Climatic, biotic, and geomorphic changes that had dramatic effects on prehistoric human populations occurred during the early and middle Holocene in North America. This volume focuses on the stratigraphic record of that period, and the controls that sedimentary and pedologic processes have exerted on our perceptions of the associated archaeological record of the Archaic Period. A variety of approaches to investigating and modeling the archaeological geology of the early and middle Holocene in North America are presented. These seven papers summarize what is known of the archaeological geology of the Archaic Period from the St. Lawrence Lowland, through the Mid-continent and Plains, to the Rocky Mountains, and on the continental shelf. They draw information from a variety of sources including previously unpublished studies and the "gray" literature of cultural resource management studies.
