The Gettysburg Battlefield, One Century Ago, Benjamin Y. Dixon
The Gettysburg Battlefield, One Century Ago, Benjamin Y. Dixon
Adams County History
In the fall of 1899, Colonel John Nicholson reported on the recent changes being made to the Gettysburg National Military park. The park held a dedication ceremony that July for a new equestrian statue to General John Reynolds erected northwest of town. It was a shiny goldenbrown, polished-bronze statue sculpted by Henry Kirke Bush-Brown (his second equestrian statue at Gettysburg in three years). The horse and rider, balancing on two legs stood on a large pedestal near the new avenue in his name. Reynolds Avenue and adjoining Wadsworth, Doubleday, and Robinson Avenues were new to the battlefield as well. These …
Cultural Atrocity Expressed In Cultural Art, Marlie Mcgovern
Cultural Atrocity Expressed In Cultural Art, Marlie Mcgovern
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
Some of the most horrific chapters in human history have involved an ethnic dimension, notably the centuries-long obliteration of traditional Nigerian cultures by European colonizers, the attempted destruction of European Jews in the Holocaust, and the World War ll decision to assault the Japanese with atomic bombs. The consequences of the above atrocities are not contained within temporal or cultural barriers, but hold profound and pervasive ramifications within contemporary society in its entirety. More recent conflicts in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Balkans reemphasize the horror and suffering brought about by cultural collisions. One of the most potent reactions to …

A Stratified Late Archaic Campsite In A Terrace Of The San Idelfonzo Creek, Webb County, Southern Texas, J. Michael Quigg
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Archeologists from TRC Mariah Associates Inc. of Austin conducted mitigation excavations at the Lino site (41WB437) during a six-week period in April and May 1998 under contract with the Texas Department of Transportation, Environmental Affairs Division. The prehistoric archeological site was within the right-of-way of the planned expansion of Highway 83, south of Laredo. A single 196 m2 block measuring 7 m north-south by 28 m east-west was investigated following requirements of a contract that stipulated a three-pronged approach to data recovery. First, a Gradall™ was employed to carefully strip 2 to 4 cm thick layers in eight 3 m …
The Bryan Hardy Site (41sm55), Smith County, Texas, Mark Walters, Patti Haskins
The Bryan Hardy Site (41sm55), Smith County, Texas, Mark Walters, Patti Haskins
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The authors put on record archeological data obtained by Mr. Walters' late uncle Sam Whiteside from the Bryan Hardy site (41SM55) in Smith County, Texas. Mr. Whiteside was an active avocational archeologist in East Texas during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and he recorded numerous prehistoric sites on Prairie Creek and Ray Creek in Smith County, and the Jamestown (41SM54) and Boxed Springs (41UR30) mound sites on the Sabine River. An abrupt illness in mid-life prevented him from publishing his findings, and we hope that the publication of his investigations at the Bryan Hardy site will allow his work …
Caddo Ceramics From 41cv41a At Fort Hood, Coryell County, Texas, Timothy K. Perttula
Caddo Ceramics From 41cv41a At Fort Hood, Coryell County, Texas, Timothy K. Perttula
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Prehistoric Caddo ceramics made in Northeast Texas after ca. A.D. 900 were widely traded in Texas, and other parts of the Caddoan area, being found in some quantity on North central, East central, central, and inland Southeast Texas archeological sites. They were also traded with prehistoric peoples in the Midwest, the southeastern U.S., and the southern Plains. However, the ceramic evidence for prehistoric Caddoan trade and exchange with other Native Americans has not been systematically compiled and studied for the prehistoric and historic periods. Consequently, it is impossible to confidently discuss the scope, timing, or direction of trade/exchange between Caddoan …
The Frequency Of Fire In East Texas Forests, David H. Jurney, John Ippolito, Velicia Bergstrom
The Frequency Of Fire In East Texas Forests, David H. Jurney, John Ippolito, Velicia Bergstrom
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The debate over the use of fire by Native Americans has been a lively one for many years. Did they or did they not set fires? If they did, how frequently and for what purpose? If not, did they take advantage of naturally occurring fires for the same purposes? If so, how frequently and to what intensity did those natural fires occur? These seem like relatively simple questions that should elicit focused, directed research that would, in tum, produce straightforward answers. In some parts of North America, this has indeed been the case. Ethnographic documentation, corroborated by archaeological research, has …
An Early Caddoan Period Cremation From The Boxed Springs Mound Site (41ur30) In Upshur County, Texas, And A Report On Previous Archaeological Investigations, Timothy K. Perttula, Diane E. Wilson, Mark Walters
An Early Caddoan Period Cremation From The Boxed Springs Mound Site (41ur30) In Upshur County, Texas, And A Report On Previous Archaeological Investigations, Timothy K. Perttula, Diane E. Wilson, Mark Walters
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The Boxed Springs Mound site (41UR30) is one of three major Early Caddoan (ca. A.D. 900- t 200) multiple mound centers in the Sabine River basin of northeastern Texas, the others including the Jamestown (41SM54) and Hudnall-Pirtle (41RK4) sites upstream and downstream, respectively, from Boxed Springs. It is situated on a large and prominent upland ridge projection that extends from a bluff on the Sabine River about 500 m north to where the landform merges with a broader stretch of uplands and Bienville alluvium. Sediments on the site are Trep loamy fine sand, a relatively fertile soil. The site is …

