It has been recognized as an important archaeological site for almost sixty years and  as a state historic site  has become a popular destination for the public. This book is Joffre Coes illustrated chronicle of the archaeological research conducted at Town Creek  a project with which Coe has been intimately involved for more than fifty years  since its inception as a WPA program in 1937.  Written for visitors as well as for scholars  Town Creek Indian Mound provides an overview of the site and the archaeological techniques pioneered there  surveys the history of the excavations  and features more than 200 photographs and maps. The book carefully reconstructs the archaeological record  including plant and animal remains  pottery sherds  stone tools  and clay ornaments. In a concluding interpretive section  Coe reflects on what Town Creek and its artifacts tell us about this prehistoric Native American society.  Originally published in 1995.
