Abstract

The existence of monumental archaeological sites in the American Southwest and elsewhere (primarily the mounds of the Eastern Woodlands) have long been a source of both fascination and frustration for archaeologists and non-archaeologists alike.

长期以来，美国西南部和其他地方存在的不朽的考古遗址(主要是东部林地的土丘)一直是考古学家和非考古学家既着迷又沮丧的源泉。这些“失落的”文明遗迹的存在引发了人们的思考，不仅是关于这些文明的本质及其与后代社会的关系(在专业考古学兴起之前，这种联系通常被否认)，而且是关于时间、失落和我们对过去的知识的局限。作为最具考古意义的浪漫主义诗人，珀西·比希·雪莱在《奥兹曼迪亚斯》中写道:

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
