Book Contact Colonialism and Native Communities in the Southeastern United States

Download or read book Contact Colonialism and Native Communities in the Southeastern United States written by Edmond A. Boudreaux III and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years AD 1500–1700 were a time of dramatic change for the indigenous inhabitants of southeastern North America, yet Native histories during this era have been difficult to reconstruct due to a scarcity of written records before the eighteenth century. Using archaeology to enhance our knowledge of the period, Contact, Colonialism, and Native Communities in the Southeastern United States presents new research on the ways Native societies responded to early contact with Europeans. Featuring sites from Kentucky to Mississippi to Florida, these case studies investigate how indigenous groups were affected by the expeditions of explorers such as Hernando de Soto, Pánfilo de Narváez, and Juan Pardo. Contributors re-create the social geography of the Southeast during this time, trace the ways Native institutions changed as a result of colonial encounters, and emphasize the agency of indigenous populations in situations of contact. They demonstrate the importance of understanding the economic, political, and social variability that existed between Native and European groups. Bridging the gap between historical records and material artifacts, this volume answers many questions and opens up further avenues for exploring these transformative centuries, pushing the field of early contact studies in new theoretical and methodological directions.

Book Mississippian Mortuary Practices

Download or read book Mississippian Mortuary Practices written by Lynne P. Sullivan and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2010-04-18 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residents of Mississippian towns principally located in the southeastern and midwestern United States from 900 to1500 A.D. made many beautiful objects, which included elaborate and well-crafted copper and shell ornaments, pottery vessels, and stonework. Some of these objects were socially valued goods and often were placed in ritual context, such as graves. The funerary context of these artifacts has sparked considerable study and debate among archaeologists, raising questions about the place in society of the individuals interred with such items, as well as the nature of the societies in which these people lived. By focusing on how mortuary practices serve as symbols of beliefs and values for the living, the contributors to Mississippian Mortuary Practices explore how burial of the dead reflects and reinforces the cosmology of specific cultures, the status of living participants in the burial ceremony, ongoing kin relationships, and other aspects of social organization.

Book An Archaeological Survey of the Lower Albany River Basin

Download or read book An Archaeological Survey of the Lower Albany River Basin written by Patrick J. Julig and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The lower Albany River lies within the Hudson Bay Lowlands, a region generally regarded as being sparsely populated in precontact times. This study utilizes information on faunal distributions, ethnohistorical materials and archaeological data from two surveys conducting in 1981 to re-examine human useage of the lower Albany basin from preceramic times until the late eighteenth century. Twenty prehistoric and several fur trade Historic sites are located. Preliminary testing indicates most prehistoric sites to be aceramic, including several of Archaic affiliation in the vicinity of the relict Tyrrell beach. Site location on the higher river terraces inferred seasonality, indicating that hunting bands may have wintered along select drainages of the interior lowlands. Several generalized seasonal cycles are postulated for the precontact Swampy Cree."--Abstract
