Neuman and Nancy W. Hawkins is an anthropological study that was published in the early 1980s. This informative work aims to introduce readers to the rich archaeological heritage of Louisiana, tracing back to around 10,000 B.C. The book primarily discusses the prehistoric cultures that inhabited the region, detailing the evolution of their lifestyles, societal structures, and the significant cultural practices developed over thousands of years. The narrative outlines the history and activities of various Native American groups from the Paleo-Indian period through to the Neo-Indian period, focusing particularly on key cultures such as the Poverty Point, Tchefuncte, and Caddo. It describes the transition from nomadic lifestyles to more settled agricultural practices, the construction of ceremonial mounds, and trade networks that connected Louisiana inhabitants to distant regions. The book emphasizes the changes in tool-making techniques, dietary practices, and societal organization, culminating in a comprehensive overview of how these early peoples laid the foundation for modern Louisiana's cultural and historical identity.
