The definitive book on what is known about the Late Pleistocene and
Early Holocene archaeological record in the Southeast The 1996
benchmark volume The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast,
edited by David G. Anderson and Kenneth E. Sassaman, was the first
study to summarize what was known of the peoples who lived in the
Southeast when ice sheets covered the northern part of the
continent and mammals such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and
ground sloths roamed the landscape. The American Southeast at the
End of the Ice Age provides an updated, definitive synthesis of
current archaeological research gleaned from an array of experts in
the region. It is organized in three parts: state records, the
regional perspective, and reflections and future directions.
Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of
the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool
technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology,
hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction
of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of
demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the
ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections
and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational
community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations
for future research round out the volume.
