Description
Surface collections from 244 prehistoric sites on the Fortson and
O'Hara Transmission Lines in the western Georgia Piedmont were
analyzed. An attempt to define the Old Quartz Industry led to a
review of Middle Archaic Morrow Mountain in the Southeastern United
States. The Old Quartz Industry was not an integral cultural unit,
but an industry involving utilization of locally available lithic
resources. The industry was not limited to any one culture or
culture period, but reached a peak in the Middle Archaic period.
Percentages of local versus exotic materials are highest for the
Middle Archaic period in western Georgia. Sites of this period are
also more abundant than those of other periods. The data suggests
decreasing inter-regional mobility in the Middle Archaic period in
the Southern Piedmont. Hypotheses for further testing included
attainment of primary forest efficiency or increasing dependance
on horticulture in the Middle Archaic period, leading up to the
establishment of settled villages.
