Hadfields Cave: A Perspective on Late Woodland Culture on Northeastern Iowa Book Title: Hadfields Cave: A Perspective on Late Woodland Culture in Northeastern Iowa

Author: David W. Benn

Publisher: Office of the State Archaeologist, The University of Iowa

Publication Date: 1980

ISBN: 0-87414-012-9

Synopsis:
In this volume, Benn has gathered data from the Hadfields Cave site in Jones County, Iowa, to provide a comprehensive reconstruction of the cultures of Intermediate and Late Woodland peoples in eastern Iowa. The discussion covers fabric-impressed ceramics; stone, bone, and shell tools; settlement patterns; and a dietary analysis.

"Meticulous excavation techniques. . . sophisticated analysis of food items and their caloric values . . . in-depth analysis of the ceramic artifacts which includes a summary of how cordage was made . . . Benn's ceramic analysis is more lucid than the majority of the research that has preceded it."John T. Penman, Plains Anthropologist
