VARIABILITY AND CONTINUITY BETWEEN PALEOINDIAN ASSEMBLAGES IN THE NORTHEAST: A TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH BY ~dwardCyrus Moore B.S.

Moore Thesis ~dvisor:Dr. David Sanger An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (in Quaternary Studies) May, 2002 The Paleoindian record in Maine consists almost exclusively of stone artifacts. Of these artifacts, the fluted projectile point is the most widely recognized and researched, particularly its morphology. Very little is known of the technological strategies involved in the production of Paleoindian stone tools or whether these strategies were consistent between Paleoindian sites. This research examines stone tool production methods and technological organization between two Paleoindian sites in Maine (Janet Cormier and Nicholas) using remnant technological attributes observed on discarded artifacts. Both sites are located in southwestern Maine within the Little Androscoggin River. The sites are situated on elevated, well-drained landforms far removed fiom the present Little Androscoggin River channel. The types of stone used for tool manufacture were transported fiom two primary sources, Mt. Jasper in Berlin, New Hampshire and the Munsungun Formation in northern Maine. These two sources are not distributed evenly between the sites suggesting some level of variation in lithic procurement strategies. The stone assemblages from the sites consist of a variety of tool forms manufactured with bifacial and unifacial flalung technologies. Tool production at both sites was organized around a biface Ad prepared core technology. The cores and biface forms associated with these technologies were initially prepared at other locations, perhaps near the quarry, and then transported to the sites. The biface technology is characterized by two strategies. One strategy involved the use of thin blanks that required minimal effort to reduce and shape into a desired tool form, while the other strategy used thicker blanks that involved more extensive reduction methods to produce the desired tool form. Tentatively, these biface production strategies correlate with non-fluted and fluted biface forms, respectively. The variation in production strategies may reflect a more economical use of the lithic resources utilized by Paleoindian groups that traditionally manufactured fluted points. The prepared core technology is best represented among unifacial tool forms, particularly those referred to as distal unifaces or end scrapers. It emphasized linear flaking along flake scar ridges andor comers of the core. The blanks from this technology were typically thick in section with a triangular longitudinal profile. A procedure sometimes associated with end scraper production, and present at both sites, is the removal of a single, parallel flake from the dorsal surface that resembles a flute. Other core forms possibly utilized in tool production include conical-shaped cores, multi- sided cores, and large biface cores. The latter may have been more heavily utilized among the Janet Cormier site inhabitants. DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my daughter Anna.

Bever, Ph.D., Committee Member Ted Goebel, Ph.D., Committee Member P. Kyle House, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School May, 2009 i Abstract Previous research on Paleoindian occupations in the Great Basin has provided many more questions than answers. Central to understanding this early period is the relationship between its Western Fluted and Western Stemmed Tradition occupants. Little is known of the temporal, cultural, and technological behaviors of Western Fluted peoples, while the Western Stemmed Tradition inhabitants are only slightly better understood. This thesis presents the results of intensive technological studies that focused on determining raw material provisioning strategies, lithic conveyance zones, and landscape use to identify mobility and settlement patterns. Lithic assemblages from 19 Paleoindian era occupations, encompassing several environmental zones within Jakes Valley in eastern Nevada, provide data on the technological organization and movement patterns of early humans in the Great Basin, and reveal previously unknown behaviors that help differentiate the early hunter-gatherer groups who made Fluted and Stemmed projectile points.

  • Early Struggles for Bilingual Schools and the French Language in the Windsor Border Region, 1851–1910
    66 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation articles / articles Early Struggles for Bilingual Schools and the French Language in the Windsor Border Region, 1851–1910 Jack D. Cécillon ABSTRACT In 1910, Bishop Michael Fallon of London called for the abolition of the bilingual schools of Ontario because of their inefficiencies. Concerns about the value of a bilingual education and the French language in particular predate Fallon and go back to the 1850s in the Windsor bor- der region. These concerns were voiced by both francophones and anglophones, and illustrate that the struggle for the survival of the French language in the churches and schools of the area predated the arrival of Fallon and the Ontario government’s imposition of Regulation XVII. RÉSUMÉ En 1910, l’évêque de London, Michael Fallon, demanda l’abolition des écoles bilingues on- tariennes en raison de leur inefficacité. Les inquiétudes au sujet de la valeur d’une instruction bilingue et de la langue française, notamment, précédaient Fallon puisqu’elles remontaient aux années 1850 dans la région frontalière de Windsor. Exprimées par les francophones et par les anglophones, elles mettent en lumière le fait que la lutte pour la survivance de la langue française dans les églises et les écoles de la région précédait l’arrivée de Fallon et l’imposition du Règlement XVII par le gouvernement de l’Ontario. Introduction In 1912, the Ontario government, in response to an influx of unilingual French- speaking migrants from Quebec, introduced Regulation XVII, which effectively re- stricted French instruction to one hour a day in the province’s bilingual schools.

  • Winds of Change: Contact History Part 1
    Winds of Change: Contact History Part 1 The winds of change swept over the landscape of the Schitsu’umsh with the coming of Euro-Americans and their imposition of the term “Coeur d’Alene” onto its people.1 Many of these winds would bring a harsh chill over the Schitsu’umsh landscape, threatening its very integrity and incorporating much of it into a Euro-American landscape. While these winds severely threatened, they would not, however, obliterate the trails over which Crane and Coyote and the other First Peoples continued to travel. And more recently, warmer winds would, in turn, contribute to a rekindling of a sovereign Schitsu’umsh landscape. The Horse The first winds of Euro-American change actually occurred long before any Euro-American and Schitsu’umsh set eyes upon each other. The initial Euro-American impact was set in motion with the arrival of a new animal into the Schitsu’umsh landscape - the horse. It 1 I am using of the analytical construct, “history,” to refer to the marking of events on a lineal time-line, from past to present. As such, past events are necessarily only remembered events, no longer events participated in. This Euro-American concept contrasts with the Schitsu’umsh understanding of the possibility of participation in past events. As will be discussed, in the act of storytelling, the creation time is made immediate and the listener allowed to become a part of it. Similarly, in the act of singing and dancing during a Jump Dance, there is a sense that the dancer has become his suumesh animal spirit, transcending his temporal and spatial immediacy.
