Book Description:
|
Utopian and intentional communities have dotted the American landscape since the colonial era, yet only in recent decades have archaeologists begun analysing the material culture left behind by these groups. The case studies in this volume use archaeological evidence to reveal how these communities upheld their societal ideals - and how some diverged from them in everyday life.
