Abstract:
An examination of the region’s geographical aspects that encouraged the archaeological developments of residing Native Americans intended to interpret the sedimentary processes of the Holocene and Pleistocene periods. Methods utilized included aerial photographs, soil profiles, and sediment sampling. Conclusions derived: a cultural horizon buried in an Aeolian deposit; shallow and deeper deposits in the excavation sites; sediment erosion on the southwest slope and buildup on the northeastern slope; thicker post-aeolian deposits on the northeastern slope; porous sand and gravel suggesting Native American occupancy. From these conclusions, the author suggested that this model can be used for future Coastal Plain soil studies.

Abstract:
This article contains an analysis of the authors' excavation from sites at the Piedmont region between the Archaic to Woodland periods by Coastal Carolina Research Inc. Their analysis included geoarchaeological methods such as radioactive carbon dating, soil taxonomy, and geological descriptive methods. Include were figures containing statistical measures, excavation site views, and images of artifacts, as well as tables containing strata data.

Abstract:
In 2000, excavation teams from East Carolina University returned to this area after a twenty plus year absence. Examined were the area’s early and middle Holocene chronology, typology, and geoarchaeology of the middle to late Archaic periods. Data was gathered through sedimentology, site formations, and mapping and shovel testing of the sand ridge. Recovered were flakes and sherds of ceramics and stone tools. Complementing the qualitative data were figures detailing sherd and site images. Tables contained data related to ceramic types and sample sizes for tool flakes and sherds.
