Cherokee Archaeology: A Study of the Appalachian Summit

by Bennie C. Keel

Overview

Keel's work throughout the book is excellent and in the elegant and precise tradition which we have come to associate with Joffre Coe and his students and associates. Cherokee Archaeology provides archaeologists with an invaluable source for future studies. —James H. Howard, American Antiquity

Cherokee Archaeology provides much good information about the archaeology of the Appalachian Summit Area. Bennie Keel makes a lot more sense of the prehistory of the tri-state area (North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina) than anyone else ever has. —James B. Griffin
