Especially than5s to Tara, for without your encouragement and perse1erance I would not e in graduate school or e the man I am today. To my mentors at Florida State Uni1ersity, Lynne A. Schepart4, Fran5 6. Marlowe, Glen H. Doran, and Dennis Slice, for inspiring me to ecome a etter researcher, writer, and Anthropologist, I can8t than5 you enough. I would also li5e to than5 all of my fellow graduate students at FSU for their support, ad1ice, and friendship. A special than5s to George Crothers and Nancy O8Malley at the Uni1ersity of 9entuc5y and 9eith :aco i at the Uni1ersity of Ala ama for their assistance and 5indness during my summers spent collecting data. To Eri5 Trin5aus and Sarah Lacy for the use of their porta le x7 ray machine, without which Indian 9noll would only ha1e osteometric data. To Pam and :oni at Thagard Health Center than5 you for their time, effort, and enthusiasm in x7raying the 6indo1er population. Finally, to Christopher Ruff, Benjamin Auer ach, and Li y Cowgill than5 you for your ad1ice and expertise during this process. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Ta les ========================. 1ii List of Figures ======================== ix A stract ==========================.. xiii 1.

  • Turtles from Turtle Island 89
    88 Ontario Archaeology No. 79/80, 2005 Tur tles from Turtle Island: An Archaeological Perspective from Iroquoia Robert J. Pearce Iroquoians believe their world, Turtle Island, was created on the back of the mythological Turtle. Archaeologically, there is abundant evidence throughout Iroquoia to indicate that the turtle was highly sym- bolic, not only of Turtle Island, but also of the Turtle clan, which was preeminent among all the Iroquoian clans. Complete turtles were modified into rattles, turtle shells and bones were utilized in a variety of sym- bolic ways, and turtle images were graphically depicted in several media. This paper explores the symbolic treatments and uses of the turtle in eastern North America, which date back to the Archaic period and evolved into the mythologies of linguistically and culturally diverse groups, including the Iroquoians, Algonquians (Anishinaabeg) and Sioux. Introduction landed on “Earth” which was formed only when aquatic animals dredged up dirt and placed it upon A Middle Woodland burial mound at Rice Lake Tur tle’s back (Figure 1). The fact that the falling yielded a marine shell carved and decorated as a Aataentsic was eventually saved by landing on Turtle turtle effigy. At the nearby Serpent Mound, was noted in almost all versions of the creation story; unmodified turtle shells were carefully placed in many sources it is noted that this was not just any alongside human skeletons. At the Middle Tur tle, but “Great Snapping Turtle” (Cornplanter Ontario Iroquoian Moatfield ossuary in North 1998:12). Jesuit Father Paul le Jeune’s 1636 version York (Toronto), the only artifact interred with specifically recorded that “aquatic animals” dredged the skeletal remains of 87 individuals was a mag- up soil to put onto Turtle’s back and that the falling nificent turtle effigy pipe.

  • ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Sociology and Anthropology Anthropology Program ANT 384 North American Archaeology
    ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Sociology and Anthropology Anthropology Program ANT 384 North American Archaeology Catalog Description: North American Archaeology 3 ANT 101 or 274 or cons inst req. Prehistoric cultures of North America, from late Pleistocene to the occupation of the continent by Europeans. Origin and development of cultural patterns traced and current problems are examined. Course Overview: Prehistoric cultures of North America are discussed from the peopling of the New World during the late Pleistocene to the occupation of the continent by Europeans. The origin and development of specific cultures is traced in several areas including the Eastern Woodlands, Southwest, West Coast, Great Basin, and Plains. This course will combine lectures with weekly labs. The objective of the labs is to expose students to original archaeological reports and articles, which will be discussed as group exercises. Student Objectives: The course has four objectives: 1. To provide students with general knowledge of the prehistory of North America. 2. To provide hands-on experience for each student in the recognition of basic attributes used in the analysis of different materials classes. 3. To teach students how each material class may be used to address specific research questions of current archaeological interest. 4. To provide students with the background to critically evaluate how archaeological analyses are conducted and what some of the major problems are in executing these analyses. Evaluation Criteria: There will be two exams, a midterm and a non comprehensive final. In addition, each undergraduate student will read one monographs (from the list below) and prepare a 4 to 6 page critique.

Exchange of objects was an important aspect of intergroup Period (ca. 8000–3000 cal B.P.) is a bellwether of emergent social interactions, perhaps as a method of maintaining and reaffirming complexity in the Eastern Woodlands. Originating from the Great alliances (11, 17, 20). Exchange networks likely included both Lakes, the Canadian Maritimes, and the Appalachian Mountains, “down-the-line” relations located within the community and Archaic-age copper is found in significant amounts as far south as networks in which individuals or small groups of entrepreneurs Tennessee and in isolated pockets at major trade centers in traveled outside their region on trading missions (20).
