Abstract
Foley and Chapman conducted stratigraphic investigations at three sites on the first alluvial terrace of the Little Tennessee River. They did detailed drawings of the stratigraphy and described the soils and living surfaces. Human occupation began about 9500 B.P. during periods of low water. Soil deposition was the dominant geologic process until about 7000 B.P. Thirty occupation layers were found at Icehouse Bottom dating to the Early and Middle Archaic.
