About this title

Review:

"O'Brien and Lyman have provided a new generation of Southeastern archaeologists with the thought and work James Ford. Ford's Lower Valley data and analyses, as well as his theoretical constructs, will again be readily accessible for reassessment and appreciation."—Lewis Larson, State University of West Georgia

"Sheds a great deal of light on the struggle of eastern North American archaeology to find its place in the larger anthropological study of Native American cultures."—American Anthropologist

Synopsis:

James Ford devoted his life to establishing a chronology for prehistory based on ceramic types. This volume traces the development of culture history in American archaeology by providing a single reference for all Ford's writing on chronology.
