Descrição: The introduction by Eubanks and Dumas establishes the book's intention and scope, providing an overview of salt in human history and a brief summary of the abundance and diversity of studies devoted to it. In northwest Louisiana, Eubanks (Chapter 9) finds no evidence for Caddo salt production before AD 1600 and concludes that this area did not become a major salt source until the eighteenth century, when exploitation of high-quality springs was required for curing hides and preserving meat. Coverage of the Caddo and southwest Alabama areas is notable for its clear presentation of chronology, technology, and the development and changes that occurred in salt production from the advent of maize agriculture by Native Americans until white settler colonists established industrial-level extraction.
