Author: David W. Benn
1980, 196 pp.
In this volume, Benn has gathered data from the Hadfields Cave site in Jones County, Iowa, to provide a comprehensive reconstruction of the cultures of Intermediate and Late Woodland peoples in eastern Iowa. The discussion covers fabric-impressed ceramics; stone, bone, and shell tools; settlement patterns; and a dietary analysis.
“Meticulous excavation techniques. . . sophisticated analysis of food items and their caloric values . . . in-depth analysis of the ceramic artifacts which includes a summary of how cordage was made . . . Benn’s ceramic analysis is more lucid than the majority of the research that has preceded it.”
John T. Penman, Plains Anthropologist
