Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Georgia’s Indians from elephant hunts to the European invasion. Spanning 12,000 years, this scientifically accurate and very readable book guides readers through the prehistoric and historic archaeological evidence left by Georgia’s native peoples. It is the only comprehensive, up-to-date, and text-based overview of its kind in print. Drawing on an extensive body of archaeological and historical data, White traces Native American cultural development and accomplishment over the millennia preceding the establishment of Georgia as a colony and state. Each chapter opens with a vivid fictional vignette transporting the reader to a past culture and setting the scene for the narrative that follows. From hunting giant buffalo and elephants to attempts in the 1700s and 1800s to maintain tribal integrity in the face of European and Euro-American violence and threats, White takes the reader on an archaeologically based tour of the land that today is Georgia. Evidence from selected archaeological sites and projects is woven into the narrative, and insets supplement the main text to highlight informative passages from archaeological reports and historical documents. A generous number of photographs, maps, and illustrations aid the reader in identifying artifacts and testify to the artistic abilities of these indigenous peoples of Georgia.

This book was released on 1999-09-20 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication This reissue of Charles Jones’s classic investigations of the Mound Builders will be an invaluable resource for archaeologists today Long a classic of southeastern archaeology, Charles Jones’s Antiquities of the Southern Indians was a groundbreaking work that linked historic tribes with prehistoric “antiquities.” Published in 1873, it predated the work of Cyrus Thomas and Clarence Moore and remains a rich resource for modern scholars. Jones was a pioneer of archaeology who not only excavated important sites but also related his findings to other sites, to contemporary Indians, and to artifacts from other areas. His work covers all of the southeastern states, from Virginia to Louisiana, and is noted for its insights into the De Soto expedition and the history of the Creek Indians. Best known for refuting the popular myth of the Mound Builders, Jones proposed a connection between living Native Americans of the 1800s and the prehistoric peoples who had created the Southeast’s large earthen mounds. His early research and culture comparisons led to the eventual demise of the Mound Builder myth. For this reissue of Jones’s book, a new introduction by Frank Schnell places Jones’s work in the context of his times and relates it to current research in the Southeast. An engagingly written work enhanced by numerous maps and engravings, Antiquities of the Southern Indians will serve today’s scholars and fascinate all readers interested in the region’s prehistory.

This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia's early history is rich with Native American culture. Several tribes, including the Apalachees and Cherokees, lived on the land for many years. After Europeans, such as Hernado DeSoto, arrived in the New World, other tribes were forced into the area. During the 19th century, Native American tribes were kicked out of Georgia, even though the Supreme Court ruled this to be unconstitutional. Many of the tribes that were forced to leave Georgia ended up on reservations in Oklahoma. Primary sources and engaging images bring history to life on each spread. Readers will walk away with a better understanding of Native American cultures through the history of Georgia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The descriptive material [in the book] is priceless. . . . Any archaeologist who works on Mississippian cultures will want it."--Vin Steponaitis, University of North Carolina Spectacular discoveries at Mound C at the Etowah site in Georgia, the result of excavations from 1925 to 1928, changed the American perspective of the artistic achievements of prehistoric Native Americans in the eastern United States. These discoveries, in a mound that had supposedly already been excavated under the sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institution in 1883, made up the final major field expedition of Warren King Moorehead, a legendary figure in American archaeology. The papers, written in the first person and originally published in 1932, at the end of what is considered the humanistic "golden age" of American anthropology, today offer a fresh understanding of the history of American archaeology and of the cultural heritage of prehistoric Native America. The Etowah site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Contents I. Exploration of the Etowah Site in Georgia, by Warren King Moorehead II.

Download or read book Native American and Spanish Influences in Mcintosh County Georgia written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019-08-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph represents a consolidation of material relating to archaeological research and findings contained in the author's earlier works on the history of Sapelo Island and McIntosh County, Georgia, in particular Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater: A New Revised Edition (2018), Environmental Influences on Life & Labor in McIntosh County, Georgia (2018), and Sapelo: People and Place on a Georgia Sea Island (2017). Additional new material not found in those volumes has been added to the present text to provide greater elaboration on archaeological field work at the Fort King George site near Darien in the 1950s and 1960s, and at the Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge. The path-breaking work of Clarence Bloomfield Moore, who conducted the first systematic archaeological field work with attendant academic rigor in what is now McIntosh County has been amplified considerably. While this study is not considered to be definitive, it nonetheless is offered as an overview of the field research of archaeologists and historians from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first relating to investigations of pre-Columbian and Spanish sites, most specifically at Sapelo and Creighton islands, and Fort King George. In essence then, this may be considered a "layman's guide" to local archaeology.
