The St. Catherines Island Archaeological Project, now more than 40 years in duration, has provided a wealth of data for addressing questions and hypotheses about native adaptations in the Georgia bight. Owing to the rich archaeological context and robust research design, the project has provided opportunities to document and interpret key developments and adaptive transitions in ways not dreamed of when fieldwork began in 1975. The bioarchaeological arm of the investigation, viewed in its rich...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A consideration of periosteal lesion activity and its effect on the likelihood of survival can communicate a deeper understanding of major cultural-ecological transitions by elucidating the effect of heterogeneous frailty on the formation of a skeletal assemblage. This study tests the effects of Spanish contact on the association between survivorship and...
