Southeastern Archaeology

Southeastern Archaeology is the study of past human societies in the southeastern United States, focusing on their cultures, technologies, and environments through the analysis of artifacts, structures, and ecofacts. It examines indigenous peoples' ways of life before and during European contact, highlighting regional differences and cultural developments over thousands of years. This field helps us understand how communities adapted to changing landscapes, developed social systems, and interacted with their surroundings, contributing valuable insights into America's diverse historical and cultural heritage.
