Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological investigations were conducted at the Bug Hill site (34Pu-116) as part of the Phase II mitigation program at Clayton Lake in southeast Oklahoma for the Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Contract Number DACW56-78-C-0212. The site will be inundated upon completion of the lake in the Jackfork Valley. The Bug Hill site is one of two large, dark midden mounds discovered during 1979 in the project area. Currently, these sites represent the southernmost distribution of dark midden mounds in eastern Oklahoma. Very similar sites occur along Fourche Maline Creek in Latimer and LeFlore counties. Investigations at the Bug Hill site consisted of the manual excavation of 13 2 m x 2 m, four 1 m x 1 m squares, and mechanical excavation of three backhoe trenches. Preservation of cultural deposits in the center of the site was extremely good, even though rodent disturbance and other natural processes affected their distribution in some cases. On the average, these deposits had a depth of 170-180 cm. Toward the edges of the accretional mound, the deposits became shallower and preservation was poor.

Book excerpt: The Bug Hill site is an accretional midden mount set on the Holocene age Jackfork Terrace, along an intermittent tributary of Jackfork Creek. Analyses indicated that the site was occupied from the Middle Archaic to the Historic Period. The site was the locus of intense occupation from the Late Archaic through the Early Caddoan Periods (ca. 1600 B.C. to A.D. 1000). Throughout this time, the site served predominantly as a base camp with the focus of the various occupations centered on the procurement and production of chipped stone tools and the utilization of lowland forest and riverine resources. Through time increasing emphasis was placed on the collection of wild plants, culminating in the possible use of domesticates (especially sunflower) during the Early Caddo. Correlated with the change in subsistence was an increasing specialization in the use of space both within structures and over the entire site. Many of these changes may be associated with the residents of the Jackfork Valley participating in or being influenced by cultural phenomena emanating from the Caddo centers along the Arkansas and/or Red Rivers. After the Early CAddo Period, the site was used intermittently as a locus for short-term camps. Evidence of a brief historic occupation dating to the late nineteenth century was also found.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States. The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record. In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast.
