Cover: Oneota Archaeology: Past, Present, and Future - pixalated pottery image Book Title: Oneota Archaeology: Past, Present, and Future

Editor: William Green

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

Publication Date: 1995

ISBN: 0-87414-102-8

Synopsis:
People of the Oneota tradition occupied much of the Midwest and Great Plains between ca. A.D. 1000 and 1700. Oneota complexes have been the subject of archaeological scrutiny for over 70 years. Currently, Oneota archaeology employs a wide array of methods and theoretical frameworks and is gaining added importance as it considers subjects such as agricultural intensification, exchange and interaction, and historic connections.

"A significant contribution to Oneota archaeology and midwestern archaeology in general."
Jodie O'Gorman, American Antiquity
