AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Working in the Lamar period, James W. Hatch explores the relevance of the large number of dispersed single family habitations found scattered throughout the Oconee River drainage in the lower Georgia Piedmont. This research is expecially relevant for highlighting the diversity of settlement systems in the Southeast. It also demonstrates how a major population increase was handled in the settlement system through expansion of farmsteads into upland areas during the Dyar and Bell phases (A.D. 1520 - ca. 1670) at a time of major cultural transformation among chiefdoms in the Southeast (32: Rogers, p. 5).
