  • Regional Archaeology and Local Interests in Coixtlahuaca, Oaxaca

    Open AccessA Kowalewski, Stefan P Brannan et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2017Cited by: 8References: 22

    The Recorrido Arqueológico de Coixtlahuaca (RAC) presents period-by-period settlement pattern maps for the valley of Coixtlahuaca in the northern Mixteca Alta. The RAC project made improvements in full-coverage survey methods. We identify limitations and suggest that similar projects in the future need to resolve several management and budget problems. The survey revealed two periods of heavy occupation, 700-300 BC and AD 1200-1520, separated by …

  • Where Were All of the Coastally Adapted People During the Middle Archaic Period in Georgia, USA

    A dramatic increase in the number of sites, compared to previous periods, has been noted for the Late Archaic (4200–3100 BP) period on the Georgia coast. This presumably larger and more sedentary population has been attributed to sea-level rise and the establishment of the marsh-estuarine system and its resources. To assess this idea, and to understand the conditions prior to the explosion of Late Archaic sites on the coast, a model of sea-level …

  • Island Archaeology and the Native American Economies (2500 B.C.–A.D. 1700) of the Georgia Coast

    Victor D Thompson, John A TurckARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2010

    Our research along the Georgia coast of the southeastern United States explores the role that small islands played in Native American economies over some 4000 years (ca. 2500 B.C.–A.D. 1700). Most archaeological research in the region has concentrated on large barrier islands that front the Atlantic Ocean. Less understood are the much smaller back-barrier islands, also called marsh islands, located in the inter-tidal environment. Our survey of fo…

  • Adaptive Cycles of Coastal Hunter-Gatherers

    Open AccessVictor D Thompson, John A TurckARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2009Cited by: 17References: 37

    Along the southeastern Atlantic coast of Georgia, hunter-gatherer groups substantially altered the landscape for more than three millennia (ca. 4,200-1,000 B.P.) leaving behind a distinct material record in the form of shell rings, middens, and burial mounds. During this time, these groups experienced major changes in sea level and resource distribution. Specifically, we take a resilience theory approach to address these changes and discuss the u…
