Collection Of Dalton Points From Yell County, Arkansas, Robert L. Brooks

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The hypothesis that projectile points serve functions other than use as a head for a missile was examined by Morse and Goodyear in regard to Dalton points. The writer reexamined this hypothesis in light of a significant collection of Dalton points from Yell County, Arkansas, and further substantiates the hypothesis formulated by Morse and tested by Goodyear.

A Functional Interpretation Of Pottery From Batan Island, Philippines, Joanne M. Laetsch

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is a report on a pottery analysis which was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Anthropology at Portland State University. The earthenware materials involved were collected from three surface sites on Batan Island, Philippines, during the summer of 1969.

The interpretation of these potteries was based upon the direct-historical approach to archaeological research. The use of this method was proposed after a cursory examination of the earthenwares revealed certain general similarities between the archaeological potteries and the ethnographically-known wares produced in the area at the present time. One of the sites was a known habitation, …

The 46th Street Site And The Occurrence Of Allegan Ware In Southwestern Michigan, Margaret B. Rogers

Masters Theses

The 46th Street site is located on a steep bank twenty feet above the Kalamazoo River in the Allegan State Forest in Allegan County, Michigan. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the site was occupied about A. D. 1200. The settlement pattern and ecological data for the 46th Street site points to the conclusion that this was a winter hunting camp of the Chippewa type. A comparison of the pottery from the 46th Street site with the pottery from the Fenneville site which is located in Manilus Twonship, Allegan County and dates from about A. D. 700, yields some interferences about variation …

Some Interactions In The Evolution Of Man And Tools, Gary W. Weston

All Master's Theses

This paper looks at some of the interactions between the development of tools and the evolution of man and his ancestors. It begins with a brief history of life up to the primates as a foundation. Next the use of tools by other animals is examined followed by the coverage of the period of time from Australopithecus to Modern Man showing the interweaving of physical and mental evolution of man and the development and refinement in his physical tools. Lastly, a look at possible future interactions in the physical and mental evolutionary developments in man as influenced by his tools …

The Littlefork Burial: New Light On Old Copper, Jack Steinbring

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

A richly furnished child burial of late Old Copper affiliation in Northern Minnesota is described. The mortuary offerings include a pair of large, decorated bone harpoons, and a pair of diagnostic Old Copper projectile points attached to dart shafts. The primary burial is flexed in a shallow pit with evidence of red ochre. Typological comparisons suggest a tentative date of 1,000 to 750 B.C.

Reconstruction Of An Arkansas Hopewellian Panpipe, Gloria A. Young

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Panpipes have been found in North America only on Hopewell sites. A particularly well preserved specimen from the Helena Crossing Site was described by James A. Ford. From this description a reconstruction which produced a true octave was made from native cane. Since the panpipe is a more primitive instrument than the flutes in use during Hopewell florescence, it is postulated that this instrument was used by shamans in the cult of ancestor worship.

Archeological Investigation Of Bayou Bartholomew, 1969, Martha Ann Rolingson

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Archeological investigation along Bayou Bartholomew in Ashley County was initiated with the primary objective of establishing a chronological sequence of prehistoric cultures. This paper reports the first season of fieldwork. Emphasis was placed on locating sites and obtaining adequate surface collections while only two sites were tested. The different types of sites and their relationship to the Bayou Bartholomew channels are discussed. Prehistoric occupations from four general periods are outlined, including late Archaic, early to middle Woodland, late Woodland and Mississippi.

Classification Of Some European Trade Beads From Louisiana And Mississippi, John B. Huner

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The sources of trade beads found in archeological sites in North American may be discovered through a system of bead classification. Typology should be based on shape, size, materials, color and translucency, decoration, and method of manufacture. A chronology can then be established. Ethnological data may reveal European contact and intertribal trade.

Birch Lake Burial Mound Group, Elden Johnson, Martin Q. Peterson, Jan E. Streiff

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Five small prehistoric burial mounds located near Birch Lake on Prairie Island in Goodhue county of southeastern Minnesota were excavated in 1968. The secondary burial of adults in shallow pits and unaccompanied by mortuary offerings follows widespread prehistoric patterns in the upper Mississippi valley. The mortuary pottery vessel buried with the single primary burial suggests construction of the mounds during the period of initial Mississippian cultural intrusion, perhaps shortly after 1,000 A.D.

Analysis Of Unmodified Stone Materials From The Cambria Site, Charles R. Watrall

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Analysis of the stone materials from the Cambria Site reinforces cultural implications about the site made on formal artifact analysis alone. Secondly, the paper illustrates a simple means of analysis to gain vital information on archaeological site culture history.

An Archaeological Survey Of Goshen Valley, Utah County, Central Utah, Leland Gilsen

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a field report on the archaeological sites surveyed by the author in Goshen Valley, Utah County, Utah. The survey has the threefold objectives of: (1) surveying and recording of sites in Goshen Valley; (2) providing information on the material culture of the ancient inhabitants of the valley; and (3) discovering whether there was a dividing line during the Fremont occupation between the Provo and Sevier regions as outlined by Jones (1961), Green (1964), and Ambler (1966).

To this end, seventy-four sites are described along with the related material culture with an analysis of the material culture in …

A Pilot Study Of Wichita Indian Archeology And Ethnohistory, Robert E. Bell, Edward B. Jelks, W., W. Newcombe

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In 1965 several anthropologists drew up plans for a one-year pilot study of the archeology and ethnohistory of the Wichita Indian tribes. After financial support had been generously provided by the National Science Foundation, the proposed research was carried out. This is a report on the results of that study.

The pilot study was designed to: a) obtain a body of field data from the components of the Spanish Fort sites, the largest and best=documented of the historic Wichita sites in the Red River area; b) make test excavations at several other sites in order that a problem=oriented program of …

A Preliminary Report On The Itasca Bison Site, Creighton T. Shay

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In the summer of 1937 excavations conducted by the University of Minnesota Anthropology Department in Itasca State Park yielded extinct bison and other animal remains along with several stone artifacts. A preliminary notice was published in Science shortly after excavation was completed (Jenks, 193 7). The bones were extracted from a marl layer underlying a peat bog near the south end of the west arm of Lake Itasca. The deposit was discovered during construction of a road bridge over Nicollet Creek adjacent to the site. Material in the following report was assembled from unpublished field notes and records on file …

The Archeology Of The Lime Creek Site In Southwestern Nebraska, E. Mott Davis

University of Nebraska State Museum: Staff and Affiliates, Publications

The Lime Creek site is a stratified Early Lithic (Paleo-Indian) camp site buried in the Terrace-2A alluvial fill of a valley in the dissected loess plains. Geological correlations indicate an early Valders (Wisconsin- IV) date. A radiocarbon date (No. C-471) of 9524 B.P. from just below Lime Creek I, the lowest occupation zone, must be taken only as a minimal possible age for the site. The animal bones in Lime Creek I are primarily of pronghorn and beaver, whereas those in Lime Creek III, the highest occupation zone, are exclusively of bison. The change in hunting patterns seems due to …
