- More about The Real Mound Builders of North America: A Critical Realist Prehistory of the Eastern Woodlands, 200 BC–1450 AD
The Real Mound Builders of North America suggests that Late Woodland communities were the ancestors of the Mississippian ceremonial assemblage, with little change in their social structures and cultural traditions. This contrasts with the current evolutionary view that emphasizes abrupt discontinuities with the Hopewellian assemblage.

The Real Mound Builders of North America presents a standard position that the cultural communities of the Late Woodland period hiatus, characterized by a lack of transregional monumental mound building and ceremonialism, were the direct ancestors of the communities responsible for the monumental earthworks of the Mississippian ceremonial assemblage. Byers contends that these communities maintained their essential social structures and cultural traditions while exhibiting variations in their ceremonial practices and associated sodality organizations, which reflected their deep structures. This perspective contrasts with the prevailing evolutionary view that emphasizes abrupt social and cultural discontinuities with the Hopewellian ceremonial assemblage and earthworks, mounds, and embankments.
