Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This multi-author volume reflects on the history and continuity of zooarchaeology in North America and honors one of its most notable contemporary contributors, Walter E. Klippel. Klippel came to the University of Tennessee in 1977 as an assistant professor of anthropology and, over the next forty years, mentored countless students, published more than fifty journal articles and book chapters, and assembled a zooarchaeological comparative collection of national significance. Developed by friends, students, and colleagues of the professor, this wide-ranging collection of essays is organized by the prevailing themes of Klippel's career, including geological and landscape contexts, taphonomy, and the incorporation of actualistic methodologies and new technologies into zooarchaeological analyses. The diversity of topics alone suggests how extensive Klippel's research interests have been and how much contemporary zooarchaeology owes to his vision. Seeking to extend and not only celebrate that vision, the contributors also turn to explore new uses for the zooarchaeological framework in nontraditional settings. Foreword by Bonnie W. Styles and R. Bruce McMillan"--

Download or read book The Cannon Reservoir Human Ecology Project written by Michael J. O'Brien and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cannon Reservoir Human Ecology Project: An Archaeological Study of Cultural Adaptations in the Southern Prairie Peninsula provides an overview of the Cannon Reservoir Human Ecology Project, formed in May 1977 as an interdisciplinary, regional archaeology program to investigate human adaptations on the southern fringes of the mid-continental Prairie Peninsula. The research centered on the area of northeastern Missouri in and around the site of the proposed Clarence Cannon Dam and Reservoir. The book demonstrates how objectives and goals have been integrated with various methods and techniques to generate and analyze a vast amount of data in a regional archaeological project. Comprised of 18 chapters, this book first defines the objectives and goals of the project, describes the project area, and discusses the research design. A brief history of archaeological work in the region is also presented. The next section assesses the environment and implications for human settlement in the area, citing various physical and cultural changes that occurred during the Holocene and presenting developmental models of prehistoric and historical settlement systems. Subsequent chapters explore the chronology of the project area; analysis of lithic artifacts and vertebrate and archaeobotanical remains; prehistoric community patterns; and prehistoric and historic settlement patterns. This monograph will appeal to students, specialists, and researchers in the fields of archaeology and anthropology.
Download or read book The Prehistory of Missouri written by Michael John O'Brien and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prehistory of Missouri is a fascinating examination of the objects that were made, used, and discarded or lost by Missouri's prehistoric inhabitants over a period of more than eleven thousand years. Missouri's numerous vegetation zones and its diverse topography encompassed extreme variations, forcing prehistoric populations to seek a wide range of adaptations to the natural environment. As a result, Missouri's archaeological record is highly complex, and it has not been fully understood despite the vast amount of fieldwork that has been conducted within the state's borders. In this groundbreaking account, Michael J. O'Brien and W. Raymond Wood explore the array of artifacts that have been found in Missouri, pinpointing minute variations in form. They have documented the ranges in age and distribution of the individual forms, explaining why certain forms persisted while others quickly disappeared. Organized by chronological periods such as Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian, the book provides a comprehensive survey of what is currently known about Missouri's prehistoric peoples, often revealing how they made their living in an ever-changing world. The authors have applied rigorous standards of archaeological inquiry. Their main objective--demonstrating that the archaeological record of Missouri can be explained in scientific terms--is accomplished. With more than 235 line drawings and photographs, including 23 color photos, The Prehistory of Missouri will appeal to anyone interested in archaeology, particularly in the artifacts and the dates of their manufacture, as well as those interested in the dichotomy between interpretation and explanation. Intended for the amateur as well as the professional archaeologist, this book is sure to be the new standard reference on Missouri's prehistory, fulfilling current needs that extend beyond those met by Carl Chapman's earlier classic, The Archaeology of Missouri.
