Pleistocene Human Settlement in the Southeastern United States: Current Evidence and Future Directions

David G. Anderson, Ashley M. Smallwood, D. Shane Miller · 1 Jan 2015

Research into the earliest occupations in the southeastern United States has been underway since the 1930s, when a pattern of large-scale excavations combined with the reporting of surface finds was initiated that continues to this day. Work at Macon Plateau and Parrish Village, excavated during the New Deal, was followed by a series of stratigraphic…

Early Human Settlement of Northeastern North America

Jonathan C. Lothrop, Darrin Lowery, Arthur Spiess et al. · 2 Jul 2016

This paper summarizes current evidence for earliest human occupation of northeastern North America during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. We review evolution of the region's landscapes and evidence of archaeological chronologies as context for understanding human settlement of the region. Current data support limited evidence for pre-Clovis occupation south of the Laurentide glacial margin,…

A Framework for the Initial Occupation of the Americas

David B. Madsen · 1 Jul 2015

A substantial amount of archaeological data suggests groups with markedly different lithic technologies and subsistence adaptations were widespread throughout both American continents by ∼13–13.5 ka. While there are fewer archaeological sites credibly dated to ∼13.5–15.5 ka, they are sufficient to indicate human foragers occupied at least the Pacific coasts of both continents and probably interior…

New Data on a Pleistocene Archaeological Sequence in South America: Toca do Sítio do Meio, Piauí, Brazil

Éric Boëda, Roxane Rocca, Amélie Da Costa et al. · 1 Oct 2016

Sítio do Meio, discovered in the 1990s, showed a sedimentary sequence clearly composed of two sets of deposits separated by a zone of large rockfall from the massive collapse of the shelter's overhang. The bottom set, slightly more than 60 cm thick, was trapped between the bedrock (upon which it rested) and the lower part…

The Pre-Columbian Caribbean: Colonization, Population Dispersal, and Island Adaptations

Scott M. Fitzpatrick · 1 Oct 2015

Once considered a backwater of New World prehistory, the Caribbean has now emerged from the archaeological shadows as a critical region for answering a host of questions related to human population dispersal, Neotropical island adaptations, maritime subsistence, seafaring, island interaction networks, and the rise of social complexity, among many others. In this paper, I provide…
