THE UPPER MlSSI SSIPPI AN COMPONENT AT THE FORT MEIGS SITE, NORTHWEST OHIO, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE CERAMIC ASSEMBLAGE William Evan Rutter, M.A. Western Michigan University, 198*» An introduction to the late prehistoric Upper Mississippian component of the Ft. Meigs site is presented. Site context and his­ tory of research are presented, and the non-ceramic artifact assem­ blage is analyzed and discussed. An in depth analysis of the ceramic assemblage is presented, as well as discussion of the osteological, floral, and faunal remains. Ft. Meigs is then examined from a cul­ ture ecological perspective, and is discussed in terms of culture historical data and a theoretical schema. The s ite is employed to aid in illumination of the process of cuIture contact in general, and within the western Lake Erie Basin in particular, for the period A.D. 1200 to early historic times.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would 1ike to express my appreciation to the following indivi­ duals for permitting me to undertake and complete this study. For comments and critical review of the original draft I am grateful to Dr. Wi11 iam Cremin, of Western Michigan University, and Dr. David Stothers, of Toledo University. I also wish to extend my appreciation to Dr. Robert Maher, of Western, for consenting to serve on my thesis committee on rather short notice. I would also like to acknowledge the Toledo Area Aboriginal Research Society, in particular its Presi­ dent, Mr. Patrick Steiner, for making col lections available for study. Without the excavations completed in cooperation with the Laboratory of Ethnoarchaeology at the University of Toledo, a wealth of data included in this thesis would not have been available for analysis. I would also like to thank my superiors, especially Don Weir, at Gilbert/Commonwealth in Jackson, Michigan, for permitting me to take extended leaves of absence to undertake analysis and write up of this thesis. In addition, the moral support and encouragement provided by Dr. Robert Jack Smith, Chairman of the Department of Anthropology at Western Michigan, is gratefully acknowledged. I also would wish to recognize the financial assistance provided to me by the Department of Anthropology during my years at Western Michigan. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents for the encouragement and aid they provided during the seemingly endless process of completing my degree. I again emphasize my gratitude to the people and institutions mentioned i i Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through.an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N. Z eeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

An abstract of A History of Fort Meigs: The Fort‘s Reconstruction as Reflection of Sense of Place to Northwest Ohio by Ashley A. Johnson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in History The University of Toledo May 2011 Fort Meigs has endured for nearly 200 years due to its sense of place it offers to northwest Ohio. A sense of place consists of an area that offers locals an anchor of identity and explanation to understand their place and existence in time and space. In 1813, Fort Meigs first served northwest Ohio through the War of 1812 campaigns after the disastrous River Raisin Massacre and other repeated American losses; the two campaigns at the fort helped to turn the war in America‘s favor. Following the war period, the fort continued to serve the area by providing a space and backdrop for such things as political campaigns, memorial grounds for soldiers, celebrations of American war victories, and as a recreational area.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

A reciprocal, back-and-forth grinding motion is the most efficient way to process large amounts of maize. However, rotary movements are also associated with some ground stone implements. The number of flat and trough metates and two handed manos are compared to the rotary-motion basin and concave type metates and one-handed manos to determine predominance and distribution.
