The two works reprinted in this volume represent the pinnacle of the career of one of the most remarkable American archaeologists of the early 20th century, Clarence Bloomfield Moore. Moores Certain Aboriginal Remains of the Black Warrior River (1905) and Moundville Revisited (1907) brought the Moundville site in Alabama to the attention of the scholarly world in dramatic fashion by offering a splendid photographic display and expert commentary on its artifactual richness. Moore was the leading southeastern specialist of his day and the most prolific excavator of southern sites during the early part of the 20th century. Today Moore gives the impression of having been everywhere, having excavated everything, and having published on all of it. Moundville Expeditions contains facsimile reprints of these two classic works, along with a new scholarly introduction by one of the leading authorities on the Moundville archaeological site. Once again these rare materials on Moundville are available both for scholars and for a general audience.

Preface
The notion to reprint the classic Moore volumes on southeastern archaeology has been, without doubt, lurking just beneath the surface for some time. How could it not? After nearly a century the originals are now scarce and expensive, if copies can be found at all. So it has gradually occurred to someI first heard it mentioned by Jerald Milanichthat a republication would help to bring a new generation of enthusiasts of southeastern prehistoric art and archaeology face to face with Moore's fascinating and lavishly illustrated works.
About forty years ago, Professor Stephen Williams tells us, a remaindered stock of Moore volumes could still be had free of charge from the publisher, the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Philadelphia. And more recently, during my own college years in the early 1970s, there were second-hand copies yet to be had, even within reach of a student. A favored source was the venerable Mrs. Lazarus at the Fort Walton Indian Mound Museum. Heaven only knows where she got them, but she managed to find copies of Moore volumes, which she would part with for 25 or 35 dollars. Several of my fellow studentsthose really intent on building up their libraries picked up individual issues or even sets in this manner. As attractive as it seemed, however, this cost was still almost half a week's take home pay at the time, and I did not take advantage. Over the ensuing years these same volumes have become truly scarce among book dealers, and the prices have soared commensurately. Now, after all, it appears that I may yet see the day when a set of Moore volumes graces my personal library.
