UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY: MICROWEAR ANALYSIS OF BLADES AT THE MOUND HOUSE SITE SILAS LEVI CHAPMAN 89 Pages Understanding Middle Woodland period sites has been of considerable interest for North American archaeologists since early on in the discipline. Various Middle Woodland period (50 BCE-400CE) cultures participated in shared ideas and behaviors, such as constructing mounds and earthworks and importing exotic materials to make objects for ceremony and for interring with the dead. These shared behaviors and ideas are termed by archaeologists as “Hopewell”. The Mound House site is a floodplain mound group thought to have served as a “ritual aggregation center”, a place for the dispersed Middle Woodland communities to congregate at certain times of year to reinforce their shared identity. Mound House is located in the Lower Illinois River valley within the floodplain of the Illinois River, where there is a concentration of Middle Woodland sites and activity.

  • 1 Reworked Lithics in the Great Dismal Swamp Erin Livengood
    Reworked Lithics in the Great Dismal Swamp Erin Livengood Honors Capstone Advisor: Dr. Dan Sayers Fall 2011 1 Introduction Archaeologists have long studied lithic technologies across the discipline and across the world. Created and used by all cultures, stone tools were made in many traditions using many varied techniques. Analyses of lithic tools can provide insights for archaeologists and can aid in interpretations of archaeological sites. In archaeological excavations, of both historical and prehistoric sites, lithics are commonly found artifacts. Due to the many toolmaking traditions utilized in lithic manufacture, oftentimes age of the lithic, geographic location of the lithic's creation, culture group that developed and utilized the tool and how it was used can be determined from the artifact. An analysis of material type can also be illuminative in lithic study; all of these aspects of study can lend ideas about past culture groups (Andrefsky 2009). The lithics included in the artifact assemblage from the Great Dismal Swamp include several different prehistoric technologies. Within this portion of the artifact assemblage, flakes (quartz, quartzite, rhyolite, and several kinds of unidentified lithic materials), projectile points, pebbles and other types of lithic debitage were discovered. This paper will analyze the reworked lithics included in this collection. These stone tools, namely the projectile points, discovered through archaeological excavations, shed light on the materiality of maroonage, particularly within the historic, social and cultural landscape of the Great Dismal Swamp. 2 Lithic Technologies Before the Time of Contact Many variations of lithic technologies existed in the United States before the time of contact. These stone tools are separated into distinct groupings based on characteristics of the tool.

  • Geophysical Investigation of an Early Late Woodland Community in the Middle Ohio River Valley: the Water Plant Site
    Geophysical Investigation of an Early Late Woodland Community in the Middle Ohio River Valley: The Water Plant Site Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen L. Royce, M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. William S. Dancey, Advisor Dr. Kristen J. Gremillion Dr. Ralph von Frese Copyright by Karen L. Royce 2011 Abstract Geophysical surveys using fluxgate gradiometer and magnetic susceptibility instruments were conducted at the early Late Woodland Water Plant site to investigate the community patterning within the site. The site was first investigated through archaeological survey and excavation under the direction of Dr. William S. Dancey approximately thirty years ago. The Water Plant site is located in Franklin County, Ohio within the Middle Ohio River Valley region. The re-examination of this site using different investigative techniques has yielded additional, illuminating information. As a result of the fluxgate gradiometer survey, the outer prehistoric ditch at the site was mapped in its entirety and defines the community area of the site. An inner prehistoric ditch and palisade were also mapped during the fluxgate gradiometer survey and additionally, sections of post screens were detected at gaps in the outer prehistoric ditch at the site. The magnetic susceptibility survey data indicate that the site area within the ditches had a high frequency of human use. Based on all these data, the site does appear to be definitively defensive in nature based on the two sets of earthen ditches and wooden palisade features encompassing roughly an 8-acre area and may be one of the earliest occurrences of a fortified community in the Middle Ohio River Valley.

The early Fort Ancient component is represented by Jessamine Series ceramic and Type 2 Fine Triangular projectile points, while the late Fort Ancient component is represented by Madisonville series ceramics, Type 4 and Type 6 Fine Triangular projectile points, and unifacial and bifacial endscrapers. The presence of a marginella shell bead and mica fragments reflect long distance interaction with groups living to the south, and the recovery of a glass bead and a copper bead points to interaction with Europeans. Based on the presence of intact subplowzone deposits associated with both components, and the recovery of human remains, the Howard site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Woodland Period in Pennsylvania I. Introduction the Period of Time That Archaeologists Call the Woodland Started at About 3,000
    Woodland Period in Pennsylvania I. Introduction The period of time that archaeologists call the Woodland started at about 3,000 years ago and lasted until shortly after the first Europeans entered Pennsylvania about 450 years ago. During these years, the way of life of the Native Americans living in Pennsylvania gradually changed as populations grew and new technologies were invented or adopted. One of the first changes that occurred was the use of pottery containers, called ceramics. This began at the very beginning of the Woodland Period. Other important changes occurred later, including the cultivation of crops, the use of the bow and arrow for hunting and life in settled village communities. Archaeologists have divided the Woodland Period into three parts, called Early Woodland (3,000 to 2,500 years ago), Middle Woodland (2,500 to 1,200 years ago) and late Woodland (1,200-450 years ago.) II. The Early Woodland (3,000 to 2,500 years ago) At the beginning of the Early Woodland, about 3,000 years ago, Native Americans living in Pennsylvania had a way of life based primarily on hunting wild animals and collecting wild plant foods. In this respect, they were similar to their Archaic Period forbearers. Animals they hunted included those we are familiar with today, such as deer, bear, wild turkey and many small mammals such as squirrels, raccoons and groundhogs. They boiled or roasted the meat. They also dried meat to preserve it so they would have food during lean times. Wild plants they collected included edible roots, berries and many kinds of nuts, including acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts and chestnuts.
