This collection of Ford's works focuses on the development of ceramic chronology a key tool in Americanist archaeology.

When James Ford began archaeological fieldwork in 1927, scholars divided time simply into prehistory and history. Though certainly influenced by his colleagues, Ford devoted his life to establishing a chronology for prehistory based on ceramic types, and today he deserves credit for bringing chronological order to the vast archaeological record of the Mississippi Valley.

This book collects Ford's seminal...
