Reviewed: Albert C. Goodyear & Christopher R. Moore(ed.). 2018. Early human life on the Southeastern coastal plain. Gainesville: University of Florida Press; 978-1-683-40034-9 $125. This edited volume resulted from a day-long session at the 2014 Southeastern Archaeological Conference. More than half of the original 22 session papers were revised to appear in this volume, which provides 15 chapters on the archaeology, geoarchaeology and palaeoenvironments of the coastal plain of the Southeastern USA from the earliest arrival of people in the area until approximately 9000 years ago. As is common with conference proceedings, there is some unevenness in the geographic and temporal coverage, but the chapters represent an admirable range of scholars from all career stages, and many of the most recent technical and theoretical approaches in early Southeastern archaeology are represented. This text will be most relevant for Southeastern specialists, but some chapters provide methodological or theoretical approaches likely to be of interest to specialists in landscape reconstruction, lithic analyses or forager studies.
