Reviews
"[A] well-represented volume of articles from some of the region's most talented practitioners....As a contributed volume, this book is as much about archaeologists as is about New England archaeology. It reflects a vigorous and healthy collective broadening of perspective, sophistication in the appropriate application of related sciences, and most importantly, recognition of reliance upon a firm anthropological foundation." Northeast Historical Archaeology, "Ably edited....The Archaeological Northeast presents an impressive collections of essays on the archaeological excursions of the American Northeast....The Archaeological Northeast is a superbly presented, scholarly survey and an invaluable, seminal, addition to archaeological studies reading lists, Native America studies curriculum supplements, and prehistory of Northeastern North American library reference collections."- Bookwatch

Synopsis
Despite the advances made in archaeology over the past generation, the Northeast remains the most misunderstood of all the archaeological regions of North America. With a complex environmental history shaped by ice sheets from the last glaciation, and highly acidic soils characteristic of the area, the kinds of organic artifacts found in other areas have been destroyed in the Northeast. The result is a sometimes evasive, particularly complicated, and always fragmentary archaeological record. As the chapters in this volume demonstrate, the Northeast is a region that inspires the development of innovative research designs and thoughtful and relevant questions. Each author has been a graduate student of Dena Dincauze, who has done much to foster understanding of the prehistory of Northeastern North America.
