Book Description
An up-to-date text for Iroquoian archaeology and an essential reference for archaeologists and other researchers.

This timely volume offers a compilation of twenty-four articles covering a wide spectrum of topics in Iroquoian archaeology. Culled from leading publications, these essays collectively represent the current state of knowledge and research in the field. A comprehensive research bibliography with more than 500 entries will be a key resource for specialists and nonspecialists alike. Both text and bibliography are structured in five sections:

Origins;
Precolumbian Dynamics;
Postcolumbian Dynamics;
Material Culture Studies; and
Contemporary Iroquois Perspectives, Repatriation, and Collaborative Archaeology.

Along with seminal essays by major figures in regional archaeology, the book includes responses by Haudenosaunee writers to the political context of contemporary archaeological work.
