Drawing on ceramic analysis\u003cbr\u003etechniques, Jenkins argues that this time of transformative change, often\u003cbr\u003einterpreted as a societal collapse, instead should be seen as a purposeful\u003cbr\u003eshift brought about by emerging social movements.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning around 650 CE, the\u003cbr\u003eregion's Indigenous inhabitants dispersed from civic-ceremonial centers, moved\u003cbr\u003eaway from places associated with the dead, changed their burial practices, and adopted\u003cbr\u003enew pottery surface treatments and designs. Examining ceramic vessels from 12\u003cbr\u003esites located on islands near the present-day town of Cedar Key, Jenkins\u003cbr\u003ecatalogs these shifts. Jenkins explores how people shared social identities\u003cbr\u003ethat connected them through relational networks and laid the foundation for\u003cbr\u003ethese changes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Archaeology of Woodland Transformation \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to synthesize information on the villages, \u003cbr\u003enetworks, and identities of this time and place.
