Horned cattle and pack horses”
In 1689, the governor of La Florida ordered the construction of a fort near the Muscogee (Creek) ancestral community of Apalachicola, supplying it with a caravan of “horned cattle and pack horses.” The fort, referred to as “Spanish Fort,” was abandoned a year later. Archaeological investigations of the fort were carried out in 1960 without sieving, and a large collection of faunal remains was minimally studied. Despite the limitations of the reco…
In Service to a Danish King
New archaeological research inside the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, has uncovered a wealth of cultural resources around the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse that have lasting implications for the largely Afro-Caribbean descendent Crucian community living in St. Croix today. Following a stump removal, exposing the remains of a Danish military stock warehouse containing 3,152 artifac…

An Analysis of Native American/ Colonialist Interaction in the Southeastern United States
The identification and significance of Apalachicola for the origins of the Creek Indians in the Southeastern United States
Apalachicola was a Hitchitee community that was considered the capital of the Creek Nation during the seventeenth and eighteenth century in the Southeastern United States. The role of this community in the formation of the southeastern political and cultural geography is paramount because of their coalescence with emigrant Muscogee people. In this article, I synthesize 10 years of research at the site and clarify the population history of this co…
Analysis of Early-Nineteenth-Century Muscogee Creek Fur Trade at a United States Factory Store
We conducted an analysis of economic transaction records from the Fort Wilkinson Factory Store in central Georgia in an attempt to understand trade behaviors by the Muscogee Creek people of the southeastern United States. Between February 4, 1804, and November 29, 1806, factory personnel recorded 2,168 trade transactions at Fort Wilkinson. During this period, 38,226.5 deerskins and skins, 482 hides and rawhides, and 569 furs entered the fort. In …
Risk Management Among Native American Horticulturalists of the Southeastern United States (1715-1825)
In this paper I review risk management and horticultural production among the Muscogee Creek of southeastern North America (1715–1825) in an attempt to understand decisions about land use. The z-score model and the marginal value theorem are developed, incorporating the effects of population growth among consumers and confounding variables that result from long-term resource consumption. The study calculated the annual productivity of horticultur…
Cultural Continuity and Variable Adaptation of the Historic Period Muscogee of the Southeastern United States
Many researchers of the native people from the southeastern United States have tended to segregate studies of historic period Native Americans from prehistoric period Native Americans because of the assumption that historic period native people were significantly different from their pre-European contact ancestors. This article describes recent archaeological, ethnographic, and historical research on the Muscogee Creek that indicates that they we…
Palynological Evidence of the Effects of the Deerskin Trade on Forest Fires during the Eighteenth Century in Southeastern North America
Three palynological cores from the coastal plain of Georgia and Alabama were analyzed for paleobotanical remains. Results show that the Indians of southeastern North America increased forest fires used in hunting as a response to the demand for deer hides during the early eighteenth century. Palynological data are consistent with known anthropogenic changes in the region. Charcoal abundance increased significantly between A.D. 1715 and 1770, whic…
