Is there really gold in that Indian mound? What tribe left all these artifacts behind? Can the government take my artifact collection away? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For more than twenty years, Evan Peacock, an archaeologist at Mississippi State University, has been fielding and answering questions such as these from the public. In \u003ci\u003eMississippi Archaeology Q \u0026amp; A\u003c\/i\u003e, he gathers those answers in one place to give landowners, history buffs, arrowhead hunters, and students new to archaeology an invaluable handbook of dos and don'ts. Peacock writes for the lay reader, supplies humorous anecdotes from his years in the field, and never scolds. Instead he respectfully introduces the neophyte to the wonders of the remarkable prehistoric and historic remains throughout the Magnolia State. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rather than pursuing a hobby in a destructive manner, in-formed artifact collectors can and do contribute to the field. This book offers solid suggestions on how enthusiasts can play a helpful role. \u003ci\u003eMississippi Archaeology Q \u0026amp; A\u003c\/i\u003e explains the basic methods that archaeologists use to find, explore, and interpret ancient sites. In a clear and straightforward manner, Peacock divulges what he has learned about landowners' rights and other legal issues. The guide describes many important archaeological sites in Mississippi and adjacent states and the different kinds of artifacts commonly found in the region. For people who wish to protect a site or for those who would like to sell a site or obtain a tax break for its preservation, this guide contains critical information. While the book focuses closely on Native American artifacts, it also thoroughly treats the full range of Mississippi's historical treasures from the remnants of pioneer settlers to Civil War curios.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50103545594129,"sku":"CIN0385310269G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353217274129,"sku":"CIN0385310269A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51318821028113,"sku":"CIN0385310269VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53104582099217,"sku":"GOR003069592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385310269.jpg?v=1751229512"},{"product_id":"what-your-fifth-grader-needs-to-know-book-e-d-hirsch-jr-9780385497213","title":"What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know","description":"This is the first edition of the fourteenth-century \u003ci\u003eLumen anime C\u003c\/i\u003e and of its German translation \u003ci\u003eDas liecht der sel\u003c\/i\u003e, completed in 1426 by Ulrich Putsch, Bishop of Brixen (Bressanone) in the South Tyrol. The two works are theological compendia for use in homiletic and catechetical contexts, and teach their intended readership much about basic Christian doctrine and morality, with a special emphasis on the Virgin Mary. Their didactic method makes particular use of nature exempla and of (frequently spurious) quotations from authorities. Both were highly influential in late-medieval Germany, especially in Austria and Bavaria, but their important role in conveying the insights of late-medieval Catholicism to an increasingly numerous lay audience has yet to be fully appreciated. The present edition should facilitate this and several other necessary re-assessments. Critical texts of the Latin and German versions are printed in parallel. They are preceded by an introduction which offers, for each text in turn, descriptions of its manuscripts, an account of its textual history, and an evaluation of previous research - and, in respect of \u003ci\u003eDas liecht der sel\u003c\/i\u003e, also covers the biography of Ulrich Putsch.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50147062481169,"sku":"CIN0385497210G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50486856286481,"sku":"CIN0385497210VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":51351056318737,"sku":"CIN0385497210LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385497210.jpg?v=1751259872"},{"product_id":"aims-of-interpretation-book-e-d-hirsch-9780226342412","title":"Aims of Interpretation","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50262696886545,"sku":"CIN0226342417G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50772626735377,"sku":"CIN0226342417VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52739350790417,"sku":"GOR011669123","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226342417.jpg?v=1751005269"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jr-hirsch.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
