摘要

Postcolonial resource use in the historic southeastern United States often left scars on the landscape that impact and exacerbate the effects of modern climate change. Case studies of degenerative agricultural and silviculture practices in European and American colonial and postcolonial Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana illustrate the often irrevocable nature of landscape modification. Historical archaeologists are called upon to better elucidate how early human actions first affected local and regional environments in ways that continue to reverberate in the present day.
