This volume explores how native peoples of the Southeastern United States cooperated
to form large and permanent early villages using the site of Crystal River on Florida's
Gult Coast as a case study. Crystal River was once among the most celebrated sites
of the Woodland period (ca. 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1050), consisting of ten mounds and
large numbers of diverse artifacts from the Hopewell culture. But a lack of research
using contemporary methods at this site--and nearby Roberts Island--limited a full
understanding of what these sites could tell scholars. Thomas Pluckhahn and Victor
Thompson reanalyze previous excavations and conduct new field investigations to tell
the whole story of Crystal River from its beginnings as a ceremonial center through
its growth into a large village to its decline at the turn of the first millennium
while Roberts Island and other nearby areas thrived. Comparing this community to similar
sites on the Gulf Coast and in other areas of the world, Pluckhahn ann Thompson argue
that Crystal River is an example of an "early vilalge society." They illustrate that
these early villages present important evidence in a larger debate regarding the role
of competition versus cooperation in the development of human societies--back cover
