Reviews

""It's an enriching and visually compelling exploration of the Gulf Coast's complex and enduring human story."" --American Archaeology ""The discussions are abundantly illustrated with pictures of sites, archaeologists at work, and the records they recover. . . While of obvious regional interest, the format results in a volume of much wider appeal in explaining the work of archaeologists to the public."" --CHOICE ""The archaeology of southern Alabama makes interesting and important contributions to knowledge about culture and history of the Gulf South, and Gregory A. Waselkov and Philip J. Carr bring this archaeology to life here in an expertly crafted, compelling book that deserves to be widely read by specialists and the broader public."" --Christopher B. Rodning, author of Center Places and Cherokee Towns: Archaeological Perspectives on Native American Architecture and Landscape in the Southern Appalachians ""[The] text provides important intellectual content, while high-quality photos of excavations, maps, and artifacts stimulate the visual senses."" --Alabama Writers' Forum
