INDEX A NOTE ON THE INDEX The following rules have been adopted for the index : I. Proper names are entered according to the most frequent spelling in the text. 2. Forenames abbreviated in the text are given in full unless the meaning of the abbre­ viation is doubtful. 3. Omitted forenames are supplied whenever they can be determined. +. Each name occurring in a combination has a cross reference to the name of the com­ bination. S. Military titles are omitted unless they are necessary to identify the person named. 6. The names and titles of civil officers are separately entered with cross references in appropriate cases. 7. Names of Indians are identified either by the name of the tribe (e. g., Catawba) to which they belong, or the phrase, "an Indian." In the case of a "Savanah Indian" name, both identifying words follow the name. If an Indian has more than one name or title mentioned in the text, each name or title is entered with cross references to the one most frequently used. 8. Names of confederated Indian tribes (e. g., Creek Indians) have cross references to each tribe (e. g., Coosaw Indians) in the confederation. 9. Indian towns are entered separately and identified according to tribe by cross references to the group entry made for the towns of each tribe (e. g., Cherokee towns). 10. Names of places outside South Carolina are identified as to location if they are likely to be confused with others of the same name. 11. Names of ships are enclosed in quotation marks and followed by the definite article. 12. Common names are entered according to the modern spelling except in cases where an archaic form (e. g., How) occurs, there is a cross reference from the modern form (Hoe) to the archaic. 13. Collective names (e. g., Indian traders) have cross references to related groups (e. g., Cherokee traders). In a case like the entry, Goods in the Indian trade, which has only cross refer­ ences to other entries, the purpose is to indicate the goods of the trade and related subjects. 1+. All South Carolina entries, such as the Council, Commons House of Assembly, Creek Agent, Inhabitants of the colony, Rangers, and others, are entered separately, except references to the following: the agent to distribute Indian presents, commissions, currency, defense against Indian attacks, forts proposed for Cherokee settlements, government, Indian affairs, laws, regu­ lation of Indian trade, relations with various Indian tribes, relations with the other colonies, and taxes, which are indexed under the entry, South Carolina. IS. All documents in the text are listed in the Calendar (pp. xiii-xxii). Each is also indexed under the name of the author and recipient, if any. In the case of the subentry, "talks," a distinction is made between those written for Indians by traders and those given orally to the Governor in conference. The former are entered as " 'talks' from" the Indians, and the latter as " 'talks' of" the Indians.

  • Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina

    Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina

    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html CHEROKEE ETHNOGENESIS IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Christopher B. Rodning Dozens of Cherokee towns dotted the river valleys of the Appalachian Summit province in southwestern North Carolina during the eighteenth century (Figure 16-1; Dickens 1967, 1978, 1979; Perdue 1998; Persico 1979; Shumate et al. 2005; Smith 1979). What developments led to the formation of these Cherokee towns? Of course, native people had been living in the Appalachian Summit for thousands of years, through the Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods (Dickens 1976; Keel 1976; Purrington 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). What are the archaeological correlates of Cherokee culture, when are they visible archaeologically, and what can archaeology contribute to knowledge of the origins and development of Cherokee culture in southwestern North Carolina? Archaeologists, myself included, have often focused on the characteristics of pottery and other artifacts as clues about the development of Cherokee culture, which is a valid approach, but not the only approach (Dickens 1978, 1979, 1986; Hally 1986; Riggs and Rodning 2002; Rodning 2008; Schroedl 1986a; Wilson and Rodning 2002). In this paper (see also Rodning 2009a, 2010a, 2011b), I focus on the development of Cherokee towns and townhouses. Given the significance of towns and town affiliations to Cherokee identity and landscape during the 1700s (Boulware 2011; Chambers 2010; Smith 1979), I suggest that tracing the development of towns and townhouses helps us understand Cherokee ethnogenesis, more generally.

  • The Biomolecular Archaeology of the Black Drink: Alkaloid Residue Analysis of Ilex Vomitoria on Experimental Vessels and Applications for Prehistoric Specimens

    The Biomolecular Archaeology of the Black Drink: Alkaloid Residue Analysis of Ilex Vomitoria on Experimental Vessels and Applications for Prehistoric Specimens

    The Biomolecular Archaeology of the Black Drink: Alkaloid Residue Analysis of Ilex vomitoria on Experimental Vessels and Applications for Prehistoric Specimens Paper presented at the 2011 Southeastern Archaeological Conference, Jacksonville, Florida Shannon Tushingham1*, Matthew Palumbo2, Charles H. McNutt3, and Ulla Anderson4 1Department of Anthropology, Washington State University’ 2Department of Biology, University of Florida; 3Department of Anthropology, University of Memphis; 4Department of Chemistry, UC Berkeley; *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Early historic accounts document widespread use of a purgative known as “the black drink”, a caffeinated ceremonial tea famous for its use in purification rituals by elite males. The beverage was prepared from roasted leaves and twigs of yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria), an evergreen shrub native to the southeastern coastal plain. Prehistoric use is poorly understood but often associated with shell cups found in mortuary contexts and the SECC. Our work, designed to track ancient use of psychoactive plants via Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry, includes identification of medicinal tea biomarkers, experimentation with brewing black drink, and residue extraction from pottery/shell specimens. Sampling included preparing and extracting a range of experimental vessels which served different functions in black drink cooking and consumption (cooking vessels, clay and shell cups), with extractions taken directly from the vessels and from tea residue on vessel interiors. Our findings suggest that chemical changes occur through the cooking process, but the presence of the biomarker caffeine remains stable and correlated the experimental vessels to the Ilex vomitoria plant in all but one case. We also describe the non‐destructive method we developed where alkaloid residues can be extracted directly from the matrix of prehistoric shell cups and pottery vessels through a sonication process.

    #213 The Ten Horns of Daniel 7:7 – George Washington and the start of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) / Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), part 1 Key Understanding: Why George Washington was the key person at the start of the French and Indian War. The Lord ordained that George Washington, the man born at Popes Creek Plantation in Virginia, be the key person at the very start of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) / Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), thus fully connecting (a) Daniel 7:7 and the rise of the Ten Horns with (b) Daniel 7:8 and the rise of the Revolutionary War ‘Little Horn’ Fifth Beast. George Washington and the French and Indian War. Here is the story of George Washington and the start of what developed into what Winston Churchill called the “first world war.” [Remember, Virginian George Washington would have been considered to be fighting for Great Britain at that time, for this was a generation before the Revolutionary War.] Territorial rivalries between Britain and France for the Ohio River Valley had grown stronger as the two countries’ settlements expanded. The French claimed the region as theirs, but the Iroquois Indians had begun to permit some British settlements in the region. In 1753, the French, who feared the loss of the Ohio country’s fur trade, tried to strengthen their claim to the area by building a chain of forts along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, at the eastern end of the Ohio River Valley. The British colony of Virginia also claimed the land along the Allegheny.
