Bringing together major archaeological research projects from
Virginia to Alabama, this volume explores the rich prehistory of
the Southeastern Coastal Plain. Beginning 50,000 years ago,
contributors consider how the region's warm weather, abundant
water, and geography have long been optimal for the habitation of
people. They highlight demographic changes and cultural connections
across this wide span of time and space. New data are provided here
for many sites, including evidence for human settlement before the
Clovis period at the famous Topper site in South Carolina.
Contributors track the progression of sea level rise that gradually
submerged shorelines and landscapes, and they discuss the
possibility of a comet collision that triggered the Younger Dryas
cold reversion and contributed to the extinction of mammoths and
mastodons. Essays also examine the various stone materials used by
prehistoric foragers, the location of chert quarries, and the
details stone tools reveal about social interaction and mobility.
Addressing many controversial questions in the archaeology of the
early Southeast, this volume adds new evidence to the ongoing
discussions and debates.
