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.

ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 2015 CENTENNIAL REPORT 3 A TIMELESS COMMITMENT TO ST. LOUIS AS THE SECOND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES, WE CONTINUE TO ADHERE TO THE VALUES THAT SHAPED US A CENTURY AGO. Today, the St. Louis Community Foundation continues to pursue the mission set forth a century ago and more: To facilitate philanthropic and community partnerships that inspire regional good. It acts as a steward of charitable funds which support the causes and organizations that reflect the variety of interests and passions of the generous St. Louisans who donated them – yesterday, today, and even tomorrow. The Foundation also serves as a community resource and provides a forum for nonprofits, funders, donors, and civic leaders to convene and address community opportunities and challenges. Through it all, as it has for 100 years, the St. Louis Community Foundation ensures that the charitable wishes and the legacies of its donors are adhered to and continue to benefit the St. Louis region – for years and decades to come. Take the story of Edward Bredell. Although he died in 1894, he continues to make contributions to St. Louis institutions, thanks to a fund he established in 1896, which is now under the charitable umbrella of the St. Louis Community Foundation. Leaving a legacy in your hometown that spans a century is not only generous … IT’S GIVING FOR GOOD. OUR ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MAKES THAT POSSIBLE. 4 1 FREDERICK H. GOFF The greatest use of TYPES OF FUNDS OPERA THEATRE OF ST. LOUIS I n 1914, Frederick H. Goff transformed 2003 philanthropy by creating the “community 9% ARTS, CULTURE fund” concept, which enables citizens to leave a life is to spend it a giving legacy by combining their charitable- giving assets to fund meaningful community on something that SCHOLARSHIP projects.
