See attached for a paper I presented recently at the 2015 annual meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference in Nashville. The research presented here is an outgrowth of my larger dissertation research, and provides some interesting evidence on the inadequacy of shovel testing on a cruciform pattern for archaeological site delineation at the level of Phase I cultural resource survey, which is common practice in Mississippi. Comments are more than welcome!
After a successful first field season during the summer of 2014, I put together a summary of my findings for the Mississippi Archaeological Association's July newsletter. The article can be read by downloading the PDF below.
This represents the first post here on my dissertation research blog. In the months and years to come I will use this site as a means of communicating my progress and to encourage interaction with other researchers sharing similar interests. Stay tuned!
