SB BK: Transitions : Archaic and Early Woodland Research in the Ohio Country

Description: Up for bids is a softbound book, Transitions: Archaic and Early Woodland Research in the Ohio Country, edited by Martha P. Otto & Brian G. Redmond. This book is signed by Tommy Y. Ng, one of the co-authors of chapter 6, “The Early Woodland Component at 33RO583 a Multicomponent Site in Jefferson Township Ross County Ohio.” According to the back cover: “The late archaic and early woodland peoples lived in the Ohio region between 5,000 and 2,000 years ago. This was a time of transition, when hunters and gatherers began to grow native seed crops, establish more permanent settlements, and develop complex forms of ritual and ceremonialism, sometimes involving burial mound construction. The focused archaeological studies described in Transitions: Archaic and Early Woodland Research in the Ohio Country shed light on this important episode in human cultural development. The authors describe important archaeological sites such as the rich Late Archaic settlements of southwestern Ohio and the early Adena Dominion Land Company enclosure in Franklin County. They present detailed accounts of Native American behavior, such as the use of smoking pipes by Adena societies and a reconstruction of mound use and ritual. Transitions is the result of a comprehensive, long-term study focusing on particular areas of Ohio with the most up-to-date and detailed treatment of Ohio’s native cultures during this important time of change. This book will be of great value to students and other readers who wish to go beyond the general and often dated treatments of Ohio archaeology currently available.” Chapter headings include: 1 Archaic Manifestations in Southwestern Ohio and Vicinity 2 Cultural Resource Management and the Analysis of Land Use Patterns of the Archaic in North-Central Ohio 3 Down by the River 4 Early Woodland Prehistory 10001 BC in the Western Lake Erie Drainage Basin 5 Three Early Woodland Occupation Loci in the Chartiers Creek Drainage Allegheny County Pennsylvania 6 The Early Woodland Component at 33RO583 a Multicomponent Site in Jefferson Township Ross County Ohio 7 Early Woodland Ceremonialism in Context 8 Upland Settlement in the Adena Heartland 9 Political Complexity and Mound Construction among the Early and Late Adena of the Hocking Valley Ohio 10 Observations on the Early Woodland Cultural Landscape in the Central Muskingum Valley of Eastern Ohio 11 Smoking Pipes and Early Woodland Mortuary Ritual 12 The Dominion Land Company Site 13 The Adena Complex This book was published in 2008 by Ohio University Press.
