The book "Prehistoric Exchange Systems in North America" offers a comprehensive analysis of the economic structures of trade in North America over a period of 6,000 years. In this unique volume, archaeologists examine the development of trade, organized by geographical and chronological criteria. Each chapter focuses on trade in one of the nine regions, starting from the Archaic period to the late prehistoric period. The contributions illuminate neighboring areas to highlight the complexity of North American exchange. By mapping the economic structures of these regions, archaeologists, economic anthropologists, and economic geographers gain deeper insights into the dynamics of trade and exchange on a continental scale.
