Dedication I dedicate my dissertation to my loving grandfather, Calvin McInnish and wonderful twin sister, Kimberly Dawn Thackston. I miss and love you. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I want to give my sincerest gratitude to Patrick Livingood, my committee chair, who has guided me through seven years of my masters and doctoral work. I could not wish for a better committee chair. I also want to thank Amanda Regnier and Scott Hammerstedt for the tremendous amount of work they put into making me the best possible archaeologist. I would also like to thank Asa Randall. His level of theoretical insight is on another dimensional plane and his Advanced Archaeological Theory class is one of the best I ever took at the University of Oklahoma. I express appreciation to Bonnie Pitblado, not only for being on my committee but emphasizing the importance of stewardship in archaeology. The many drafts my committee read through the years shows immense patience and dedication to their students. I thank the Caddo Nation and Wichita and Affiliated Tribes of Oklahoma for their continued support. I hope my research lives up to their standards and offers some insight into their past. In particular, I thank Tamara Francis, Phil Cross, Gary McAdams, and Terri Parton. I truly appreciate the friendship shown to me by so many people. The years spent teaching Wichita’s Ceramic Revitalization Workshop has been a privilege and honor. I thank Marc Levine and Susie Fishman-Armstrong for all their help in facilitating my research at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. I also want to thank the Woolaroc Museum, Gilcrease Museum, Oklahoma Historical Center, and Texas Archeological Research Laboratory for giving me access to their collections. iv A special thanks is to the Oklahoma Archeological Survey. The people and friends I made during the years I worked there is irreplaceable. In particular, I would like to acknowledge Marjy Duncan, Bob Brooks, Amanda Regnier, Scott Hammerstedt, Nick Beale, Kristina Wycoff, Kary Stackelbeck, Deb Green, Richard Drass, Susan Vehik, Lee Bement, Brittany Blake, and Brandi Bethke. I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to all my friends and colleagues for their encouragement, all night study sessions, sharing ideas, friend trips, and laughter over the course of grad school. This is not an exhaustive list, but I specifically want to thank LeeAnne Wendt, Karla Oesch, Rose and Joe Pearson, Ali Livesay, Fabiola Silva, Sean Dolan, Paige Ford, Jesse Nowak, Dean Afendras, Elsbeth Dowd, Lauren Cleeland, Sonya Beach, Adam Moody, Liz Horton, Jera Davis, Paul Eubanks, and Eric Porth. A number of agencies have provided financial assistance for this research. This study is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-1702373 and the Nancy L. Mergler Dissertation Completion Fellowship. I also thank the University of Missouri Research Reactor and University of Arizona AMS Laboratory, which provided generous NSF discounts for my samples. Lastly, I would like to thank the Department of Anthropology, Graduate Student Senate, and Arts and Science for both travel and research grants. There will never be enough room to show my appreciation for my family. They have always stressed the importance of following my dreams and getting an education. The morals they have instilled in me have made me the person I am today. They have been there during the good and bad and always cheered me to the finishing line. Love you always and forever. v Table of Contents Acknowledgments………………………………………………………………………iv List of Tables…………………………………………………………………………..viii List of Figures………………………………………......................................................ix Abstract………………………………………………………………………………..xvi Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………………..1 Research Questions……………………………………………………………...6 Research Design ………………………………………………………………..7 Organization of Chapters……………………………………………………….12 Chapter 2: Caddo Emergence and Cultural Variability………………………………...13 A Short History of Research on Mississippian Emergence…………………….16 Ritual Mode of Production and Distribution in Small-Scale Societies………...22 Historicizing the Formative Caddo Landscape………………………………...25 Historicizing Caddo Emergence………………………………………………..25 Formative Caddo Emergence and Cultural Variability………………………...34 Summary………………………………………………………………………..51 Chapter 3: Environmental Settings and Site Backgrounds……………………………..54 Environmental Setting………………………………………………………….55 Site Summaries…………………………………………………………………60 Northern Caddo Mound Sites…………………………………………………..61 Spiro Site (34LF40)…………………………………………………….61 Brackett Site (34CK43)………………………………………………...72 Harlan Site (34CK6)……………………………………………………75 Reed Site (34DL4)……………………………………………………...78 Norman Site (34WG2)…………………………………………………83 Southern Caddo Sites…………………………………………………………..87 George Davis Site (41CE19)…………………………………………...87 Crenshaw Site (3MI6)………………………………………………….91 Boxed Springs Mound Site (41UR30)…………………………………94 Mounds Plantation Site (16CD12)……………………………………..98 Summary………………………………………………………………………102 Chapter 4: Ceramic Style and Compositional Analysis as a Proxy to Understand Communities of Practice……………………………………………………...104 Style as a Proxy to Understand Past Communities…………………………...105 Communities of Practice……………………………………………………...119 Summary ……………………………………………………………………..125 vi Chapter 5: A Comprehensive Analysis of Formative Fine Wares: Vessel Form, Construction, and Design Variability…………………………………………126 General Observations on Formative Caddo Fine Wares………..…………….128 Methods of Stylistic and Technological Analysis…………………………….129 Vessel Form Classification, Distribution, and Construction………………….132 Design Stratigraphy as a Proxy to Understand Overall Design Structure…….185 Summary………………………………………………………………………217 Chapter 6: Compositional and Point Density Analysis of Fine Wares……………….219 Background on INAA Research in the Surrounding Caddo Region………….219 Methods……………………………………………………………………….225 Results………………………………………………………………………...235 Kernel Point Density Analysis………………………………………………..259 Summary……………………………………………………………………....269 Chapter 7: Discussion and Conclusions………………………………………………272 Social Contexts of Arkansas Valley Formative Fine Wares………………….272 Implications of Technological and Stylistic Results………………………….274 Implications of Compositional and Kernel Point Density Results……….…...277 Implications of Formative Caddo Craft Production……………………….….279 Implications of Multiple Communities of Practice…………………………...283 Alternate Pathways to Ritual Power…………………………………………..285 Conclusions…………………………………………………………………...290 Future Work…………………………………………………………………...291 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………..293 Appendix A.

    Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

S. A. RECENTLY DATED PUEBLO RUINS IN ARIZONA By EMIL W. HAURY AND LYNDON L. HARGRAVE (WITH 27 PLATES) FOREWORD In 1921 the National Geographic Society began excavation and study of Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in Chaco Canyon, north- western New Mexico. It was the privilege of the undersigned to direct these archeological investigations from their inception to the conclusion of actual field-work in the autumn of 1927. Pueblo Bonito is unquestionably the finest extant example of that phase of southwestern history known to archeologists as Pueblo III— the period during which small, isolated villages were drawn together into large, complex communities. After a time these communities began to disintegrate ; to separate into lesser groups that spread far and wide in search of more fertile fields and freedom from the attacks of nomadic enemies. Then came, in 1540, Coronado and his fellow adventurers to initiate the Spanish conquest of the Southwest ; to bring about still further disintegration of the peaceful Pueblo tribes and their unique social organization. This Spanish-dominated phase of Pueblo history, from 1540 to the present, is commonly designated Pueblo V.

  • Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region
    Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region Mary Beth Trubitt, Ph.D. (Arkansas Archeological Survey) ake Ouachita was created with the construction of Blakely Mountain Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1953. The lake, designed for flood control, hydroelectric power, recreation, and wildlife man- agement,L covers about 40,000 acres in Garland and Montgomery counties. Before the lake, rural communities such as Buckville, Avant, and Cedar Glades developed in the Ouachita River valley between the 1880s and 1950. There are traces of still older communities beneath the waters of Lake Ouachita, places where Indians lived dur- ing the past 13,500 years. We can learn about this Indian history from oral traditions, from written accounts left by explorers, and from archeology.
