/ ‘Time Before History’ details first survey CHAPEL HILL’— Tar Heel ar chaeologists like Drs. Trawick Ward and Stephen Davis Jr. are proud of the archaeological rich ness and diversity of North Caro lina. That’s why the two Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have spent the past four years writing the first comprehensive survey of archae ology across the state. “Time Before History: The Ar chaeology of North Carolina" (UNC Press, 1999) represents the first attempt to convey in a l’readable” book for both academ ics and lay people the tremendous diversity ofthe state’s archeaology, said Ward, an archeologist with UNC-CH’s Research Laboratories of Archaeology. “We thought the time was right — that we had enough new infor mation —to come out with a book, ” he said. “I’ve been thinking about such a book since 1983, but I’m glad we waited to do it. Much of what they learned emerged through UNC-CH’s Siouan Project, a 15-year effort di rected by Ward and Davis that in cluded Occaneechi site excava tions in Hillsborough. “That project taught us a lot we didn’t know about the early period of contact between Native Ameri cans and the colonists,” said Davis, also an archaeologist with the labo ratories. “Moreover, we have been able to get a better handle on the basic chronology of the entire state during recent years because of important research conducted by former students and colleagues. Today, we simply have a clearer, and hopefully more accurate un derstanding of the past than we did 20 years ago.” The autlors hope the book will spark reader interest in the deep, unwritten past - more than 10,000 years before North Carolina’s re corded history, which beganinthe 16th century with voyages^of Sir^ Walter Raleigh and the founding* of the Lost Colony on Roanoke Is land. “Time Before History” moves LOOK WHO S "40" KOW TOLD YOU WED GET YOU BACK SOMEHOW AMY, KZCHOLE £ HALEY WHITE'S DRESS SHOPPE “Latest In Women’s Fashions’’ < STORE WIDE SALE v'20%-75% OFF IRENE H MEADS - PROPRIETOR 426-5651 115 Church St. Hertford Patient ifaitim.

Francis and Boehling are pleased to announce that Anne Charles, RN, Certified Nurse Midwife will join their practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology starting January 2000. Anne brings a fresh, spirited approach to women's healthcare, and shares the philosophy of Francis & Boehling. H from the Paleolndian period, when the first immigrants to North American crossed a land bridge that spanned the Bering Strait, through the arrival of European settlers and traders in the 16th and 1 7th centuries. During that time, native North Carolinians gradu ally changed from hunters and gatherers to farmers, and their societies became increasingly com plex. This story has been recon structed from archaeological sites left behind from the coast to the mountains of North Carolina, Ward said. Most of the early sites are small and deeply buried. Later sites range in variety from small stockaded settlements in the Pied mont to villages near the coast formed by clusters of long houses. The coast remains the least un- • derstood region of the state and will be the hot spot for future ar chaeologists, he says. Larger, more complex sites are found in the mountains, some of which contain raised earthen platforms where priests’ residences or public build ings once stood. . Because most of the things an cient peoples behind at these sites are broken, much information has come from studying artifact frag ments, said Wqrd, who came to UNC-CH to study archaeology and never left. Multidisciplinary studies have also created a clearer picture of the relationship between Indian groups and newcomers during the time when they first began inter acting, he says. Contrary to what researchers had assumed, Indians living in North Carolina didn’t immediately change when colo nists arrived. “Our Siouan Project began with the assumption that when Native Americans and Europeans con tacted one another, the Native Americans quickly adopted Euro pean ways,” Ward said. “We ini tially thought that once traders came in, the Native Americans broke down and began to live like pioneers. “That was not the case,” he said. “They continued their tra ditional ways up to the very end when they were forced to vacate certain areas because of depopu lation. 1 admire that. In the face of devastating change, they con tinued their traditional cultural ways. They might have traded their bow for a gun or a clay pot for a metal kettle, but they didn’t adapt to European customs.” These projects and research have taught the scientists an im portant lesson about diversity. “In the past few years, new fed eral laws have required archae ologists to return human re mains and associated funerary objects to Native American groups,” Ward said. “Because both archaeologists and Native Americans haye made ongoing efforts to understand each other’s viewpoints, there’s much more cooperation now than there was 20 years ago. There’s a lot more respect for diversity.” Professional Grower Products for your Home Garden f POTTING & GERMINATION MIXES.2 CF & 3 CF BAGS PINE BARK/PEANUT COMPOST .CU.YD. | AGRICULTURAL COMPOST.....1 CU.YD. rife > Rich, composted products for potting house plants, seeding flats, improving your garden soil, and mulching your landscape BiO-COMP 482-8528 • Hours M-F 7:30 am - 4 pm 2116-B Bio-Comp Dr., Edenton (Off Soundside Road, one block past White's Country Store) Major in saving money.
