Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century salt production in Saltville, Virginia
The geology of the Saltville Valley in southwest Virginia creates a brine with an exceptionally high concentration of sodium chloride (98.7%). Because of this resource, the town of Saltville, Virginia, became the major producer of salt for the Confederacy during the latter half of the Civil War. The wood-fired salt furnaces (as the production facilities were called) produced a maximum of four million bushels of salt from this naturally occurring …

Explaining Mississippian Origins in East Tennessee
Monacans as Moundbuilders
Dunham et al. (2003) propose a connection between Late Woodland accretional burial mounds in central Virginia and the historic Monacan Indians. However, the authors' association of these mounds with the Monacans is not supported by available archaeological or ethnohistoric data
A Multidimensional Investigation of Biocultural Relationships among Three Late Prehistoric Societies in Tennessee
Interrelations among three roughly contemporaneous late prehistoric Mississippian societies in Middle and East Tennessee are reexamined in terms of currently available biological, archaeological, and ethnohistoric data. Previous researchers have suggested a close relation between two of those cultures-Mouse Creek and Middle Cumberland-to the exclusion of the third, Dallas. However, multivariate analyses of craniofacial and mandibular dimensions o…
In Search of Coosa
The recently published reconstruction of Hernando de Soto's route through the southeastern United States, and of the chiefdom of Coosa (Hudson et al. 1985), is critiqued. The researchers' estimates of time traveled by the expedition, their use of certain vague or unreliable sources, and their interpretation of archaeological data are questioned. These problems weaken their claims that their reconstruction is better than the Soto route originally …
