Archeology of the John H. Kerr Reservoir Basin, Roanoke River Virginia-North Carolina

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Virginia, a rich field for the historian, has recently become a rich field for the archeologist. A few initial studies have been conducted in Virginia, but no serious investigations have been made to deter mine the extent of coverage of time when Homo sapiens sapiens first arrived, the tools he devised, and how his culture slowly developed until contact was made with the recently arrived white man into this country. At the present time the overall archeology of Virginia is based on much too broad and superficial treatments to be of any practical value to the serious student. Investigators in the past dealt mostly with surface indications, which at their best are only cursory.
