This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.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.

(Eric Waldram) Kemp -- Index. -- `Yet the greatest of seventeenth-century patriarchs of Constantinople, Cyril I Lucaris, who was on the throne for seven different periods between 1612 and 1638, published a personal Confession which was distinctly and consciously Calvinist. To most of the Orthodox his views were shocking. It was at this time that they came into contact with the Anglicans. The Anglican and Orthodox Churches had much in common.' (p. 3) -- Palmer's [William, of Magdalen College, Oxford] attempt to storm the Russian sacramental citidel has usually been written off as a piece of individualism which did no harm, but did no good. A more charitable, and perhaps a juster, estimate is given by Florovsky: ".Certain links were established between Oxford and Moscow, and theological professors and students in Moscow used to collate Greek manuscripts of the Fathers for the Library of Fathers."'
