Despite the advances made in archaeology over the past generation,
the Northeast remains the most misunderstood of all the
archaeological regions of North America. With a complex
environmental history shaped by ice sheets from the last
glaciation, and highly acidic soils characteristic of the area, the
kinds of organic artifacts found in other areas have been destroyed
in the Northeast. The result is a sometimes evasive, particularly
complicated, and always fragmentary archaeological record. As the
chapters in this volume demonstrate, the Northeast is a region that
inspires the development of innovative research designs and
thoughtful and relevant questions. Each author has been a graduate
student of Dena Dincauze, who has done much to foster understanding
of the prehistory of Northeastern North America.
