Parasites and Skeletal Indicators of Anemia in the Eastern United States
Parasites and skeletal indicators of anemia in the eastern United States Item Type Thesis Authors Dinneen, Erin Download date 06/10/2021 02:28:21 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4801 ii PARASITES AND SKELETAL INDICATORS OF ANEMIA IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Erin E. Dinneen, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska Title Page December 2014 iii Abstract The goal of this research is to examine the influence of parasitic infection and diet in the etiology of anemia in prehistoric human populations of the eastern United States. Prehistorically, anemia is often attributed to a nutrient-deficient diet, while parasite infection is discussed as a secondary cause if at all. However, parasite infection is a leading cause of anemia in the developing world today. Modern epidemiological studies have demonstrated that parasites thrive or perish under particular environmental conditions, and risk for parasite infection can be predicted based on environment using GIS. Here I apply this method to see whether environmental conditions, acting as a proxy for parasite infection risk, can predict prehistoric skeletal lesion rates for porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia, lesions thought to reflect acquired anemia. Rates of porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia in the skeletal remains of children and adults were collected from published data for 22 sites in the eastern United States. GIS was used to gather comparable environmental data. Soil drainage, elevation, precipitation, temperature and the surface area of bodies of water were recorded within a 15 km radius of each site. -
Constructing Community and Cosmos: a Bioarchaeological Analysis of Wisconsin Effigy Mound Mortuary Practices and Mound Construction
CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILSOPHY Anthropology 2012 ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison This dissertation presents an analysis of the mounds, human skeletal remains, grave goods, and ritual paraphernalia interred within mounds traditionally categorized as belonging to the Wisconsin Effigy Mound Tradition. The term ‘Effigy Mound Tradition’ commonly refers to a widespread mound building and ritual phenomenon that spanned the Upper Midwest during the Late Woodland (A.D. 600-A.D. 1150). Specifically, this study explores how features of mound construction and burial may have operated in the social structure of communities participating in this panregional ceremonial movement. The study uses previously excavated skeletal material, published archaeological reports, unpublished field notes, and photographs housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum to examine the social connotations of various mound forms and mortuary ritual among Wisconsin Effigy Mound communities. The archaeological and skeletal datasets consisted of data collected from seven mound sites with an aggregate sample of 197 mounds and a minimum number of individuals of 329. The mortuary analysis in this study explores whether the patterning of human remains interred within mounds were part of a system involved with the 1) creation of collective/ corporate identity, 2) denoting individual distinction and/or social inequality, or 3) a combination of both processes occurring simultaneously within Effigy Mound communities. -

Two early editions were published by the Arkansas Archeological Survey (Perttula et al. 1999, 2006), while a third edition (Perttula et al. 2011) was posted on the Caddo Conference Organization (www.caddoconference.org) website. A fourth edition was published by the Friends of Northeast Texas Archaeology (Perttula et al. 2013), and a fifth and now hopelessly outdated edition was published by the Journal of Texas Archeology and History in 2014. -

Pace VERTEBRATE REMAINS FROM ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OF ALABAMA FrederickS. Barkalow, Jr. N.C. State University FOREWORD The productive capacity of primitive man's environment and the degree of success with which he extracted the necessities oflife from his surroundings not only determined his survival but influenced his cultural development as well. Through a study of his art, structures, burials, and artifacts we may trace the development of his culture and by piecing together this evidence, often fragmentary, we' may infer the manner in which primitive man met the challenge of his environment. It is in the animal and plant remains in his village sites and middens that we may expect to find the most valuable key to the nature of the environmental conditions themselves. The tether which bound the hunting and gathering cultures to their basic food resources was short indeed, for these people took what was available, consumed it on the spot or nearby, and discarded the unconsumed portion. This unwitting legacy from aboriginal man can provide us with both an insight into his activities and food habits, and an excellent knowledge of his local contemporary faunas. The record is there for the reading--- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer is indebted to many people and institutions for help and support in the preparation of this report. -
