No. 3189). ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is with great pleasure that the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology welcomes everyone to the 67th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference. It has been sixteen years since SEAC was in Lexington. Mary Powell, Dick Jefferies, Margie Scarry, and John Scarry organized the 51st Annual Meeting in Lexington, which was a joint affair with the Midwest Archaeological Conference. If you attended that conference, the surroundings may seem familiar. The Hilton Lexington/Downtown is the same meeting location, but under different management and recently renovated. We wish to thank the staff of the Hilton, especially Director of Convention Services Brad Barbour and Sales Manager Jennifer Goodpaster, for accommodating our many requests and helping us to field such a large meeting, and Bond Jacobs of the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau. The SEAC Annual Meeting has indeed grown into a large affair. This year more than 370 people will present papers and posters, participate in panel discussions and workshops, or moderate open forums. We expect registration to surpass 700 individuals, including more than 280 student members. Given the number and diversity of paper topics, it would seem that southeastern archaeology is vibrant and the future very encouraging. In addition to a range of symposia and general sessions on prehistoric and historic archaeology, site preservation, and public education, we would like to highlight a few of the special sessions. Two symposia celebrate the significant contributions of two long-term southeastern archaeologists: Berle Clay and David Hally. The Native Affairs Liaison Committee is once again sponsoring a panel discussion on Tribal consultation with representatives from the Absentee Shawnee Tribe, Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Chickasaw Nation, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, and Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Chair of the committee, Brett Riggs, deserves special thanks for organizing these discussions, as do the state and federal agencies that helped with the costs of bringing participants to Lexington. The Student Affairs Committee is also sponsoring a workshop on Integrating Subdisciplinary Research and a lunch forum on Professionalism and Practicality. We thank SEAC Student Representative Viki Dekle for organizing these events. A host of student volunteers help every year with registration, sessions, and organization. We thank the many volunteers during this year's conference and especially Zada Komara, Nick Laracuente, and Maureen Meyers for their pre-meeting help. We would also like to acknowledge the Chairs of the fourteen general sessions who generously agreed to that task. Special thanks to tour organizers Eddie Henry, Kim McBride, Steve McBride, Eric Schlarb, Carl Shields, and Terry Tune. The cover design for the Program was created by Hayward Wilkirson, whose talents are greatly appreciated. Finally, several SEAC officers and past meeting organizers were extremely helpful as we planned these meetings and sometimes reinvented the wheel. We especially thank past-President Ken Sassaman, President David Anderson, President-Elect Ann Early, Treasurer Victor Thompson, Associate Editor and webmaster Phil Hodge, and co-organizers of last year's meeting, Phil Carr, Ashley Dumas, Tara Potts and Sarah Price. Physiographically, Kentucky is on the periphery of the southeastern U.S.; however, historically, Kentucky is inextricably linked to SEAC as an organization. Bill Haag, then at the University of Kentucky, served as editor of the Newsletter from the beginning (1939) until 1956. The 6th Annual Meeting of SEAC was held in Lexington. William Webb gave many southeastern archaeologists their first job in archaeology. Webb pioneered the idea of purchasing archaeological sites to preserve them and lobbied hard to establish archaeological research as a precondition for federal undertakings rather than just as a make-work project. It is in memory of these two giants of Kentucky archaeology—William G. Haag and William S. Webb— that we dedicate this conference. iii SPECIAL THANKS TO CO-SPONSORS OF THE STUDENT AFFAIRS RECEPTION AND THE GENERAL MEETING RECEPTION AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. ♦ Beta Analytic, Inc. ♦ Eastern Kentucky University Department of Anthropology, Sociology and Social Work ♦ Florida Public Archaeology Network ♦ GAI Consultants, Inc. ♦ Gray & Pape, Inc. ♦ John Milner Associates, Inc. ♦ Kentucky Organization of Professional Archaeologists ♦ Wilbur Smith Associates ♦ University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology ♦ Western Kentucky University Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology iv DIAGRAM OF THE MEETING FACILITIES Please Note: All session rooms are located on the second floor.

  • Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina
    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html CHEROKEE ETHNOGENESIS IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Christopher B. Rodning Dozens of Cherokee towns dotted the river valleys of the Appalachian Summit province in southwestern North Carolina during the eighteenth century (Figure 16-1; Dickens 1967, 1978, 1979; Perdue 1998; Persico 1979; Shumate et al. 2005; Smith 1979). What developments led to the formation of these Cherokee towns? Of course, native people had been living in the Appalachian Summit for thousands of years, through the Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods (Dickens 1976; Keel 1976; Purrington 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). What are the archaeological correlates of Cherokee culture, when are they visible archaeologically, and what can archaeology contribute to knowledge of the origins and development of Cherokee culture in southwestern North Carolina? Archaeologists, myself included, have often focused on the characteristics of pottery and other artifacts as clues about the development of Cherokee culture, which is a valid approach, but not the only approach (Dickens 1978, 1979, 1986; Hally 1986; Riggs and Rodning 2002; Rodning 2008; Schroedl 1986a; Wilson and Rodning 2002). In this paper (see also Rodning 2009a, 2010a, 2011b), I focus on the development of Cherokee towns and townhouses. Given the significance of towns and town affiliations to Cherokee identity and landscape during the 1700s (Boulware 2011; Chambers 2010; Smith 1979), I suggest that tracing the development of towns and townhouses helps us understand Cherokee ethnogenesis, more generally.

