Using Refuse Disposal Patterning Methods to Discern Site Structure on an Antebellum Backwoods Plantation’s Big House Site in Mississippi’s Pine Hills
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Archaeologists investigating historic backwoods sites of ephemeral log construction in Mississippi, from farmsteads to plantations, face unique challenges when confronting issues of site structure. Scant documentary evidence, lack of structural foundations, and the removal of structural elements all encumber attempts to discern site structure. This thesis examines the site formation processes at work within the various stages of systemic development of a historic backwoods house lot, and seeks to combine various refuse disposal patterning methods into an archaeological model for use in Mississippi's Pine Hills.</p>
