Section 1. Introduction Welcome to Excavating Occaneechi Town,
an archaeological site report on CD-ROM. This report describes and
interprets the buried remains of Occaneechi Town, a small but important
village of the Occaneechi tribe that stood on the banks of the Eno River
in North Carolina at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Also
known as the Fredricks site, this village was excavated by
archaeologists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in
order to study how European colonization of North America affected
Native Americans.
Excavating
Occaneechi Town is unique, not just because it is an electronic
publication but because it contains a wealth of visual and descriptive
information not usually available in an archaeological site report. In
fact, it is a complete, fully searchable record of all the
excavated contexts and recovered artifacts from Occaneechi Town. In
addition to describing the archaeology of the site and interpreting what
was found, this report contains over 1,000 full-color photographs and
maps, and detailed information for over 100,000 artifacts. The report
also contains an archaeological teaching tool, called the Electronic
Dig, which allows students to design their own research strategies and
re-excavate Occaneechi
Town.
