A rare, well-illustrated report on a Mississippian village that was discovered when soil from it was being used as fill dirt while building a bridge. In fine condition, with former owner's name stamped on bottom edge and written inside front cover. Some sunning on the spine. Inside clean and binding tight. The Chambers site is in the Tennessee-Cumberland region, where many previous excavations have been carried out, especially during the Great Depression. The site yielded evidence of occupation during the period A.D. 1250-1350, the first in the region to come from an area not adjacent to a river. A rare report, in exceptional condition.

Hardcover, no jacket as issued. Good condition with some shelf wear on bottom edge, minor corner bumping, and evidence of last few pages on bottom right having been wet once (no staining or stuck together, just crinkled in the corner). In-depth study of Archaic (ca. 5550-1550 BCE) shellmound culture in southern Mexico (Chiapas). Although mostly authored by Voorhies, several sections are coauthored with colleagues and students. Very useful as a comparative study for those working on similar sites and cultures elsewhere. The book was also groundbreaking because there was little previous work on the early occupations of this part of Chiapas.
