This valuable and timely collection of essays integrates the contributions made by University, State, and CRM archeologists to reevaluate previous concepts regarding the origins, settlement patterns, and material culture of the Susquehannocks. The new data presented in this volume will further reinforce the importance of the Susquehannnocks in Iroquoian archaeology and will provide a view of Susquehannock history within a broader context of colonial relations of power and inequality. --Joseph E. Diamond, SUNY New Paltz A worthy successor to Barry Kent's classic work on the Susquehannock, probably the least known of the northern Iroquoian people. Building on Kent's original synthesis, this volume adds important new information and offers a range of analytical perspectives. This volume not only brings us up to date on Susquehannock people and their culture, but on how archaeology is being practiced in the twenty-first century. --James Bradley, author of Before Albany: An Archaeology of Native-Dutch Relations in the Capital Region 1600-1664
