Excavating Occaneechi Town

This electronic monograph incorporates a remarkable body of information on the archaeological discoveries made at the Fredricks site, an eighteenth-century Occaneechi Indian community located in present-day Hillsborough, North Carolina. With 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.



Useful features include an easy-to-use browser, sophisticated tools for navigating and searching text, hypertext links to bibliographic references and illustrations, extensive cross-referencing, and machine-readable databases for statistical analysis. Of special note is a unique "electronic dig" feature that allows teachers to simulate an archaeological excavation in the classroom.



Originally published in 1998 as a CD-ROM, Excavating Occaneechi Town is now available online and can be accessed with a browser on a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone.
