Reviews

Much of this information has never been published before and the book adds greatly to our current knowledge, all based on excavations from 70 years ago. The book is edited by David H. Dye of the University of Memphis. David's own keen insights, as well as those of the other writers, make this a fine and interesting read. Highly recommended. --Central States Archaeology Journal New Deal Archaeology in Tennessee is an excellent edited volume that would be of interest to both students of the history of Americanist archaeology and to Eastern Woodland researchers. This book does a good job of covering the development and implementation of salvage archaeology, the personalities involved, the current applications of the data, and the ultimate legacy of the New Deal Archaeology. --Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology A highly valuable contribution to New Deal archaeology, which had a monumental influence on the practice of archaeology in the United States. --Erin E. Pritchard, coeditor of TVA Archaeology: Seventy-Five Years of Prehistoric Site Research Dye offers an excellent summary of New Deal archaeological efforts and provides a foundation for an interesting collection of essays on diverse topics. --Matthew D. Gage, director of the University of Alabama's Office of Archaeological Research at Moundville Archaeological Park
