Synopsis:
In this comprehensive study of the Woodland Tradition, Theler examines
the full annual cycle of subsistence activities in the upper Mississippi
Valley. The book represents a landmark in the study of aboriginal diet,
seasonal resource scheduling, and the dimensions of change and stability.
". . . adds a new dimension to upper Mississippi Valley archaeology.
. . . Woodland Tradition Economic Strategies is a welcome and informative
addition to Midwestern archaeology. It should be in the library of every
archaeologist interested in Midwestern archaeology and in the emergence
of cultural complexity among hunter-gatherers."
Guy Gibbon, Journal of the Iowa Archeological Society
"Theler has produced an excellent account of economic variation
and change in the upper Midwest. The book is very well written and deserves
a wide readership. It will be of particular value to anyone with an
interest in faunal analysis, fresh-water mussels, or midwestern archaeology."
Robert E. Warren, American Antiquity
