Middle And Late Archaic Mortuary Patterning: An Example From The Western Tennessee Valley, Ann L. Magennis
Middle And Late Archaic Mortuary Patterning: An Example From The Western Tennessee Valley, Ann L. Magennis
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the social organization and structure of Middle and Late Archaic populations in the western Tennessee Valley. The stratified Middle and Late Archaic Eva site yielded a temporally sequential skeletal series that allowed for the examination of changes in social and demographic structure through time at a single site. Comparison of the Late Archaic Eva series with the Late Archaic Cherry sample facilitated the examination of spatial differences in these two parameters.
Results of the analysis of mortuary activity indicate that there was little elaboration in the mortuary ritual and that …

Nutrition Publications and Other Works
Summary:
City planners have traditionally made an effort to understand the interrelationships between urban activities and various support systems, such as transportation, water and sewer, waste management, communications and energy. Food is also an important urban support system with a complex system of supply, distribution, and consumption. An understanding of the nature of the food supply and distribution system seems important, but in the past has not been an area of concern for the planning profession. It was the intent of this project to develop a basis from which to seek an understanding of the Knoxville food support system and …

An Analysis Of The Morrow Mountain Component At The Icehouse Bottom Site And A Reassessment Of The Morrow Mountain Complex, Patricia A. Cridlebaugh
An Analysis Of The Morrow Mountain Component At The Icehouse Bottom Site And A Reassessment Of The Morrow Mountain Complex, Patricia A. Cridlebaugh
Masters Theses
Stratified Middle Archaic Stanly and Morrow Mountain components discovered in 1975 at the Icehouse Bottom site (40MR23) in the Little Tennessee River Valley provided data comparable with that reported by Joffre L. Coe (1964) from the North Carolina Piedmont Province. The 1976 excavation of the Howard site (40MR66) in the Little Tennessee River Valley added to that information pertaining to stratified Stanly and Morrow Mountain components in the Ridge and Valley Province of Tennessee.
Analysis of the Morrow Mountain component from Icehouse Bottom is presented in this study; this site is emphasized as a result of the additional and new …
A Zooarchaeological Analysis Of The Mississippian Faunal Remains From The Normandy Reservoir, Neil Douglas Robison
A Zooarchaeological Analysis Of The Mississippian Faunal Remains From The Normandy Reservoir, Neil Douglas Robison
Masters Theses
The faunal remains from the Mississippian components on three archaeological sites (40CF111, 40CF32, and 40CF5) along the Duck River in the Normandy Reservoir, Coffee County, Tennessee, were analyzed for this study. From the three sites combined, 56,664 pieces of bone were examined of which 1,903 were identifiable to at least the family level; a minimum of 18 species of mammals, 5 birds, 7 reptiles, 4 amphibians, and 8 species of fish were represented. In addition, 4,922 identifiable gastropod shells from 12 species and 30 freshwater mussel valves from 4 species were identified from 40CF111 and 40CF32. The faunal species represented …
Prehistoric Settlement And Subsistence Patterns In The Great Smoky Mountains, Quentin R. Bass Ii
Prehistoric Settlement And Subsistence Patterns In The Great Smoky Mountains, Quentin R. Bass Ii
Masters Theses
Data derived from 205 sites located in the 1975 survey (National Park Service Contract Number CX500050211) and the McPherson/Wilburn survey (1936-1941) have defined a cultural prehistory for the Great Smoky Mountains spanning approximately 8,000 years. The Great Smoky Mountains were first occupied, albeit ephemerally, during the Early Archaic period. This was followed by more intensive occupations of the region during the successive broadly-defined Middle Archaic through historic Cherokee phases. The data reflect changing settlement and subsistence patterns during these periods. Study of the temporal and spatial distribution of lithic materials illustrates significant shifts in the utilization of lithic resources. These …

Trade Networks And The Development Of Local Status And Rank In Dallas Society, John G. Sabol Jr.
Trade Networks And The Development Of Local Status And Rank In Dallas Society, John G. Sabol Jr.
Masters Theses
Hatch's (1974) recent analysis of Dallas mortuary patterning, based principally on the distribution of exotic artifacts in Dallas mound burials, has identified and defined a Dallas status and rank system. Hatch and Willey (1974) suggest that this status and rank system linked Dallas sites to one another. This sociopolitical integration was based on kinship affiliations between individuals in the various ramages at Dallas sites.
Hatch and Willey (1974), however, ignore the importance of independently-operating local processes in the development of status and rank in Dallas society. An alternative approach to the study of Dallas culture and social organization is presented …

Social Status, Stature, And Pathology At Chucalissa (40sy1), Shelby County, Tennessee, Ronald K. Robinson
Social Status, Stature, And Pathology At Chucalissa (40sy1), Shelby County, Tennessee, Ronald K. Robinson
Masters Theses
Ethnohistoric and archaeological models have been used in making inferences about social interaction and relationships in Mississippian societies. In spite of an increasing awareness of cultural and biological interrelationships in approaching prehistoric societies, there remains a general lack of skeletal studies which have contributed to or supported these inferences.
The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that socially regulated or defined differences between groups of individuals existed at Chucalissa (40SY1), incorporating both archaeological and skeletal data. The ethnohistoric model of the Natchez social system and Ford's (1974:406) generalization that Mississippian societies were highly stratified due to a …

Specifically, the primary objectives were to identify prevalent viewpoints concerning the role of librarians in relation to such services and to determine the practical needs of the profession to better cope with the new technology. A secondary objective was to experimentally test the effect of two variables on response rate. These variables were perceived prestige of sender and incentive for the respondent.
The survey was a one-shot descriptive research design, involving a …
