this Book now
First published in 1952, this book
literally defined much of Florida archaeology and has remained the basis for all
archaeological understanding of the St. Johns River area.
Space and Time Perspective is one of the first volumes to present the
culture, history, chronology, and character of archaeological remains for an
entire region of the Southeast, including artifact definitions and descriptions
of sites long destroyed by construction and agricultural projects. A magnificent
compilation of data, it also includes information collected from museums around
the United States.
John Goggin was a pioneer in recognizing the significance of the environment in
the interpretation of archaeological remains. His discussion of changing sea
level and its effects on the suitability of coastal areas for supporting large
populations has informed most subsequent interpretations of northeast Florida
archaeology.

"Will long stand as a highly
important reference on the area. The wealth of material
summarized, and the inclusiveness of the bibliographical
coverage, will assure this. More importantly, the book provides a
framework which may be regarded as a series of hypotheses to be
tested in the future, and suggestss, both explicitly and
implicitly, problems to be investigated in the field. In this
respect it is undeniably the most significant single work which
has appeared on this important area."-- John W.
Griffin, The Florida Anthropologist
