Book Oneota Ceramic Continuity

Download or read book Oneota Ceramic Continuity written by Olivia S. Parshall and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to explore the continuity of Oneota ceramics across a vast area of cultural expansion. There are many recognizable traits exhibited within Oneota lifeway's, subsistence, and settlement patterns; many of which must have required a significant amount of community organization. What cultural significance did these pots have? How did the decorative strategies achieve institutions of power, influence, and conformity? I am going to suggest that the ceramic expressions of Oneota groups were a methodical and purposeful effort to expand influence and power.

Book Analysis of Stylistic Attributes on Oneota Pottery from the Pammel Creek Site  La Crosse  Wisconsin

Download or read book Analysis of Stylistic Attributes on Oneota Pottery from the Pammel Creek Site La Crosse Wisconsin written by Jill M. Kotwasinski and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the shell tempered Oneota pottery from the Pammel Creek site in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The Oneota lived in the area from A.D. 1300-1650. This investigation analyzed trail markings on Oneota ceramics to try to identify if different vessels at different locations within the same site can be matched based on their tool shape and size. This data shows that the Oneota at this site did not have individuals specializing in ceramic manufacture, however there were a few individuals making multiple vessels.

Book Iowa s Archaeological Past

Download or read book Iowa s Archaeological Past written by Lynn Marie Alex and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iowa has more than eighteen thousand archaeological sites, and research in the past few decades has transformed our knowledge of the state's human past. Drawing on the discoveries of many avocational and professional scientists, Lynn Alex describes Iowa's unique archaeological record as well as the challenges faced by today's researchers, armed with innovative techniques for the discovery and recovery of archaeological remains and increasingly refined frameworks for interpretation. The core of this book -- which includes many historic photographs and maps as well as numerous new maps and drawings and a generous selection of color photos -- explores in detail what archaeologists have learned from studying the state's material remains and their contexts. Examining the projectile points, potsherds, and patterns that make up the archaeological record, Alex describes the nature of the earliest settlements in Iowa, the development of farming cultures, the role of the environment and environmental change, geomorphology and the burial of sites, interaction among native societies, tribal affiliation of early historic groups, and the arrival and impact of Euro-Americans. In a final chapter, she examines the question of stewardship and the protection of Iowa's many archaeological resources.

Book Punctate Variation Among the La Crosse Area Oneota Ceramics After the 1500s

Download or read book Punctate Variation Among the La Crosse Area Oneota Ceramics After the 1500s written by Kittrel Strunk Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In observing the ceramic assemblage of State Road (LC34176) at the Mississippi Valley Archaeological Center, I identified unrecognized stylistic variations among the decorated sherds present. While other studies have examined the larger picture, this analysis narrows the focus to variations within punctates in relation to motifs. Each sherd was visually examined for variations in tool use, punctates, trail marks, and rim decoration. The study revealed that variation in punctates was due to tool choice, application, and motif. In addition, V-Filler/Chevron motifs were typically created with a sharp tool, whereas the Repeating Rectangle motif was primarily composed of a blunt tool. These numerous variations, described as isochrestic and symbolic variation, indicate that variation among punctates is due to individual expression and human agency. Through graphs and visual observations, variations among punctates in Oneota pottery reveal a group of people who wished to express themselves outside of the larger material culture.

Book Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes

Download or read book Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes written by Richard W. Edwards IV and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enormous changes affected the inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands area during the eleventh through fifteenth centuries AD. At this time many groups across this area (known collectively to archaeologists as Oneota) were aggregating and adopting new forms of material culture and food technology. This same period also witnessed an increase in intergroup violence, as well as a rise in climatic volatility with the onset of the Little Ice Age. In Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes, Richard W. Edwards explores how the inhabitants of the western Great Lakes region responded to the challenges of climate change, social change, and the increasingly violent physical landscape. As a case study, Edwards focuses on a group living in the Koshkonong Locality in what is now southeastern Wisconsin. Edwards contextualizes Koshkonong within the larger Oneota framework and in relation to the other groups living in the western Great Lakes and surrounding regions. Making use of a canine surrogacy approach, which avoids the destruction of human remains, Edwards analyzes the nature of groups’ subsistence systems, the role of agriculture, and the risk-management strategies that were developed to face the challenges of their day. Based on this analysis, Edwards proposes how the inhabitants of this region organized themselves and how they interacted with neighboring groups. Edwards ultimately shows how the Oneota groups were far more agricultural than previously thought and also demonstrates how the maize agriculture of these groups was related to the structure of their societies. In bringing together multiple lines of archaeological evidence into a unique synthesis, Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes is an innovative book that will appeal to archaeologists who study the Midwest and surrounding regions, and it will also appeal to those who research risk management, agriculture, and the development of hierarchical societies more generally.

Download or read book Kansas Archaeology written by Robert J. Hoard and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Kanorado to Pawnee villages, Kansas is a land rich in archaeological sites--nearly 12,000 known-that testify to its prehistoric heritage. This volume presents the first comprehensive overview of Kansas archaeology in nearly fifty years, containing the most current descriptions and interpretations of the state's archaeological record. Building on Waldo Wedel's classic Introduction to Kansas Archaeology, it synthesizes more than four decades of research and discusses all major prehistoric time periods in one readily accessible resource. In Kansas Archaeology, a team of distinguished contributors, all experts in their fields, synthesize what is known about the human presence in Kansas from the age of the mammoth hunters, circa 10,000 B.C., to Euro-American contact in the mid-nineteenth century. Covering such sites as Kanorado-one of the oldest in the Americas-the authors review prehistoric peoples of the Paleoarchaic era, Woodland cultures, Central Plains tradition, High Plains Upper Republican culture, Late Prehistoric Oneota, and Great Bend peoples. They also present material on three historic cultures: Wichita, Kansa, and Pawnee. The findings presented here shed new light on issues such as how people adapted to environmental shifts and the impact of technological innovation on social behavior. Included also are chapters on specialized topics such as plant use in prehistory, sources of stone for tool manufacture, and the effects of landscape evolution on sites. Chapters on Kansas culture history also reach into the surrounding region and offer directions for future inquiry. More than eighty illustrations depict a wide range of artifacts and material remains. An invaluable resource for archaeologists and students, Kansas Archaeology is also accessible to interested laypeople--anyone needing a summary of the material remains that have been found in Kansas. It demonstrates the major advances in our understanding of Kansas prehistory that have applications far beyond its borders and point the way toward our future understanding of the past.
