It is 5 inches long and is decorated with a beaver. The gorget was found with a his­ toric Indian burial 1 mile east of Ottawa, Putnam County, Ohio. 124 Editor's Page I would like to take the opportunity at this time to express my per­ sonal appreciation to all of the individuals who have contributed articles and pictures for publication in the Ohio Archaeologist this year. Without the assistance and enthusiasm of these people we would have simply been unable to compile enough material in which to have continued the present publication schedules. There were some difficulties encountered through­ out the year in regards to obtaining enough submitted reports in time to meet the printing deadlines, which of course resulted in delays for dis­ tribution of our magazine to the membership. There is a continuous lack of backlogue material in our files for use in future issues. We must expect to encounter additional delays in having our magazine published unless a larger percentage of the membership contributes the required amount of submitted reports and photographs. I would especially like to call upon the regional collaborators for a renewed effort to seek the help of the members in their vicinities of Ohio in the request for publication materials. Members are urged to suggest any ideas they may have that would contribute to the improvement and preparation of our Society's magazine. The 1967 season has produced some interesting and informative re­ ports of archaeological activities in the State of Ohio. With the continued cooperation of the Society member who makes it his personal responsibility to send in photographs and stories of the artifacts that he finds, we can certainly look forward to improvements in the quality of the Ohio Archae­ ologist for 1968. 125 President's Page I recently received a letter from Mr. Joseph Dunlap, Secretary of the Allen County Historical Society, thanking the Archaeological Society for publishing the article and pictures on the artifacts stolen from their mu­ seum. On the same weekend several effigy pipes and monitor pipes were stolen from the Ohio Historical Society Museum in Columbus. It seems apparent that the two thefts were perpetrated by the same people. And it is equally apparent that the thieves were knowledgeable and not after common Indian artifacts—they knew what was rare and valuable and that is what they stole. In the Allen County thefts two pieces of questionable authenticity were ignored. The Tremper pipes were easily the most unique of all prehistoric Indian sculpture and can only be duplicated by the Mound City pipes which now reside in the attic of the British Museum. Mr. Dun- lap's letter expressed the hope that the stories would help bring about the recovery of these priceless pieces, a hope shared by our Society. To be quite frank, the thought never occurred to me that the person or persons whole stole these artifacts might be members of the Archaeo­ logical Society of Ohio and may be reading these words at this very mo­ ment. Whoever has these artifacts must face the dilemma of possessing stolen property and being both unable to dispose of it or to display it. Should someone buy these pieces, he then becomes an accessory and is presented with the same problem. These crimes are doubly regrettable in that it not only casts a shadow of doubt upon honest collectors, but it also deprives the public or anyone else, other than the guilty individual, from ever viewing these relics of our past. This great resurgence of interest in things of antiquity in the last few years has inevitably brought into our hobby people who will either counterfeit or steal objects of our heritage for monetary or personal gain. Museum thefts are nothing new, but these are the first major ones of archaeological material in Ohio. Should any of our members have any knowledge of, or be offered any of these pieces for sale, he should inform the proper people. Both the Ohio Historical Society and the Allen County Historical Society are primarily concerned with recovering the stolen property. If the people who now have them, because of fear or conscience, wish to return them, I'm sure that arrangements could be made to transfer them to the places where they rightfully belong. Robert N. Converse President 126 Island Creek Archaie Burial Site Berlin Reservoir Archaeological Survey by DARL J. FIFER Curator of Archaeology, Portage County Historical Society Ravenna, Ohio The Island Creek Burial Site is located on a small knoll east of Island Creek, north of North Benton, Ohio, and west of a small summer com­ munity known as Little Bedford. (See Fig. 1) The land was formerly owned by Charles H. Wright, parcel R-74A. The site had been under ob­ servation by the author of this report from 1956 to the spring of 1966. From the fall of 1965 to the spring of 1966 the knoll on which the site was situated had collapsed 21 inches because of erosion.

  • Simulating Springwells: a Complex Systems Approach Toward Understanding Late Prehistoric Social Interaction in the Great Lakes Region of North America
    SIMULATING SPRINGWELLS: A COMPLEX SYSTEMS APPROACH TOWARD UNDERSTANDING LATE PREHISTORIC SOCIAL INTERACTION IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION OF NORTH AMERICA By Jon William Carroll A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology - Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT SIMULATING SPRINGWELLS: A COMPLEX SYSTEMS APPROACH TOWARD UNDERSTANDING LATE PREHISTORIC SOCIAL INTERACTION IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION OF NORTH AMERICA By Jon William Carroll This dissertation examines the nature of Springwells phase (ca. A.D. 1160 to 1420) sociopolitical interaction and integration during the Late Prehistoric period (post A.D. 1000) in the Great Lakes region of North America. Combined ceramic analysis and computer simulation employing Agent Based Modeling (ABM) supports the interpretation that Springwells phase communities were organized in a form of sociopolitical integration most readily recognized as a loose confederation or interactive network of middle range, tribal societies spanning a broad area. The interpretation presented here differs from those in previous work in that it characterizes tribal sociopolitical organization as the embodiment of a complex system as outlined by the complexity science literature. A revised ceramics typology expands the resolution of the original Springwells phase ceramic typology, thus inserting a more fine-grained understanding of common stylistic design elements. This expanded taxonomy allows for increased resolution relating to the geographic distributions of Springwells stylistic motifs. Agent Based Modeling is then used to explore changes in relationships between cultural transmission (CT) and interactional exchange scenarios. A complexity science approach attributes the overall characteristics of the Springwells social network to emergent properties generated by individual agents that scale up and become recognizable at a system level.

The archaeological and osteological data are provided as a background for analyzing archaeological conceptions of the Late Woodland Western Basin Tradition in Ontario. The Roffelsen site provides a unique opportunity to examine our conceptions of social organization, ritual and landscape at the boundary between daily living and social expressions of death. Themes of memory and memorialization are examined as the enclosure constructed on site functions both to separate the interior and exterior spaces as well as making statement on the landscape.
