Southeastern Native American forms of domestic architecture
underwent multiple transitions between the mid-eighteenth to early
nineteenth centuries. In Native American Log Cabins in the
Southeast, Gregory A. Waselkov and ten colleagues track the origins
of Native American cabins, structures that incorporated a range of
features borrowed from indigenous post-in ground building
traditions, Euroamerican horizontal notched-log construction, and
elements introduced by Africans and African Americans. Grounded in
archaeological investigation, their essays illuminate the
distinctive cabin forms developed by various southeastern Native
groups, including the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Catawba
peoples. In a rapidly changing social, economic, and political
landscape at the frontiers of an expansionist United States, the
log cabin, a northern European house form, proved equally adaptable
to the needs of settlers, slaves, and Native peoples. Each found
ways to make log cabins their own. Beneath these deceptively simple
hewn facades, indigenous principles of correctness guided
southeastern Indians' uses of interior cabin space, creations of
raised clay hearths, and maintenance of pits that gave occupants
access to the regenerative properties of the Beneath World. The
chapters in this volume make important contributions toward a
better understanding of houses and households in the Native
Southeast by marshalling new data, methods, and theory to address
an important but understudied phenomenon.
