Bøger af Martin D. Gallivan

Presenting a study of pre-historic archaeology in the Chesapeake, this book explores the puzzling discrepancies between the ethnohistoric and archaeological records of the Powhatan and Monacan societies met by Jamestown colonists in 1607. It also offers an interpretive approach to Native American culture history.

Breaks new ground by tracing Native placemaking in the Chesapeake from the Algonquian arrival to the Powhatan's clashes with the English. Martin Gallivan details how Virginia Algonquians constructed riverine communities alongside fishing grounds and collective burials and later within horticultural towns.
