• W75739939 abstract "Early Hopewell Mound Explorations: The First Fifty Years in the Illinois River Valley. Edited by Kenneth B. Farnsworth (Champaign: Studies in Archaeology No. 3. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2004. Illus, tables, notes, index. Paper, $60.00). American archaeology has been practiced in various regional contexts since the first published accounts of American antiquities appeared in the late eighteenth century. The Illinois River Valley is one such region, and an important one both in terms of the study of Hopewell culture and the history of American archeology. Kenneth B. Farnsworth's Early Hopewell Mound Explorations: The First Fifty Years in the Illinois River Valley chronicles the history of archaeological investigations in that important region in a thorough and engaging manner. The Studies in Archaeology Series is edited by Thomas E. Emerson and published by the Illinois Transportation Archaeological Research Program (ITARP), a cooperative venture between the University of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in preserving the state's rich archaeological heritage. The University of Illinois and IDOT established ITARP in 1994, which continues the work of the earlier Illinois Archaeological Survey established in 1959 under the direction of Charles J. Baries. One of the goals of ITARP as a research unit of the University of Illinois is to publish works on archaeological and historical topics for both professional and public audiences. Early Hopewell Mound Explorations: The First Fifty Years in the Illinois River Valley is a welcome addition to the series. Early Hopewell Mound Explorations is an excellent example of what Farnsworth appropriately calls the historical process of rediscovery(xix). His research is based on archival records and museum collections curated at the University of Illinois, the Illinois State Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution. Farnsworth's volume is the work of one who has labored for many years in the vineyards of his subject. Historical studies of this nature are an integral component of the ongoing process of archaeological reanalysis, and the history of archaeology, consequently, is an important field of professional specialization. Farnsworth's ninety-three page introductory essay, Hopewellian Studies in the Lower Illinois Valley, 1878-1928, places the archaeological investigations conducted during that period, the lives of the investigators, and the facsimile reprints of the fifteen pioneer contributions to the archaeology of the Illinois River Valley that follow within an historical context. These early studies have been known by students of Hopewell archaeology but have not been readily accessible to the general public. Reprinting them in facsimile is a boon to researchers, who can cite the original pagination of reports that have been out of print for many years. Two previously unpublished manuscripts are also published here for the first time, dating from 1916 and 1928 respectively, which add to the work's originality, as do the previously unpublished photographs relating to fieldwork of the archaeologists whose contributions to knowledge are chronicled within Farnsworth's historical excursus. The photographs are not window dressing merely, but valuable historical evidence in their own right. Restrictions of space alone preclude me from entering fully into this branch of the subject. …" @default.
