Reviews for Boundary Conditions: Macrobotanical Remains and the Oliver Phase of Central Indiana, A.D. 1200-1450

The regional perspective and the application of correspondence analysis in examining data patterning are especially laudable aspects of the study. - William Green, Director of the Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College
