  • Metate Re-Roughening, Pecking, Or Pounding?
    PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A REPLICATNE STUDY: METATE RE-ROUGHENING, PECKING, OR POUNDING? Dawn M. Reid and Mari A. Pritchard-Parker Department of Anthropology University of California Riverside, CA 92521 ABSTRACT This paper discusses the results of a replicative study on the roughening of milling equipment, specifically metates. The intent of the replication was to ascertain ifdiffering results were achieved when various percussor types were used to re-roughen a metate-like surface. Hammerstones prepared by flaking and unmodified cobbles were utilized. The results obtained in the replication were then compared with archaeological specimens in an attempt to determine more information as to the manufacturing and use behaviors associated with milling equipment. INTRODUCTION ment would be most efficiently accom­ plished with tools of different shapes and Stone metates or grinding stones have sizes, depending upon how much mass one long been a primary food processing tool for is trying to remove and where that mass is many agricultural as well as hunting and located. Where manufacture seeks to re­ gathering societies. Use of these imple­ move a relatively large amount ofmass, re­ ments to reduce both plant and animal ma­ roughening seeks to merely mar the grind­ terial has been well documented. When a ing surface to such a degree that it becomes metate is used in conjunction with a mano useful again.

    From left to right, R. P. Soejono, H. R. van Heekeren, and W. G. Solheim II Hendrik Robert van Heekeren 1902-1974 Received 29 September 1975 R. P. SOEJONO The friendly spirit and cooperation I found from scientists as well as from the simple peoples in small villages all over Indonesia will stay with me forever. (van Heekeren's Ceremonial Lecture Dr. H. C., University of Indonesia, 1970) R. H. R. van Heekeren passed away in Heemstede on 10 September 1974 after a four month's illness. His attendance at the "Symposium on Modern D Quaternary Research in Southeast Asia," which was held on 16 May 1974 in Groningen, was the last activity of his lifetime in the field of science. The paper he gave during this symposium dealt with problems ofthe chronology of Indonesian prehistory, which he always considered as being in its formative stage, with research on this subject continuously intensifying. His work of writing the second edition of his book The Bronze-Iron Age of Indonesia (first published in 1958), being done in cooperation with R. P. Soejono at the N.LA.S. (The Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Wassenaar), has not yet been accomplished, in spite of his earnest desire to have the new edition published as quickly as possible. He fell ill upon his return from Groningen, making it impossible for him to continue his writing at the N.LA.S., and this illness ended with his death. It was not expected that he would pass away so soon and so suddenly, as a few days before his death he seemed to be improving and was looking forward to his next visit, the following year, to Indonesia, which he had always considered as his second homeland.

  • Turtles from Turtle Island 89
    88 Ontario Archaeology No. 79/80, 2005 Tur tles from Turtle Island: An Archaeological Perspective from Iroquoia Robert J. Pearce Iroquoians believe their world, Turtle Island, was created on the back of the mythological Turtle. Archaeologically, there is abundant evidence throughout Iroquoia to indicate that the turtle was highly sym- bolic, not only of Turtle Island, but also of the Turtle clan, which was preeminent among all the Iroquoian clans. Complete turtles were modified into rattles, turtle shells and bones were utilized in a variety of sym- bolic ways, and turtle images were graphically depicted in several media. This paper explores the symbolic treatments and uses of the turtle in eastern North America, which date back to the Archaic period and evolved into the mythologies of linguistically and culturally diverse groups, including the Iroquoians, Algonquians (Anishinaabeg) and Sioux. Introduction landed on “Earth” which was formed only when aquatic animals dredged up dirt and placed it upon A Middle Woodland burial mound at Rice Lake Tur tle’s back (Figure 1). The fact that the falling yielded a marine shell carved and decorated as a Aataentsic was eventually saved by landing on Turtle turtle effigy. At the nearby Serpent Mound, was noted in almost all versions of the creation story; unmodified turtle shells were carefully placed in many sources it is noted that this was not just any alongside human skeletons. At the Middle Tur tle, but “Great Snapping Turtle” (Cornplanter Ontario Iroquoian Moatfield ossuary in North 1998:12). Jesuit Father Paul le Jeune’s 1636 version York (Toronto), the only artifact interred with specifically recorded that “aquatic animals” dredged the skeletal remains of 87 individuals was a mag- up soil to put onto Turtle’s back and that the falling nificent turtle effigy pipe.

  • Monongahela Indians
    As part of the U.S. 219 Meyersdale Bypass project, and in keeping with the provisions of the Na- tional Historic Preservation Act, an archaeological survey of the project area was conducted to determine the impact of the roadway construction on cultural resources. The survey identified 68 archaeological sites, of which 21 were evaluated for their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. Eight of these sites were ultimately selected for intensive data recovery excavations. The artifacts recovered from the archaeological excavations belong to the State of Pennsylvania and are permanently stored at the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This booklet presents some of the results of research and excavations conducted as part of the project. Special thanks to the communities of Meyersdale and Summit Township, Pennsylvania for their support, interest, and contribution to the success of the archaeological investigations.
