Food Production in Native North America: An Archaeological Perspective. By Kristen J. Gremillion. 2018. Society for American Archaeology, The SAA Press, Washington, DC. 194 pp.

Abstract

continuum for food production strategies as opposed to the stale hunter-gatherer, horticulturalist, agriculturalist, industrialist typologies of yesteryear. Again, a welcome and necessary approach that is consistent with much contemporary work by archaeobotanists. The rest of the book is an overvieworiented look at pre-Columbian food production strategies in major bioregions of Native North America, including a chapter on post-contact food production and the changes wrought by European colonization, followed by a concluding synthesis.
