About this book
Poverty Point: A Culture of the Lower Mississippi Valley is a book by Jon L. Gibson. A short note says the text discusses where these people lived, what they ate and how they made their tools, and that it also attempts to reconstruct their social organization and government. The introduction says that until a few years ago Poverty Point culture was a major archaeological mystery, centered around the ruins of a large, prehistoric Indian settlement, the Poverty Point site in northeastern Louisiana.
The text says foods were prepared with a variety of implements, and that battered rocks, pitted stones, and mortars might have served to pound nuts, acorns, and seeds into flour and oil. Meat could have been cut up with the aid of heavy chipped bifaces, the text says. Some artifacts might have been real hoes used to till gardens, but in view of the total absence of domesticated plant remains from Poverty Point sites, the text calls this function unconfirmed.
