“…Research here has played a role in the beginnings of problem-oriented archaeology in Jefferson's excavation of a Monacan burial mound (Hantman and Dunham 1993), an early case study in processual archaeology (Binford 1991), innovative studies of native social complexity that combine archaeology and ethnohistory (e.g., Rountree and Turner 2002), and excavations at the early English colonial settlement of Jamestown (e.g., Kelso 2006). The Chesapeake also benefits from pioneering programs of archaeological research associated with outdoor museums (e.g., Brown and Edwards 2006;Miller 2007) and urban areas (e.g., Cressey andVinton 2007, Leone 2005), though these programs typically focus on non-native histories. In fact, the prominence of historical archaeology across the Chesapeake often overshadows the region's Native American past.…”

Archaeological studies of Native American societies in the Chesapeake have recently incorporated a broader range of interpretive frames, including those that emphasize historical contingency and social interaction rather than cultural ecology and cultural materialism. New evidence of Woodland-period population movements, persistent places, and cycles of social ranking has prompted historically oriented interpretations that foreground particular configurations of ideology, tradition, ritual, and agency. Contact-period studies have demonstrated that native strategies of the colonial period were rooted in precontact social landscapes. Contemporary American Indians are also reclaiming their pasts in ways that challenge archaeological practices and further broaden perspectives on the Chesapeake past.
