Summary

• "When Clarence Bloomfield Moore cruised the rivers of Florida in search of prehistoric artifacts a century ago, he laid the ground-work for archaeological investigations to follow. This volume reflects Moore's field-work along the northwest Florida coast, the most archaeologically rich area of the state, as well as up the Apalachicola River to the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers in Alabama and Georgia."--BOOK JACKET.
• "Here readers will share Moore's first look at the northwest Florida area in 1901-1903 and additional observations made in 1918 during what was to be his last field season. Moore's works reveal ceramics, tools, skeletal remains, and exotic artifacts excavated from the earthen mounds and shell middens built by native peoples over the last two millennia."--BOOK JACKET.
