    Little Bangs on the Tombigbee: Chronologies of Emergence
    (Cambridge University Press, 2025) Charles R. Cobb; Anthony M. Krus; Edmond A. Boudreaux; Brad R. Lieb; Domenique C. Sorresso; John H. Blitz
    Abstract The notions of “emergence” and “becoming” have become widely adopted in relational studies in archaeology, but their definition and application remain nebulous. We advocate a middle-range approach to the incorporation of these related concepts into the study of migration and pronounced cultural shifts. Our study relies on the Bayesian modeling of a significant corpus of radiocarbon dates from Mississippian sites in the Tombigbee Valley of southeastern North America. This investigation has identified the likelihood of two broad migration episodes that we hypothesize are related to cultural rephrasings of landscape and temporality.
