Lowery Chesapeake Bay Watershed Archaeological Research Foundation 5264 Blackwalnut Point Road, P.O. Box 180 Tilghman, MD 21671 2003 ii ABSTRACT This report summarizes the results of an archaeological survey conducted along the Atlantic shorelines of both Accomack County and Northampton County, Virginia. Accomack and Northampton Counties represent the southernmost extension of the Delmarva Peninsula. The study area encompasses all of the lands adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and shorelines associated with the back barrier island bays. A shoreline survey was conducted along the Atlantic Ocean to gauge the erosion threat to the archaeological resources situated along the shoreline. Archaeological sites along shorelines are subjected to numerous natural processes which hinder site visibility and limit archaeological interpretations. Summaries of these natural processes are presented in this report. The primary goal of the project was to locate, identify, and record any archaeological sites or remains along the Atlantic seashore that are threatened by shoreline erosion. The project also served as a test of a prehistoric site predictive/settlement model that has been utilized during other archaeological surveys along the Chesapeake Bay shorelines and within the interior sections of the Delmarva Peninsula. The prehistoric site predictive/settlement model is presented in detail using archaeological examples from Maryland and Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

    ADDENDUM I: A GUIDE TO RESEARCH PAPERS IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NORTH CAROLINA ON FILE WITH THE ARCHAEOLOGY BRANCH OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY Thomas H. Hargrove Compiler NORTH CAROLINA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COUNCIL PUBLICATION NUl{BER 14 Published Jointly by the North Carolina Archaeological Council and the Archaeology Branch Division of Archives and History North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Raleigh, 1981 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 1 AUTHOR INDEX 3 INDEX 65 CONTRIBUTING INSTITUTIONS 71 ii Introduction In 1980 the North Carolina Archaeological Council published a bibliography of archaeological papers on file with one of its member institutions. Appearing as Publication 13 in the Council Series, "A guide to research papers in the archaeology of North Carolina on file with the Archaeology Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History" provided a list of 661 works to those involved with archaeological research or resource management. Most of these works, which cover archaeological projects throughout the state, were unpublished. Since the publication of that bibliography, the Archaeology Branch's file of dissertations, theses, articles, and contract reports on archaeology has grown. In addition, many of the major sources of published archaeological works in North Carolina have been indexed for use in environmental review at the branch. As a result, the number of additional references has led to the compilation of a second bibliography. As in the first bibliography, the works l1sted here represent a wide variety of research interests, techniques, formats, and purposes. The geographical focus varies from excavations of single structures or surveys of one-acre plots of land to overviews of physiographic regions that include one-third of the state.
  • MIDDLE WOODLAND FISHING METHODS at the BLUE WATER BRIDGE SOUTH SITE (Afho-7)

    MIDDLE WOODLAND FISHING METHODS at the BLUE WATER BRIDGE SOUTH SITE (Afho-7)

    MIDDLE WOODLAND FISHING METHODS AT THE BLUE WATER BRIDGE SOUTH SITE (AfHo-7) By Shari L. Prowse MA Abstract This thesis examines the fishing methods used by the pre-contact Native inhabitants of the Blue Water Bridge South site (AfHo-7) through ethnographic and archaeological research, the fish fauna remains and the fishing related artifacts excavated from the site. From these lines of evidence it was determined that spring spawning fish species such as lake sturgeon and walleye were being harvested with the use of harpoons and spears for the former, and fish nets and leisters for the latter. Evidence also strongly suggests the existence of an intensive summer fishery that used nets for the capture of spawning freshwater drum as well as a spring and summer opportunistic fishery that employed fish- hooks and nets. This site was inferred to have followed a spring early-summer macroband settlement pattern with perhaps a minor fall occupation that may have involved fishing for spawning lake whitefish. Based on the overall pattern of settlement and subsistence inferred for the Blue Water Bridge South site and comparisons with other Middle Woodland sites within the central Great Lakes region, it was concluded that the Middle Woodland pattern of settlement and subsistence was highly variable and influenced by both environmental variables and human choice. Chapter 1 Introduction Statement of Goal of Study The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the fishing methods employed by the Native peoples at the Blue Water Bridge South (AfHo-7) site, and by extension, other Middle Woodland peoples. Data will be derived from the fish remains and fishing related artifacts excavated from the Blue Water Bridge South site and will be interpreted in light of information obtained from ethnographic and ethnohistoric sources, archaeological fish research, and fish biology and behaviour.

Lee Lyman Michael D. Glascock DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to Dr. Janet Rafferty for teaching me the meaning of dedication and for helping me to always see the bigger picture. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation represents the conclusion of my 14-year academic career. Countless individuals have contributed to this journey and I thank them all. My formative undergraduate years at Mississippi State University were spent under the mentorship of a number of dedicated professors including Janet Rafferty, Evan Peacock, Homes Hogue, Jimmy Hardin, Joe Seger, and Paul Jacobs. All of these individuals played critically important roles in my development as an archaeologist. During my time at the University of Missouri I had the great luck to study with a group of individuals whose work I had long admired. I thank my dissertation committee, Michael O’Brien, Karthik Panchanathan, Lee Lyman, and Michael Glascock, for their encouragement and guidance in navigating this long and stressful process.

    Revisiting Platform Mounds and Townhouses in the Cherokee Heartland: a Collaborative Approach

    REVISITING PLATFORM MOUNDS AND TOWNHOUSES IN THE CHEROKEE HEARTLAND: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH BENJAMIN A. STEERE Department of Anthropology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, USA This article describes the development and initial results of the Western North Carolina Mounds and Towns Project, a collaborative endeavor initiated by the Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Eastern Band of Cherokee and the Coweeta Long Term Ecological Research Program at the University of Georgia. The goal of this project is to generate new information about the distribution of late prehistoric mounds and historic period townhouses in western North Carolina. This ongoing research has produced updated location and chronological data for Mis- sissippian period mounds and historic Cherokee townhouses, and led to the discovery of a possible location for the Jasper Allen mound. Using these new data, I suggest that David Hally’s model for the territorial size of Mississip- pian polities provides a useful framework for generating new research questions about social and political change in western North Carolina. I also posit that the cultural practice of rebuilding townhouses in place and on top of Mis- sissippian period platform mounds, a process that Christopher Rodning describes as “emplacement,” was common across western North Carolina. In terms of broader impacts, this project contributes positively to the development of indigenous archaeology in the Cherokee heartland.
