Book Archaeology on the Great Plains

Download or read book Archaeology on the Great Plains written by W. Raymond Wood and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 1998-07-29 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to central Canada, North America's great interior grasslands were home to nomadic hunters and semisedentary farmers for almost 11,500 years before the arrival of Euro-American settlers. Pan-continental trade between these hunters and horticulturists helped make the lifeways of Plains Indians among the richest and most colorful of Native Americans. This volume is the first attempt to synthesize current knowledge on the cultural history of the Great Plains since Wedel's Prehistoric Man on the Great Plains became the standard reference on the subject almost forty years ago. Fourteen authors have undertaken the task of examining archaeological phenomena through time and by region to present a systematic overview of the region's human history. Focusing on habitat and cultural diversity and on the changing archaeological record, they reconstruct how people responded to the varying environment, climate, and biota of the grasslands to acquire the resources they needed to survive. The contributors have analyzed archaeological artifacts and other evidence to present a systematic overview of human history in each of the five key Plains regions: Southern, Central, Middle Missouri, Northeastern, and Northwestern. They review the Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Woodland, and Plains Village peoples and tell how their cultural traditions have continued from ancient to modern times. Each essay covers technology, diet, settlement, and adaptive patterns to give readers an understanding of the differences and similarities among groups. The story of Plains peoples is brought into historical focus by showing the impacts of Euro-American contact, notably acquisition of the horse and exposure to new diseases. Featuring 85 maps and illustrations, Archaeology on the Great Plains is an exceptional introduction to the field for students and an indispensable reference for specialists. It enhances our understanding of how the Plains shaped the adaptive strategies of peoples through time and fosters a greater appreciation for their cultures.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archeological site 140S347, the Cow-Killer site, is an important multicomponent prehistoric archeological site that was discovered during removal of fill from a highway borrow area in conjunction with the realignment of highway U.S. 75 in Osage county, Kansas. The site is located on the left or north side of the Marais des Cygnes river on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer land just downstream from Melvern dam. Cultural materials attributable to at least three temporally distinct prehistoric cultures have been identified in the site area. The earliest cultural level represented is an Archaic period component that was buried 9 to 12 1/2 ft below the original ground surface. Test excavations performed in this deposit revealed the presence of a stratified level which yielded stone lined fire hearths, basin-shaped and trash-filled pits, postmolds, chipped and ground stone tools, animal bone, stone debitage, charcoal, a few charred seeds and burned earth. On the basis of distinctive chipped stone bifaces and points, an affiliation with the Munkers Creek phase is suggested. A date of circa 3,000 B.C. is suggested. The second oldest cultural zone recognized, and the focus of this report, is a stratified Plains Woodland component of the Greenwood phase which is dated within the latter part of the Early Ceramic period.
