AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Anderson presents a synopsis of Swift Creek culture mostly based on the other chapters from this book (document nos. 10-23). He also speculates about trade, exchange, information networks, settlement patterns, the distribution of major and minor centers, subsistence, ceremonial architecture, religion, and warfare. He points out that the current research has also led to more questions and points to new areas for further research.
