Rivers of Change : Essays on Early Agriculture in Eastern North America

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Rivers of Change, awarded the James Henry Breasted Prize by the American Historical Association, is the first comprehensive consideration of eastern North America as an independent, primary center of plant domestication and agriculture. Focusing on data derived from the expanding discipline of archaeobotany, Bruce D. Smith presents a provocative alternative theory of how prehistoric North American societies developed from hunting and gathering systems to food-producing economies. Smith has written a new preface for this paperback edition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
