Real Mound Builders of North America - A Critical Realist Prehistory of the Eastern Woodlands, 200 Bc1450 Ad

The Real Mound Builders of North America contrasts the evolutionary view that emphasizes abrupt discontinuities with the Hopewellian ceremonial assemblage and mounds. Byers argues that these communities persisted unchanged in terms of their essential structures and traditions, varying only in ceremonial practices that manifested these structures.
