"For anyone with an interest in archaeology, this remarkable CD opens an amazing window on the
excavation of an eighteenth-century Indian settlement in North Carolina. All of the detailed
maps, photographs, and scholarly descriptions of Occaneechi Town and its artifacts are carefully
linked in a very accessible and engaging fabric of interpretation that provides a fascinating and
comprehensive view of how archaeologists piece together the way of life of an ancient Indian
village." --Bruce Smith, Smithsonian Institution
This CD-ROM incorporates a remarkable body of information on the
archaeological discoveries made at the Fredricks site, an
eighteenth-century Occaneechi Indian community located near present-day
Hillsborough, North Carolina. By incorporating detailed descriptions and
interpretations, hundreds of color photographs, and complete data on all
artifacts and archaeological features found at this important site, it
will serve as both a valuable scholarly reference and a dynamic teaching
tool.
Features include:
- An innovative "electronic dig" that allows teachers to simulate an
archaeological excavation in the classroom
- A setup utility, tutorials, and extensive online help
- An easy-to-use browser, sophisticated tools for navigating and
searching text, and extensive cross-referencing
- Hypertext links to bibliographic references and illustrations and
machine-readable databases for statistical analysis