The Caddoan Ceramics From The Gray's Pasture Site (41hs524), Harrison County, Texas, Timothy K. Perttula, Bo Nelson, Mike Turner
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
This paper discusses the Caddoan ceramics recovered during the 1992 Northeast Texas Archeological Society Field School at the Gray's Pasture site (41HS524) on Clark's Creek, a few miles south of Hallsville, Texas and about 2 miles from the Sabine River floodplain. During the course of the excavations, an extensive Caddoan settlement was documented on a series of knolls on a broad terrace landform overlooking the Clark's Creek floodplain, and each of those areas contains Caddoan ceramics. Most notably, a dense concentration of Caddoan ceramics, as well as two burials with whole ceramic vessels, was encountered in the northwestern part of …
Field Report On The Excavation Of Indian Villages In The Vicinity Of The Spiro Mounds, Leflore County, Oklahoma, Kenneth G. Orr
Field Report On The Excavation Of Indian Villages In The Vicinity Of The Spiro Mounds, Leflore County, Oklahoma, Kenneth G. Orr
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
A wealth of strikingly unusual and beautiful objects of Indian manufacture were excavated from the burials of the Spiro Mound, Leflore (sic.) County, Oklahoma during 1936-37. Engraved Gulf Coast conch shells, shell beads of a dozen types, river pearls, effigy pipes, long delicately chipped flint blades, feather and textile cloths and precisely incised pottery vessels were excavated in quantities. So unusual was this material that, at the time, the archaeological science was unable to answer a host of questions which immediately arose concerning the identity of the tribe who had made the artifacts and who were buried with them. How …
Chronometrics At The Norman Site, J. Daniel Rogers, Lois E. Albert, Frank Winchell
Chronometrics At The Norman Site, J. Daniel Rogers, Lois E. Albert, Frank Winchell
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Unfortunately, some of the most significant sites in eastern Oklahoma have been those with the least published information. This is a well-known consequence of the pre-World War II social aid-sponsored excavations that produced large fieldwork projects, but very little in the way of laboratory work or publication. The Norman site, in Wagoner County of eastern Oklahoma, is a major mound center that falls into this category. This report presents a specific orientation to the further analysis of the site, documentation of the available radiocarbon dates, and a few interpretive comments on regional chronology. Although the authors have an interest in …

Current Status Of The Norman Site, 34wg2, Louis E. Vogele Jr.
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
As defined by Finkelstein in his description of excavations at the site, the Norman site currently is completely located within the waters of Fort Gibson Reservoir, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) lake on the Grand (Neosho) River in northeastern Oklahoma. Due to a combination of archeological excavations at the site during the 1930s and 1940s, pothunting, large-scale earthmoving activities associated with the construction of a nearby highway bridge, and approximately 50 years of wave action and seasonal inundation by Fort Gibson Reservoir, portions of Mounds I-1 and I-2 are all that remain of the Norman site.

It is on the upper terraces on the west side of Grand River just north of the approach to the new bridge. Principal mound is a double unit; the larger mound, clearly visible from the highway, is conical, 27' high and 90' in diameter; the low mound, on the north, is circular, 7' high and 100' in diameter; a low, broad saddle 12' long connects the 2 mounds. An extensive habitation area, Unit IV, extends to the north and northeast of Mound I-2. Unit …
Notes On The Mollusca From Site 41dt59, Cooper Lake, Delta County, Texas, Jesse Todd
Notes On The Mollusca From Site 41dt59, Cooper Lake, Delta County, Texas, Jesse Todd
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
This paper focuses on the information about the mollusca from site 41DT59. The author takes the information from Dr. Fullington, the noted malacologist, and illustrates how the archeologist can take the information and apply it to site analysis. This information derived from the analysis mainly supports what the authors have concluded about site 41DT59, but does discuss material not covered in the original text. The analysis is divided into two sections. The information derived from the gastropods is discussed first, and the information derived from the mussels second.
