Joffre Lanning Coe The name Joffre Lanning Coe (1916-2000) is synonymous with North Carolina archaeology, and the original publication of this book in 1964 represented a landmark in American archaeology. In it Coe reported the results of investigations at three North Carolina archaeological sites and revolutionized perspectives about the age and depth of archaeological sites in the Eastern Woodlands. This work is the original source for many projectile point types identified with the Archaic period (8,000 - 1,000 B.C.) and is frequently cited as such by archaeologists, scholars, and collectors. In the words of Dr. J. Jefferson Reid, “I cannot think of any single work dealing with the archaeology of the East that is more important or cited. . . . Before that publication, time was random. Afterward time was ordered.” Paperbound. Pp. 130. Illus. Index. (7th printing, 2006) (t) |
