Review:

"This volume presents the largest set of systematically collected archaeological data available for the Lower Mississippi River Valley. The information on human settlement patterns, chronology, and technological adaptation, beginning with the late Paleo-indian period and extending through the World War II military use of the land, will be valuable for anyone working in the south-central United States."—Charles R. McGimsey, University of Southwestern Louisiana

"This voluminous detailed report on the 125,000 acres available to archaeologists at Fort Polk, Louisiana, contains masses of data, tables, and the like covering a great deal of material recovered relating to Indians in the area and later to the military community."—Journal of the West
