Description

Book Synopsis
By the 14th century more than a dozen accretional burial mounds - reaching heights of 12 to 15 feet - marked the floodplains of interior Virginia. This study uses what remains of the mounds - excavated from the 1890s to the 1980s - to gain a new understanding of the Monacans.

Trade Review
With the eyes of Sherlock Holmes, Gold takes both scraps of historical information and, more important, fragments of skeletal remains and constructs the late prehistory of the mysterious and overlooked Monacans of western Virginia. Her work is extremely valuable to the fields of bioarchaeology and history.; - Keith P. Jacobi, author of Last Rites of the Tipu Maya: Genetic Structuring in a Colonial Cemetery
