Big Data and Late Pleistocene / Early Holocene Landscape Use in the American Southeast

Summary

This is an abstract from the "*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The early record of the American Southeast is best characterized as consisting of relatively few stratified, dated sites, yet an abundant surface record. In this paper, we discuss the pioneering work of David Anderson, who has spent a career cobbling together large datasets from academia, cultural resource management, and avocational archaeologists to address “big questions” in novel ways. Finally, we discuss how his research, mentorship, and collaboration has influenced a subsequent generation of research on the early archaeological record of the region.
