The Tennessee Division of Archaeology maintains a database of all archaeological sites recorded within the state of Tennessee. As of January 1, 2009 this catalog contains more than 22,000 sites, including both prehistoric and historic resources. In Tennessee, ''Prehistoric'' is generally defined as the time between the appearance of the first people in the region (c. 12,000 BC) and the arrival of the first European explorers (c. 1540 AD). The ''Historic'' period begins after the arrival of those Europeans and continues to the present. Both these periods are further divided into subperiods and phases using established archaeological conventions for the region.〔Site data on file, Tennessee Division of Archaeology Site Survey Record, Nashville〕 The following list of archaeological sites in Tennessee encompasses sites that have either contributed substantially or have the potential to contribute substantially to research regarding people who have lived in what is now Tennessee. Note that a ''historical'' site is not necessarily an ''archaeological'' site. According to the Tennessee Division of Archaeology Site Survey Record, official site numbers are generally assigned to historic sites only if artifacts and/or historic documentation for that site support a pre–1933 date. Historical sites are included in the following list only if actual field work has been conducted at the site. The term ''cultural affiliation'' refers to the archaeological period when a site was created and/or occupied. Many sites were occupied during more than one archaeological period, and are therefore known as ''multicomponent.'' An example of a multicomponent site would be American Civil War earthworks constructed at the same location as a prehistoric Mississippian village. The ''cultural affiliation'' category in the list below refers only to periods in which the most significant occupation or event (e.g., a battle) took place at the site. Archaeological sites recorded in Tennessee are assigned ''State Trinomials'' consisting of letter and number combinations that indicate the state and county where the site is found, and includes a sequential number identifying the specific site. For example, the trinomial 40DV11 designates the eleventh archaeological site recorded in Davidson County (DV) , Tennessee (40) . Legend for cultural affiliations: * Paleoindian〔Although the Wikipedia entry for Paleoindian inserts a hyphen into the word, accepted scientific and archaeological nomenclature omits this punctuation; see links under Resources below for correct usage.〕 — roughly 12,000 BC (and possibly earlier) to 8000 BC * Archaic — c. 8000 BC to 1000 BC * Woodland — c. 1000 BC - 1000 AD * Mississippian — c. 900 to 1600 * Cherokee — affiliated with proto-historic and historic Cherokee occupation (c. 1600-1800) * British colonial — affiliated with Euro-American expansion, pre-1776. * American — affiliated with Euro-American occupation or events post-1776 The sites are listed alphabetically by county. ==Anderson County== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of archaeological sites in Tennessee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
