By: O’Steen, Lisa.

Abstract
O'Steen discusses the settlement system and land use of the people living on the Oconee river drainage from the Late Paleoindian to Early Archaic period. She found a correlation between the shoals areas and tributary confluences and higher site density. However, no Early Archaic base camp-aggregation sites were found at the Fall Line as predicted by Anderson (document no. 4). Instead these predicted aggregation sites were located elsewhere in the Oconee river valley.
