Abstract

Dunham et al. (2003) propose a connection between Late Woodland accretional burial mounds in central Virginia and the historic Monacan Indians. However, the authors’ association of these mounds with the Monacans is not supported by available archaeological or ethnohistoric data.

Resumen

Resumen

Dunham y todos (2003) proponen una conexión entre los monticulos acrecionales de entierro de la época prehistórico “Late Woodland” (“Selva Tarde”) en Virginia central y los indios Monacan, un tribu histórico. Pero, la información arqueológico y etnohistórico disponible no apoya la asociación que hace los autores entre estos montículos y los Monacans.
