Investigating Interaction from Tunnacunnhee to Talaje: Papers in Honor of Richard W. Jefferies
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
Spanning the Middle Archaic to the Mission periods, the wide-ranging work and research of Richard W. Jefferies is united by a common theme of interaction. From the study of bone pins among hunter-gatherer groups throughout eastern North America to his work on the Spanish missions of San Jose de Sapala and Santo Domingo de Asao/Talaje, a core theme of Jefferies’s work has been the examination of how individuals and groups engaged with one another through material culture and what that meant for larger cultural processes. In particular Jefferies’s study of carved bone pins was foundational in that it took a neglected artifact category and used it as a proxy to examine regional questions of interaction at multiple scales. Papers in this session take as their inspiration the work of Richard W. Jefferies and engage with the theme of interaction across the Eastern Woodlands.
