  • Archaeology of Northwestern Oklahoma: an Overview
    ARCHAEOLOGY OF NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA: AN OVERVIEW A Thesis by Mackenzie Diane Stout B.A., Wichita State University, 2005 Submitted to the Department of Anthropology and the faculty of the Graduate School of Wichita State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 2010 ©Copyright 2010 by Mackenzie Stout All Rights Reserved ARCHAEOLOGY OF NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA: AN OVERVIEW The following faculty members have examined the final copy of this thesis for form and content, and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts with a major in Anthropology. _________________________________ David T. Hughes, Committee Chair _________________________________ Jay Price, Committee Member _________________________________ Peer Moore-Jansen, Committee Member DEDICATION To my father, my husband, my twin, and the rest of the family iii ABSTRACT This work will compile recent archaeological information about prehistoric inhabitants of northwest Oklahoma, the environments they occupied, and the archaeological studies that have informed us about them. The purpose is to construct an overview of the region that has been developed since the 1980s. Recommendations are offered about possible research objectives that might help tie this area in with larger studies of landscape archaeology, prehistoric adaptations to the area, and settlement systems. The primary contribution of the present study is to compile and make available in a single source some of the important information recently developed for Alfalfa, Blaine, Dewey, Ellis, Garfield, Grant, Harper, Kingfisher, Major, Woods, and Woodward counties. Studies in this area have added substantial information in the areas of pre-Clovis first Americans, the Clovis and other Paleoindian cultures, Archaic, and more recent inhabitants of the region.

  • Violence in the Midcontinent: a Comparative Analysis of Oneota Interactions with Mississippian and Central Plains Populations
    VIOLENCE IN THE MIDCONTINENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ONEOTA INTERACTIONS WITH MISSISSIPPIAN AND CENTRAL PLAINS POPULATIONS by Eric Daniel Roger Nordstrom Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Archaeology and Anthropology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Eric D.R. Nordstrom All Rights Reserved ii VIOLENCE IN THE MIDCONTINENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ONEOTA INTERACTIONS WITH MISSISSIPPIAN AND CENTRAL PLAINS POPULATIONS Eric D.R. Nordstrom, B.A. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, 2016 Oneota is a name given to groups of Native Americans with a shared material culture originating in the upper Midwest around AD 900. Within a few hundred years, objects representing Oneota culture extended from Indiana to Kansas and from Missouri to Canada. This expansion led Oneota peoples to come into contact with Mississippian groups in the Central Illinois River Valley, and up to a few centuries later, with Central Plains populations in Nebraska, an area with less evidence for prehistoric violence than in the Mississippi River valleys where the Oneota developed. This thesis examines direct and indirect evidence of prehistoric violence from archaeological sites in Illinois and Nebraska that show evidence of intergroup conflict and habitation by Oneota, Mississippian, or Central Plains populations, or some combination thereof. Differences in political systems as well as subsistence and settlement practices may have contributed to varying incidence of violence between cultural groups in these areas. iii I would first like to thank Dr. Heather Walder for her direction and encouragement throughout the process of researching and writing this thesis, and for her comments on how to make it better.

  • The Nature of Prehistory
    The Nature of Prehistory In Colorado, mountains ascended past clouds and were eroded to valleys, salty seas flooded our land and were dried to powder or rested on us as freshwater ice, plants rose from wet algae to dry forests and flowers, animals transformed from a single cell to frantic dinosaurs and later, having rotated around a genetic rocket, into sly mammals. No human saw this until a time so very recent that we were the latest model of Homo sapiens and already isolated from much of the terror of that natural world by our human cultures' perceptual permutations and re­ flections. We people came late to Colorado. The first humans, in the over one hundred thousand square miles of what we now call Colorado, saw a landscape partitioned not by political fences or the orthogonal architecture of wall, floor, and roadway, but by gradations in game abundance, time to water, the supply of burnables, shelter from vagaries of atmosphere and spirit, and a pedestrian's rubric of distance and season. We people came as foragers and hunters to Colorado. We have lived here only for some one hundred fifty centuries-not a long time when compared to the fifty thousand centuries that the Euro­ pean, African, and Asian land masses have had us and our immediate prehuman ancestors. It is not long compared to the fifty million cen­ turies of life on the planet. We humans, even the earliest prehistoric The Na ture of Prehistory 3 societies, are all colonists in Colorado. And, except for the recent pass­ ing of a mascara of ice and rain, we have not been here long enough to see, or study, her changing face.

Stokes with Faunal Analysis at Burton #1 Kari Schmidt OKLAHOMA CONSERVATIONCOMMISSION ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH REPORT No. 18 March 1999 2800 North Lincoln Blvd. Oklahoma City, OK 73105-4210 11 PREFACE This report is another in a continuing effort to break the "back log" of unfinished archeological reports related to U.S.D.A., Natural Resources Conservation Service (former Soil Conservation Service) assisted Federal undertakings. This report, authored by Robert Stokes, concerns an emergency dike repair project in southern Cotton County, on property at the time controlled by the Burton family. The actual field investigations were conducted in 1987. It is only now that the information is being presented as more than just field records and "letter reports" on file. As will be seen in the report, the site poses the potential of being a significant prehistoric site dating from the Late Prehistoric Plains Village period. That the site is more than just a cursory or temporary camp site is documented not only by the number of subsurface features, but by the presence of multiple burials as well. Additional investigation of the site following the first round of field work has not been necessary as NRCS was able to avoid directly impacting those areas deemed to be significant.

  • Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge (South Dakota)
    U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE: REGION 6 - CULTURAL RECOURSE PROGRAM Cultural Resources Overview Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge – Southeast South Dakota Barry Gwin Williams January 2012 Humans have occupied central North America for more than 12,000 years and have left a diverse cultural material legacy on the landscape. Several researchers have summarized our understanding of the prehistory and history of the Northeastern Plains (DeMallie, R. J. 2001, Jackson and Toom 1999, Lehmer, D. J. 1971, Schneider, M. J. 2002, Wedel 1961, Winham and Hannus 1989; Wood 1998), and only a brief review will be provided here as adapted from Michael A. Jackson and Dennis Toom (1999). The cultural chronology can be divided into six basic periods: 1. Paleoindian (ca. 9500–5500 B.C.) 2. Plains Archaic (ca. 5500–500 B.C.) 3. Plains Woodland (ca. 500 B.C.–A.D. 1000) 4. Plains Village (ca. A.D. 1000–1780) 5. Protohistoric and Early Historic Period (ca. A.D. 1780-1880) 6. Modern Historic (ca. A.D. 1880–) Not covered. The first three periods refer to prehistoric nomadic and seminomadic cultural traditions with the fourth period defined by the semisedentary, horticultural, Plains Village tradition’s which extends into early historic times. Next the Protohistoric and Early Historic period encompasses the decline of the Plains Village tradition for many peoples and the rise of the Plains Equestrian tradition, which developed as a consequence of the introduction of the domestic horse and European manufactured trade goods. Later in the Historic period, at the end of the Plains Equestrian tradition at ca.
