Sommario/riassunto

A Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication  Lamar Archaeology provides a comprehensive and detailed review of our knowledge of the late prehistoric Indian societies in the Southern Appalachian area and its peripheries.  These Lamar societies were chiefdom-level groups who built most of the mounds in this large region and were ancestors of later tribes, including the Creeks and Cherokees.  This book begins with a history of the last 50 years of archaeological and historical research and brings together for the first time all the available data on this early culture
