Recovering Ancient Spiro: Native American Art, Ritual, and Cosmic Renewal by F. Kent Reilly, Eric D. Singleton

informative slow-paced

5.0

An extraordinary, special look at Spiro, an important light in the Mississippian constellation. The book is divided into several smaller articles, each focused on a particular window into looking at the significance of Spiro. 

This was an excellent way to dive into the Mississippian culture and cosmology.

The Mississippian Culture by Charles River Editors

The information appears to be good, but this feels alike a mid-grade college paper instead of a book. 

Nevertheless, I learned some new things.
