• David J. Hally

  Professor Emertius

  dhally@uga.edu

  Research interests:

  My research over the years has focused on the post-A.D. 1000 Mississippian culture of northern Georgia and adjacent portions of Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Within this region and period, my interests range across the entire settlement and socio-political spectrum from individual households to interpolity relations on the regional level.

  Future research will focus on identifying environmental, economic, and political factors that affect polity location and life history. I expect eventually to be able to write a political history for the region beginning with the rise of the first chiefdoms and ending with their demise in the late 16th century.
