Two of the most salient anthropological questions regarding southeastern shell ring sites are related to the season(s) that they were occupied and whether or not the deposits represent monumental constructions and/or feasting remains. This paper addresses these questions through the analysis of growth band of clams (Mercenaria spp.) (N = 620) and stable oxygen isotope ratios of clam and oyster shells (Crassostrea virginica) (N = 58) at the Sapelo Island Shell Ring complex located on the Georgia...

In this dissertation, I examine trajectories of cultural evolution among complex hunter-gatherers and middle range societies. Broadly, I consider the theoretical issues related to these two areas of study and how we should conceptualize the study of sociocultural evolution in societies organized at this scale. I apply these ideas to the study of the prehistoric hunter-gatherers who occupied Sapelo Island, Georgia, U. S. A. Specifically, I examine the Archaic period (4200 – 3000 B. P.)...

Aboriginal community structures are documented along the Atlan­ tic coast of southeastern North America in 16th and 17th century narra­ tives (e.g. Garcia 1902; Andrews and Andrews 1945).
