Interaction, Sedentism, and Aggregation in Woodland-stage Central Alabama
In this thesis, Woodland-stage interaction and sedentism in central Alabama are addressed as they relate to the Armory site, a Late Middle Woodland mound center and village located in Dallas County, Alabama. These topics are examined along a chronological dimension by quantifying and comparing the stylistic diversity and dissimilarity of ceramic assemblages through time. Following these analyses, I suggest that the Armory site may have functioned as a nexus of inter-regional interaction during the Late Middle Woodland subperiod and that temporal fluctuations in mean ceramic dissimilarity may be the product of aggregation rather than sedentism.
Salt Production in the Southeastern Caddo Homeland
During the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the Drake Salt Works Site Complex, located in the southeastern Caddo Indian Homeland, was a major hub of the salt trade.

Despite this demand, there is little evidence that salt making was more...
