic cultural patterns. Archaeological study of later periods provides unique and valuable evidence for the development of African culture and society while ongoing research in Africa provides insights relevant to the interpretation of the archaeological record in other parts of the world. In this fully revised and expanded edition of his seminal archaeological survey David Phillipson presents a lucid and fully illustrated account of African archaeology from prehistory and the origins of humanity to the age of European colonisation. The work spans the entire continent from the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope and demonstrates the relevance of archaeological research to the understanding of Africa today. Here is a oncise and authoritative introduction to the vast archaeological record of Africa. This new edition draws on cutting edge archaeological research in fields such as genetics. Also this new edition draws more comparisons with other parts of the world clearly demonstrating the relevance of Africa to world prehistory. The book's contents are as follows:1. Introduction; 2. The emergence of humankind in Africa; 3. The consolidation of basic human culture; 4. Regional diversification and specialisation; 5. The beginnings of permanent settlement; 6. Early farmers; 7. Iron-using peoples before 1000; 8. The second millennium AD in Sub-Saharan Africa; and a Bibliography. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0521832365. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: paperback
