Description: "By studying the ceramic traditions of the Guale Indians, Rebecca Saunders provides evidence of change in Native American lifeways from prehistory through European contact and the end of the Mission period. The Guale were among the first south-eastern groups to come into contact with Spanish and French colonists, and they adapted various strategies in order to ensure their own social survival.

That adaptation is reflected, Saunders shows, in the changing attributes of pottery recovered on archaeological sites on the coasts of Georgia and Florida."--BOOK JACKET.
