Reviews

A theoretically nuanced and data-rich addition to our archaeological understanding of Mississippian warfare. This is a must-read for those interested in the historical interplay of violence, foodways, and identity. - Gregory D. Wilson, coeditor of The Archaeology of Food and Warfare: Food Insecurity in Prehistory This volume is an innovative look at the role of warfare in Mississippian societies that convincingly argues we can identify the presence and effects of warfare in the past. Through an examination of settlement patterns, ceramic and zooarchaeological Buchanan creates a compelling narrative that interprets archaeological data with an anthropological understanding of the daily costs of living through warfare. - Maureen Meyers, coeditor of Contact, Colonialism, and Native Communities in the Southeastern United States
