The In-Crowd: Implications of Notable Village Features at 44CH62 – the Randy K. Wade Site
Author(s): Brian Bates; Mary Farrell
Year: 2016
Summary
Located in the southern region of the Virginia Piedmont, the Late Woodland Randy K. Wade site (44CH62) was initially identified as a community influenced by Tidewater culture groups. In recent years, the discovery and analysis of a boundary ditch feature, fence line, and three large central post features have impacted the interpretation of the site. It is now believed that the Wade Site exhibits characteristics influenced by Mississippian culture groups in addition to a Tidewater influence. This poster investigates the archaeological evidence that indicates a conscious choice by the Wade site’s prehistoric occupants to integrate two different cultures in their village layout and material culture.
