QUESTIONING COMPLEXITY: THE PREHISTORIC HUNTER-GATHERERS OF SAPELO ISLAND, GEORGIA (2006)
In this dissertation, I examine trajectories of cultural evolution among complex hunter-gatherers and middle range societies. Broadly, I consider the theoretical issues related to these two areas of study and how we should conceptualize the study of sociocultural evolution in societies organized at this scale. I apply these ideas to the study of the prehistoric hunter-gatherers who occupied Sapelo Island, Georgia, U. S. A. Specifically, I examine the Archaic period (4200 – 3000 B. P.)...

THE SAPELO SHELL RING COMPLEX: SHALLOW GEOPHYSICS ON A GEORGIA SEA ISLAND (2004)
The Sapelo Shell Ring complex, located on Sapelo Island, Georgia, consists of three large circular shell mounds and numerous smaller amorphous shell middens. Today, one of the rings is highly visible; however, the two other rings and the nonring middens have little surface relief and are virtually invisible. In fact, the location and very existence of the two other rings has been debated for some time. Recent geophysical survey, however, has located the subsurface remains of the two...

Sapelo Island during the Spanish Colonial Era (2011)
Archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence reveals that at the dawn of the Spanish colonial era in the 16th century, Sapelo Island was home to hundreds of indigenous Guale Indians.

The intervening decades had witnessed Spanish missionaries and soldiers, Guale refugees, English pirates, and immigrant Yamasee Indians. By the 18th century, Sapelo was totally depopulated,...
