“A worthy successor to Barry Kent’s classic work on the
Susquehannock, probably the least known of the northern Iroquoian
people. Building on Kent’s original synthesis, this volume adds
important new information and offers a range of analytical
perspectives. This volume brings us up to date not only on
Susquehannock people and their culture, but also on how archaeology
is being practiced in the twenty-first century.”—James
Bradley,author of Before Albany: An Archaeology of Native-Dutch
Relations in the Capital Region, 1600–1664
“This valuable and timely collection of essays integrates the
contributions made by University, State, and CRM archeologists to
reevaluate previous concepts regarding the origins, settlement
patterns, and material culture of the Susquehannocks. The new data
presented in this volume will further reinforce the importance of
the Susquehannocks in Iroquoian archaeology and will provide a view
of Susquehannock history within a broader context of colonial
relations of power and inequality.”—Joseph E. Diamond,SUNY New
Paltz
“This volume grew out of a symposium organized by the Pennsylvania
Archaeological Council and presents eight chapters that are
thoroughly modern in outlook along with an insightful and erudite
introduction by the éminence grise of Iroquoian archaeology,
emeritus professor of anthropology at Pennsylvania State
University, Dean Snow.”—Joy Porter Canadian Journal of History /
