본 연구는 남북전쟁 이전 미국 루이지애나주 레드강 유역의 취락발달과정을 다루었다. 당시 프런티어에 들어선 우체국은 초기 기능지역의 결절점을 형성하였는데, 본 연구는 우체국의 업무기록에 수록된 통계자료를 바탕으로 우체국취락의 발달과정을 계층구조의 변화에 중점을 두고 접근하였다. 연구는 취락계층이 정보유통량에 비례한다는 가설을 전제로 수행하였다. 자료를 분석한 결과 크게 두 가지 사실을 확인하였는데, 초장기 취락발달이 배후지역으로의 확장을 특징으로 한 반면, 시대를 내려오면서 취락내부에 계층적 분화가 심화되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 구조 변화의 주원인은 무엇보다 세계체제내에서 유럽과 미국 북동부 섬유산업의 원료로 이용되는 면화경제의 발달이었다.

The estimation of the Last Interglacial sea level was made by using the thalassostatic terrace which had been developed in the lower reach of Namdaechon river in Kangneung, eastern coastal area of Korea. The fluvial terraces, which have been developed since late Pleistocene, were investigated. The main findings were as follows; 1) That Kangneung terrace I had been formed in the climax period of the Last Interglacial (Oxygen isotope stage 5e) was revealed. It was estimated that Kangneung terrace II had been formed during a certain warmer period between the climax period of the Last Interglacial and the early Last Glacial(probably Oxygen isotope stage 5c or 5a). 2) Being judged from the relative heights of the Kangneung terrace I and II, the sea levels of the formation periods of these terraces were estimated to have been relatively 17~20m and l0m higher than the present sea level, respectively. 3) The formation periods of the Wangsan terrace I and II were supposed to be the early and late Last Glacial respectively, being judged from the following 3 details ; a) the characteristics of the terrace deposits, b) the relation Wangsan terrace II to the buried valley floor, and c) the cross phenomena of the above two terraces to the Kangneung terraces. 4) The formation period of the pseudogleyed red soil in the Kangneung terrace I was estimated to be the middle or late period of the Last Interglacial.
