Reviews

Wright's investigation and interpretations of the Garden Creek site open a window on an important and understudied corner of the Hopewell Interaction Sphere. The intensive investigation of this relatively small area is an exemplary case study that will be useful as a model for similar projects. - Bradley T. Lepper, author of Ohio Archaeology: An Illustrated Chronicle of Ohio's Ancient American Indian Cultures Garden Creek skillfully summarizes past and present work at an important site, challenging the notion that Native American societies of Appalachia were isolated from those elsewhere in North America and, in a larger sense, the assumption that the indigenous societies of the continent were any less 'globalized' than our own. - Thomas Pluckhahn, coeditor of Light on the Path: The Anthropology and History of the Southeastern Indians
