Cultural Corridors in South Central Pennsylvania

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

A recent cultural resource management project located in south central Pennsylvania's Path Valley identified a series of five sites oriented around one of the waterways forming the headwaters of the Potomac River Drainage. Background research and local informants indicate that a network of small- to medium-sized pre-contact sites can be found along the streams leading south, ultimately to the Potomac River. Data from these extreme upper Potomac Drainage sites are well positioned to test Herbstritt's (2015) "Cultural Corridor" hypotheses regarding the nature interactions between Susquehanna oriented societies and those centered in the Potomac River basin.
