The arrival of Spanish missionaries on the Georgia and Florida coasts in the mid-16th century began what is known as the Mission period (1568-1684), a time of sustained interaction between the Spanish and many coastal Indian polities. At the time of Spanish contact, much of the central and northern Georgia coast was occupied by Muskogean-speaking people known as the Guale (Worth 2004a). Sapelo Island, one of the Georgia "barrier" islands, is the site of at least one Spanish mission, the...

In 2004, University of Kentucky archaeologists started a new research project designed to assess the nature, intensity, and extent of Mission period activity in and around Shell Ring II in the northern portion of the Sapelo Shell Ring complex (9Mc23) (Jefferies and Thompson 2005) (Figure 3). We have employed a diversified data recovery strategy incorporating geophysical survey, shovel probing, soil auguring, metal detector survey, and test unit excavation (Jefferies and Moore 2009).

One hundred and five archaeological sites were located and recorded within the area of the proposed Cooper Reservoir, Texas. Sites occur in six topographic situations and are further divided into two time periods, the Archaic and Caddo. Analysis of lithic samples from each site is correlated with site distribution in an attempt to determine the location of specific maintenance activities. A research design is proposed for the salvaging of the archaeological resources of the reservoir area prior...
