KPMA04 Burgandy From Coronado to Cattlemen Assessing the Legacy of 19th-Century Cattle Trails on the Southern High Plains he years following A.D. 1250 witnessed the intensification of Ttrade among Native American villagers on the southern High Plains. Though their economic interaction is certain, archeologists’ ability to map the pathways that linked these Plains horticulturalists is incomplete—isolated to a series of east-west routes that connected the southwestern Pueblos with the Plains and Mississippian trade networks (Kelly 1955; Vehik 1986). The occurrence in Plains villages of artifacts made out of certain kinds of stone from source locations to the north and south confirms that the north-south movement of peoples and technology was an important aspect of the economy; however, the corridors favored for such traffic are yet to be discovered. Beyond the southern High Plains, archeologists are assured that a vast network of roads linked trade centers of pre-Columbian America. This web of highways was first mentioned in the written accounts of early European explorers. Later, archeologists confirmed trail locations by identifying a series of Native American town sites containing significant quantities of non-local materials (Ewers 1954; O’Brien 1986; Riley 1976; Wood 1980, 1983). Our approach is the same. This article reports on the use of published historic documents to locate a possible prehistoric north-south route on the southern High Plains. Subsequent field research, including archeological survey and geomorphological studies, attempted Figure 1.

  • A Council Circle at Etzanoa? Multi-Sensor Drone Survey at an Ancestral Wichita Settlement in Southeastern Kansas
    REPORTS A Council Circle at Etzanoa? Multi-sensor Drone Survey at an Ancestral Wichita Settlement in Southeastern Kansas Jesse Casana , Elise Jakoby Laugier, Austin Chad Hill, and Donald Blakeslee This article presents results of a multi-sensor drone survey at an ancestral Wichita archaeological site in southeastern Kansas, originally recorded in the 1930s and believed by some scholars to be the location of historical “Etzanoa,” a major settlement reportedly encountered by Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate in 1601. We used high-resolution, drone-acquired thermal and multispectral (color and near-infrared) imagery, alongside publicly available lidar data and satellite imagery, to prospect for archaeological features across a relatively undisturbed 18 ha area of the site. Results reveal a feature that is best interpreted as the remains of a large, circular earthwork, similar to so-called council circles documented at five other contemporary sites of the Great Bend aspect cultural assemblage. We also located several features that may be remains of house basins, the size and configuration of which conform with historical evidence. These findings point to major investment in the construction of large- scale ritual, elite, or defensive structures, lending support to the interpretation of the cluster of Great Bend aspect sites in the lower Walnut River as a single, sprawling population center, as well as demonstrating the potential for thermal and multispec- tral surveys to reveal archaeological landscape features in the Great Plains and beyond. Keywords: remote sensing, thermography, UAV, Great Bend aspect, earthwork, ancestral Wichita Este artículo presenta los resultados de una encuesta de drones con sensores múltiples en un sitio arqueológico ancestral de Wichita en el sureste de Kansas, originalmente registrado en la década de 1930 y que muchos estudiosos creen que es la ubica- ción del histórico “Etzanoa”, un asentamiento importante que según los informes encontró el conquistador español Juan de Oñate en 1601.

Carlisle, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2001 APPROVED: Donald Chipman, Major Professor William Kamman, Committee Member Richard Lowe, Committee Member Marilyn Morris, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Andy Schoolmaster, Committee Member Richard Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Carlisle, Jeffrey D., Spanish Relations with the Apache Nations East of the Río Grande. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2001, 391 pp., bibliography, 206 titles. This dissertation is a study of the Eastern Apache nations and their struggle to survive with their culture intact against numerous enemies intent on destroying them. It is a synthesis of published secondary and primary materials, supported with archival materials, primarily from the Béxar Archives. The Apaches living on the plains have suffered from a lack of a good comprehensive study, even though they played an important role in hindering Spanish expansion in the American Southwest. When the Spanish first encountered the Apaches they were living peacefully on the plains, although they occasionally raided nearby tribes. When the Spanish began settling in the Southwest they changed the dynamics of the region by introducing horses. The Apaches quickly adopted the animals into their culture and used them to dominate their neighbors. Apache power declined in the eighteenth century when their Caddoan enemies acquired guns from the French, and the powerful Comanches gained access to horses and began invading northern Apache territory.

Sparse desert flora partially hides the remains of ancient stone houses built by early American Indians who inhabited this area of central New Mexico. Farther along the trail an excavated mound reveals the broken foundations of a large apartment house and several ceremonial kivas typical of the southwest Pueblo Indian culture. Nearby, the ruins of two mission churches attest to the presence of Spanish priests in this isolated region. The quiet remnants of the village of Las Humanas, now called Gran Quivira, only hint at the vibrant society that thrived here until the late 17th century. Today it is one of three sites that make up Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.

Download date 29/09/2021 11:19:03 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/623731 QUEST OF THE GRAN QUIVIRA BY CHARLES KEYES Spanish conquest of treasured Mexico by Cortés, and the conquest of Peru by Pizarro chance not to be the only great adventures after gold that set the mind of Spain aflare in the first half of the Sixteenth Century. A third grand vision of boundless wealth lured Coronado afar into the interior of the continent after what he was pleased to call La Gran Quivira. Relation of the event is peculiarly Arizona's tale, and constitutes the third chapter of Arizona's history. This conquest originated and ended in Arizona. Ending in complete failure, as the Spanish thought, the event does not draw to it the critical attention of historians as do the other two adventures; yet account of the search for this hidden treasure is not without great interest, some excitement, and much wonderment. If the gold of the first conquerors served soon to wreck the first nation of the earth, the loss of gold by the third venture served eventually to unite two widely separated sections of another first-rate power, yet unborn, through opening up of a prehistoric trade route, a middle sector of which afterwards came to be known under the name of the Santa Fé trail.

The roll was called with 125 members present. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker: Creator God, We have noticed in the last few weeks how Spring has struggled to establish itself, warm and sunny one week, the last few days gloomy with dark skies and rain. Perhaps the same could be said about inside the chamber… one day decisions have been made that brighten their hopes, the next day, decisions made that cause some to feel as gray and gloomy as the sky. Today, Lord, I ask for discernment and clarity as they judge anew their adherence to principle, conviction, and commitment. Give them the ability to listen to one another and work cooperatively to solve the important issue of the day. Heal that which is broken— restore relationships that are separated by party lines— surprise the cynical—humble the exalted— and awaken the exhausted. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Sloan. INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep.
