Description for Biocultural Histories in La Florida: A Bioarchaeological Perspective
Paperback. Examines the effects of the Spanish mission system on population structure and genetic variability in indigenous communities living in northern Florida and southern Georgia during the 16th and 17th centuries. This book highlights the specificity with which indigenous communities responded to European contact and the resulting transformations. Num Pages: 256 pages, 21 illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBBFG; 1KBBFL; 3JB; 3JD; JHMP; PSX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 354.
This book examines the effects of the Spanish mission system on population structure and genetic variability in indigenous communities living in northern Florida and southern Georgia during the 16th and 17th centuries. Data on tooth size were collected from 26 archaeological samples representing three time periods: Late Precontact (1200-1500), Early Mission (1600-1650), and Late Mission (1650-1700) and were subjected to a series of statistical tests evaluating genetic variability. Predicted changes in phenotypic population variability are related to models of group interaction, population demography, and genetic admixture as suggested by ethnohistoric and archaeological data. Results suggest considerable differences in diachronic responses ... Read more

Reviews for Biocultural Histories in La Florida: A Bioarchaeological Perspective
Stojanowski's work is like man's DNA, the structure of a lifeform, but here it is the structure or glue that holds together the historic puzzle with its Apalachee, Timucua, Guale, and Spanish pieces that other scholars have been trying to put together. - Keith P. Jacobi, author of Last Rites for the Tipu Maya
