The Contact Period in Eastern North America was a period of mutual two-way interactions in which societies on both sides of the Atlantic were dramatically transformed. While studies have detailed changes in lithic technologies brought about by the deerskin trade, there are few if any studies that have specifically focused on how living within a landscape of slaving, warfare, and disease may have influenced the proficiency of stone tool production within specific communities of practice. In this dissertation, a community of practice approach is employed to identify expressions of coalescence and variability in stone tool production from Cherokee household archaeological contexts in the Southern Appalachian region of North America. These are considered within the backdrop of a shifting political economy and reorganization of community that was occurring during the Contact Period. Specifically, this research seeks to discover how increasing Native American participation in the transatlantic deerskin and Indian slave trade, in turn, instigated changes in Cherokee household lithic tool production activities. To address such concerns, this research focuses on the artifact assemblages recovered from five Contact Period Cherokee houses (circa AD 1650-1740) excavated in western North Carolina as part of the Ravensford Archaeological Project. A spatial analysis of the lithic assemblages finds that the production of small multi-functional bifaces was segregated to potentially socially prescribed spaces within these structures. Signatures of skill identified through an experimental study designed to reproduce chipped stone tool bifaces are used as the basis of a comparative intersite analysis between earlier Mississippian and later Cherokee assemblages within the broader region. The results indicate that the later assemblages appear to display a material signature of a community of practice that during the production of chipped-stone bifaces, produced a debitage assemblage similar to those associated with novice flintknappers. Variability in tool manufacture appears to be more related to the proficiency of producing stone tools, rather than the process of production (chaine operatoire) which remained unchanged. The results suggest that demographic collapse during the Contact Period may have disrupted communities of practice, tacit knowledge acquisition, and the mentorship of flintknapping apprentices.
