  • A Biface, Anyone? We’Ll Never Know What Purpose the Clovis Knapper Had in Mind for This Magnificent Preform When He Buried It in Colorado 13,000 Years Ago

We’ll never know what purpose the Clovis knapper had in mind for this magnificent preform when he buried it in Colorado 13,000 years ago. He may have cached it at a location his party routinely visited on hunting trips as a ready supply of toolstone for refurbishing their toolkits. Or it may have been simply too wonderful to use, and so he buried it as a ceremonial offering. Whatever his motive, he buried it so that no one could find it. And no one did, until J. David Kilby, a doctoral candidate at the University of New Mexico. Kilby has studied more than 20 Clovis caches in the West and as far north as Minnesota. Our story on the conclusions he has reached begins on page 13. J. DAVID KILBY he Center for the Study of the First Americans fosters research and public T interest in the Peopling of the Americas. The Center, an integral part of the Department of Anthropology at Texas A&M University, promotes interdisciplinary scholarly dialogue among physical, geological, biological and social scientists.

  • Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan for the State of Mississippi
    The Historic Preservation Division of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (HPD of MDAH) is responsible for the development and implementation of a Statewide Preservation Plan under National Park Service requirements. The Plan addresses the preservation of Mississippi’s historic and cultural resources, including architectural, historic, and prehistoric properties. The Plan identifies the trends affecting historic and cultural resources so that informed decisions can be made about the management and care of these properties. Individuals, private businesses, community groups, local governments, and state and federal agencies can and should be active participants in the implementation of this Plan. Since Mississippi does not have a formal statewide governmental planning program, the development of partnerships between the public and private sector is crucial to the success of the preservation plan. Planning Process The Comprehensive Plan for 2011 through 2016 is an update and revision of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan, building upon the earlier framework with modifications and new goals and objectives derived with input from the public and the experience of the users. During the spring of 2010, the staff of HPD of MDAH conducted a well-advertised public meeting at the Eola Hotel in downtown Natchez, Mississippi, in conjunction with the Statewide Preservation Conference. The meeting was well attended by a broad spectrum of Mississippi’s community leaders—elected officials, economic development coordinators, merchants, businessmen, educators, housing authorities, tourism promoters, and representatives of non-profit organizations, in addition to preservationists. A Web-based questionnaire was sent to over 1000 people throughout the state and was available through the homepage of the MDAH Web site.

The Hester Site (22MO569), located in northeastern Mississippi, contains intact Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene deposits that can potentially afford archaeologists with a better understanding of late Pleistocene/early Holocene settlement in the region (Brookes 1979; Goodyear 1999:463-465). Investigations at Hester by Brookes (1979) revealed a stratified site containing artifacts that represented the late Paleoindian through Woodland periods in the Southeastern United States.

  • Paleoindian/Early Archaic Period1
    1 PALEOINDIAN/EARLY ARCHAIC PERIOD1 Samuel O. McGahey2 Introduction Over the past few years, a serious effort has been made to draw together all available early lithic data from Mississippi in order to form the basis for "historical contexts" for the state preservation plan. The archaeological contexts are defined by geographical and chronological dimensions. The chronological dimensions are those that are generally accepted by the archaeological community. Since, in the view of the writer, Paleoindian and Early Archaic are a continuum and the end of this continuum is recognized abruptly with the onset of the Middle Archaic, it has been decided to treat them as a unit. This unit is somewhat arbitrarily divided into five subperiods for the study of broad general trends in artifact if not people distribution. The geographical dimensions are the ten physiographic regions generally recognized by the natural scientists who study plant and animal communities. They are: the Yazoo Basin, the Loess Hills, the North Central Hills, the Flatwoods, the Pontotoc Ridge, the Black Prairies, the Tombigbee Hills, the Jackson Prairie, the Longleaf Pine Belt, and the Coastal Pine Meadows (fig. 1). While the ideal is to discuss the contexts as a physiographic region within a given archaeological period, it has not been possible to attain this goal because of a lack of data in certain areas and the ten physiographic regions have been consolidated into four for the present. Nevertheless enough data has been accumulated that certain regional differences are obvious, and this is the primary reason for this paper. The data is presented below in the form of histograms representing the five subperiods (fig.

Anthropology Senior Theses. Paper 165. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_seniortheses/165 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Ritual and Subsistence: Paleobotany at the Smith Creek Site (22wk526) Abstract The Smith Creek Archaeological Project focuses on a mound site in Wilkinson County, Mississippi. The site (22Wk526) has three earthen mounds surrounding an open plaza dating to the Coles Creek period (AD 700 – 1200) and a probable village are at the south end of the site dating to the Anna Phase of the Plaquemine period (AD 1200 – 1350). This thesis examines paleobotanical material from the flotation and water screening samples from this village area. The discussion centers around both subsistence, with a focus on the beginnings of corn agriculture, and ritual uses of plants, with a focus on sweet gum. Additionally, other plant remains found at the site will be discussed in terms of what they illuminate about the use of plants at the Coles Creek-Plaquemine transition.
