Abstract:

Ethnographic documents suggest that the total population of the Catawba Indians declined from 1700 to 1850 but then increased again over the next one hundred years. Sources reveal that while European-introduced diseases were among determinants of Catawba population change, emigration and other factors may have been significant.

Abstract:

Through an opportunity afforded by a survey conducted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, archaeologists some of the most remote and culturally conservative portions of the traditional Cherokee lands in the western part of the State. Through ethnographic and archaeological investigations, researchers now better understand the effect the natural environment had on the cultural characteristics of the Cherokee in this area.

Abstract:

Fish remains recovered from prehistoric archaeological sites along the Roanoke River in Virginia and North Carolina have been found to not be native to the Roanoke, as well as a lack of species that should be found in the area. Reconsiderations of previous research will help determine if this discrepancies are unique to the prehistoric fisheries of the Roanoke.

Abstract:

When archaeological investigations began at Brunswick Town in the 1950s, numerous fragments of decorative tin-enameled tile were recovered from three structures. The decorative motifs represent nine distinct styles and help archaeologists discern the history of delftware ceramics in the Americas.

Gray, Anna L.

Abstract:

Gray examines two regional North Carolina sites to discern possible differences and similarities in archaeological artifacts. Although in some instances Brunswick Town artifacts are similar, there are differences between this site and those of the Albemarle Sound in function, showing regional differences in household assemblages.

Beaman, Thomas E., Jr.

Abstract:

It has been argued that historical archaeology began in North Carolina with the work of Talcott Williams in the 19th century in search of the Roanoke settlements or with the work of James Sprunt at Russellborough near Brunswick Town. Beaman argues that historical archaeology did not flourish in the state until the mid 20th century, when Morely Jeffers Williams conducted the first archaeological investigation into the opulent pre-Revolutionary home of William Tryon in New Bern.

Foodways studies can address numerous topics such as ritual, feasting, gender, status, and socioeconomic and political change. Work done on the faunal and botanical remains from the Coweeta Creek site in Macon County aid in understanding the subsistence trends of the 17th century Cherokee.

Gunn, Joel D.

Abstract:

Between 1982-2002, archaeological expeditions of the Southern Coastal Plains yielded explanations for unique cultural development patterns among inhabitants such as the Iroquois and Algonkian. Such patterns, referred to by Joel Gunn as a “cultural anvil,” were especially the case during prehistoric periods, as well as global and ice ages. The author explained that this phenomenon occurred because by the Coastal Plain’s lack of natural enclosures. The phenomenon was particularly observed in ceramic artifacts.

Riggs, Brett H.

Abstract:

This article was a lead in for “The Last of the Iroquois Potters,” M.R. Harrington’s 1909 study of traditional Cherokee ceramics produced during the Qualla periods in what is now Cherokee, NC. Brett Riggs and Christopher Rodning’s article focused on other archaeologists from Harrington’s time and characteristic features of pottery produced particularly during the Qualla periods. Also noted were other discoveries of Iroquois pottery in Southeast regions such as Georgia and the continuation of this pottery’s production into the twenty first century.
