1992 xviii+ 390 pp. (2 volumes) 223 figs., 59 tables, 4 appdx.
The results of archaeological evaluation at 23 sites along a transect spanning the James-Chickahominy River divide are described in detail. Virtually the full range of temporal periods and site types are represented. Particularly noteworthy are a Paleoindian site overlooking the Chickahominy floodplain, an outlier of the Native-American village of Arrohateck in the James River floodplain (depicted on Capt. John Smith's map), Archaic and Woodland occupations on interior drainages, and sites of Civil War defenses around Richmond.
