  • 2004 Midwest Archaeological Conference Program
    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.

Colonial institutions profited off the land and those who occupied it. One institution that exemplified this was the Fur Trade. Throughout the North and Northeast colonies, European nations acquired furs from a variety of mammals to meet the trans-Atlantic demand. To maximize profits in the New World many European colonizers turned to Native peoples to aid in their economic endeavors. Native Americans employed trade routes and knowledge of the land to their advantage in the new economic landscape.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

  • EASTERN AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX TRADITIONS in SMALL FORT ANCIENT COMMUNITIES—THE WILDCAT EXAMPLE a Thesis Present
    EASTERN AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX TRADITIONS IN SMALL FORT ANCIENT COMMUNITIES—THE WILDCAT EXAMPLE A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Kristie Rae Martin, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Masters Examination Committee Dr. Kristen J. Gremillion, Advisor Approved by Dr. Robert A. Cook _________________________________ Advisor Dr. Jeffrey H. Cohen Department of Anthropology Copyright Kristie Rae Martin 2009 ABSTRACT This archaeobotanical investigation tests a hypothesis associated with Fort Ancient subsistence activities and settlement attributes. I compare small Middle Fort Ancient (1200‐1400 CE) communities in the Great Miami River Valley of western Ohio to larger, more centralized Middle Fort Ancient settlements, using the Wildcat (33MY499) and SunWatch (formerly Incinerator, 33MY57) villages as case examples. I hypothesize that small communities had less incentive to focus on maize agriculture than large villages and would therefore favor stable indigenous traditions. This hypothesis relies on the assumption that village size, permanence of occupations, and landscape location can all affect any given group's access to plant taxa, food preferences, or environmental impacts. Differences in these settlement attributes contribute to the apparent persistence of Eastern Agricultural Complex plants at Wildcat, which runs counter to the conventional belief that this Woodland suite of cultigens largely disappears from the archaeological record in favor of maize agriculture after about 1000 CE. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Any project involves a host of behind‐the‐scenes‐people who bring everything together. My thesis committee, Kristen Gremillion, Robert Cook, and Jeffrey Cohen of the Ohio State University have generously given me their time, advice, and encouragement throughout this research project.
