  • Alternative Histories and North American Archaeology
    PAU01 9/17/2004 8:32 PM Page 1 1 Alternative Histories and North American Archaeology Timothy R. Pauketat and Diana DiPaolo Loren North America is one immense outdoor museum, telling a story that covers 9 million square miles and 25,000 years (Thomas 2000a:viii) The chapters in this volume highlight the story of a continent, from the Atlantic to Alaska, from the San Luis mission to Sonora, and from the Kennewick man of nine millennia ago to the Colorado coalfield strikes of nine decades ago (Figure 1.1). Given the considerable span of time and vastness of space, the reader might already be wondering: what holds North American archaeology together? Unlike other por- tions of the world, it is not the study of the sequential rise and fall of ancient states and empires that unified peoples into a people with a single writing system, calen- dar, or economy. No, North America is, and was, all about alternative histories. It is about peoples in the plural. Peoples did things differently in North America. They made their own histories, sometimes forgotten, subverted, and controversial but never outside the purview of archaeology. Yet, in their plurality, the North Americans of the past show us the commonalities of the human experience.The inimitable ways in which people made history in North America hold profound lessons for understanding the sweep of global history, if not also for comprehending the globalizing world in which we find ourselves today. That is, like all good yarns, there is a moral to this archaeological allegory: what people did do or could do matters significantly in the construction of the collective futures of all people.

  • National Park Service, Department of the Interior
    STATEMENT OF JANET SNYDER MATTHEWS, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR CULTURAL RESOURCES, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE NATIONAL PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC LANDS SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES, CONCERNING H.R. 929, A BILL TO ESTABLISH THE LAND BETWEEN THE RIVERS NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. March 15, 2007 Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present the Department of the Interior’s views on H.R. 929, a bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to establish the Land Between the Rivers National Heritage Area in the State of Illinois. The Department does not support enactment of this bill at this time. Before a national heritage area is designated by Congress, a comprehensive feasibility study should be completed that evaluates an area by applying criteria developed by the Department and Congress. The study undertaken by Southern Illinois University provides a good beginning in identifying the many stories and variety of resources found within the region. However, we believe that H.R. 929 should not be enacted until an adequate feasibility study is completed that yields the necessary information to demonstrate that the proposed national heritage area meets the criteria for designation. We also believe that individual bills proposing to designate new national heritage areas should be deferred until program legislation is enacted that establishes guidelines and a process for the designation of national heritage areas. Last year, the Administration sent to Congress a legislative proposal to establish such guidelines and a process for designation.

  • A Story to Tell
    A Story to Tell Starved Rock State Park June 7-8, 2021 Monday and Tuesday Features: Starved Rock State Park & Lodge --- 2 for 1 Broadway Performance! Historic Trolley Tour - Spirit of Peoria Riverboat Let’s spend a couple of days relaxing and enjoying some of the most scenic areas in Illinois. Our first day will take us to Starved Rock State Park. Voted the #1 attraction in the State of Illinois, Starved Rock State Park boasts the largest two-side fireplace in Illinois. The fireplace is located inside the Starved Rock State Park Lodge which was constructed in 1933 by the CCC. We will arrive in time to enjoy a hot lunch buffet and see a musical performance. What's better than a “2 for 1 Broadway Revue Show”. Cynthia and Matt will perform with two songs each from Broadway's favorite shows along with Love and Marriage - where the couple explores the highs and lows of dating, separation, marriage, children and growing older together through favorites such as You're the One That I Want, Big Spender, Till There Was You, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better, People Will Say We're in Love, and Kids. Next, we allow time for exploring on a trolley tour of Starved Rock. Dinner is included at the Lodge followed by free time for exploring, storytelling and then an overnight stay at the Lodge. Day 2 starts with a buffet breakfast and then it is off to the Spirit of Peoria riverboat for a day-long cruise on the Illinois River as we make our way to Peoria.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

  • Plateau Burial Assemblages
    CHAPTER 6 PLATEAU BURIAL ASSEMBLAGES This chapter presents detailed site descriptions and analysis. The emphasis is on assemblages containing at least ten undisturbed burials with secure grave associations, but many sites not meeting this criteria are also discussed in a qualitative fashion, particularly from the Canadian Plateau, for which there are far fewer assemblages meeting even this size criterion. While much of the information could have been summarised in table form, it was felt necessary to discuss aspects of each site that are not conducive to this kind of presentation. Discussion of sites proceeds roughly from the lower Middle Columbia northwards to the Fraser and Thompson areas of the Canadian Plateau. The locations of sites mentioned in the text are shown in Figures 6.1 and 6.2. Data on age, sex, and the number of artifact types found in individual burials at each of the sites for which at least some quantitative analysis is provided are listed in Appendix A (Tables A.l and A.2). The Lower Middle Columbia The Dalles-Deschutes Archaeological research in The Dalles-Deschutes region began in the 1920s (W. Strong et al. 1930), unfortunately without the benefit of the many advances in field techniques that have occurred since. Further excavations were undertaken in the 1950s (Butler 1957, 1959, 1963; Caldwell 1956), but by this time the entire area had been heavily looted by collectors. Direct radiocarbon dates on human bone or associated grave inclusions are, as far as I have been able to determine, totally nonexistent, making it difficult to deal with temporal change.

  • Starved Rock & Marseilles Pools Illinois River
    STARVED ROCK & MARSEILLES POOLS ILLINOIS RIVER 2021 FISHERIES FACT SHEET The Illinois River is formed at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers near Channahon. It flows southwest for 273 miles across the state to enter the Mississippi River at Grafton. There are five dams along the Illinois forming pooled reaches named (upstream to downstream) the Dresden Pool, Marseilles Pool, Starved Rock Pool, Peoria Pool and La Grange Pool. The downstream reach is called the Alton Pool because it is influenced by Mel Price Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River at Alton. LOCATION: The Starved Rock Pool of the Illinois River extends from the Starved Rock Lock and Dam near Utica at mile 231 to the tailwater of the Marseilles Lock and Dam at mile 247. The Marseilles Pool of the Illinois River extends from mile 247 to the tailwater of the Dresden Island Lock and Dam at mile 271.5. LaSalle and Grundy counties border this reach. RIVER ACCESS: The lower end of the Starved Rock Pool is wide with slower velocities, while a more narrow channel with higher gradient and swift waters is found further upstream. The Marseilles Pool is a narrow, high gradient, swift pool. Public lands bordering the pools include Starved Rock State Park, Buffalo Rock State Park, Illini State Park, Gebhard Woods State Park, Heidecke Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area, and Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area. Public boat access to the river is available at Starved Rock and Illini State parks, as well as in South Ottawa and Morris. Public boat access areas offer good bank fishing opportunities.
