About my librarySlowly entering all the books I own. The books tagged WMLibrary are from my professional collection.

Most of the books have now been entered, although there are still a few hold-outs. Still need to clean up some of the descriptions (authors are often incorrect and no authors are listed for edited volumes) and add tags.

Wonderful to share books about famous rocks. Stone art.

The FCR books are the result of a project that I've been meaning to finish and write up for publication for the past 20 years (originally my undergrad thesis), but haven't quite got round to.... I suppose I ought to get myself back up to date on the literature at some point so I can finish it off, but other things keep intervening. Plus, it's mostly gray lit, so it's kind of a pain - all my own fieldwork for the past 13 years has been in Europe, so I'm really out of touch with North American gray lit.

Anyway, I've put a message about your question on the FCR clusters in the Archaeologists group, since I think there are a few CRM people who've joined that group; I don't know if anyone else is keeping an eye on it, but if they see it, they might have useful contributions. Short answer: sounds really interesting - how broken? how clustered? how big?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably get both books through ILL.

Did you see that Pauketat has a new book out this year: "Chiefdoms and Other Archaeological Delusions (Issues in Eastern Woodlands Archaeology)"

Here's a description from "SciTech Book News":

Chiefdoms are one of the many core concepts developed by anthropologists that archaeologists have swallowed whole even when they have physical evidence to the contrary, claims Pauketat (anthropology, U. of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign). He shows how it has wreaked havoc with the study of Mississippian cultures in the Midwestern US. He also looks at community and control in the Southwest US, Mexico, and Mesopotamia.

You are kind to offer... I hope you don't come to regret it ;)

My own background is early medieval. I say this only to let you now how ignorant I am in anything regarding North American history. Recently, I have delved into early explorers of the Missippi and the plains (where I ran across the Cahokian and Mississipian groups) and the Spanish fur trade (where I've run across the Jumano, Apache...).

What I would like would be some monograph or book that would provide an overview to the migration patterns, economics, and culture of these various groups. Or put another way, who came from where, and who surplanted whom.

Is there such a beast? Does this even make sense?

I have access to JSTOR and ILL if that helps.

Fabulous library, sir. I've already gotten some reading ideas and will be back as I am curious about the Mississipian culture and I see you have a number of pertinent texts listed.

Best Regards.
