Podemski, Ph.D., Dean of Graduate Studies Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. John Worth, Dr. Ramie Gougeon, and Dr. Amy Mitchell-Cook for all of the help and insight they have given me. It has been invaluable. I would also like to thank Dr. Elizabeth Benchley, Jan Lloyd, and the Archaeology Institute for giving me the financial resources I needed as well as a place of employment in the field that I love while I completed this program. It has been a wonderful opportunity to gain the experience that I have both in the lab and in the field. I have to thank all the friends and fellow graduate students who have helped me make it through this whole process. Special thanks go to Michelle Pigott, Salina Hebert, Dani Mount, and Jennifer Walborn for all of the words of encouragement and all of the support you have given me when I have needed it. You ladies have meant the world to me, and I could never thank you enough. Finally, I have to thank my family, especially my mother, my father, my brother, and my grandfather, who have put up with me throughout my research and writing. Thank you so much for all the love and support you have shown, not only these past few years, but throughout my life. I do not know what I’d do without you. I certainly would not be where I am and who I am today without each and every one of you. I love you all very much. iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my late grandmother, Margarett Harden. She never failed to support me or be there for me, whatever I needed. Archaeology fascinated her, and she always wanted to discuss what I was doing. I know she would have loved to volunteer for some field work had she been able. This is for her. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iv DEDICATION .....................................................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................................x ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... xi CHAPTER I.
