Mississippian and Piedmont Village Tradition (PVT) communities contemporaneously occupied the North Carolina and Virginia Piedmont and adjacent areas from AD 1100-1600. Discussions of trade and exchange, however, tend to focus on Mississippian political economies. Previous work at PVT sites has identified non-local lithic materials, some moving between Mississippian and PVT areas, suggesting a regional network that included both cultures. Our work focuses on the fourteenth-century Redtail site...

This is an abstract from the "Liquid Landscapes: Recent Developments in Submerged Landscape Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic technological organization (LTO) approaches are used to understand how stone tool making societies provision themselves with regards to raw material in a given environment. How societies provision themselves provides insight into their adaptive strategies for a landscape. 8JE1796, Clint’s Scallop Hole, is a...

J. Whittaker: [Full of useful information on lithics and related topics much beyond the focus on Middle Potomac, but rather incoherently organized and written, and he’s too fond of creating bad new jargon.] Lots of illustrations of varying quality. Major sections on chronology, lithic technology, point typology, flake tools, caches, miscellaneous implements, and experimental archaeology. [Small section on atlatls, not well defined, not very useful information. Illustrates atlatl hook of...

This film on percussion bifacing was never completed (i.e. no sound). Though it roughly follows the ideas which later turned out to be THE BASICS, it is marred by poor visuals and amateurish camera work. I reedited it in 1981, into a 22 minute piece. It was put on videotape by the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, NC and they make it available for research purposes. It’s more a curio than an education. Of special interest, however, may be the fact that a number of the pieces shown in THE BASICS are...

Historical archaeologists often point to the arrival of Europeans in the 17th century as a catalyst for change in aspects of indigenous lifeways.  This is especially true concerning lithic technology, when the metanarrative often describes Native Americans quickly swapping their stone tools for the "superior" metal tools of Europeans.  Recent studies, such as Carly Harmon’s paper, Analyzing Native American Lithic Material Culture from 1600 to 1700 (2012), have challenged such thinking;...

This paper examines placemaking and identity in the Alsatian colonies of Texas. On the eve of Texas statehood, Alsatian migrants settled lands to the west of San Antonio. Displaced or disenfranchised by the turmoil of 19th century Europe, Alsatian families, often farmers, responded to advertisements by empresarios touting free passage, land, and opportunity in a "land of milk and honey." They arrived unprepared for the harsh realities of the Texas landscape, particularly life on the Republic’s...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Mississippian presence in the Upper Tombigbee River (UTR) drainage is represented by dispersed communities and single-mound centers with modest-sized occupations. The artifact sequence for the UTR closely mirrors that of the neighboring Moundville polity and the UTR traditionally has been viewed as having occupations that extended throughout the...

Fort Hollingsworth, erected by the citizens of Cecil County, Maryland, in April 1813 to protect the area from British incursions, was one of a series of small breastworks that protected the upper reaches of the Chesapeake Bay and the ‘back door’ to Philadelphia during the War of 1812. Fort Hollingsworth saw brief action in 1814 and, after the war, was demolished and the land returned to farming. Geophysical survey, exploratory soil borings, and detailed topographic mapping, and focused...

At the household level, analysis of material culture recovered from Caribbean plantation villages has revealed internal groups with differential access to resources. The dynamic economic systems that enslaved people developed necessarily depended on local expectations of labor and subsistence cultivation, as well as Atlantic shifts in commodity prices and political control. Expanding on household studies, I assess marketing strategies between plantation communities by tracing how imported goods...

This collection is referred to as “Little River-Buffalo Creek Special Land Disposal Tract 1983.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection measures twelve (12.0) linear inches. The investigation was originally stored in an acidic cardboard box sealed with tape with other investigations from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, Strom Thurmond Lake subject property. Field and analysis forms, site maps...
