About this title

Review:

"Explores the transformation of the Central Mississippi Valley aboriginal cultures between A.D. 1350 and 1650, focusing on the Memphis area, . . . Its authors examine one of the most complex and least understood cultural processes--the transfiguration of Native American cultures under the impact of European invasion and contact. It is a formidable task."—American Antiquity

"Towns and Temples brings together scholars who focus their effort upon the Central Mississippi Valley during a 400-year period that witnessed dramatic and absolute changes in a traditional way of life."—John F. Scarry, Florida Department of State
