Eastern Woodlands Radiocarbon Compilation

This is a page I've created simply to store links to online sources of radiocarbon data and references for published compilations. As I discussed briefly in this blog post, I'm interested in a assembling a pan-Eastern Woodlands radiocarbon dataset that can be used to evaluate the idea of an abandonment of the Southeast at the end of the Early Archaic period. If you know of additional sources that I don't have listed, please let me know by commenting here. Thanks!
