Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prehistoric Ethnology of a Kentucky Site The Fox Farm is situated in Mason County, Kentucky, about fourteen miles south southwest from Maysville, three miles north from May's Lick, and one mile west of the road leading from May's Lick to Maysville. It is not far from the historic Washington, made famous by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin. It is in the Algonkin linguistic area. The land is rolling, and cut by numerous creeks which discharge into the north fork of the Licking River and so their waters eventually reach the Ohio. These streams cut through nearly horizontal strata of the fossili ferous limestone of the Ordovician (lower Silurian). The Fox Farm lies on Lower Maysville and Upper Eden, formerly supposed to be about the equivalent of the Lorraine and Utica of the New York series. The Eden consists of shale and thin limestones, the latter of which tend to slip' out on the surface of the steep hillsides under the action of frost and rain. Many of these are carried by water some distance down stream, and in' places are deposited in such a way as to resemble a pavement, each piece standing on edge, but leaning down stream. The Eden outcrop is always marked by steep slopes and a relatively poor soil; the overlying Maysville, however, gives rise to good soil. Many of these slabs of limestone were carried by the prehistoric people of this vicinity to the top of the high land lying between the streams and there used in the construction of graves. There are numerous salt springs in the neighborhood which in early historic times and before, were visited by deer and other animals for the purpose of licking the salt deposited about their edges. Consequently, many of the names of the nearby villages terminate in the word Lick. The country was heavily wooded and timber was so common that even at the time of our work there (1895) rail fences could be seen which contained rails of the now valuable black walnut.

Download or read book A History of Archaeological Thought written by Bruce G. Trigger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Trigger's new book is the first ever to examine the history of archaeology from medieval times to the present in world-wide perspective. At once stimulating and even-handed, it places the development of archaeological thought and theory throughout within a broad social and intellectual framework. The successive but interacting trends apparent in archaeological thought are defined and the author seeks to determine the extent to which these trends were a reflection of the personal and collective interests of archaeologists as these relate - in the West at least - to the fluctuating fortunes of the middle classes. While subjective influences have been powerful, Professor Trigger argues that the gradual accumulation of archaeological data has exercised a growing constraint on interpretation. In turn, this has increased the objectivity of archaeological research and enhanced its value for understanding the entire span of human history and the human condition in general.
