林地时期（约公元前1200年至公元1000年）是过去25年来大量考古研究的主题。研究人员已经了解到，在这大约2000年的时期，东南地区的人们经历了越来越多的定居，人口增长和组织复杂性。在这一时期的开始，人们被认为是生活在小群体中，松散地受到集体埋葬仪式的约束。但到了公元第一个千年，该地区的一些地方已经有了由世袭精英统治的密集的公民仪式中心。玉米现在是主要的粮食作物。也许最重要的是，古代以动物为中心、以狩猎为基础的宗教和宇宙学正在被太阳和战争图像所取代，这与依赖农业的社会是一致的，精英们之间的竞争越来越激烈。这本书综合了在这个时代发生的事情以及这些变化是如何产生的研究，同时分析了这个时期的考古记录。在收集林地时期的最新研究时，编辑们包括了在该领域工作的所有专家的贡献，突出了主要主题，并指导读者到适当的主要来源。对于考古学家和人类学家，无论是专业的还是业余的，这将是一个有价值的参考工作，对了解东南部的林地时期至关重要。
The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record. In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast.
