archaeology of the mid-holocene southeast • Gainesville • Published In 1996 • Pages: 3-27

Abstract
Schuldenrein writes an overview of the geoarchaeology that has been done in the southeast of the United States. 'Early Holocene climates and hydrographic changes … account for a prehistoric record that is spotty and uneven. Evidence suggests that the majority of early archaeological sites … have either been severely eroded or remain deeply buried …. Conversely, by the end of the mid-Holocene largely modern environments had been established and … upper Late Archaic sites abound almost everywhere across North America. … A systematic understanding of the prehistoric geography of the mid-Holocene is the key to explaining broad diachronic changes in paleoecology.' (page 3).
