Lots of use of linguistics here. Lacking this background, makes the chapter on language as a mechanism of control somewhat hard to keep in order in my head. Seems like author repeats himself a lot.

Book mentions how quahog clam shell growth rings are used to determine the position of Calusa people across seasons. Interesting to consider how what amounts to real life meta data can be used to learn about people from the past in the same way that digital meta data is used now. Also neat to consider the interdisciplinary knowledge set coming into play here.
