In 1889 the Bureau of Ethnology began systematic archeologic explorations on the Atlantic slope
of the United States, the initial work being in the tidewater territory of Maryland and Virginia.
While this work was in progress it became apparent that a clear understanding of the culture phenomena
of this province required an examination of the Piedmont-Appalachian highland of Virginia, Maryland,
and West Virginia.
Accordingly, Mr Gerard Fowke, formerly associated with Dr Cyrus Thomas in the exploration of the
great mound region of the Mississippi valley, was directed to take up the survey of this section.
The summers of 1891 and 1892 (and until the summer of 1893) were devoted by Mr Fowke mainly
to James, Shenandoah, and neighboring valleys, and the accompanying report embodies the principal
results of his work. His explorations included all the territory within 5 miles of the James, on each side,
from Cape Henry almost to the head of its ultimate tributaries ; both sides of the Potomac from the mouth
of the Monocacy to Cumberland; the entire area of every county drained by the Shenandoah and the
South branch of the Potomac ; all of Orange county, with portions of the adjoining counties, and
several counties along the Appomattox and upper Eoanoke. The report on the latter region, as also
that of the tidewater country, is reserved for another paper.
A brief sketch of particularly interesting features of the investigation was published in the
American Anthropologist for January, 1893.
Mr Fowke was instructed to seek means of identifying
the tribes formerly occupying the region and of demonstrating their relations to the tidewater peoples
on the one hand and to the inhabitants of Ohio valley on the other.
