I'd been thinking about you and wondering how you are these days! -----Original Message----- From: TalliyaSoutheast@aol.com To: CREEK-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, Apr 11, 2010 12:15 pm Subject: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Three month long series on Native American communities in the Examiner Online April 11, 2010 stanko Brothers and Sisters! n early March the National Edition of Examiner.com began publishing a eries of illustrated articles on Native American communities and towns. eginning with Watsons Brake, LA (3500 BC) the articles are generally moving orward chronologically, and will eventually cover all of the United States nd Canada. There will also be some articles on sites in Mesoamerica that eem culturally linked to indigenous peoples in the Southeast and Southwest. he free articles are probably not technical enough to be terribly useful o professional archaeologists - with the exception of the Florida sites - ut will provide a comprehensive base for teaching Native American history, ulture and architecture. Approximately 45 articles have been published o far. The Examiner allows its articles to be distributed and reproduced ithout prior permission. The list of the currently published articles may e accessed at the following URL: http://www.examiner.com/x-40598-Architecture--Design-Examiner_ http://www.examiner.com/x-40598-Architecture--Design-Examiner) his is how the series happened. I was originally hired by the Examiner n February to write articles on Architecture & Design. The few people, who ead them, gave favorable responses, but it was obvious that Americans are ust not interested in architecture these days. Elsewhere in the world, he professional title of architect is one of the most respected careers. oday in the USA, it guaranties automatic approval for food stamps! In rustration, I wrote a simple article on Indian mounds. The next day it was the number one rated Examiner article in the nation! The editors authorized e to shift to articles on Native American culture with a national focus. ost have been ranked in the top ten readership for that day, since then. everal have been number one. bout Florida or unknown reasons, archaeological studies of the region in Georgia, labama and Florida from Ocmulgee National Monument southward seem to be urrently beyond the radar range of most archaeological publications and web ites these days. Some brilliant work has been done by archaeologists in this egion. Their findings affect the interpretation of sites in other regions. Although the Examiner articles lack technical details or bibliographies eeded by professional archaeologists and historians, they still will ntroduce the readers to a taste of what is being discovered in the South tlantic and Gulf Coast Region. ave a blessed day! ichard Thornton, Editor S: Grannies!
