ABSTRACT OF THESIS AN ANALYSIS OF TEXTILE-IMPRESSED CERAMICS FROM SLACK FARM (15UN28), KENTUCKY This thesis represents a study of textile-impressed ceramics from Slack Farm, a Late Mississippian Caborn-Welborn phase site in Union County, Kentucky. The goal of this study was to use the textile impressions to provide additional insight into Caborn-Welborn social organization. The Caborn-Welborn phase represents the reconfiguration of communities in the Lower Ohio River Valley after the collapse of the Angel chiefdom and other nearby Mississippian polities. Results indicate that there was an increase in textile structural variation in the fabric used for the impressions at Slack Farm and other Caborn-Welborn sites from earlier Mississippian assemblages. Increased textile structural variation may be associated with the reconfiguring of the Caborn-Welborn social organization during this phase. Textile types associated with Oneota tribal groups were also identified at Slack Farm and suggest Oneota women were in residence at the site. Textile patterns assumed to be associated with an elite status were not identified in this study. Overall, the textile-impressed assemblage reflects the response of weavers to changes in the Caborn-Welborn social organization.

Their willingness to read and comment on various drafts of this thesis has greatly improved its content. Their encouragement and help have allowed me to be successful in this endeavor. Dr. James Adovasio and Mr. Jeff Illingworth at the Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute have always made time to answer questions and identify random impressions and for this I am eternally grateful. In addition to letting me pester him with questions, Jeff supplied me with the necessary materials for my analysis (15 pounds of brightly colored clay) and tracked down hard to find articles and dissertations. Thanks Jeff, I owe you one. I would like to thank the staff at the Kentucky Archaeological Survey and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kentucky for all their help while I finished my thesis and for keeping my spirits up when they were low. Hayward Wilkinson helped prepare the figures in Chapter 4 and willingly accepted cookies for his effort and I thank him for that. I would also like to thank the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky for their support in funding travel for research and conferences. I learned a great deal on those trips and my research is better for it. My friends in the department have always been there for me, especially when things looked their worse. I would have thrown my hands up in surrender had you not been there. Thanks. To my friends outside the department, thank you for always allowing me to vent and provide an objective opinion. You have kept me sane. iii My family has always been my rock, and they have made me the person I am today. Their love and support, as well as relentless encouragement, mean more to me than anything. I would like to especially thank my parents. You always made me ask why, even when I did not want to. You have always been the best role models in my life. And finally, I would like to thank my husband, Chris, for having put up with me through everything, and always standing by my side. You are my best friend. Thank you. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS............................................................................................................iii LIST OF TABLES..........................................................................................................................vi LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................................vii LIST OF FILES ..............................................................................................................................iv 1.

  • Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario
    White Dogs, Black Bears, and Ghost Gamblers: Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario JAMES B. BANDOW Museum of Ontario Archaeology, University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION Historians and ethnographers have debated the antiquity of the Midewiwin. Entrenched in historical discourse is Hickerson’s (1962, 1970) theory that the Midewiwin was a recent native resistance movement, a socio-evolutionary response to the changing culture patterns resulting from culture contact with Europeans. Other scholars view the Midewiwin as a syncretism, suggesting that a prehistoric component became intertwined with Christian influences that resulted in the ceremonial practices observed by ethnohistorians (Mason 2009; Aldendefer 1993; Dewdney 1975; Landes 1968). Recent critiques, however, provide evidence from material culture studies and center on the largely Western bias inherent in Hickerson’s diffusionist argument surrounding the post-contact origin of the Midewiwin. These arguments note structural similarities observed in birch bark scroll depictions, rock paintings and pictographs with historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, and oral history. These multiple perspectives lead some historians to conclude the practice was a pre-contact phenomenon (e.g., Angel 2002:68; Peers 1994:24; Schenck 1997:102; Kidd 1981:43; Hoffman 1891:260). Archaeological and material culture studies may provide further insight into understanding the origins of the Midewiwin. Oberholtzer’s (2002) recent overview of dog burial practices, for instance, compared prehistoric ritual patterns with the known historical practices and concluded that the increased complexity of the Midewiwin Society is an elaboration of substantive indigenous practices that must predate any European influence. This paper documents the archaeological continuity and syncretism of Mide symbolism observed from the Great Lakes region.

  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.

    World Systems Theory, Core Periphery Interactions and Elite Economic Exchange in Mississippian Societies Robert J.Jcskc Department of Anthropology Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN 46805 j [email protected] Copyright 1996 by Robert J.Jeskc. Please do not cite without permis sion of the author. V. 7/8/96 Abstract World Systems Theory has been one approach used to explain the rise of the Mississippian social and political phenomenon. In this paper it is argued that a hierarchical model of core- periphery interaction docs not explain the Cahokian phenomenon, because several crucial clements of such a model cannot be demonstrated to have existed within the Mississippian system. It is suggested that looking at Mississippian society as a differential core-peripheral system may have utility as a framework for including concepts such as gateway communities and interacti on spheres previously used to describe the economic interactions between Cahokia and its neighbors. Introduction Archaeologists have long sought an explanation for the rise of Mississippian society in the major river valleys of the American Midwest and Southeast between A.D. 1000 and 1500 (Smith 1978). Over the years, our explanations have changed with the changing fashions of then-current theories of cultural evolution. From diffusion to cultural ecology to economic models ofredistributivc exchange, we have attempted to put a finger on the causal variables involved in the production of certain ceramic wares, the construction of earthen platform mounds, and the large and highly organized residential and ritual sites of these people. [Page l] JournaI of World-SystemsResearch None of these models have proven completely satisfactory, failing at one level or another to account for the complexity of Mississippian intergroup interactions revealed by the archaeological record.

    Jeffers Hopewell Mound, Worthington , Ohio , similar to the Bear & Thunderbird Mounds in Toronto, Ontario. This prehistoric mound is all that remains of a much larger complex of earthworks that once occupied this site, a dramatic 60-foot bluff overlooking the Olentangy River.
