Purchase options and add-ons

Keel's work throughout the book is excellent and in the elegant and precise tradition which we have come to associate with Joffre Coe and his students and associates. Cherokee Archaeology provides archaeologists with an invaluable source for future studies. --James H. Howard, American Antiquity

Cherokee Archaeology provides much good information about the archaeology of the Appalachian Summit Area. Bennie Keel makes a lot more sense of the prehistory of the tri-state area (North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina) than anyone else ever has. --James B. Griffin

    Foundational understanding of Cherokee archeology
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013
    Since purchasing Bennie Keel's book on the Native American archaeology of western North Carolina several years ago, it has stayed on the top of the reference table constantly. It is the only book on that subject that I trust. I use it constantly in my own research and in professional writing.

    He maintained a high level of professional standards throughout. He never labeled speculations or theories as facts. There are many things that the public does not know about what was happening behind the scenes in 1976. The State Government of North Carolina was pressuring archaeologists and historians to publicly state that the Cherokees had been in the North Carolina Mountains for at least 1000 years. There is absolutely no archaeological evidence to support that political policy. Keel played his cards straight. He said that the Historical Period artifacts he unearthed were probably of Cherokee origin but that there was a century long gap between Cherokee style artifacts and the mound builders. He could not say that the mound building culture was proto-Cherokee.

    In contrast two other archaeologists in that period basically said that since the artifacts were found in the North Carolina Mountains, regardless of their age, they were Cherokee. That made the politicians and bureaucrats happy, but will soon come to haunt the current crop of North Carolina archaeologists and produce an enormous scandal for the state. There is about to be a news published that will prove Mr. Keel correct.

    I recommend this book highly.
