    Geophysical Investigation of an Early Late Woodland Community in the Middle Ohio River Valley: The Water Plant Site Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen L. Royce, M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. William S. Dancey, Advisor Dr. Kristen J. Gremillion Dr. Ralph von Frese Copyright by Karen L. Royce 2011 Abstract Geophysical surveys using fluxgate gradiometer and magnetic susceptibility instruments were conducted at the early Late Woodland Water Plant site to investigate the community patterning within the site. The site was first investigated through archaeological survey and excavation under the direction of Dr. William S. Dancey approximately thirty years ago. The Water Plant site is located in Franklin County, Ohio within the Middle Ohio River Valley region. The re-examination of this site using different investigative techniques has yielded additional, illuminating information. As a result of the fluxgate gradiometer survey, the outer prehistoric ditch at the site was mapped in its entirety and defines the community area of the site. An inner prehistoric ditch and palisade were also mapped during the fluxgate gradiometer survey and additionally, sections of post screens were detected at gaps in the outer prehistoric ditch at the site. The magnetic susceptibility survey data indicate that the site area within the ditches had a high frequency of human use. Based on all these data, the site does appear to be definitively defensive in nature based on the two sets of earthen ditches and wooden palisade features encompassing roughly an 8-acre area and may be one of the earliest occurrences of a fortified community in the Middle Ohio River Valley.

S. A. RECENTLY DATED PUEBLO RUINS IN ARIZONA By EMIL W. HAURY AND LYNDON L. HARGRAVE (WITH 27 PLATES) FOREWORD In 1921 the National Geographic Society began excavation and study of Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in Chaco Canyon, north- western New Mexico. It was the privilege of the undersigned to direct these archeological investigations from their inception to the conclusion of actual field-work in the autumn of 1927. Pueblo Bonito is unquestionably the finest extant example of that phase of southwestern history known to archeologists as Pueblo III— the period during which small, isolated villages were drawn together into large, complex communities. After a time these communities began to disintegrate ; to separate into lesser groups that spread far and wide in search of more fertile fields and freedom from the attacks of nomadic enemies. Then came, in 1540, Coronado and his fellow adventurers to initiate the Spanish conquest of the Southwest ; to bring about still further disintegration of the peaceful Pueblo tribes and their unique social organization. This Spanish-dominated phase of Pueblo history, from 1540 to the present, is commonly designated Pueblo V.

The early Fort Ancient component is represented by Jessamine Series ceramic and Type 2 Fine Triangular projectile points, while the late Fort Ancient component is represented by Madisonville series ceramics, Type 4 and Type 6 Fine Triangular projectile points, and unifacial and bifacial endscrapers. The presence of a marginella shell bead and mica fragments reflect long distance interaction with groups living to the south, and the recovery of a glass bead and a copper bead points to interaction with Europeans. Based on the presence of intact subplowzone deposits associated with both components, and the recovery of human remains, the Howard site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

    The Ronald Watson Gravel Site (15Be249): An examination of the Late Woodland/ Fort Ancient transition in Boone County, Kentucky A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of Anthropology Of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences 2006 by Karl Raymond Huebchen B.A., University of Cincinnati, 1992 Committee Chair: Dr. Alan P. Sullivan, III ABSTRACT The Ronald Watson Gravel site (15Be249) is located on a terrace of the Ohio River, in Boone County, Kentucky, just downstream from Cincinnati. Excavated during the early 1990s, initial research suggested inconclusively that a transitional Late Woodland/Fort Ancient occupation may be present. This thesis re-examines a portion of the ceramic collection from the site, and re-evaluates this conclusion. Results of the analysis from feature and surface contexts, in addition to the acquisition of six radiocarbon dates, suggest that the site was occupied during the Late Archaic, Middle Woodland, Late Woodland, and Middle Fort Ancient periods, without conclusive evidence of any transitional occupations. The data were then compared to a southwestern Ohio ceramic chronology, in order to further tighten the periods of occupation at 15Be249. I conclude that sufficient variation exists between the two areas that additional research is needed to develop a detailed ceramic chronology for northern Kentucky. i ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend thanks and appreciation to those individuals without whom this thesis would not have been possible. Firstly, I need to recognize the now-defunct University of Cincinnati Center for Cultural Resources Management (UCCCRM) for giving me the opportunity to work at the Watson Gravel site as an undergraduate student in the early 1990s.

    Village of Matinecock PC/CodeBook for Windows CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF MATINECOCK, NEW YORK, v10 Updated 09-01-2015 HISTORY In pre-European times, the Matinecock Indian territory on the North Shore of Long Island stretched from Newtown on the west to the Nissequogue River on the east. With the arrival of European colonists, the general area of the North Shore from what is now Hempstead Harbor on the west to Oyster Bay on the east was known as Matinecock. In 1653, three English colonists from Cape Cod traded goods with Chief Asiapum for a tract of land, bounded by the Papaquatunk River (later called Beaver Swamp River and Beaver Brook) and by the Dutch province of New Netherland and the United Colonies of New England, that was to become the Town of Oyster Bay. On March 13, 1667, seven American Indian proprietors of Matinecock gave John Underhill, the best-known resident of Oyster Bay, 150 acres in the general area. Mr. Underhill named this spot "Killingworth." Other settlers and property owners, principally farmers at this time, were Pryer, Birdsall, Cock, Reddock, Hawxhurst, Frost and Williams. On September 29, 1677, Governor Andros set the western boundary for the Town of Oyster Bay at the east side of Hempstead Harbor, and on January 9, 1685, colonists made a new purchase of Matinecock land north and west of the first tract. In 1725, the Matinecock Meeting House opened for Quakers living in the area. During the American Revolution, Long Island was subjected to armed occupation from the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 until the British evacuation in 1783.

I first thank my professors at Pennsylvania State University where I received my undergraduate education. Dean Snow, Claire McHale-Milner, George Milner, and Heath Anderson introduced me to archaeology, and Alan Walker introduced me to human evolution and paleoanthropology. They encouraged me to continue in anthropology after graduating from Happy Valley. I was fortunate enough to do fieldwork in Koobi Fora, Kenya with professors Jack Harris and Carolyn Dillian, amongst others in 2008. Northern Kenya is a beautiful place and participating in fieldwork there was an amazing experience. Being there gave me research opportunities that I completed for my Master’s thesis at New Mexico State University. Carolyn deserves a special acknowledgement because she taught me about the interesting questions that can be asked with sourcing obsidian artifacts.

Field work was conducted from July 29 through July 31, 2015. The archaeological survey involved systematic shovel probe excavation, bucket augering, and visual inspection within the project’s entire Area of Potential Effect. Two previously unrecorded archaeological sites 15Mo170, 15Mo171 and one Isolated Find (IF 1) were identified within the project bounds. The known, surveyed extents of the sites identified within the APE were not deemed potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP) under Criterion D, and no further work is recommended.