The popular game was one of several played for millennia throughout Native North America. Indigenous communities played ball games not only for the important culture- making of sport and recreation, but also as an act of peace-building. The densely populated urban center of Cahokia, as well as its agricultural suburbs and distant trade partners, were dedicated to chunkey. Chunkey is associated with the milieu surrounding the Pax Cahokiana (1050 AD-1200 AD), an era of reduced armed conflict during the height of Mississippian civilization (1000-1500 AD). The relational framework utilized in archaeology, combined with dynamics of conflict resolution, provides a basis to explain chunkey’s cultural impact.

  • Direct Care of Collections Ethics, Guidelines and Recommendations
    Direct Care of Collections Ethics, Guidelines and Recommendations March 2019 Update Direct Care of Collections: Ethics, Guidance and Recommendations March 2019 For 25 years the Code of Ethics for Museums and accounting standards have been out of alignment regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of deaccessioned collections. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated its standard to bring the two into alignment: allowing for direct care as well as acquisition. The ethical principles regarding responsible governance and collections stewardship have not changed. In light of the updated FASB standard noted below, however, a museum should revise its collections management policy, as needed, to disclose its use of proceeds and its definition of direct care (if allowed). These disclosures are additions to the recommendations for Creating an Institutional Policy on page 8. The decision-making tools (pages 9-11) remain relevant guidelines for a museum to define “direct care of collections” depending on its mission, discipline and specific circumstances. Accounting Standards Update The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated Topic 958, Definition of Collections (previously addressed in FASB 116) in March 2019. The update was made to align it with AAM’s Code of Ethics for Museums regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of deaccessioned objects. The updated standard permits museums not to recognize as revenue, nor capitalize, “contributions of works of art, historical treasures, and similar assets” if the donated items meet all of the following criteria: “a. They are held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of public service rather than financial gain.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction
    SEGMENTED AND ASCENDANT CHIEFDOM POLITY AS VIEWED FROM THE DIVERS SITE BY GLEN ALOIS FREIMUTH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus R. Barry Lewis, Chair Professor Timothy R. Pauketat Adjunct Professor Thomas E. Emerson Associate Professor Mark W. Mehrer, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This study contributes to our understanding of the nature of political control exerted by the Mississippian Cahokia polity over small rural villages in the southern American Bottom. Currently two models, which I call the Segmented and Ascendant Chiefdoms, respectively, provide contrasting explanations of the nature and amount of Cahokia control over rural villages. I examine the fit of these models against archaeological data from the Divers and other regional sites. The analyses range over several main topics, including populations, labor requirements, nonlocal artifacts, provisioning, and rituals. I find that the archaeological patterns expressed at the Divers site best fit a Segmented Chiefdom model wherein political control is decentralized and rural villages retain a high degree of political autonomy. Cahokia, as the American Bottom’s main Mississippian town, has the largest population, physical size, elite status items, and monumental construction which I describe as material domination and political dominance. Political dominance requires manipulation of local leaders and their followers for political and social control and this manipulation was expressed through ritual materials and rituals performed at Cahokia and other mound towns. The Cahokia elite created new rituals and associated material expressions through collective action and attempted to gain control of existing commoner ritual performances and symbols but these and political autonomy largely remained with the commoners who occupied small villages like Divers.

In 1973, the Chairman of the Caddo Nation, Melford Wil- liams, was the banquet speaker for the Conference, which was held in Natchitoches, Louisiana. A panel, consisting of Thompson Williams, Vynola Newkumet, Phil Newkumet, and Pete Gregory, was also part of that conference. Subsequent to 1973, Caddo representatives have not only been invited, but have attended the majority of the conferences.

    Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

  • IN the COURT of CRIMINAL APPEALS of TENNESSEE at NASHVILLE October 14, 2003 Session
    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE October 14, 2003 Session STATE OF TENNESSEE v. PAUL DENNIS REID, JR. Direct Appeal from the Circuit Court for Montgomery County No. 38887 John H. Gasaway, III, Judge No. M2001-02753-CCA-R3-DD - Filed December 29, 2003 The appellant, Paul Dennis Reid, Jr., was found guilty by a jury of two counts of premeditated murder, two counts of felony murder, two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, and one count of especially aggravated robbery. The felony murder convictions were merged into the premeditated murder convictions. Thereafter, the jury sentenced the appellant to death based upon the existence of three aggravating circumstances: the appellant had previously been convicted of one or more felonies, other than the present charge, the statutory elements of which involve the use of violence to the person; the murders were committed for the purpose of avoiding, interfering with or preventing a lawful arrest or prosecution of defendant or another; and the murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel in that it involved torture or serious physical abuse beyond that necessary to produce death. The trial court sentenced the defendant as a violent offender to twenty-five years imprisonment for especially aggravated robbery and especially aggravated kidnapping, to run consecutively to his sentences for first degree murder and to a prior out-of-state sentence. On appeal, appellant presents forty-five issues. After an extensive review of the record and the applicable law, we find that none of these issues warrants a reversal of this case. Therefore, the judgments of the trial court are AFFIRMED.
