Revisiting McKeithen Weeden Island Complexity, Ritual, and Pottery

"This is a thoroughly enjoyable read and exceptional work. There is so much richness here in terms of the discussion of ideology, costly signaling, schizmogenesis, and so on, and the weaving together of these topics is done masterfully. It will be a must-read because it answers a call from researchers to focus more on the role of ideology and social practices in culture change and understanding the archaeological record."-Philip Carr, coeditor of Investigating the Ordinary: Everyday Matters in Southeast Archaeology
