CHAPTER 18 MAIZE AND VILLAGES: A Summary and Critical Assessment of Current Northeast Early Late Prehistoric Evidence John P. Hart and Bernard K. Means INTRODUCTION Throughout much of the Northeast, the early Late Prehistoric period (A.D. 700-1300) is the time when evidence for subsistence and settlement traits of Native societies described by early European explorers first appears in the archaeological record. Except in the far north, these traits include maize-based agriculture and comparatively large nucleated villages. Our knowledge of these traits grew considerably during the last few decades of the twentieth century, the result of the increased use of flotation recovery for macrobotanical remains, the development of paleoethnobotany, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating on crop remains, stable carbon isotope analysis (SCIA) of human bone, large-scale cultural resource management excavations, a renewed interest in museum collections, and developments in method and theory. All of these are reflected in the chapters of the present volume. VILLAGES AND MAIZE AGRICULTURE Throughout the last half of the twentieth century, settlement pattern studies grew increasingly sophisticated and diversified with approaches that examined patterning: on the regional level, with, for example, analyses of the distribution of archaeological sites and other remnants of human behavior with respect to each other and the natural landscape; and on the intrasite level, with analyses of the archaeology of the household, mortuary behavior, and natural and cultural formation processes. Such studies have shown that the constituent components of an individual site can be examined to better understand the site as a whole. However, it has been recently argued that the study of the community as an entity in and of itself has been largely ignored in many settlement pattern and household archaeology studies (Yaeger and Canuto 2000). That is, many studies on the regional level are viewed as having become too reductionist, with sites becoming mere functional nodes in a larger settlement system. Studies on the intrasite level are said to emphasize the analysis of individual site attributes to the detriment of integrating them into a larger community system. That these criticisms are broadly applicable could be disputed by archaeologists working in Mesoamerica, southwestern North America, and, increasingly, southeastern North America. Unfortunately, these criticisms still hold considerable validity in characterizing archaeological research throughout the Northeast (but see, e.g., Knapp, this volume; Means, this volume; Miroff, this volume; Timmons 1997). While reviewing the current state of the archaeology of the Iroquoian groups in New York State, for example, Prezzano (1996:8) attributed the limited number of studies at the community level to a focus on site-locational models and nonspatial ceramic attribute studies, with the latter emphasizing construction of local chronological sequences. Coupled with a lack of well-excavated and broadly exposed sites, she suggested that archaeologists studying northern Iroquoian cultural developments do not see “that changes within community organization not only reflect sociopolitical transformation within a region but are the roots of such changes” (Prezzano 1996:8). Maize becomes increasingly frequent on archaeological sites across the East, dating to the period A.D. 900- 1500 (Smith 1992:292), reflecting the establishment, Northeast Subsistence-Settlement Change: A.D. 700–1300 by John P.
