Tracking Mississippian Migrations from the Central Mississippi Valley to the Ridge and Valley with a Unified Absolute Chronology
As regional chronologies become better defined, we are better able to track large-scale population movements and related cultural change. A dataset of 156 radiocarbon dates from the Middle Cumberland Region (MCR), evaluated with 199 more dates from the Ridge and Valley portions of northern Georgia and East Tennessee, enable modeling of population movements from the Central Mississippi Valley into the MCR, as well as subsequent movements and effec…
Mississippian Origins: From Emergence to Beginnings
Nearly a quarter century has passed since Smith’s (1990) seminal volume The Mississippian Emergence was published. That volume, through a set of collected works, was the first to attempt a region-wide synthesis of what was known and thought about Mississippian origins. This introductory chapter contextualizes the work of the contributing authors in several ways. We begin by defining some key terms used throughout the chapters and volume, and then…
Values-Based Management of Archaeological Resources at a Landscape Scale
Public agencies at all levels of government and other organizations that manage archaeological resources often face the problem of many undertakings that collectively impact large numbers of individually significant archaeological resources. Such situations arise when an agency is managing a large area, such as a national forest, land management district, park unit, wildlife refuge, or military installation. These situations also may arise in reg…

What I Believe: Taking Up the Serpents of Social Theory and Southeastern Archaeology
Social theory in Southeastern archaeology is constantly transforming. This generally positive process is nonetheless often fraught with growing pains. A sack of snakes serves as a humorous guise to highlight some of the issues currently being faced with social theory in the Southeast. Each “snake” poses a reality check on contexts of social theory as created by Southeastern archaeologists

A Reassessment of the Chronology of Mound a at Toqua
The Toqua site (40MR6) is one of the most thoroughly excavated Late Mississippian mound sites in East Tennessee. The site has been a focal point of research on late prehistory in southern Appalachia, but there are issues surrounding its chronological placement. The radiometric dates obtained for the site in the 1970s and the archaeomagnetic dates reported in 1999 have large standard deviations. These dates are too imprecise to be useful for a tem…

Mortuary Practices and Cultural Identity at the Turn of the Sixteenth Century in Eastern Tennessee
Mortuary practices can provide insights into ritual and into differentiation across social dimensions such as gender and status. But just as differences in pottery styles may not correlate directly with social boundaries, differences in mortuary practices alone may not reflect difference in cultural identity. This essay examines multiple dimensions of mortuary practices observed at two contemporaneous late Mississippian sites in order to revisit …
Mississippian Mortuary Practices: Beyond Hierarchy and the Representationist Perspective
A richly detailed edited volume that reexamines mortuary practices in light of current anthropological and archaeological theoretical perspectives.--C. Cliff Boyd, Radford UniversityShows that instead of reflecting status, mortuary programs actually use the dead to refract, realign, and repurpose the roles and relations of the living.--Alex W. Barker, University of MissouriThe residents of towns principally located in the southeastern and midwest…
Residential Burial, Gender Roles, and Political Development in Late Prehistoric and Early Cherokee Cultures of the Southern Appalachians
Native people in the southern Appalachians began placing graves in and around residences in the 13thcentury C.E. Burials previously were placed in specialized burial mounds that likely belonged to individual kin groups. For several centuries, the practice of residential burial was contemporaneous with burial in or near public buildings that sometimes were built on platform mounds. During this time, residential versus 'public' burial became relate…
A Dendroarchaeological Approach To Mississippian Culture Occupational History In Eastern Tennessee, U.S.A
We investigated the potential for using long-archived wood samples extracted from archaeological contexts at four Mississippian Period (AD 900–1600) settlements in eastern Tennessee for tree-ring dating purposes. Sixteen wood samples recovered from prehistoric sites were analyzed to: (1) crossmatch samples from each site with the intent of determining the relative chronological order of sites, (2) establish a floating prehistoric tree-ring chrono…
Differential diagnosis of cartilaginous dysplasia and probable Osgood-Schlatter's disease in a Mississippian individual from East Tennessee
This paper details the differential diagnosis of an adult female skeleton displaying features consistent with a cartilaginous dysplasia and Osgood–Schlatter's disease. This burial was excavated in 1940 from a Mississippian platform mound at the DeArmond site (40RE12) in Roane County, Tennessee as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) archaeological investigations. The right humerus and left femur of …
Grit-Tempered: Early Women Archaeologists in the Southeastern United States
A group biography of Southeast archaeology's pioneering women, whose careers spanned the decades between 1920-1960, when many got work as excavators on WPA crews. Inspiring tales of innovative lab work, adventurous fieldwork

Museum Records and the History of Archaeology
One cannot help but think of museums when contemplating the history of archaeology. For those of us who work in museums, contact with past research and former ways of thinking about and doing archaeology happens on almost a daily basis. Not only do museum collections contain the information and things collected by older colleagues, these materials embody the thoughts, theories, methodologies, and techniques of these individuals and of the discipl…
