  • I. a Consideration of Tine and Labor Expenditurein the Constrijction Process at the Teotihuacan Pyramid of the Sun and the Pover
    I. A CONSIDERATION OF TINE AND LABOR EXPENDITURE IN THE CONSTRIJCTION PROCESS AT THE TEOTIHUACAN PYRAMID OF THE SUN AND THE POVERTY POINT MOUND Stephen Aaberg and Jay Bonsignore 40 II. A CONSIDERATION OF TIME AND LABOR EXPENDITURE IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AT THE TEOTIHUACAN PYRAMID OF THE SUN AND THE POVERTY POINT 14)UND Stephen Aaberg and Jay Bonsignore INTRODUCT ION In considering the subject of prehistoric earthmoving and the construction of monuments associated with it, there are many variables for which some sort of control must be achieved before any feasible demographic features related to the labor involved in such construction can be derived. Many of the variables that must be considered can be given support only through certain fundamental assumptions based upon observations of related extant phenomena. Many of these observations are contained in the ethnographic record of aboriginal cultures of the world whose activities and subsistence patterns are more closely related to the prehistoric cultures of a particular area. In other instances, support can be gathered from observations of current manual labor related to earth moving since the prehistoric constructions were accomplished manually by a human labor force. The material herein will present alternative ways of arriving at the represented phenomena. What is inherently important in considering these data is the element of cultural organization involved in such activities. One need only look at sites such as the Valley of the Kings and the great pyramids of Egypt, Teotihuacan, La Venta and Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Cahokia mound group in Illinois, and other such sites to realize that considerable time, effort and organization were required.

Stephen Davis, Jr. Patricia M. Lambert Vincas P. Steponaitis Clark Spencer Larsen and H. Trawick Ward Research Laboratories of Archaeology The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 1998 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This inventory of archaeological collections at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the culmination of a concerted effort that began in 1990, even before the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed by Congress. Its successful completion would not have been possible without the help of many individuals and institutions, whose contributions the authors wish to acknowledge here. First and foremost, we thank the many student assistants who worked tirelessly on this project over the past six years. Robyn Astin, Dean Foster and Heather Pearcy began the project by organizing the collections in preparation for the inventory. Later, Elizabeth Monahan assisted in the identification of the skeletal remains, while Jane Eastman identified and described the funerary objects. Thomas Maher and Timothy Mooney carried out all the digital photography. Patricia Samford helped arrange the visits by tribal representatives, and, along with Arlena

  • An Analysis of the Archaeological Collection from the Jaketown (22HU505) Site at the University of Mississippi By: Alexandria El
    An Analysis of the Archaeological Collection from the Jaketown (22HU505) site at The University of Mississippi By: Alexandria Elizabeth Gochenauer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Mississippi in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College Oxford May 2016 Approved by _____________________________________________ Advisor: Professor Matthew Murray _____________________________________________ Reader: Professor Carolyn Freiwald _____________________________________________ Reader: Professor Nancy Wicker © 2016 Alexandria Elizabeth Gochenauer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thank you to my committee, Dr. Murray, Dr. Freiwald, and Dr. Wicker for their input and encouragement throughout the writing of my thesis. I would also like to thank the students of the Anthropology 408 class for their contributions to the catalog: Tucker Austin, Mary Gordon, Tarra Head, Caroline Malatesta, Nikki Mattson, Grace Myers, and Robert Waren. A special thank you to Nikki Mattson and Robert Waren for continuing to work on the collection with me in Anthropology 541; I couldn’t have completed this thesis without your help and support. ii ABSTRACT Jaketown (22HU505) is a significant prehistoric site that is located in the Lower Mississippi Valley. A collection from the University of Mississippi was found in storage and contained an amalgamation of surface collections from Jaketown undertaken during the 1950s and 1970s that were never analyzed and reported. Analysis of the artifacts that constitute the UM Collection may have a meaningful impact on our understanding of Jaketown’s importance. Analysis enabled the identification of the number of Poverty Point attributes, diagnostic features of the Poverty Point culture period, present in the collection. Future research may lead to new knowledge about prehistoric settlement in Mississippi and provide new information about the Jaketown site.
