Instructors of undergraduate and graduate courses and researchers whose interests concern culture contact, archaeological analytic scale, Native studies, or ethnohistorical methods are sure to ?nd Rodning's book a valuable contribution to their repertoire. --Ethnohistory Center Places and Cherokee Towns is a theoretically informed study that dovetails with popular, contemporary, and archaeological concerns with landscape, social memory, and symbolism. Well written and well cited, it will have broad appeal to archaeologists working throughout the eastern United States and elsewhere in North America. --Gregory D. Wilson, author of The Archaeology of Everyday Life at Early Moundville Drawing on historical accounts, myths and folklore, oral histories, and archaeological investigations, [Rodning] demonstrates the importance of the natural and the built environment. Center Places and Cherokee Towns is a readable and important addition to a growing body of literature that builds on the cultural landscape. --American Archaeology
