A Review of Cape Cod Archaeology (1957)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Ross Moffett.

Although Indian artifacts in large numbers have been found on Cape Cod, information on the circumstance and chronological order attending the original distribution of these artifacts is somewhat limited and uneven. Little evidence is available from excavations on the upper or east-west part of the Cape, save for one report dealing with a series of relatively late shell heaps. The lower or north-south portion of the peninsula, however, is fairly adequately known. This paper is based, therefore,...

The Wilbanks site, 9CK-5 in the nomenclature of the River Basin Surveys, Smithsonian Institution, is located on the flat bottom lands of the Etowah River in north Georgia. As this river is in the foothills of the Appalachians, it flows in a southwest-northeast direction, following the line of the ridges and valleys, rather than flowing north and south as do most of the rivers in Georgia. At Rome, near the Alabama border, the Etowah joins the Oostanaula to form the Coosa, and eventually empties...


River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 13: Historic Sites in and Around the Jim Woodruff Reservoir Area, Florida-Georgia (1958)

"Rugged" is not a term that with strict propriety can be applied to Florida topography, but if understood to be used in a relative sense it may be said that the terrain...
