Most studies of domestic architecture in the Southeast have been conducted at the single-site scale. As a result, broader spatial and temporal patterns of variation in houses and households are not well understood. To address this problem, Steere constructed a database that catalogues the architectural features of 1,258 structures from 65 sites in the Southern Appalachian region and surrounding areas. Significant trends identified by this comparative study include changes in the size and spacing of houses, changes in architectural investment, and a secular trend toward the increasing segmentation of houses. Using a theoretical framework developed from household archaeology and anthropology, Steere argues that certain aspects of this architectural variation can be explained by changes in household economics and household composition, symbolic behavior, status differentiation, and settlement patterning. More generally, he proposes that large-scale patterns of diachronic and synchronic variation in domestic architecture are best explained by changes in social organization"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of North America$xDwellings$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aHousehold archaeology$zSouthern States 606 $aIndian architecture$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture, Domestic$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zSouthern States 607 $aSouthern States$xAntiquities 607 $aAppalachian Region, Southern$xAntiquities 615 0$aIndians of North America$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xDwellings$xHistory. 615 0$aHousehold archaeology 615 0$aIndian architecture$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture, Domestic$xHistory. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a975.004/97 686 $aSOC003000$aSOC002010$aARC005010$2bisacsh 700 $aSteere$b Benjamin A.$f1981-$01539260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792880703321 996 $aThe archaeology of houses and households in the Native Southeast$93790004 997 $aUNINA
