A river runs through it”
Papers in this special thematic issue of Southeastern Archaeology consider threats posed to archaeological sites in the Mississippi River Delta in southeastern Louisiana, and they discuss archaeological finds at select sites in the region. Archaeological sites and larger landscapes in this region are indeed affected by several ongoing processes, including sea-level rise, coastal subsidence, fragmentation of wetlands, trends in the frequency and s…

Fear the Native woman
Native women in Indigenous-Western colonial entanglements are often portrayed as passive agents with little transformative social power in an otherwise dynamic landscape. However, Native women throughout the European colonial world many times controlled the most important resource required by European colonists: the knowledge and materials necessary to transform raw materials into "food." Their control over this invaluable resource provided Nativ…
Finding Archaeological Relevance during a Pandemic and What Comes After
This article emerged as the human species collectively have been experiencing the worst global pandemic in a century. With a long view of the ecological, economic, social, and political factors that promote the emergence and spread of infectious disease, archaeologists are well positioned to examine the antecedents of the present crisis. In this article, we bring together a variety of perspectives on the issues surrounding the emergence, spread, …

Hawaii’s Past in a World of Pacific Islands
Living off the Land”
Indigenous peoples of the United States tend to experience the most severe social, behavioral, and physical health disparities of any ethnic minority. This critical ethnography uses the framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence to examine indigenous peoples' perspectives on and experiences with subsistence living, investigating how subsistence living may contribute to well-being and resilience by promoting physical exercis…
A Road to Zacatecas
From 1565 to 1570, Spain established no fewer than three networks of presidios (fortified military settlements) across portions of its frontier territories in La Florida and New Spain. Juan Pardo's network of six forts, extending from the Atlantic coast over the Appalachian Mountains, was the least successful of these presidio systems, lasting only from late 1566 to early 1568. The failure of Pardo's defensive network has long been attributed to …
Spaces of Entanglement
Fort San Juan and the Limits of Empire
This private face of the Spaniard/Indian encounter is revealed through excavated features containing the remains of daily life at Cuenca, while its extraordinarily well-preserved buildings reveal much about relations between Indians and Spaniards and how these relations changed over the course of 18 months.
The Politics of Provisioning
Beginning with Kathleen Deagan's description of the St. Augustine Pattern, in which domestic relations between Spanish men and Native American women contributed to a pattern of mestizaje in Spanish colonies, gender has assumed a central role in archaeological perspectives on colonial encounters. This is especially true for those encounters that accompanied colonialism in the Americas during the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Gender r…
Mortuary Patterns and Community History at the Chauga Mound and Village Site, Oconee County, South Carolina
The Chauga mound and village site (38OC47) in Oconee County, South Carolina, is the location of a late prehistoric Mississippian town and the probable location of the eighteenth-century Lower Cherokee town of the same name. After brief explorations of Chauga by John Rogan, Joseph Caldwell, and Carl Miller, excavations were conducted at the site in 1958 and 1959 by the University of Georgia, under contract with the National Park Service, in advanc…
Center Places and Cherokee Towns
Cherokee Towns and Calumet Ceremonialism in Eastern North America
Calumet ceremonialism was widely practiced by Native American and European colonial groups in the Great Plains and Southeast during the late seventeenth century and the early eighteenth century. Cultural practices associated with smoking calumet pipes have roots in the prehistoric past, but the spread of calumet ceremonialism across the Southeast was associated with the spread of European colonists and colonialism. Calumet ceremonialism served th…
Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric Shell Gorgets From Southwestern North Carolina
Written versions of Cherokee myths, recorded in the late nineteenth century, refer to earthen mounds, rattlesnakes and raptors, and other aspects of Cherokee cosmology. These themes are manifested in the iconography of engraved shell gorgets and masks from late prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Cherokee town areas of southwestern North Carolina. Comparable iconography is seen on gorgets and masks from surrounding areas of the southern Appala…
Cherokee Townhouses
Public structures known as townhouses were hubs of public life in Cherokee towns in the southern Appalachians during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries A.D., and in towns predating European contact. Townhouses were sources of cultural stability and conservatism during periods of dramatic change, and they were an architectural medium through which Cherokee towns adapted to life in the postcontact Southeast. This article summarizes the charac…
Mortuary practices, gender ideology, and the Cherokee town at the Coweeta Creek site
South Appalachian Mississippian and Protohistoric Mortuary Practices in Southwestern North Carolina
Mississippian societies of southwestern North Carolina are generally thought to have been less centralized and less hierarchical than their counterparts elsewhere in the Southeast. This paper compares and contrasts mortuary patterns at the Warren Wilson, Garden Creek, and Coweeta Creek sites to reconstruct patterns of social and spatial differentiation within late prehistoric and protohistoric communities in southwestern North Carolina. These sit…
Architectural Symbolism and Cherokee Townhouses
Public structures known as townhouses were hubs of public life within Cherokee communities in the southern Appalachians before and after European contact. Townhouses themselves were architectural manifestations of Cherokee towns. The architectural symbolism of townhouses was related to the symbolism of late precontact Mississippian platform mounds, mythical connections between earthen mounds and Cherokee townhouses, and color symbolism that was w…
Residential Burial, Gender Roles, and Political Development in Late Prehistoric and Early Cherokee Cultures of the Southern Appalachians
Native people in the southern Appalachians began placing graves in and around residences in the 13thcentury C.E. Burials previously were placed in specialized burial mounds that likely belonged to individual kin groups. For several centuries, the practice of residential burial was contemporaneous with burial in or near public buildings that sometimes were built on platform mounds. During this time, residential versus 'public' burial became relate…
Place, Landscape, and Environment
Topics of current interest to anthropological archaeologists include the relationships between people and place, interactions between people and past environments, and responses by past societies to changes in the natural environment. In this article, I focus on recent considerations of past landscapes and the built environment. This research concentrates on such topics as architecture, the utilization of different environmental zones, and transi…
The Archaeology of Everyday Life at Early Moundville
Mounds, Myths, and Cherokee Townhouses in Southwestern North Carolina
This paper explores the role of public architecture in anchoring Cherokee communities to particular points within the southern Appalachian landscape in the wake of European contact in North America. Documentary evidence about Cherokee public structures known as townhouses demonstrates that they were settings for a variety of events related to public life in Cherokee towns, and that there were a variety of symbolic meanings associated with them.
