Mueller1st ed. 2013.New York Springer20131 online resource (73 p.)SpringerBriefs in plant science,2192-1229Description based upon print version of record.1-4614-5920-6 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- What is Hopewell?: The Lower Illinois Valley in a Regional Context -- Middle Woodland Subsistence and Settlement in the Lower Illinois Valley -- Plant Use at Mound House -- Comparative Analysis -- Conclusions: Mounds and Seed Exchange.At Middle Woodland sites in the eastern United States, excavations have uncovered naturalistic art worked on exotic materials from points as distant Wyoming, Ontario, and the Gulf Coast, revealing a network of ritual exchange referred to as the Hopewell phenomenon. Simultaneously, Middle Woodland societies developed the earliest agricultural system in eastern North American using now-extinct native cultivars. Mound Centers and Seed Security: A Comparative Analysis of Botanical Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley integrates an interpretation of these two historical trends. Unlike most journal articles on related subjects, the volume includes a lengthy review of literature on both Hopewell studies and Middle Woodland agriculture, making it a useful resource for researchers starting out in either field. Synthesizing both original research and research reported in archaeological “grey literature”, Mound Centers and Seed Security: A Comparative Analysis of Botanical Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley is a valuable tool for researchers and teachers alike.SpringerBriefs in Plant Science,2192-1229Hopewell cultureIllinoisWoodland cultureIllinoisIndians of North AmericaIllinoisMound House Site (Ill.)Hopewell cultureWoodland cultureIndians of North America338.10938Mueller Natalie G1059921MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437823703321Mound Centers and Seed Security2509576UNINA
