An investigation of oral tradition, archaeology, and historical records provides new insight into this now largely vanished world known as Iroquoia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEngelbrecht covers a wide geographic range, exploring regional and temporal differences in material culture and subsistence patterns. He finds change over time in the distribution and size of communities and in response to environmental demographic, and social factors. In addition, he furthers the controversial debate that \"arrow sacrifice\" and other beliefs spread from Mesoamerica with the dispersal of maize and horticulture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough scholars have suggested that palisaded hilltop Iroquoian villages were constructed with an eye for defense, this book is unique in showing that the longhouse--known mainly as a community forum and spiritual place--may also have served as a defense structure. Throughout this work, which will become the new\u003cbr\u003estandard text to which scholars will refer, Engelbrecht reminds us that the the study of the Iroquoian people continues to enrich and inform the modern world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Engelbrecht\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of anthropology at Buffalo State College.
