Multiple Scales of Interaction and Tradition in the Early Side-Notched Horizon

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Presented at 71st Annual Southeastern Archaeological Conference

A recent research project documented evidence for social boundaries and intergroup interactions within the Early Side-Notched Horizon. These findings provide additional support for certain models of colonization, regionalization, and settlement for the Southeast. Distinct placeoriented subregional traditions initiated during the late Paleoindian period continued into the Early Archaic, as descendent groups intensified their use of certain resource-rich river drainages while revisiting other locations for the primary purpose of cementing social bonds at a regional scale. Large-scale sharing networks, facilitated by regular cross-drainage mobility, are reflected in the patterned variation within two classes of sidenotched tools made of Coastal Plain chert.
