University of New Orleans

Subject:

Description:

An examination of human adaption to the dynamic and highly complex environment of the southeastern Louisiana Deltaic plain. The archaeological and ethnographic record preserves the cultural patterns and settlements of the earliest indigenous groups to occupy the area and extends into the colonial periods of first French, then Spanish, and finally American statehood. Adaptive strageties of each of these groups will be compared, relative to their technology and imported cultural patterns. Different environmental settings will be contrasted to demonstrate the elasticity of human culture as an adaptive device.
