Description

This timely volume offers a compilation of twenty-four articles covering a wide spectrum of topics in Iroquoian archaeology. Selected from leading publications, these essays collectively represent the current state of knowledge and research in the field. Its comprehensive research sources section with more than 500 entries will be a key resource for specialists and non-specialists alike. Both text and research sources 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.
