Abstract:

As part of North Carolina's 400th anniversary celebration, Governor James G. Martin declared 1986 the “Year of the Native American” in North Carolina. Taylor discusses what archaeologists, like East Carolina University's David Phelps and David Green, are discovering about the Siouan and Algonkian cultures. These tribes flourished in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain but left few obvious signs of their occupation. By the early 1700s, they had been eliminated by European settlement.
