Prehistoric Florida societies, particularly those of the
peninsula, have been largely ignored or given only minor
consideration in overviews of the Mississippian southeast (A.D.
1000-1600). This groundbreaking volume lifts the veil of
uniformity frequently draped over these regions in the
literature, providing the first comprehensive examination of
Mississippi-period archaeology in the state.

Featuring contributions from some of
the most prominent researchers in the field, this collection
describes and synthesizes the latest data from excavations
throughout Florida. In doing so, it reveals a diverse and
vibrant collection of cleared-field maize farmers, part-time
gardeners, hunter-gatherers, and coastal and riverine
fisher/shellfish collectors who formed a distinctive part of
the Mississippian southeast.
