Simultaneously, Middle Woodland societies developed the earliest agricultural system in eastern North American using now-extinct native cultivars. \u003ci\u003eMound Centers and Seed Security: A Comparative Analysis of Botanical Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley\u003c\/i\u003e integrates an interpretation of these two historical trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most journal articles on related subjects, the volume includes a lengthy review of literature on both Hopewell studies and Middle Woodland agriculture, making it a useful resource for researchers starting out in either field. Synthesizing both original research and research reported in archaeological “grey literature”, \u003ci\u003eMound Centers and Seed Security: A Comparative Analysis of Botanical Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable tool for researchers and teachers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461459200\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-5921-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 67\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47404762824844,"sku":"9781461459200","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461459200.jpg?v=1775817156","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461459200","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
