Hi DOLE WOODLAND CERAMICS OF NORTHWESTERN INDIANA AND WESTERN MICHIGAN by W il1iam L. Mangold A Thesi s Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan April 1981 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. MIDDLE WOODLAND CERAMICS OF NORTHWESTERN INDIANA AND WESTERN MICHIGAN William L. Mangold, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1981 Much information regarding the Middle V/oodland occupation of northwestern Indiana and western Michigan has been recovered since the d efin itio n of the Goodall Focus by Quimby(19^1a). The object of this report is to undertake a detailed stylistic analysis of the ceramic assemblages from Middle Woodland sites, including the vessels used to establish the Goodall Focus, in order to elucidate Middle Woodland cultural relationships within this region. An attempt is made to establish stylistic zones through the use of typological and attribute analysis. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When such a large geographical area is the subject of research, many individuals are instrumental in providing information that would be otherwise physically impossible for one person to obtain on his own. By their efforts, these people have served to increase the knowledge of the prehistory of this region. My gratitude is extend­ ed to Mrs. P h ilip Hajek, LaCrosse, Indiana; Mrs. Mary and Betty A lt, LaCrosse, Indiana; Mr. and Mrs. James Lambert, Kouts, Indiana; Mr. Harold Haman, Kouts, Indiana; Mr. Harold Kohley, Renssalaer, Indiana; Mr. Robert Neisus, Wheatfield, Indiana; Mr. Donald Flatt, Shelby, Indiana, and members of the Northwest Indiana Archaeological Association. The members of the Michiana Archaeological Research Team, in particular Mrs. Henry Haynes, Miss Sherry Alford, Dr. L. D. Ramsay and Mr. Donald Mangold, provided much of the assis­ tance in excavation. A special thank you must be given to Mrs. Shirley Anderson of Kouts, Indiana, for providing many leads in research and a place to call home during my trips into north­ western Indiana, and to Don and Terri for putting up with me for so long. Other individuals and institutions which I wish to acknowledge include: Mr. Daniel Bobinski, New Buffalo, Michigan; Mr. Alex Sinner, New Troy, Michigan; the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropolo­ gy; the University of Notre Dame; Grand Valley State College; the Grand Rapids Public Museum; the Fort St. Joseph Museum; the Illin o is ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University M io a ilm s International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    Hopewell Archeology: The Newsletter of Hopewell Archeology in the Ohio River Valley Volume 2, Number 2, October 1997 1. Current Research at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park By Bret J. Ruby, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, Ohio Archeological research is an essential activity at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. An active program of field research provides the information necessary to protect and preserve Hopewellian archeological resources. The program also addresses a series of long-standing questions regarding the cultural history and adaptive strategies of Hopewellian populations in the central Scioto region. Presented below are preliminary notices of recent field projects conducted by park personnel with the assistance of the National Park Service's Midwest Archeological Center, Lincoln, Nebraska. These recent efforts are focused on three Hopewellian centers in Ross County. Two of these centers, the Mound City Group and the Hopeton Earthworks, are administered by the National Park Service as units of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. The third center, the Spruce Hill Works, is privately owned and is being considered for possible inclusion in the park. Research at the Mound City Group Work at the Mound City Group was prompted by plans to install a set of eight new interpretive signs along a trail encircling the mounds and earthworks at the site. Although the Mound City Group has been the focus of archeological investigations for almost 150 years, previous research has focused almost exclusively on the mounds and earthworks themselves (Figure 1), with little attention paid to identifying archeological resources that may lie just outside the earthwork walls.

It is the mission of Berrien County Government to provide: Leadership Cooperation with all units of government Sound fiscal management and planning Thereby promoting public safety, health, well-being and prosperity in order to improve the quality of life for present and future generations. St. Joseph River, north of Buchanan. Photo courtesy of "Michigan in Pictures" via michpics.wordpress.com. MAPS OF BERRIEN COUNTY Detailed maps are available through the Berrien County GIS Department. Contact them at 269-983-7111 ext. 8300. HISTORY Berrien County has received a wide range of accolades. According to American novelist James Fenimore Cooper, Berrien lies in "a region that almost merits the lofty appellation of the Garden of America." A 1718 French official reported, "Tis a spot, the best adopted of any to be seen, for the purpose of living." And John Harner, one of the county's first settlers, wrote in 1834, "it looks pretty good to me; and others are sure to follow." Harner was right. Many did follow, and basing its development on a trinity of fruit, tourism and industry, Berrien County has become one of the state's wealthiest and most populated counties. Located on Lake Michigan in the southwest corner of the state, and bisected by the St. Joseph River, Berrien County has a long history that begins with the earliest explorers of the Great Lakes. Jacques Marquette was the first white man to visit the region. But it was Rene’ Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle who had the first real impact.

Martin 147 pages December 2013 Ogden-Fettie is a Middle Woodland Havana-Hopewell mound group in the Central Illinois Valley. Fv196 is the midden area near the largest mound. The function of Fv196 is in question, because it does not conform to the settlement and function models that have been applied to other sites. The ceramic collection from Fv196 was typed and categorized into categories based on perceived function, either habitation or ceremonial. The majority of the pottery belonged to the Havana series, which is traditionally considered habitation pottery; however, many of the Havana sherds are decorated indicating a ceremonial function.

From the late 1850s to the the mid-1880s, the area containing the mounds was platted and developed. The mounds ironically bear the name of the most important early developer of this area, James W. “Deacon” Converse. During these “improvements” the mounds were leveled by construction crews, the fill was pushed into low areas, and the mounds disappeared.
