Book Late Woodland Societies

Download or read book Late Woodland Societies written by Thomas E. Emerson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists across the Midwest have pooled their data and perspectives to produce this indispensable volume on the Native cultures of the Late Woodland period (approximately A.D. 300?1000). Sandwiched between the well-known Hopewellian and Mississippian eras of monumental mound construction, theøLate Woodland period has received insufficient attention from archaeologists, who have frequently characterized it as consisting of relatively drab artifact assemblages. The close connections between this period and subsequent Mississippian and Fort Ancient societies, however, make it especially valuable for cross-cultural researchers. Understanding the cultural processes at work during the Late Woodland period will yield important clues about the long-term forces that stimulate and enhance social inequality. Late Woodland Societies is notable for its comprehensive geographic coverage; exhaustive presentation and discussion of sites, artifacts, and prehistoric cultural practices; and critical summaries of interpretive perspectives and trends in scholarship. The vast amount of information and theory brought together, examined, and synthesized by the contributors produces a detailed, coherent, and systematic picture of Late Woodland lifestyles across the Midwest. The Late Woodland can now be seen as a dynamic time in its own right and instrumental to the emergence of complex late prehistoric cultures across the Midwest and Southeast.

Download or read book Killarney Bay written by David S. Brose and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archaeological site at Killarney Bay, on the northeast side of Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada, has attracted and mystified archaeologists for decades. The quantities of copper artifacts, exotic cherts, and long-distance trade goods all highlight the importance of the site during its time of occupation. Yet researchers have struggled to date the site or assign it to a particular cultural tradition, since the artifacts and mortuary components do not precisely match those of other sites and assemblages in the Upper Great Lakes. The history of archaeological investigation at Killarney Bay stretches across parts of three centuries and involves field schools from universities in two countries (Laurentian University in Canada and the University of Michigan in the United States). This volume pulls together the results from all prior research at the site and represents the first comprehensive report ever published on the excavations and finds at Killarney Bay. Heavily illustrated.

Book The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan

Download or read book The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan written by J. Alan Holman and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holman uniquely bridges the gap between neo- and paleoherpetology and shows that Michigan's modern herpetofaunas reflect Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene (warm period after the ice age) events, as the entire modern population was forced to re-invade the state after the last withdrawal of ice. In Part 1, Holman discusses Michigan as an amphibian and reptile habitat, including a geological, climatic, and vegetational history. Part 2 presents recent species accounts, covering all fifty-four species of amphibians and reptiles, along with their general distribution, Michigan distribution (with range maps), geographic variation, habitat and habits, reproduction and growth, diet, predation and defense, interaction with humans, behavioral characteristics, population health, and general remarks. In Part 3, Holman examines the Michigan herpetofauna in Quaternary and recent historical times and the species accounts include Pleistocene, Holocene, and archaeological records.

Book Modeling Archaeological Site Burial in Southern Michigan

Download or read book Modeling Archaeological Site Burial in Southern Michigan written by G. William Monaghan and published by Environmental Research. This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling Archaeological Site Burial in Southern Michigan is the first volume in the Environmental Research Series. The product of more than two decades of research, it examines relationships between regional and local scale fluvial system evolution and the processes that result in the deep burial of archaeological sites--primarily in floodplain and coastal contexts. This multidisciplinary study incorporates findings from earth and social sciences, discussing regional scale processes of environmental change that are necessary to understand relationships between human economic needs, social adaptation, and changing paleoenvironment. Monaghan and Lovis have compiled and synthesized available data on deeply buried archaeological sites in southern Lower Michigan; the result is the most comprehensive single compendium of such data available for any region of the Great Lakes. Since the processes and contexts present in southern Lower Michigan are comparable to those in the larger region, research modes presented here also have applicability across northeastern North America. This is one of the most important pieces of research to be produced on Michigan archeology.
