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.

In order to get started, first install the software. Read the sections in this document entitled Installation Instructions and Changing Windows Graphics Modes for tips on this process. Once the software has been installed, look at the Navigation Tips and the Tour of the Software sections of this document to help familiarize yourself with the report software.

Finally, we have provided advice in this document on how educators can use this report in a classroom setting, how to access and use the data files on the CD-ROM, how to contact Technical Support in case of difficulties, and some advice on solving a few common problems encountered with this software.
