Abstract

ABSTRACT Perspectives on the Paleoindian occupation of the unglaciated eastern United States have changed significantly in the last 25 years. Historically, the Midsouth riverine region has been described as consisting of few true sites but many isolated projectile points, with Paleoindians rarely participating in the behaviors that produce sites. Due to the efforts of individuals such as Charles M. Hubbert, however, we know this is no longer a tenable interpretation. In this perspective, the author provides a brief overview of the influence of Hubbert and places his career within a historical context. Hubbert spent much of his career working in the Tennessee Valley, and the papers in this special section highlight new research efforts in the Tennessee Valley and Midsouth. The author also introduces the set of three papers that make up this special section of this issue of PaleoAmerica.

特别部分简介:田纳西河谷的古印第安考古

在过去的25年里，关于古印第安人占领美国东部未冰期地区的观点发生了重大变化。从历史上看，中南部河流地区被描述为由少数真正的遗址组成，但有许多孤立的抛射点，古印第安人很少参与产生遗址的行为。然而，由于查尔斯·m·哈伯特等人的努力，我们知道这不再是一个站得住脚的解释。从这个角度来看，作者简要概述了哈伯特的影响，并将他的职业生涯置于历史背景中。Hubbert的大部分职业生涯都在田纳西河谷工作，这个特别部分的论文突出了在田纳西河谷和中南部的新研究成果。作者还介绍了组成本期《古美洲》专题的三篇论文。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
