Each site is described, with a short account of its discovery, location in relation to other sites and natural features, testing and excavations, and artifacts. The site descriptions are arranged in chronological \"phases\"-- Castle Creek, Oak Hill, Chance, and Garoga--based upon William A. Ritchie's classification. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the last chapter, Professor Tuck summaries his wealth of data and interprets the origin and development of Onondaga culture in view of his archaeological findings, which also make us of radiocarbon dating techniques.\u003cbr\u003eThe illustrations are an essential part of the book. Forty-four plates show arrowpoints, ceramic sherds, post molds revealing outlines of longhouses, cooking pits, occasional human burials, smoking pipes, and much more. Eight figures provide maps of sites, specific details of excavations, and a chronological sequence of Onondaga villages. Twenty-one tales give the frequencies and percentages of smoking pipe varieties, faunal remains, ceramic types, and other items discovered in the field work. An appendix includes techniques of ceramic analysis and many line drawings of ceramic varieties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tuck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815625111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815625117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.04w x 0.76d","brand":"James Tuck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926469312767,"sku":"9780815625117","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_65955c0e-b4a7-4525-b221-163c7b81b355.jpg?v=1681083245","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/onondaga-iroquois-prehistory-james-tuck-9780815625117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
