The impetus of culture appears to have flowed in from the north 

 and northeast with the earliest of the Algonquian cultures and to have 

 met an oncoming impetus out of the south and southeast just beyond 

 the bordere of Virginia and North Carolina. Instead of the commin- 

 gling of cultures, there was a sharp rebound or backwash enrichening 

 of the two cultures as they retraced their way northward and south- 

 ward. The cultures of southern Virginia showed this definite trait in 

 that there was further refinement that is not manifest in those cultures 

 to the north of the area under study. All of this took place before the 

 depredations of the Iroquoian groups while on excursions in this area 

 and the areas to the west within the Shenandoah Valley. 



Archeological evidence bears out the statements made by early trav- 

 elers that the area was very scantily settled by Indians when visited 

 by wliite men. Apparently this whole portion of the Koanoke Valley 

 was practically deserted for reasons not manifest within the remains 

 of their various settlements.
