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...

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. When Sapelo was visited in 1687, only burned remnants of a ruined Spanish mission and fort were noted by English travelers. 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,...

Field Work Proposal 2006

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Rachel Black

High Point presents and intriguing archaeological challenge. Although it is documented as a location for one of the earliest historic occupations on the Island, only the (presumably) postbellum features have been recorded there. In an effort to obtain a clearer picture of the entire history of the site, the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Geography at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) proposes to conduct a modified systematic survey at High Point of screened half-meter...

The coastal zone of Georgia is comprised of barrier islands, back barriers (hammocks or marsh islands) portions of the mainland coast, salt marsh-lagoon systems, tidal creeks, brackish water marshes, river channels, and maritime forest communities (Elliott and Sassaman 1995:7) (Figure 1). Native Americans inhabited the Georgia coastal zone for over 4500 years and they experienced changes in sea level and their concomitant effect on resource distribution. For over a century (e.g., Moore...
