Martin 147 pages December 2013 Ogden-Fettie is a Middle Woodland Havana-Hopewell mound group in the Central Illinois Valley. Fv196 is the midden area near the largest mound. The function of Fv196 is in question, because it does not conform to the settlement and function models that have been applied to other sites. The ceramic collection from Fv196 was typed and categorized into categories based on perceived function, either habitation or ceremonial. The majority of the pottery belonged to the Havana series, which is traditionally considered habitation pottery; however, many of the Havana sherds are decorated indicating a ceremonial function.

    Whittaker-Annotated Atlbib July 31 2014

    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version of August 2, 2014 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. I try in particular to note problems in some of the studies that are often cited by others with less atlatl knowledge, and correct some of the misinformation. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation, but at heart I am an old-fashioned paper-lover.

    Prehistoric Hopewell Meteorite Collecting : Context and Implicatiosn

    PREHISTORIC HOPEWELL METEORITE COLLECTING: CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS OLAF H. PRUFER Department of Humanities and Social Studies, Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio INTRODUCTION This paper examines and evaluates the curious practice of meteorite collecting among the prehistoric Hopewell people of Eastern North America and, more specifically, of Ohio. The Hopewell culture complex, viewed in overall terms, covers a temporal range from approximately 400 B.C. to 400 A.D. It is not certain that this total range is applicable to the Ohio area, the center of Hopewell cultural intensity. There are indications that Ohio Hopewell began somewhat later and ended some- what earlier than other Hopewell manifestations (Prufer, 1961). The Hopewell complex represents one of the most highly-developed prehistoric cultures of Eastern North America. It is principally characterized by a tendency toward an extreme mortuary ceremonialism expressed in the construction of large and richly furnished burial mounds and earthworks. The entire ethos of Hopewell culture appears to have been directed toward this ceremonialism. Nearly all artistic efforts, special technological skills, and a far-flung trading network were devoted to providing goods to be ultimately deposited in burials. The dichotomy between the fabulous Hopewell burial mounds and their contents, and the unspectacular Hopewell village sites is sharply apparent, especially in Ohio and Illinois, where some of the great tumuli have yielded literally thousands of ceremonial objects. The production of such objects of high quality seems to have been the main interest of the Hopewellians. Part of this conspicuous collecting and mortuary disposal of wealth is a marked interest in exotic materials such as obsidian, from the Rockies or the Southwest, grizzly bear canine teeth from the Rockies, marine shells from Florida, native copper and silver from the Upper Great Lakes region, and mica from Virginia and the Carolinas.

    The Havana Culture Late in the Archaic Period, Near the Confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, Dramatic Cultural

    The Havana Culture Late in the Archaic Period, near the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, dramatic cultural changes occurred quickly. The area was occupied by the Prairie Lake people of the Red Ocher tradition, who lived in substantial villages on river bluffs above the floodplains. About 2,600 BP, pottery-making Marion groups from the north as well as Black Sand people from the south began settling the floodplains of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. These immigrants had a profound influence on the local people, who soon abandoned their bluff based villages and Red Ochre cemetary burials. The intrusive immigrants lived in small hamlets on the floodplain. These hamlets have produced no evidence of their burials or mortuary activity, but they do contain the first pottery in Illinois. By 2,200 BP, the interaction of the Marion, Black Sand and Red Ocher cultures catalyzed rapid culture change and the beginning of the Havana culture. (Farnsworth 2009) Havana Hopewell By 2,100 BP, about 100 years after the Havana culture emerged, extensive mound building and Hopewellian mortuary ritual had begun. Eventually, the Havana built Hopewell mounds and ritual centers at ~ 9-12 mi. intervals in the floodplain along the river. Many ritual centers were associated with bluff-top villages with adjacent mounded cemeteries, suggesting some groups chose to continue some of the Red Ocher culture. (Farnsworth 2009; Griffin 1967) Ceramics The Havana developed a distinctive limestone temper ceramic technology and style. Their Fine Havana Zoned Stamped vessels are the first Hopewell pottery. Pots with distinctive decorations were later imported from Hopewell centers in Tennessee and Georgia.
