"Louisiana Prehistory" by Robert W. Neuman and Nancy W. Hawkins is an exploration into Louisiana's ancient past, showcasing how different groups of Native Americans lived and adapted over thousands of years, starting as far back as 10,000 B.C. It examines how these people changed from roaming hunters to settled farmers, building big mounds, and trading with far-off communities; highlighting the development of their tools, food habits, and how their societies were organised. The story covers the eras of the Paleo-Indians to the Neo-Indians, with a stronger focus on major groups like the Poverty Point, Tchefuncte, and Caddo Native Americans, showing how their practices and innovations shaped the cultural landscape of Louisiana.
