Expanded six-fold, well cited thoughout, neutral, &c. AGF for offline source of hook. Ready to speak softly and go far. Moonraker (talk) 16:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Actually, Google Books has this part (and I mangled the quote slightly by leaving off the "s" at the end of "achievement.") Fixed now. Linked now, in the cite, in the article. Mea culpa. I'm very glad you mentioned that. Alanscottwalker (talk) 21:46, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

- Does studied work better? Alanscottwalker (talk) 13:49, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Also, we could change out civilization for society, as that's the sense it is being used in this hook. The quote refers to the Marajoara culture (an rather undeveloped article). Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

- ALT1 ... that archeologist Anna Curtenius Roosevelt, the great-grandaughter of Theodore Roosevelt, described a pre-Columbian civilization she studied in Brazil as having had "outstanding indigenous cultural achievements"?
