"If you have ever
wondered about the Indian tribes who lived in the American Southeast
at the time of European settlement, this book is for you. . . . Eleven
of the nation’s top historical archaeologists tackle eleven of the
Indian nations that occupied the territory from Florida to Texas. They
include some of the best known but little-understood American tribes—the
Cherokee, the Natchez, and the Caddo."— American
Archaeology
