Timothy K. Perttula
In this major, highly illustrated, new study Tim Perttula explores the cultural and social landscape of the Caddo Indian peoples (hayaanuh) for about 1000 years between c. 900 and 1900 AD. Caddo Landscapes explores the ancestral Caddo constructed landscape, providing detailed information on earthen mounds, specialized non-mound structures, domestic settlements and their key facilities as well as associated gardens and fields, and places where salt, clay, lithic raw materials, and other materials were obtained and the social ties that linked communities in numerous ways.

Featuring case studies from three key regions in North America, this book gives readers a comprehensive view of quarrying activities ranging from extracting the raw material to creating finished stone tools. The volume explores how sites functioned in a broad landscape context, what cultures were responsible for innovative or intensive quarry resource extraction, as well as how land use changed over time.

Transforming the Landscape Rock Art and the Mississippian Cosmos
Rock Art and the Mississippian Cosmos Edited by Carol Diaz-Granados, Jan Simek, George Sabo and Mark Wagner New synthesis focusing on the widespread use of cosmograms in Mississippian rock art imagery.
Edited by Carol Diaz-Granados, Jan Simek, George Sabo and Mark Wagner
This beautifully illustrated volume examines American Indian rock art across an expansive region of eastern North America during the Mississippian Period (post AD 900). A selection of landscape cosmograms from various parts of North America and Europe taken from the ethnographic records are examined and an overview of American Indian cosmographic landscapes provided to illustrate their centrality to indigenous religious traditions. Authors discuss what a cosmogram-based approach can teach us about people, places, and past environments and what more conventional approaches overlook.
