CAMERON GREENLEAF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PRESS TUCSON, ARIZONA 1975 About the Author ... J. CAMERON GREEI'LEAF'S fruitful association with Tucson Basin archaeology follows a varied career during which he served as a U.S. Navy Lt. Commander in World War II, then worked for 12 years as a mining engineer and marketing specialist. In 1957 he moved to Tucson from New York state and enrolled in the graduate program in the Anthropology Department of the University of Arizona. Since then he has participated in a number of ex­ cavations for the Arizona State Museum including work with the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society at the Whiptail site northeast of Tucson, at Johnny Ward's Ranch in Santa Cruz County, and at the mission site of San Gabriel Guevavi on the Santa Cruz River. He has also worked at the Fortified Hill site near Gila Bend with the late William W. Wasley, then state archaeologist, and at the Mission San Xavier del Bac with Bernard Fon­ tana, state ethnologist. In the winter of 1965-66 he concluded the excavations at Punta de Agua, the results of which are reported here.

    SEGMENTED AND ASCENDANT CHIEFDOM POLITY AS VIEWED FROM THE DIVERS SITE BY GLEN ALOIS FREIMUTH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus R. Barry Lewis, Chair Professor Timothy R. Pauketat Adjunct Professor Thomas E. Emerson Associate Professor Mark W. Mehrer, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This study contributes to our understanding of the nature of political control exerted by the Mississippian Cahokia polity over small rural villages in the southern American Bottom. Currently two models, which I call the Segmented and Ascendant Chiefdoms, respectively, provide contrasting explanations of the nature and amount of Cahokia control over rural villages. I examine the fit of these models against archaeological data from the Divers and other regional sites. The analyses range over several main topics, including populations, labor requirements, nonlocal artifacts, provisioning, and rituals. I find that the archaeological patterns expressed at the Divers site best fit a Segmented Chiefdom model wherein political control is decentralized and rural villages retain a high degree of political autonomy. Cahokia, as the American Bottom’s main Mississippian town, has the largest population, physical size, elite status items, and monumental construction which I describe as material domination and political dominance. Political dominance requires manipulation of local leaders and their followers for political and social control and this manipulation was expressed through ritual materials and rituals performed at Cahokia and other mound towns. The Cahokia elite created new rituals and associated material expressions through collective action and attempted to gain control of existing commoner ritual performances and symbols but these and political autonomy largely remained with the commoners who occupied small villages like Divers.

  • Prehistoric Culture Diffusion in the Gran Chichimeca
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Eugene C. Lee for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in the co-departments of Anthropology/Anthropology/History presented on May 23, 1985: Title: Prehistoric Cultu DiffWon in the Gran ichimeca Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Richard E. Ro' The Gran Chichimeca is a North American area extending from the Tropic of Cancer to the south to the thirty-eighth parallel in the north, thus embracing northern Mexico and the American Southwest. The rise of the great mesoamerican civilizations to the south of the Gran Chichimeca and the consequent pressure of trade resulted in a northward diffusion of cultural traits, many of which reached the American Southwest. The advantages of various possible routes over which meso- american cultural traits might have been passed are discussed and five specific traits are examined. In the American Southwest, espec- ially, these traits are but dimly perceived and are not accorded the recognition which they merit. These traits have been selected for their unique character and their patent visibility. The character of these five traits and their significance is demonstrated.

Raab certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of Our Dead: Detecting Signatures of Sublethal Warfare through Healed Cranial Fractures in Baja California Hunter-Gatherers __________________________ Chairperson Jack L. Hofman, PhD Date approved: April 18, 2015 ii ABSTRACT Warfare results where environmental change confronts social complexity in hunter-gatherer groups. Lethal outcomes as a result of extragroup violence result. In this thesis, the links between warfare and environment are examined. Hunter-gatherer groups living under environmentally deprived conditions are more likely to engage in violent conflict as the result of competition between groups for resources. The use of violence within groups also adapts to environmental conditions by offering non-lethal outcomes. Where warfare is systemic and environmentally motivated, groups may turn to a regulated means of violent internal conflict resolution mitigating population destabilization. The Santa Barbara Chumash and the Las Palmas culture both reflect an opportunity for regulated conspecific violence to mitigate lethal outcomes through evidence of survived cranial trauma.
