The Archaeology of Architecture in the Native Southeast

Description

WCU anthropology professor and Dillsboro resident, Benjamin A. Steere will visit City Lights Bookstore on Friday, May 12th at 6:30 p.m. He will present his new book, The Archaeology of Houses and Households in the Native Southeast which is a compelling study that explores the evolution of houses and households in the southeastern United States from the Woodland to the Historic Indian period (ca. 200 BC to 1800 AD). Steere’s major achievement is the compilation of one of the largest and most detailed architectural datasets for the Southeast, including data for 1,258 domestic and public structures from 65 archaeological sites in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the southern parts of Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois.
