Book Synopsis
Between AD 1000 and 1635, the inhabitants of southwestern Pennsylvania and portions of adjacent states - known as the Monongahela Culture or Tradition - began to reside in ring-shaped village settlements. These circular settlements consisted of dwellings around a central plaza. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of circular village forms.

Trade Review
A fine contribution to Monongahela settlement in particular, and methods for analyzing circular village forms in general. Its main contribution is in developing models of settlement and showing the diversity of Monongahela village organizations. - Marvin T. Smith, author of Coosa: The Rise and Fall of a Southeastern Mississippian Chiefdom ""Innovative and unique, this work could become a classic in Eastern Woodlands archaeology literature."" - John P. Hart, author of Current Northeast Paleoethnobotany
