The new article from James Strawn and colleagues, Early Holocene landscape use in the upper Tombigbee River valley, will be released in the next issue of Southeastern Archaeology. An online version of the article can be accessed here. ABSTRACT We draw on the distribution of recorded archaeological sites, temporally diagnostic projectile points, sources of lithic raw materials, and fossil pollen projections to evaluate existing models for Early Holocene landscape use in the upper Tombigbee River valley (UTRV) in northeast Mississippi. We then discuss the applicability of Anderson and Hanson (1988), Daniel (2001), and Hollenbach (2009) in gaining a better understanding of early hunter-gatherer mobility and settlement in the region and discuss future directions for research.
