“…Though the size of a site's areal coverage was not a direct determinant of population, there is a strong positive correlation between the site area and population for the Mohawk Valley Iroquois sites (r = .8494, p < 0.0001) (data from Snow, 1995). Changes in settlement density were due to supra-local political and economic developments (Jordan, 2004;Snow, 1994: 47).…”

“…The central concerns in Hart and Rieth's volume (2002) on the Northeast are subsistence/settlement models, the relationship of internal settlement organization to regional settlement patterns, and village formation around the time of maize adoption. Jordan (2004) combines historical and archaeological data to show how local and macroregional political-economic conditions explain specific changes in Seneca-Iroquois settlement patterns. His study highlights how Seneca actors altered their ways of doing things to seek and take advantage of new opportunities.…”

This is a critical review of regional settlement pattern archaeology published in the last decade. The regional approach proves to be highly productive of new ideas and lasting results. Cultural resource/heritage databases are increasingly important. Notable advances have been made in regional studies of Paleolithic and Holocene foragers, the reciprocal relations between Neolithic communities and their regional societies, and in understanding states and empires. There are new research potentials in comparisons, macroregional analysis, long-term change, and alternative pathways. Research designs should specify systematic coverage at the regional scale and carry out spatial analysis in which social groups are the primary focus.

“…Jordan's (2004) recent evaluation of Seneca settlement shows a regular movement of towns about every 20 years during the eighteenth century. This movement appears to have revolved around a pattern of large, paired towns surrounded by a constellation of small settlements.…”

________________________________________________________________The Upper Susquehanna drainage in New York assumed increasingly greater prominence as a borderland during the eighteenth century. Contrary to the idea that geopolitical boundaries were Colonial impositions, the creation of this borderland ensued from long-term strategies on the part of Native American as well as Euro-American powers. Reacting to Colonial encroachments from south and east, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) populated the valley with multi-ethnic towns consisting of both refugee tribes from the Atlantic seaboard and Iroquois representatives. These actions created a distinctive zone of creolized communities, and reflected the Haudenosaunee ability to play off English notions of demarcating the landscape. ________________________________________________________________Resumen: La cuenca alta del Susquehanna, en Nueva York, asumió una prominencia progresiva como frontera en el siglo XVIII. En contra de la idea de que las fronteras biopolíticas fueron imposiciones coloniales la creació n de esta frontera fue resultado de estrategias de largo plazo de los nativos y de los poderes euro-americanos. Los Haudenosaunee (Iroqueses) reaccionaron a la presió n colonial desde el sur y el oriente y poblaron el valle con aldeas multi-étnicas compuestas de tribus refugiadas de la costa Atlántica y representantes Iroqueses. Estas acciones crearon una zona distintiva de comunidades criollizadas y reflejaron la habilidad de los Haudenosaunee para jugar con las nociones inglesas de demarcació n del paisaje. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: Au 18ème siècle, le drainage du Haut Susquehanna à New York assuma un rô le frontalier accru. La création de cette bordure faisait partie d'une stratégie à long terme initiés par des Natifs américains et des Euroaméricains et non pas, contrairement à ce que l'on pensait à l'origine, d'une imposition géopolitique des colonialistes. Les Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), voyant leur territoire au Sud et à l'Est empiété par les colonialistes, peuplèrent la vallée en créant des villes multiethniques composées de
