Klappentext

This experimental archaeology book centers on Michigan's Late Woodland and Indigenous women's common practice of storing food in cache pits for later use, to ensure a stable food supply. These food storage techniques were direct responses to sociopolitical changes at the time, to increase communal chances of survival. Kathryn M. Frederick highlights the importance of food storage in these types of communities and the decision-making and behaviors behind it.
