The Moundville Expeditions of Clarence Bloomfield Moore: Clarence Bloomfield Moore

The Moundville Expeditions of Clarence Bloomfield Moore brings together, in a handsome facsimile edition, two landmark studies documenting the first large-scale archaeological investigations of Alabama's most important prehistoric Native American site. Originally published in 1905 and 1907 and presented here with an introduction by noted archaeologist Vernon James Knight Jr., the volume preserves the pioneering work of Clarence Bloomfield Moore, one of the most influential figures in American archaeology, whose river expeditions helped establish the foundations of Southeastern archaeological research. 

Focusing on Moundville, one of the most important ceremonial centers of the Mississippian world, this richly illustrated work offers readers an unparalleled window into the discovery and interpretation of a site that shapes our understanding of Indigenous history in the American South. 

Produced in an oversized format that showcases Moore's photographs, maps, plates, and field documentation, this volume is both a vital scholarly resource and an impressive keepsake worthy of any personal or institutional library. Of interest to archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, students of Native American history, Alabama history enthusiasts, museum professionals, collectors of regional history, and readers fascinated by the exploration of America's ancient past. 

Other books in this same series include sites in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
