“…Archaeological sites in the western mountains and on the southern piedmont exhibit Mississippian characteristics attributed to the Pisgah/Qualla and Pee Dee cultures respectively, including distinct ceramic traditions, the construction of public architecture (platform mounds), status distinctions, and the near ubiquitous practice of frontooccipital cranial shaping (Coe, 1995;Lambert, 2000bLambert, , 2001Lambert, , 2002aRodning, 2011;Ward & Davis, 1999).

“…The osteological samples presented here originate from the piedmont and mountain regions of North Carolina and the southern piedmont of Virginia. Archaeological sites in the western mountains and on the southern piedmont exhibit Mississippian characteristics attributed to the Pisgah/Qualla and Pee Dee cultures respectively, including distinct ceramic traditions, the construction of public architecture (platform mounds), status distinctions, and the near ubiquitous practice of frontooccipital cranial shaping (Coe, 1995;Lambert, 2000bLambert, , 2001Lambert, , 2002aRodning, 2011;Ward & Davis, 1999). The Woodland period occupants of the northern piedmont did not demonstrably participate in this Mississippian cultural sphere, although they followed a similar agricultural trajectory (Ward & Davis, 1999).…”

The results of this study support the hypothesis that, with respect to traumatic injury risk, low-intensity farming is a risk-averse subsistence strategy in comparison with full-time foraging or high-intensity agriculture. These data suggest that it is not agriculture per se that predicts an increase in this health risk, but rather the mode and intensity of agricultural production, findings that have important ramifications for our understanding of the health consequences of major subsistence transitions.

“…Differentiation also emerges with changes in economic and political regimes. Burials recovered from town houses and domestic residences at Cowatee site in southwestern North Carolina were subject to mortuary analysis to illuminate gender roles and ideology (Rodning 2011). Although some broad pattern of mortuary placement was observed—men tended to be associated with public architecture while women tended to be located in domestic residence—mortuary patterns were not clear‐cut.…”

A lively debate was witnessed in 2011 about the role of deductive and interpretive approaches in the production of anthropological knowledge, especially as it relates to archaeology. Scholarly output in archaeology thisyear reflects this concern. First, there is a trend toward furthering our archaeological imagination-finding new ways of asking questions that link the most empirical of research projects with innovative social theory. Second, there is an embracement of the messiness of archaeological data and the conclusions we can reach from it. By looking at the messiness of archaeological data and the limits of knowledge, archaeology asserts itself as an open frontier for anthropological inquiry.

“…The effect of ideology and ideological change on settlement patterns has attracted attention from archaeologists, especially where such change can be detected in the historical record (e.g. Delle, 1999;González-Ruibal, 2012;Joseph, 1993;Lucas, 2009;McGuire, 1991;Ogundiran, 2014;Rodning, 2011). Beyond the edge of the historical record these investigations become more difficult, but here too archaeologists have identified ideology's effect on settlement patterns (Harrower, 2008;Siegel, 2010) and vice versa (Hutson & Welch, 2014;Love, 2013).…”

The Kao Ancient Village settlement site is located in the hinterland of North Halmahera, standing on relatively wet ground flanked by the river Aer Kalak, Ake Ngoali, and Ake Jodo and surrounded by sago and swamp forests. The settlement conditions on the site make it limited for residential space, but a community of Kao people settled in this area for a relatively long period of time between 100-200 years and even recorded in history that Kao region is the main food supplier for Ternate in the past. This research conducted surface surveys and limited excavations, then mapped the areas of artifactual findings, and identified patterns of spatial use by analyzing surface features and artifact scatters. Variety of archeological data both artifacts and oral traditions are then analyzed guided by relevant reference sources. The results show that Kao Site is an advanced settlement and has a significant role as the center of Islamicization in Halmahera. The Kao people settled for a long time in one location supported by water sources and the potential of farming lands making the Kao area a part of bustling trade networks. Kao became part of a strategy in spreading Islam to other inland areas, as well as coastal areas in North Halmahera.
