Recent Developments in Paleoindian and Early Archaic Research in North Carolina
Itineraries and networks of the Mission San Joseph de Sapala beads
Exploring the Guale Village and Spanish Mission Occupations at the Sapelo Shell Ring Complex Through Bayesian Analysis
Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates in North American archaeology is increasing, especially among archaeologists working in deeper time. However, historical archaeologists have been slow to embrace these new techniques, and there have been only a few examples of the incorporation of calendar dates as informative priors in Bayesian models in such work in the United States. To illustrate the value of Bayesian approaches to sites with bot…
Early Human Life on the Southeastern Coastal Plain
This book is a compilation of several major archaeological research projects ranging from Pre-Clovis through Early Archaic manifestations covering the Coastal Plain of the Southeastern United States
The Case for Radiocarbon Dating and Bayesian Analysis in Historical Archaeology
An Examination of Terminal Archaic Bone and Antler Implements from the Firehouse Site, Dearborn County, Indiana
The Firehouse site (12D563) is a Terminal Archaic Riverton culture site located on a bluff overlooking the confluence of the Ohio and Great Miami Rivers in Dearborn County, Indiana. Excavations at the site in 2003 and 2004 yielded a highly diverse assemblage of around 300 bone and antler implements. Such large assemblages of organic tools are rare outside of wet sites, rockshelters, and shell middens and provide a unique opportunity for the study…
Early Hunter-Gatherer Tool Use and Animal Exploitation: Protein and Microwear Evidence from the Central Savannah River Valley
Results of protein residue and lithic microwear analyses are reported for Paleoindian and Early Archaic stone tools from a Carolina bay sand rim on the Aiken Plateau of South Carolina, USA. Protein residue analysis is performed using crossover Immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP), and indicates positive results for Bovidae, Cervidae, Galliformes, and Meleagris gallopavo. These results are complemented by a larger immunological study of 135 diagnostic haf…
The Sociality of Surplus among Late Archaic Hunter-Gatherers of Coastal Georgia
Sifting the Sands of Time: Geoarchaeology, Culture Chronology, and Climate Change at Squires Ridge, Northeastern North Carolina
Since 2000, East Carolina University has conducted archaeological research in the Tar River valley in the northern Coastal Plain of North Carolina designed to address poorly understood aspects of the region’s culture-history. In particular, survey and excavation along a portion of the Tar River have focused on problems related to Coastal Plain chronology, typology, and geoarchaeology. Here we provide an overview of testing done at one site, Squir…
Pine Barrens and Possum’s Rations: Early Archaic Settlement in the North Carolina Sandhills
Competing models of Early Archaic settlement in the Southeast propose broad-scale organization conditioned by either lithic raw material availability or seasonal exploitation of biotic resources and social interaction. We offer a view from beyond the quarries and away from the river with data from the North Carolina Sandhills, a unique physiographic zone of the interior Coastal Plain. Analysis of the distribution of Early Archaic sites at Fort Br…
Life among the tides: Recent archaeology on the Georgia Bight : proceedings of the Sixth Caldwell Conference, St. Catherines Island, Georgia, May 20-22, 2011
494 pages : illustrations (some color), maps (some color) ; 26 cm. Conference sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History and the St. Catherines Island Foundation
Animism and Green River persistent places: A dwelling perspective of the Shell Mound Archaic
A nuanced understanding of the western Kentucky Green River Archaic requires reconciling the region's rich archaeological record with the growing literature pertaining to how hunter-gatherers perceive their worlds. A dwelling perspective of the Green River Archaic involves interpreting the region's large middens as components of animated lifeworlds saturated with meaning and composed of numerous constantly maintained relationships among people an…
A Macroscopic Investigation of Technological Style and the Production of Middle to Late Archaic Fishhooks at the Chiggerville, Read, and Baker Sites, Western Kentucky
(2010). A MACROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL STYLE AND THE PRODUCTION OF MIDDLE TO LATE ARCHAIC FISHHOOKS AT THE CHIGGERVILLE, READ, AND BAKER SITES, WESTERN KENTUCKY. Southeastern Archaeology: Vol. 29, No. 1, pp. 197-221
Hickory nuts, bulk processing and the advent of early horticultural economies in eastern North America
Employing a dwelling perspective, this paper reinterprets the adoption of horticulture during the terminal Late Archaic in eastern North America as an unintended consequence of changing human-animal-plant relations and the invention of bulk processing techniques during the Middle and Late Archaic. The incorporation of immobile plant and animal species into the lifeworlds of Archaic individuals by 7000 bp was part of a dynamic series of changes th…
Paleoindian and Early Archaic Organic Technologies: A Review and Analysis
A literature review indicates that many Paleoindian and Early Archaic bone, antler, and ivory implements have been recovered from sites across North America. Unfortunately, few of these early organic objects have been described with the detail necessary for comparative analyses of tool functions and manufacturing trajectories. This article represents an attempt to stimulate the reporting of such detailed microtrace data by presenting the results …
Raw Material Utilization in Carroll County, Indiana: A Small-scale Analysis of Diachronic Patterns in the Usage of Attica, Kenneth, and Wyandotte Cherts
This paper presents an analysis of a small sample (n = 360) of diagnostic hafted bifaces from southern Carroll County, Indiana. Placed within a regional framework and rooted in hunter-gatherer theory, the results of this analysis offer some important insights into diachronic patterns of chert utilization in this region. Although the usage of Attica, Kenneth, and Wyandotte cherts is the specific subject of this study, other chert types are also di…
The Law Society of Upper Canada and Ontario's Lawyers, 1797-1997
It is an authoritative and lively history of the Law Society of Upper Canada and of Ontario's lawyers, from the founding of the Society by ten lawyers in 1797, to the crises which shook the society and the legal profession in the mid-1990s
