People of the Oneota tradition occupied much of the Midwest and Great Plains between ca. A.D. 1000 and 1700. Oneota complexes have been the subject of archaeological scrutiny for over 70 years. This volume summarizes the status of Oneota research in the central and upper Midwest at the end of the 20th Century. It also reviews the history of archaeological thought on Oneota, and it raises questions and indicates directions for future research. Oneota archaeology employs a wide array of methods and theoretical frameworks and focuses on research related to the intensification of agriculture, exchange and interaction, and historic connections. This volume provides important background information for those interested in Oneota research. An update on current research readers should see the 2016 publication Oneota Historical Connections: Working Together in Iowa edited by Shirley J. Schermer, William Green, Larry Zimmerman, Linda Forman, and Robin M. Lillie (available as a PDF download).
“A significant contribution to Oneota archaeology and Midwestern archaeology in general.”
