This study applies viewshed analysis to the burial mounds constructed on Rice Lake during the Middle Woodland period of Southern Ontario, to determine whether visual relationships between the mounds and their surrounding landscapes were factors for site selection. Viewsheds to and from these mound sites are generated and compared to viewsheds for contemporaneous nearby non-mound Middle Woodland sites as well as sites from the Early Woodland and Archaic periods. Comparisons are also made between Rice Lake site viewsheds and a randomly generated sample. Site groups are compared statistically and through the use of descriptive analysis. Through these analyses I conclude that visibility was a factor in the placement of mound sites and that the selection of these site locations relates to territorial and ideological interests of the mound builders. Keywords: Ontario Archaeology, Burial Mounds, Rice Lake, Viewsheds, Visibility, Geographic Information Systems, GIS, Environmental Modeling, Landscape Archaeology, Middle Woodland, Point Peninsula, Serpent Mounds, Territoriality, Ideology, Site Selection n Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. James Conolly, for suggesting this topic to me over three years ago and for his assistance in designing and implementing the methodology for this thesis. Additionally, the lab facilities and equipment he has provided for my analysis have made much of this research possible. I wish also to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Susan Jamieson and Dr. Marit Munson. Dr. Jamieson's feedback and advice have been invaluable for the interpretations of my analysis. Dr. Munson's edits and suggestions have provided a valuable perspective for this thesis. I wish also to thank the external committee member, Dr. David Smith, Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto. A number of funding sources made this research possible. External funding for this thesis was generously provided through an Ontario Graduate Scholarship. Internal funding was provided by Trent University's graduate funding, as well as an entrance scholarship bequeathed by the family of Eugene Kuzmin, to whom I wish to extend my thanks. A great deal of thank is also owed to Elizabeth Sonnenburg, Doctoral candidate, Department of Earth Sciences, McMaster University, for her willingness to share and exchange data of the Rice Lake area. Her bathymetric models of the lakebed have provided a highly accurate model for comparison with my own lake level model. I wish also to thank Kate Dougherty, Department Demonstrator, Trent University, for sharing with me her Masters thesis on the skeletal analysis of Mound C at Cameron's Point. I also wish to express my gratitude for the many conversations we have had about iii the Middle Woodland occupation of Rice Lake, and for letting me barge into her office whenever a new idea popped into my head. Brent Stonefish, former manager of Serpent Mounds Provincial Park, and Peter Burnett, current Tourism Operations Manager of the park, have been incredibly helpful and supportive, allowing us to conduct surveys around the Serpent Mounds site. While the particular application of those surveys was dropped from this research it will certainly be very useful for future research and analysis of the mounds site. I wish also to extend my thanks to Cathy Schoel, former secretary, Department of Anthropology, Trent University, for all of her support and assistance. I wish also to thank Kristine Williams, graduate secretary, Department of Anthropology, Trent University, who not only provided administrative support in getting myself and my fellow grad students through the Masters program, but was also willing to listen to us complain when things were not unfurling as they should. Thanks are owed to everyone who has assisted with my field research over the past three years, Chelsee Arbour, Jarret Boyd, Chris Carlton, James Conolly, Carrie Dennett, Kate Dougherty, Jordan Downey, Patrick Hoskins, Zach Knox, Caylanne Lyall, Mike Stringer and Elaine Young. I wish to thank my family for their constant encouragement and support, particularly my parents Jim and Shelia. I would especially like to thank my father Jim for the use of his canoe, and my mother Shelia for lending her editorial expertise to my thesis. All of my colleagues in the graduate program have been very supportive providing their opinions and insights regarding my thesis work, and in particular I would iv like to express my gratitude to Zach and his partner Laura and Teresa and her partner Dave for their friendship over the past two years. I wish also to thank my friends, especially Mike and Mary, who have ensured I have not gotten too stressed over the past two years. Finally I wish to thank Elaine for all of her love and support. I could not have done this without her. v Table of Contents Abstract /ii Acknowledgements /iii Table of Contents / vi List of Tables / viii List of Figures /ix Chapter 1 Introduction / 1 1.1 Purpose /1 1.2 Hypothesis / 2 1.3 Region of Study/ 3 1.4 Overview of Sample and Methodology / 5 1.5 Chapter Breakdown /10 Chapter 2 Landscape and Visibility in Archaeology / 12 2.1 Landscape Archaeology /12 2.2 Visibility in Archaeology /14 2.2.1 Analytical and GIS Approaches to Landscape Visibility / 17 2.2.2 Experiential Approaches to Landscape Visibility / 22 2.3 Problems In Approaching Visibility Archaeologically / 26 2.3.1 Pragmatic Issues / 27 2.3.1.1 Changes in the Palaeoenvironment / 28 2.3.1.2 Object Background Clarity and Temporality / 29 2.3.1.3 Presumed View Reciprocity / 30 2.3.2 Procedural Issues / 31 2.3.2.1 Abstraction/31 2.3.2.2 Robustness and Sensitivity / 32 2.3.2.3 Edge Effect/32 2.3.3 Theoretical Issues / 33 2.3.3.1 Visualism/33 2.4 Burial Sites as Territorial Markers / 33 2.5 Ideology and Landscape / 37 Chapter 3 Cultural Background / 39 3.1 The Middle Woodland Period in Southern Ontario / 39 3.2 The Middle Woodland Occupation at Rice Lake / 40 3.2.1 Chronology of Middle Woodland Sites in the Rice Lake Region 3.2.2 Settlement and Subsistence / 42 3.2.3 Population Estimates and Social Structure / 47 3.3 The Rice Lake Burial Mounds / 48 3.3.1 History of research / 48 3.3.2 The Mound Groups / 52 3.4 The Hopewell Connection and the Rice Lake Burial Mounds / 63 3.5 Ideology, Symbolism and Death in the Eastern Woodlands / 65 3.5.1 Symbolism, Death, Fertility, and Ideology / 67 vi Chapter 4 Methodology / 71 4.1 The Initial Analysis of Visibility of the Rice Lake Mounds / 71 4.2 Constructing the Palaeoenvironment of Rice Lake / 72 4.2.1 Rebuilding the Original Lake Levels / 73 4.2.2 Constructing Palaeovegetation / 76 4.2.3 Considerations of Past Settlement in the Landscape / 82 4.3 Sample Used for Study / 84 4.4 Visibility Analysis of the Burial Mounds and Other Sites Across Rice Lake / 85 4.4.1 Visibility From Rice Lake / 87 4.4.2 Viewsheds From the Mound Sites / 89 4.4.2.1 Quantitative Analyses / 90 4.4.2.2 Descriptive

