Book excerpt: "Author Ted Ehmann in this new work continues his rethinking of the one hundred and twenty-year-old narrative about the mound-builders Indians in North America. Revisiting the archaeological excavation of a large burial mound on Lemon Bay in what is today Englewood, Florida in, 1938, Ehmann solves the mystery surrounding its construction while simultaneously dismantling the view that such enterprises are proof of a local society becoming more “socially complex.” Ehmann has researched the mound-builders for the past thirty years. His new research reveals the truly cooperative nature of these strictly hunter-gathering civilizations while exposing the racism then and now that has influenced the science. Particularly the application of “environmental archaeology’, a purely Euro-centric view forced upon the highly adaptive and cooperative societies in Florida. In this sequel to his first study on South Florida’s Calusa, The People of the Great Circle, Florida plays a significant and very early role in a continent-wide revival of beliefs and rituals that go back to the stone age, not the opposite, which has been believed till now. It took Congress until 1990, after decades of grave looting conducted under the guise of scientific research, to pass the Native American Graves Protection and Reparation Act. While expressing the importance of burials for gathering reliable ethnological data the author demonstrates that all the data can provide answers by revisiting each and respecting the beliefs and practices that are inseparable from the site and those buried there. Ehmann credits and dedicates his work to the theories of the Ohio Hopewell Mounds researcher A. Martin Byers. Byers’ study entitled The Real Mound Builders and his discovery of “Collective Burial Locales, when applied to Florida, completely alters the previous narrative of who, what, when, where, and why. This made-up narrative essentially stole the thunder of the Calusa and others in South Florida. Ehmann’s new view restores the Calusa and their neighbors to their rightful place in world history."-Amazon
Download or read book The Mound Builders written by Robert Silverberg and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1986-05-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Illinois, the one-hundred-foot Cahokia Mound spreads impressively across sixteen acres, and as many as ten thousand more mounds dot the Ohio River Valley alone. The Mound Builders traces the speculation surrounding these monuments and the scientific excavations which uncovered the history and culture of the ancient Americans who built them. The mounds were constructed for religious and secular purposes some time between 1000 B.C. and 1000 A.D., and they have prompted curiosity and speculation from very early times. European settlers found them evidence of some ancient and glorious people. Even as eminent an American as Thomas Jefferson joined the controversy, though his conclusions—that the mounds were actually cemeteries of ancient Indians—remained unpopular for nearly a century. Only in the late 19th century, as Smithsonian Institution investigators developed careful methodologies and reliable records, did the period of scientific investigation of the mounds and their builders begin. Silverberg follows these excavations and then recounts the story they revealed of the origins, development, and demise of the mound builder culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Oscar Coffin was a professor of mathematics and Romance language, best known for being the first African American to obtain a PhD in biology. In this book, he turns his attention to the "Mound Builders," used to refer to characteristic mound earthworks erected for an extended period of more than 5,000 years. The "Mound Builder" cultures span the period of roughly 3500 BCE (the construction of Watson Brake) to the 16th century CE, including the Archaic period, Woodland period (Calusa culture, Adena and Hopewell cultures), and Mississippian period. Geographically, the cultures were present in the region of the Great Lakes, the Ohio River Valley, and the Mississippi River valley and its tributary waters.

Book excerpt: Examination of the relationship between the number of invertebrate and vertebrate taxa and MNI allows refinements in determining sample size adequacy. Tallies of bony fish elements document the loss of less dense elements. Meat weight estimates indicate that invertebrates comprised a minor portion of animal foods, and that vertebrates comprised the major portion, with bony fish, sea turtle, and deer predominating.

Download or read book The Mound Builders written by George Bryce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mound Builders is an archeological work by George Bryce. Bryce was a Presbyterian minister and author, here delving into certain types of historical structures found in Canada. Excerpt: "The mounds have long been known as occurring in Central America, in Mexico, and along the whole extent of the Mississippi valley from the Gulf of Mexico to the great lakes. Our Northwest has, however, been neglected in the accounts of the mound-bearing region. Along our Red River I can count some six or eight mounds that have been noted in late years, and from the banks having been peopled and cultivated I have little doubt that others have been obliterated. One formerly stood on the site of the new unfinished Canadian Pacific Hotel in this city. The larger number of those known are in the neighborhood of the rapids, 16 or 18 miles below Winnipeg where the fishing is good. In 1879 the Historical Society opened one of these, and obtained a considerable quantity of remains. It is reported that there are mounds also on Nettley Creek, a tributary of the lower Red River, also on Lake Manitoba and some of its affluents. During the past summer it was my good fortune to visit the Rainy River, which lies some half way of the distance from Winnipeg to Lake Superior. In that delightful stretch of country, extending for 90 miles along the river there are no less than 21 mounds. These I identify with the mounds of Red River. The communication between Red and Rainy River is effected by ascending the Red Lake River, and coming by portage to a river running from the south into Rainy River. Both Red and Rainy River easily connect with the head waters of the Mississippi. Our region then may be regarded as a self-contained district including the most northerly settlements of the strange race who built the mounds. I shall try to connect them with other branches of the same stock, lying further to the east and south. For convenience I shall speak of the extinct people who inhabited our special region as the Takawgamis, or farthest north mound builders."
