Críticas:

"Coe's well-written work explores prehistoric settlement at Town Creek, a well-known North Carolina archaeological site. Coe, a distinguished North American archaeologist, presents a highly personal and engrossing account of his 50-year professional association with the site."--"Choice" "This beautiful and historically significant volume reveals the inside story of a fascinating archaeological site that attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year."--"North Carolina Libraries" "Joffre Coe's "Town Creek Indian Mound" monograph joins a very select group of 'must-have' volumes for all Eastern archaeologists. It represents a very significant monument both to the prehistoric Indian builders of the site and to the master excavator who brought it to light."--Stephen Williams, Harvard University "Joffre Lanning Coe has devoted nearly six decades of his distinguished career to saving Town Creek Indian Mound and unfolding its fascinating story. This book is not only the culmination of an astonishing life's work, but also a vital piece of our past of the first importance. Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually, and this book helps us understand why."--William S. Price Jr., North Carolina Division of Archives and History
