Description
Through a study of the specialized art forms of the Southeastern
Ceremonial Complex, and an investigation of the settlement patterns
in which this Complex occurred, hypothetical reconstructions of
certain Late Mississippian social and religious systems have been
presented. It seems highly probable that this ceremonial material
formed the ritual paraphernalia of the controlling dignitaries
within a Cult organization which functioned as a state religion in
widely separated cultural areas. Although dependent upon an agricultural
base and, consequently, related to fertility ceremonies,
the Complex was mainly oriented towards offensive warfare and
expansion through conquest.

Description
"Bingo" and Other Stories is a collection of short stories whose individual primary characters are forced to make profound changes in the wake of a discovery that comes about as a result of a tragedy or strained personal relationship or a combination of both. This collection is multigenerational in its collective scope and it reflects influences that come from the African-American and Southern literary traditions. In addition, it uses realism to create the settings for and sensibilities of the characters who populate the stories. Stories in the collection are also connected in how they conjure up various geographical locations in Florida, especially regions of Florida that identify with the traditional American South.
