Also it is understood that due recognition will be given to me and Lakehead University in any scholarly use which may be made of any material in this thesis. i ABSTRACT The goal of this thesis is to reconstruct the plant component of paleodiet for the Avonlea complex (AD 300 – 1100 BP), an early ceramic-producing culture on the Northern Plains. Avonlea peoples have been assumed by archaeologists to subsist exclusively off of wild plant and animal (bison) resources. However, elsewhere on the Great Plains, this time period witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of domesticated plants such as maize, beans, and squash. In addition to identifying consumption of wild plants, this thesis will examine the extent to which these cultigens were incorporated into Avonlea diet. The plant component of Avonlea palaeodiet is reconstructed through analysis of starch and phytoliths from carbonized and non-carbonized food residue. This sample set included 21 ceramic vessels, 7 stone artifacts, and 3 soil samples obtained from eight Avonlea sites located in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In addition to archaeological food residues, starch assemblages from 45 modern plant specimens were also examined to enable identification of previously unidentifiable wild and domesticated plant taxa. My results indicate domesticated plant use at all of the eight sites examined. The overwhelming evidence for cultigens at these sites indicates that Avonlea groups were actively involved in the acquisition of domesticated plants, which led to the widespread dispersal of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) by at least AD 660 and 710. In addition to domesticated plants, wild rice and other wild plants were identified, indicating that Avonlea peoples collected and consumed a wide diversity of plants. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I began my Master’s degree at Lakehead University, I had never really left Manitoba, and was uncertain how things would go. Any uncertainties quickly diminished as I met the warm, helpful, and supportive NECU classmates and professors that brought me into their fold. As a result, I am blessed with a lot of individuals to thank for helping me in reaching my goals while completing my degree. First and foremost, I would like to thank my Advisor, Dr. Matt Boyd. As newcomer to plant microfossil research Matt provided great mentorship and was always available to help in anyway, even if this meant moving furniture. Matt was always patient while reading and editing every draft this thesis and always supported me and the ideas that I developed. I also thank Matt for the use of laboratory materials that were crucial to the completion of this research. I am grateful to Matt for providing me this opportunity and starting me on my career in plant microfossil research. I would also like to thank my Committee members, Dr. Scott Hamilton and Dr. Tamara Varney, for their careful and insightful comments while editing my thesis. They were a great resource for me, always providing excellent advice and support without hesitation. Scott was especially helpful when trying to find obscure references that were difficult to acquire, yet Scott always seemed to have duplicates somewhere in his office. Without their additional support this thesis would not be what it is today. I also want to thank Dr. Deborah Pearsall for taking the time to provide an excellent and thorough examination of my thesis. I am also grateful to have received funding from Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) that aided in the completion of this thesis. iii There are many other individuals that I need to thank for providing the artifacts that I analyzed in my research. I especially want to thank Dr. Evelyn Siegfried (Royal Saskatchewan Museum) for helping me track down so many interesting artifacts that I was able to study. I also would like to thank Dave Norris (Western Heritage Services), Kevin Brownlee (Manitoba Museum), and Manitoba Heritage Resource Branch for also proving such interesting pottery for me to work with. Although I was unable to include materials from South Dakota in this thesis, I would like to thank Jim Haug and Katie Lamie (South Dakota Historical Society) for searching their records for possible sites that I could examine. I also thank Kyle Lucyk from the Living Prairie Museum for providing comparative plant samples for me to analyze. I also thank all of the field excavators, supervisors, and academics that worked on the Miniota, Broadview, Lebret, Avonlea, Garratt, Remembrance, Sjovold, and Gull Lake sites. Without their efforts, none of the results found in this thesis would have been possible. I additionally thank Allison Landals for providing soil samples from the Miniota site and photos from the Miniota site excavations. I would like to thank Clarence Surette for providing training of lab procedures and plant microfossil identifications. Clarence also aided me in the collection of many wild plants, especially the ones that turned out to be poisonous. Clarence provided excellent advice and friendship during the completion of my research. Last but not least, I am forever grateful for the unending love and support that my fiancée Megan and daughter Abigail provided while completing my research. They always seemed to find a way make me forget about whatever stress I encountered while completing my master’s. Without them, none of this would have been possible and I dedicate this research to them both. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................................. 1 1.1Cultural Historical Context ...................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Methods ......................................................................................................................................................... 5 1.3 Samples .......................................................................................................................................................... 7 CHAPTER 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING ....................................................................................... 9 2.1 Climate ........................................................................................................................................................... 9 2.2.

Hargrove Compiler NORTH CAROLINA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COUNCIL PUBLICATION NUl{BER 14 Published Jointly by the North Carolina Archaeological Council and the Archaeology Branch Division of Archives and History North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Raleigh, 1981 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 1 AUTHOR INDEX 3 INDEX 65 CONTRIBUTING INSTITUTIONS 71 ii Introduction In 1980 the North Carolina Archaeological Council published a bibliography of archaeological papers on file with one of its member institutions. Appearing as Publication 13 in the Council Series, "A guide to research papers in the archaeology of North Carolina on file with the Archaeology Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History" provided a list of 661 works to those involved with archaeological research or resource management. Most of these works, which cover archaeological projects throughout the state, were unpublished. Since the publication of that bibliography, the Archaeology Branch's file of dissertations, theses, articles, and contract reports on archaeology has grown. In addition, many of the major sources of published archaeological works in North Carolina have been indexed for use in environmental review at the branch. As a result, the number of additional references has led to the compilation of a second bibliography. As in the first bibliography, the works l1sted here represent a wide variety of research interests, techniques, formats, and purposes. The geographical focus varies from excavations of single structures or surveys of one-acre plots of land to overviews of physiographic regions that include one-third of the state.

  • A Geospatial Bioarchaeological Perspective on Behavior, Lifestyle, and Activity Patterns in the Eastern Woodlands of North America
    A GEOSPATIAL BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON BEHAVIOR, LIFESTYLE, AND ACTIVITY PATTERNS IN THE EASTERN WOODLANDS OF NORTH AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Kimberly D. Williams, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Clark Spencer Larsen, Adviser Professor Kristen Gremillion _______________________________ Adviser Professor Darla Munroe Department of Anthropology Professor Paul W. Sciulli Copyright by Kimberly D. Williams 2005 ABSTRACT This project tests the hypothesis that the physical terrain directly influenced be- havior, activity patterns, and lifestyle of Native Americans who lived in the Eastern Woodlands of North America. Specifically, this research hypothesizes that a heterogene- ous terrain (e.g., varied elevation, mountains, hills, and steep inclines) results in a higher prevalence of degenerative joint disease (DJD) and increased bone robusticity of the fe- mur, and a less heterogeneous terrain (e.g., flat topography) produces opposite results. Furthermore, this project tests the hypothesis that the biological consequences of a more varied landscape include reduced mobility and limited access to resources at an earlier age. The skeletal sample is composed of the Native American component of the His- tory of Health and Nutrition in the Western Hemisphere database, in addition to data col- lected from seven additional agricultural sites. Spatially referenced databases model the terrain and biological health data for each site and region. Prevalence of DJD and the degree of bone robusticity of the femur and humerus are used reconstruct behavior, activ- ity patterns, and lifestyle.
