Taking a holistic approach, this compilation gathers ecological, historical, and archaeological research written on the distinctive region of the Southeast called the Gulf coast blackland prairie. Ranging from the last glacial period to the present day, the case studies provide a broad picture of how the area has changed through time and been modified by humans, first with nomadic bands 606 $aPrairies$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aPaleoecology$zSouthern States 606 $aHuman ecology$zSouthern States 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xAntiquities 607 $aGulf Coast (U.S.)$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aPrairies$xHistory. 615 0$aPaleoecology 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aIndians of North America$xAntiquities. 676 $a304.2/0976 701 $aPeacock$b Evan$f1961-$01600908 701 $aSchauwecker$b Timothy$f1967-$01670975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819634803321 996 $aBlackland prairies of the Gulf coastal plain$94033187 997 $aUNINA
