  • A brief history of modeling Early Holocene landscape use in the American Southeast

    D Shane Miller, A M Smallwood et al.ARTICLESoutheastern Archaeology2023References: 26

    The Early Holocene is a critical period in the American Southeast and represents the time between the end of the Pleistocene and emerging cultural complexity of the Mid-Holocene. Due to the limitations imposed by a relative lack of site preservation, an important avenue of inquiry for understanding this period has been connecting the few reported, well-dated sites with the distribution of surface finds to explore how people organized their mobili…

  • Investigating the Ordinary

    Sarah E Price, Philip J CarrEDITORBOOKInvestigating the Ordinary2018

    Centering the archaeological discussion on the everyday affords a vantage point from which to think about the artifacts and conceptions of the past in new ways. Although not written specifically for the non-archaeological audience, this volume serves as an engaging entry into archaeological thinking through exploration of various times and topics

  • Non-Metric Continuum-Based Flake Analysis

    Andrew P Bradbury, Philip J CarrARTICLELithic Technology2014Cited by: 3References: 11

    Arguably, stone tool production is a continuous process. Most descriptions of lithic assemblages, if it includes discussion of flake debris, divide this continuum into stages. Limited previous work, using experimental and archaeological data, indicates successful assignation of an individual flake within a continuum of reduction. However, reliance on time-consuming, metric attributes has resulted in limited application of such methods to archaeol…

  • Confirmation of an Archaic Period Mound in Southwest Mississippi

    Evan Peacock, Philip J Carr et al.ARTICLESoutheastern Archaeology2010References: 7

    Site 22LI504 is a predominantly Archaic period site in Lincoln County, Mississippi. One of its primary elements of interest is a single conical mound from which small-diameter cores revealed evidence of advanced pedogenesis. A radiocarbon sample from one soil core produced a date suggesting that the mound was Archaic in age (Fulmer 2001); however, it was unclear whether the sample came from within the mound or an underlying midden. In the spring …

  • Raw Material and Retouched Flakes

    Open AccessAndrew P Bradbury, Philip J Carr et al.CHAPTERLithic Technology2008

    Lithic analysts are often criticized for not engaging in theory building and for conducting particularistic studies. Such particularistic studies can be linked to theory through an organization-of-technology approach, which has great promise. However, concepts often employed in the approach, such as curation, need further refinement to become operationalized. One way to accomplish this for flake tools is to develop a method for measuring the amou…

  • Digging Out of Trouble Public Archaeology as Rehabilitation for Juvenile Delinquents

    Open AccessJames Daniel Lee, Philip J Carr et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social Science2007

    This article reports an evaluation of an archaeology project carried out by the University of South Alabama (USA) Center for Archaeological Studies to complement an Intensive Aftercare Program for juvenile delinquents in Mobile, Alabama. The project was an eight-week field school for 14 adjudicated youth. The goals of the project were to teach archaeology, provide job skills, improve pro-social attitudes of delinquents, improve delinquents' attit…

  • Combining Aggregate and Individual Methods of Flake Debris Analysis

    Open AccessAndrew P Bradbury, Philip J CarrARTICLENorth American Archaeologist2004Cited by: 4References: 10

    Numerous approaches are currently employed for the analysis of chipped stone debris. These can generally be classified as aggregate and individual flake based methods. Here, elements of these two analyses are combined to produce a simplified form of analysis that allows useful insights into the technological make-up of flake debris assemblages. Specifically, general size data from aggregate analyses are combined with two attributes recorded on in…
