1.A Cherokee Migration Fragment by Corkran, David H. Southern Indian Studies Vol. 4 Issue , Oct 1952
Record #:
29104
Author(s):
Abstract:
A fragment of the Cherokee migration story presented to Alexander Long in 1717 is provided and then analyzed. The story’s explanation of the Cherokee migration seems unlikely from a contemporary perspective because of claims about their ancient writing system, their diet, and a migration pattern from east to west. All of these seem unlikely for various reasons, but the author focuses on the migration pattern. However, when considered the geography in the tale from a different perspective, this could be an account of an Indian crossing from Northeast Asia into northwestern North America.

Abstract:
This brief comparison of ceramics from the Hollywood mounds with ceramics from the Town Creek mound in North Carolina emphasizes similarities in the physical appearance of the pottery and in the presence of an urn-burial complex at both sites. Material from upper levels at the Hollywood mounds is described as showing striking resemblances to the material from Town Creek. The Lower levels at Hollywood possess "Southern Cult'' material not duplicated at Town Creek, where "Southern
Cult" influence is minor.

Abstract:
: In southeastern North Carolina the remains of what could have been ossuary burial practices have been observed since the late 1800s. In 1884 J. A. Holmes observed that the burial mounds in Duplin, Sampson, Robeson, Cumberland, and southern Wake counties had certain common characteristics. In this article Hogue outlines methods for analyzing the skeletal material found in these ossuaries.
