LAWRES B.A. University of Central Florida, 2008 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2011 © 2012 Nathan R. Lawres ii ABSTRACT Resistance to oppression is a globally recognized cultural phenomenon that displays a remarkable amount of variation in its manifestations over both time and space. This cultural phenomenon is particularly evident among the Native American cultural groups of the Southeastern United States. Throughout the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries the European and American states employed tactics and implemented laws aimed at expanding the geographic boundaries of their respective states into the Tribal Zone of the Southeast. None of these groups, however, sat passively during this process; they employed resistive tactics and strategies aimed at maintaining their freedoms, their lives, and their traditional sociocultural structures. However, the resistive tactics and strategies, primarily manifested in the medium of warfare, have gone relatively unnoticed by scholars of the disciplines of history and anthropology, typically regarded simply as guerrilla in nature. This research presents a new analytical model that is useful in qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing the behaviors employed in combat scenarios. Using the combat behaviors of Muskhogean speaking cultural groups as a case study, such as the Creeks and Seminoles and their Protohistoric predecessors, this model has shown that indigenous warfare in this region was complex, dynamic, and adaptive. This research has further implications in that it has documented the evolution of Seminole combat behaviors into the complex and dynamic behaviors that were displayed during the infamous Second iii Seminole War. Furthermore, the model used in this research provides a fluid and adaptive base for the analysis of the combat behaviors of other cultural groups world- wide. iv This work is dedicated to the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, the Creek Nation, and the Poarch Band of Creeks as their histories and cultures are what have brought life to this study… Shonabish! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people are due acknowledgement for their help and support throughout the course of this research. First, and foremost, I would like to extend my gratitude to my committee members, especially Dr. Rosalyn Howard, a mentor and close friend, who spent tireless hours helping to guide my thoughts and edit this document.

MORTUARY PATTERNS IN WEST-CENTRAL TENNESSEE: CONTEXTUALIZING HISTORIC FIELD DATA FROM NINE MISSISSIPPIAN PERIOD SITES Brooke A. Wamsley 156 pages Middle Mississippian is a both a cultural and temporal (1200 CE – 1400 CE) archaeological context of Midwestern North America. This cultural tradition is associated with mound building, specific art motifs, arguably stratified societies, intensive agriculture, and specific ritual/mortuary practices. Burial sites can be very valuable to archaeologists because of the purposeful interaction between the living and the deceased and reconstruction of cultural elements such as social identity and group membership. While American archaeology continues to be fieldwork-focused, there are a considerable amount of cultural resources housed in museum collections that could provide data for research into pre-Columbian life-ways in North America.

Colonial institutions profited off the land and those who occupied it. One institution that exemplified this was the Fur Trade. Throughout the North and Northeast colonies, European nations acquired furs from a variety of mammals to meet the trans-Atlantic demand. To maximize profits in the New World many European colonizers turned to Native peoples to aid in their economic endeavors. Native Americans employed trade routes and knowledge of the land to their advantage in the new economic landscape.

  • KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 Through 83
    1 KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 through 83 This index combines five previously published Kiva indexes and adds index entries for the most recent completed volumes of Kiva. Nancy Bannister scanned the indexes for volumes 1 through 60 into computer files that were manipulated for this combined index. The first published Kiva index was prepared in 1966 by Elizabeth A.M. Gell and William J. Robinson. It included volumes 1 through 30. The second index includes volumes 31 through 40; it was prepared in 1975 by Wilma Kaemlein and Joyce Reinhart. The third, which covers volumes 41 through 50, was prepared in 1988 by Mike Jacobs and Rosemary Maddock. The fourth index, compiled by Patrick D. Lyons, Linda M. Gregonis, and Helen C. Hayes, was prepared in 1998 and covers volumes 51 through 60. I prepared the index that covers volumes 61 through 70. It was published in 2006 as part of Kiva volume 71, number 4. Brid Williams helped proofread the index for volumes 61 through 70. To keep current with our volume publication and the needs of researchers for on-line information, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society board decided that it would be desirable to add entries for each new volume as they were finished. I have added entries for volumes 71 through 83 to the combined index. It is the Society's goal to continue to revise this index on a yearly basis. As might be expected, the styles of the previously published indexes varied, as did the types of entries found. I changed some entries to reflect current terminology.

Basic information on the environment of the study area is provided, followed by a review of the history of archeological research in the region. Prehistoric culture history is then reviewed according to the conventional framework of Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi time periods. Historic Na- tive American, European, and American settlement history is also considered. The history of bioarcheological research in the region is summarized, and a suggested framework for future bioarcheological investigations is provided. Bioarcheological data pertaining to the Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods are then reviewed and several interpretations are made. The overview concludes with a synthesis of the archeological and bioarcheological data and interpretations in terms of four prehistoric and five historic period adaptation types. The basic features of each adaptation are identified, along with specification of important data gaps and signifi- cant research questions.

Hofman, PhD Date approved: April 18, 2015 ii ABSTRACT Warfare results where environmental change confronts social complexity in hunter-gatherer groups. Lethal outcomes as a result of extragroup violence result. In this thesis, the links between warfare and environment are examined. Hunter-gatherer groups living under environmentally deprived conditions are more likely to engage in violent conflict as the result of competition between groups for resources. The use of violence within groups also adapts to environmental conditions by offering non-lethal outcomes. Where warfare is systemic and environmentally motivated, groups may turn to a regulated means of violent internal conflict resolution mitigating population destabilization. The Santa Barbara Chumash and the Las Palmas culture both reflect an opportunity for regulated conspecific violence to mitigate lethal outcomes through evidence of survived cranial trauma.

  • Patterns of Antemortem Tooth Loss in Late Prehistoric West- Central Tennessee
    3 Patterns of Antemortem Tooth Loss in Late Prehistoric West- central Tennessee Maria Ostendorf Smith1* and Tracy K. Betsinger2 1 Illinois State University 2 State University of New York, Oneonta Keywords: Mississippian, maize, Vacant Quarter, Tennessee ABSTRACT The later prehistoric subsistence-settlement pattern in the Kentucky Lake Reservoir (KLR) of northern west-central Tennessee is of interest as human occupation inexplicably terminates by AD 1450 as part of a larger regional depopulation. Antemortem tooth loss (AMTL) collectively and by tooth type was identified in four site samples from the KLR. These are a Late Woodland (AD 600-900) sample (Hobbs) and three Middle Mississippian period (AD 1100- 1400) hierarchically organized and presump- tively maize agriculturalist samples (Link/Slayden, Gray Farm, Thompson Village). AMTL prevalence in the Hobbs sample is consistent with a native crop and seasonal foraging economy. The AMTL in the Link/Slayden sample is more congruent with the pre-maize Late Woodland sample than the essentially contemporaneous Gray Farm site sample. Thompson Village, a later-dated satellite community of the Gray Farm polity, exhibits significantly fewer AMTL than Gray Farm. This may flag climate-influenced agricultural shortfall of dietary carbohydrates later in the occupation sequence. Additionally, males in the Gray Farm site sample have significantly more AMTL than males in the other two Mississippian samples. The patterns suggest regional, possibly shortfall mitigated, differences in maize intensification with a polity-specific male-focused maize consumption in the Gray Site. Oral pathology has frequently been an effective disease (Baelum et al., 1986; Kida et al., 2006; Mül- barometer of community health and an attestable ler & Hussein, 2017; Niessen & Weyant, 1989; Ong, marker of subsistence strategy in archaeological 1998; Shaffer et al., 2013; van der Velden et al., contexts where material culture provides the inter- 2015), there are other causes.
