The Tennessee, Green, and Lower Ohio Rivers Expeditions of Clarence Bloomfield Moore by Clarence Bloomfield Moore, edited by Richard R. Polhemus (Classics in Southeastern Archaeology: University of Alabama Press) Clarence Bloomfield Moore (1852-1936) reached the northern limit of his archaeo­logical endeavors in the work along the Tennessee, the Green, and the Lower Ohio rivers reprinted in this volume of Classics in Southeastern Archaeology.

While many of the sites reported by Clarence B. Moore cannot be positively identified at the present, an attempt is made to correlate as many sites as possible with current site numbers, published excava­tion reports, and unpublished excavation records.