  • Lithic Raw Material Characterization and Technological Organization of a Late Archaic Assemblage from Jacob Island, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario
    LITHIC RAW MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION OF A LATE ARCHAIC ASSEMBLAGE FROM JACOB ISLAND, KAWARTHA LAKES, ONTARIO A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario © Copyright by Kathleen S. Elaschuk 2015 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program May 2015 Abstract Lithic Raw Material Characterization and Technological Organization of a Late Archaic Assemblage from Jacob Island, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario Kathleen S. Elaschuk The objective of this thesis is to document and characterize the raw material and technological organization of a Late Archaic assemblage from Jacob Island, 1B/1C area (collectively referred to as BcGo-17), Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. The purpose of this research is to gain a greater understanding of the Late Archaic period in central Ontario; particularly information on locally available raw material types (i.e., Trent Valley cherts) and regional interaction. My aim is to define the range of materials exploited for stone tool production and use, and to explore how variation in material relates to variation in economic strategies; I also complete a basic technological study. The collected data is then compared to temporally and geographically similar sites, and used to interpret possible relationships between acquisition practices, technology choices, and mobility. It was found that although the assemblage agrees with some of the mobility and raw material utilization models from south-western Ontario, many do not explain what was occurring on Jacob Island. Keywords: Ontario archaeology, Archaic, lithic technology, Trent chert, lithic economic strategies, lithic raw material, mobility, exchange, Trent Valley archaeology ii Acknowledgements This thesis would not have come to completion without the support of numerous people.

Author: Lisa K. Rank:in, B.A (University ofBritish Columbia) M.A (Trent University) Supervisor: Dr. Peter Ramsden Number ofPages: 275 11 Abstract This thesis examines the socio-economic transition from foraging to farming in Bruce County, Ontario which culminates with the appearance ofthe NodweU village. The near complete excavation ofthis site determined that the NodweU village had both the fonn (settlement pattern) and contents (material culture and subsistence remains) representative ofa small-scale farming community, and was therefore distinct from the earlier forager habitations in the region. As recently as AD 1000 this region was occupied by mobile hunter-gatherers who followed an annual cycle, inhabiting numerous smaIl sites, in nuclear family units. This strategy allowed the foragers ofBruce county to exploit various natural resources throughout the region during the course ofthe year. In contrast, the Nodwell village was occupied by a much more sedentary community ofpeople, living in extended family groups, and producing domesticated crops. This transition occurred in a maximum of350 years. Until recently, this transition was explained using a migration model which suggested that an intact horticultural community had migrated into Bruce county in the mid-fourteenth century and replaced the indigenous foragers.

    FROM FORAGING TO FARMING: CHANGING DIET-BREADTH AND THE MIDDLE TO LATE WOODLAND TRANSITION IN SOUTHCENTRAL ONTARIO (CA. 1450–650 BP) A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Daniel Worby, 2018 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program May 2018 ABSTRACT From Foraging to Farming: Changing Diet-Breadth and the Middle to Late Woodland Transition in Southcentral Ontario (ca. 1450–650 B.P.) Daniel Worby This study examines foraging strategies during the Middle Woodland Period’s Sandbanks Phase (A.D. 700–1000) on Boyd Island, Pigeon Lake, Ontario. The faunal remains analyzed in this study were recovered from a site associated with the procurement of aquatic and terrestrial taxa. Detailed taphonomic analyses have revealed that the Boyd Island faunal remains were affected by weathering and human transport decisions. White-tailed deer was the most frequently acquired prey at Boyd Island, followed by black bear. Using the central place forager prey choice model as a framework, the analysis of diet breadth and carcass transport patterns suggests that most animal resources were acquired from both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, at moderate distances from the site. Incomplete carcasses of large game appear to have been transported away from the site, where they were subsequently processed for provisioning or consumption. Comparisons with other Sandbanks faunal assemblages and those dating to later periods indicate significant differences in terms of taxonomic composition, while continuing to emphasize the use of fish.
