    CHUNKEY, CAHOKIA, AND INDIGENOUS CONFLICT RESOLUTION by ANNE GREGORY A THESIS Presented to the Conflict and Dispute Resolution Program and the Graduate School of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science June 2020 THESIS APPROVAL PAGE Student: Anne Gregory Title: Chunkey, Cahokia, and Indigenous Conflict Resolution This thesis has been accepted and approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science degree in the Conflict and Dispute Resolution Program by: Kirby Brown Chair Eric Girvan Member and Kate Mondloch Interim Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2020. ii © 2020 Anne Gregory This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (United States) License. iii THESIS ABSTRACT Anne Gregory Master of Science Conflict and Dispute Resolution June 2020 Title: Chunkey, Cahokia, and Indigenous Conflicts Resolution Chunkey, a traditional Native American sport, was a form of conflict resolution. The popular game was one of several played for millennia throughout Native North America. Indigenous communities played ball games not only for the important culture- making of sport and recreation, but also as an act of peace-building. The densely populated urban center of Cahokia, as well as its agricultural suburbs and distant trade partners, were dedicated to chunkey. Chunkey is associated with the milieu surrounding the Pax Cahokiana (1050 AD-1200 AD), an era of reduced armed conflict during the height of Mississippian civilization (1000-1500 AD). The relational framework utilized in archaeology, combined with dynamics of conflict resolution, provides a basis to explain chunkey’s cultural impact.

  • Pierce Mounds Complex an Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida
    Pierce Mounds Complex An Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida Nancy Marie White Department of Anthropology University of South Florida, Tampa [email protected] Final Report to George J. Mahr, Apalachicola, Florida December 2013 ii ABSTRACT The Pierce site (8Fr14), near the mouth of the Apalachicola River in Franklin County, northwest Florida, was a major prehistoric mound center during the late Early and Middle Woodland (about A.D. 200-700) and Mississippian (about A.D. 1000-1500) periods. People lived there probably continuously during at least the last 2000 years (until right before the European invasion of Florida in the sixteenth century) and took advantage of the strategic location commanding the river and bay, as well as the abundant terrestrial and aquatic resources. Besides constructing several mounds for burial of the dead and probably support of important structures, native peoples left long midden (refuse) ridges of shells, animal bones, artifacts and blackened sandy soils, which built up a large and very significant archaeological site. Early Europeans and Americans who settled in the town of Apalachicola recognized the archaeological importance of Pierce and collected artifacts. But since the site and its spectacular findings were published by C.B. Moore in 1902, much information has been lost or misunderstood. Recent investigations by the University of South Florida were commissioned by the property owner to research and evaluate the significance of the site. There is evidence for an Early Woodland (Deptford) occupation and mound building, possibly as early as A.D. 200. Seven of the mounds form an oval, with the Middle Woodland burial mounds on the west side.

Beer lovers, rejoice! The fall of 2013 marked the launch of Louisiana’s Brewery Trail, a seven-stop exploration of the craft breweries that call Louisiana home. These breweries feature beers created with Louisiana’s food culture in mind—after all, what better to drink with a local dish than a local beer? The elder statesman of Louisiana’s craft breweries is Abita Brewing Company, which opened in 1986 in Abita Springs and is now the 14th-largest craft brewer in the nation. Rounding out the trail are Bayou Teche Brewing in Arnaudville, Chafunkta Brewing Company in Mandeville, Covington Brewhouse in Covington, NOLA Brewing Company in New Orleans, Parish Brewing Company in Broussard and Tin Roof Brewing Company in Baton Rouge. Each brewery on the trail allows guests to visit and sample its roster of beers, including pale ales, pilsners, strawberry beers and coffee porters. More breweries will be added soon. Check the site frequently for new experiences. Feeling thirsty? Get all the information you’ll need to set SHREVEPORT out on the Brewery Trail at www.LouisianaBrewTrail.com.

  • The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area
    The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Selected Level 0 Cultural Landscape Assessments 2010 Suzanne Turner Associates, LLC Consultant for Historic Landscapes 635 Louisiana Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Suzanne Turner, FASLA John Welch, RLA Nick Musso, ASLA This study was initiated by the State of Louisiana, Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, in order to fulfill federal mandates related to funding and designation of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Debra Credeur, Executive Director of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area spearheaded the selection of the cultural resources that were surveyed, in order to represent the region in areal extent, cultural resource type, and importance of the different resources in the basin. The primary resources for the site selection process were 1) the National Park Service Cultural Landscape Management Guideline, and 2) a Heritage Resource Screening Process used by a similar heritage area with an approved Management Plan. This process selects resources under the broader categories of cultural, historical, natural and recreational, which is consistent with our enabling legislation, and then breaks these categories down further into themes. The National Park Service Planning Team then consulted with the State of Louisiana Architectural Historian and National Register Coordinator to select National Historic Landmarks and other cultural landscapes that reflect heritage area themes. Effort was made to have all types of landscapes represented as well as all 14 parishes. The individual assessments will be used as references for similar types of resources for projects in the future. Suzanne Turner Associates was contracted to conduct a “Level 0” assessment of selected properties within the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, and to document the basic history of the site, construct a bibliography and partial literature review for each subject property, and document existing threats to the cultural assets of the region.

  • Updated Publications by County List
    Updated Publications By County List Where do you go to find out about the archaeology of Wisconsin, South Dakota, Montana, or Geor- gia? To The Missouri Archaeologist, of course. In addition to all the information on Missouri archaeology, the Society has published information on those states and several others in the years since publication began in 1935. The Society has recently updated the index of MAS publications by county to help those interested in a certain region find books about their area (and to reduce the MAS inventory). While working on the in- dex it was discovered that not all the publications can be related to a Missouri county, some pertain to other states, some to topics (like Terry Martin’s important work on “The Early Woodland Period in Missouri” in Volume 58), and some pertain to regions like the Kansas City area. The publications list does not include articles in the Quarterly. There are many important articles in the Quarterly and indexing them by county will be a future project. The main intent was to create an index by county and there is at least something published on 72 of Missouri’s 114 counties, a little over 60%. Saline County leads in number of articles, partly due to the Society’s and the university’s long involvement with the Utz site. If there isn’t anything on your county please consider writing something. Some of the earlier Missouri Archaeologists which include county surveys would be a good model to follow. Please read the notes at the end of the list.
