Prehistoric shell beads on the Georgia coast
The prehistoric peoples living along the Georgia coast fabricated and used shell beads for millennia. Out of a number of mollusk species inhabiting the region, only a few were selected for the fabrication of beads. The knobbed whelk (Busycon carica) was the most common species used, and it represents the most common whelk found in Atlantic coastal waters. The lightning whelk (Busycon sinistrum), the second most common whelk in the region, was occ…
Prehistoric Site Discovery on the Outer Continental Shelf, Gulf of Mexico, United States of America
Remarkable Photographs of Clarence B. Moore’s Expedition to the Ouachita River Valley, Louisiana, 1908–1909
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Clarence Bloomfield Moore spent approximately 30 years visiting, excavating, and reporting on archaeological sites across the southeastern United States. During the latter 25 years of his research, Moore employed the sternwheel steamer Gopher as his primary mode of transportation. From early November 1908 until late April 1909, Moore and the Gopher, along with an experienced excavation tea…
The Bead Maker’s Midden: Evidence of Late Prehistoric Shell Bead Production on Ossabaw Island, Georgia
In 2005, archaeological excavations were undertaken in a single shell midden at a late prehistoric Irene phase (circa A.D. 1380) site on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. The excavations were designed specifically to collect information on the fabrication of shell beads and other shell ornaments. A considerable amount of stone was recovered, almost all of which is petrified wood used specifically in the production of “microdrills” for perforating shell be…

Dating the course of the lower red river in Louisiana: The archaeological evidence
Archaeological data from the lower Red River in Louisiana indicate that the modern course of the river is 1200 years older than previously suggested. Geologists claim a diversion of Red River through Moncla Gap approximately 500 to 1000 years ago. Marksville period occupations dating prior to A.D. 200 are identified at archaeological sites adjacent to the river below Moncla Gap. The position of these sites on Red River levees demonstrate that the…
Rank-Size Distributions and the Analysis of Prehistoric Settlement Systems
Geographers have noted and developed explanations for the regularities observed in the relationship between settlement size and settlement rank. Archaeologists have only recently begun to assess and explain prehistoric settlement data in terms of these rank-size distributions. This paper examines those aspects of the rank-size distribution model which may be useful to prehistorians, and presents an analysis of three sets of archaeological settlem…
