摘要

Researchers debate the function of Late Archaic (ca. 2550 to 1800 cal BC) shell rings found along the coast of the southeastern United States. Numerous facets of archaeological assemblages have been investigated to resolve this debate; however, zooarchaeological collections, a key line of evidence towards understanding human behaviors resulting in the formation of these sites, often are ignored. To inform functional interpretations of shell rings, I examine and compare several measures of vertebrate collections from three discrete segments of the St. Catherines Shell Ring (9LI231), St. Catherines Island, Georgia, as well as collections from features in the interior of the ring. There are similarities among collections from different segments of this ring, indicating that formational processes were similar throughout the ring. Zooarchaeological collections from features within the interior of the ring differ from those collections of the ring itself. This suggests that activities within the interior of the ring differed from those leading to the ring's formation. These data, interpreted within current shell ring models, suggest that the St. Catherines Shell Ring formed gradually as village refuse accumulated. Evidence from zooarchaeological collections do not support models suggesting this ring formed through rapid accumulation from feasts or displays of social inequality.
