“…Furthermore, we believe that the survey results do tell us something about the differences in pre-contact settlement activity (i.e., number of people or length of occupation) at these sites. In particular, the densest sites (31Wk26 and 31Yd173) resemble the archaeological surface of the Donnaha site, which has ample evidence-burials, thick middens, and dense artifact concentrations-to support its description as a larger settlement (Woodall, 1984), suggesting that these sites were similar. The surfaces of the other sites are much less densely covered with artifacts and have no evidence of middens.…”

“…These projects produced information detailing the site location, areas surveyed, remains found, and potential for future research. In addition, several sites were the objects of follow-up excavations (Barnette, 1978;Mikell, 1987;Woodall, 1984Woodall, , 1990Woodall, , 1999Woodall, , 2009. This earlier work confirmed that several sites in the valley were settlements through the identification of middens and other habitation features.…”

“…Our archival research initially identified 24 sites with enough existing information, produced from the aforementioned research projects, to classify them as settlements occupied between 800 CE and 1600 CE without further fieldwork needed. Four of these 24 have published radiocarbon dates placing them in this period (Woodall, 1984(Woodall, , 1990(Woodall, , 1999(Woodall, , 2009. One has similar but unpublished radiocarbon dates (Woodall, 1995).…”

“…We used only the sherds larger than 9 cm 2 to be certain that we could accurately assess the interior and exterior surface treatments. We then used the above variables to place each sherd into one of the existing Woodland Period ceramic classes-Badin, Yadkin, Uwharrie, Dan River, Saratown, and Burkeas described by Coe (2006), Ward and Davis (1999:100-117), Woodall (1984), and Beck and Moore (2002). These are often still discussed using the Early, Middle, and Late Woodland terminology, but we prefer to use associated dates because the dates for the time periods vary within the Southeast depending on where Mississippian traits appear.…”

Ecological studies of pre-contact tribal groups tend to focus on the environmental aspects of ecology; far less research has explored the social, economic, and political interactions that influence interactions between a group and its environment and landscape. In this research, we present a comprehensive approach to studying tribal ecology through the use of archaeological settlement patterns. We use a combination of ceramic analysis, GIS-based landscape reconstruction, and discriminant function analysis to explore the relationships between settlement location, size, and various environmental and cultural features of the landscape. Our work focuses on Piedmont Village Tradition (PVT) peoples of the upper Yadkin River Valley in the North Carolina Piedmont during 800-1600 CE. Studies of tribal cultures in the Southeast during this time period are rare. Our results indicate that intergroup relations strongly influenced settlement patterns, suggesting that we take a more inclusive approach to studying their role on the settlement ecology of tribal cultures.
