    Was Yankeetown an Angel Mounds Progenitor? A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Advanced Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences 2012 by Phoebe G. Pritchett B. Arts, Indiana University, 2011 Committee: Kenneth B. Tankersley (Chair) Heather Norton Abstract A significant and lingering question in Ohio Valley archaeology is the genetic ancestry and cultural origin of Mississippian peoples. Most archaeologists assume that Mississippian peoples migrated into the Mississippi River valley from an undefined cultural homeland. A plethora of recent archaeological data, however, challenges the cultural homeland hypothesis. An alternative hypothesis suggests that Mississippian culture developed from a pre-existing in situ population in the Ohio River valley, such as Yankeetown. Evidence in support of this hypothesis is the appearance of Mississippian-like artifacts and features that predate developed Mississippian populations. Presently, these diametrically opposed hypotheses remain untested. The development of Mississippian sites seems to happen simultaneously over a large area with a multitude of potential causes. Migration may have played a role in some areas, but not everywhere. Mississippianization of the area may be a result of a combination of human population growth, changes in subsistence strategy, and/or sociopolitical organization. The Yankeetown site, which dates from ca. A.D. 700 to A.D. 1100, has been defined as both a Late Woodland and Emergent Mississippian site depending upon cultural traits and inferred subsistence strategy. It is located in Warren County, Indiana, less than ten miles from the Mississippian Angel Mounds site located in adjacent Vanderburgh County, Indiana.

  • LMS Bulletin No. 5 RESEARCH RESOURCES on LOWER

    LMS Bulletin No. 5 RESEARCH RESOURCES ON LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by STEPHEN WILLIAMS Peabody Museum Harvard University 1979 i RESEARCH RESOURCES ON LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ARCHAEOLOGY Introduction One result of Philip Phillips's decade-long research and publication program on the engraved shell from Spiro has been the recognition by LMS staff that important archaeological materials are very widely spread throughout institutions in the United States. Of course, Spiro is a special case, and undoubtedly artifacts from that famous site had a no­ toriety that led them to be much sought after. Also, because of Phil's detailed study and the extensive "matching" of broken fragments from different institutions, these disparate finds have had a value for his research that would not be true for that odd handful of arrowheads hid­ ing in a dusty drawer from somewhere in the Lower Valley with nothing but a county/state geographic attribution. Nevertheless, I am a firm believer in the value of museum collec­ tions, and, as we are dealing with a nonrenewable resource and escalating costs of data, recovery, I can only feel that it behooves us all to try to make the maximum use of the objects and data that have already been recovered. Virtually every collection listed herein could profit from renewed study. For example, although I studied and photographed the Beckwith Collection in Cape Girardeau for the University of Michigan in 1950, I am sure that I would get much more from another look today. One area of data that remains very underutilized is the visual record: the University of Michigan (JBG's files) and Peabody (LMS) files are probably the largest in this area.
