Of Caves and Shell Mounds
Edited by Kenneth C. Carstens and Patty Jo Watson
University of Alabama Press

The authors in this volume offer new, contrary evidence to dispute this earlier assumption, and their studies demonstrate the vigor and complexity of prehistoric peoples in the North American Midwest and Midsouth.
