SUMMARY:The Averett Culture: Migration, Mississippianization, and Community Practice in the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley
DESCRIPTION:Join ARI in welcoming Dr. Kimberly Swisher, who is currently an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Kentucky University.\nThis talk will discuss work and research from the last several years on the Late Woodland Averett Culture in the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley of Georgia. This ongoing research focuses on two Averett sites at the northern and southern Averett cultural boundaries, exploring the impact of immigration of politically stratified groups on the local non-stratified Averett communities in the precolonial southeastern United States and the processes under which these interactions occurred (ca. AD 900 – 1300). Evidence is considered for social and cultural interactions before, during, and after Mississippian culture and practices appear in this region, showing a range of decision-making and agency at community and regional levels, where Averett populations incorporated Mississippian lifeways or actively resisted doing so. This further explores the impact of politically stratified, hierarchical immigrants on local non-stratified communities in the precolonial southeastern United States and the processes under which these interactions occurred.\nJoin us for Happy Hour starting at 5:30 PM with drinks and appetizers, and the talk will begin promptly at 6:30 PM.\nIf you are unable to join us in person, you can purchase a webinar here> https://donorbox.org/events/328613\n\n \n
