The Powhatan Landscape: An Archaeological History of the Algonquian Chesapeake (Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology)

A great book dealing with the archaeology of the Powhatan Indians of Virginia. The work done at Chief Powhatan's capital, a newly established nation park, was of special interest. Most of the modern Powhatan tribes have now received federal recognition. This book is a great addition to any Native American collection.

If you enjoy historical archaeology and the early history of Virginia, this book will be right up your alley. Gallivan has an easy-to-follow writing style (even for non-specialists). Even as someone with a fair bit of knowledge on this topic, I learned a lot about indigenous and archaeological perspectives on this period.
