Synopsis "Methods, Mounds, and Missions: New Contributions to Florida Archaeology"

Methods, Mounds, and Missions offers innovative ways of looking at existing data, as well as compelling new information, about Florida's past. Diverse in scale, topic, time, and region, the volume's contributions span the late Archaic through historic periods and cover much of the state's panhandle and peninsula, with forays into the larger Southeast and circum-Caribbean area.Subjects explored in this volume include coastal ring middens, chiefly power and social interaction in mound-building societies, pottery design and production, faunal evidence of mollusk harvesting, missions and missionaries, European iron celts or chisels, Hernando de Soto's sixteenth-century expedition, and an early nineteenth-century Seminole settlement. The essays incorporate previously underexplored markers of culture histories such as clay sources and non-chert lithic tools and address complex issues such as the entanglement of utilitarian artifacts with sociocultural and ritual realms.Experts in their topical specializations, this volume's contributors build on the research methods and interpretive approaches of influential anthropologist Jerald Milanich. They update current archaeological interpretations of Florida history, developing and demonstrating the use of new and improved tools to answer broader and larger questions.
