The relative obscurity of ESO is largely attributable to the concentration of public lands in the Far West managed by BLM and the scarcity of such lands within the 31 states bordering and east of the Mississippi River. Within this 31 state area of ESO's jurisdiction, no more than 60,000 acres remain as federally- owned public domain. In marked contrast to the relative paucity of BLM surface-administered lands in the east are the estimated 25 million subsurface acres on which ESO controls developable mineral rights. This Federal Mineral Ownership—FMO— is located beneath lands managed by other Federal and State agencies or owned privately and is termed split-estate. Leasing of the various minerals, predom- inately coal and oil and gas, is the ESO's primary mission. While mineral leasing is the primary mission, ESO also must ensure that other important resource values such as cultural resources are protected. The Background to Historic and Prehistoric Resources of Eastern Kentucky provides an overview of eastern Kentucky, where ESO manages approxi- mately 150,000 acres of FMO. The primary objectives of the study were to compile existing information on historic and prehistoric resources in a 35-county area and to character- ize the nature, number and distribution of known cultural properties located on the discontiguous parcels of FMO in eastern Kentucky. Studies such as this provide federal managers with the information base needed to make sound decisions on long-term planning and management that include protection for cultural resources. >i co cu 4-> u 3 u JCa fO m CP -u j3 —a CO c o •H 4J <U > (d o X cu c •H +J ^-. to >1 M ^ 4J u CO 3 •H 4-> c c •H CU e * TJ < 4-1 CO 4J >i O +j CU •H n CO u u CU cu > •H M c U D £ fc >i en o c •H H ^ 3 a T3 s^ ^J X CU 4J -P c r-H < CU JG 4-1 MCO U e 3 « CU CO .c 3 co S (O fc^ CU X! 4-J 4-> 5 2CU 4-1 The current study points out that although a long sequence of prehistoric and historic occupation is represented in the study area, it is poorly understood. The researchers attribute this to the "fact that information currently available from the region is little more than highly biased inventory data." The lack of previous systematic on-the- ground inventory in eastern Kentucky, of particular concern within the Daniel Boone National Forest, highlights the need for Federal land-managing agencies to cooperate in arch- aeological projects where their interests overlap. In view of these problems and the overall shrinking cultural resource budgets facing many agencies, the advantages of inter-agency cooperation in this and other areas become more apparent. The researchers identify the benefits of such cooperation in their management recommendations. This publication represents the first volume in a continu- ing series of significant cultural resource reports resulting from BLM-sponsored studies in the eastern states. I believe this publication will prove useful and valuable as a document on which to build in archaeology and history in eastern Kentucky.

This investigation was initiated in order to furnish data pertinent to land use planning on Federal Mineral Ownership (FMO) lands in Kentucky. A Class I inventory study includes an inventory of existing data and a review and compilation of known data from a given region, in this case eastern Kentucky. This document consists of five chapters. These include: 1) a discussion of the past and present environmental setting of the study area; 2) a review of the cultural developments, both prehistoric and historic which have taken place in the study area; 3) a discussion of the existing data with particular emphasis on the biases inherent in these data; 4) a discussion of potential research questions and problem domains for structuring future investigations specific to eastern Kentucky; and 5) management recommendations for the study area's cultural properties. These recommendations provide a framework for assessing the significance of known and yet- to-be discovered archeological and historic properties. Moreover, these recommendations provide a foundation for the development of an effective program designed to identify and manage such properties located on lands containing federally owned minerals in eastern Kentucky. n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors owe a debt of gratitude to a number of individuals who have contributed to the present study. Dr. R. Berle Clay, Office of State Archaeology, Lexington, Kentucky was most generous with his time, facilities and valuable information. Without his help the project could not have been completed.

The authors greatly appreciate the assistance provided by all. in MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a number of mandated responsibilities with regard to archeological and historic properties located on lands under their control or jurisdiction. Among these responsibilities is a requirement to identify, evaluate, and protect significant properties (cultural resources). Moreover, BLM is charged to provide for appropriate public and research use of this resource base and to ensure that agency undertakings or policies do not inadvertently harm or destroy such properties. The resources which are the subject of the following document are not limited to archeological sites but also include all manner of historical and cultural properties due to their ethnic, architectural, historical, artistic, or other contributions to this country's national heritage. Within the framework of the BLM's mandated responsibilities to cultural resources, this agency's Eastern States Office has contracted with Environment Consultants, Inc., to produce a Class I study of the project area. This volume represents the results of this effort and includes a review and compilation of known data pertinent to cultural resources located on lands on which the Federal government owns the mineral rights. The document contains six chapters including an introduction, a discussion of the effective environment of the project area, an overview of the cultural and chronological developments that have occurred in eastern Kentucky, and three final sections which deal specifically with the data base, considerations for future research, and finally management recommendations.

  • Parker Adkins & Blue
    Parker Adkins & Blue Sky: Was Their Story Possible? June 2, 2017 / Parker Adkins (links removed) Researched & written by Sarah (Sallie) Burns Atkins Lilburn, Georgia June, 2017 INTRODUCTION Parker Adkins’s parents, William Atkinson (Adkins) and Elizabeth Parker were married on January 17, 1716, at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia. One branch of Parker’s descendants has embraced the story that, in addition to the children he had with his wife, Mary, he had two children by a daughter of Chief Cornstalk named Blue Sky and when Blue Sky died, Parker took his two half-Shawnee children, Littleberry and Charity, home to his wife, Mary, who raised them along with their other children. No proof existed, one way or another, until 2016 when a direct female descendant of Charity Adkins was located and agreed to have her mitochondrial DNA analyzed. Mitochondrial DNA traces a female’s maternal ancestry, mother-to-mother-to-mother, back through time. The DNA came back as Haplogroup H, the most common female haplogroup in Europe. Charity’s mother was a white woman with mostly English and Irish ancestry. Many other women match her descendant’s DNA kit, all of them with the same basic ancestry. Some members of the Adkins family who have long embraced Blue Sky as their ancestor did not accept the DNA results so I researched and put together the following paper trail in an attempt to validate the story, beginning with Littleberry and Charity Adkins. This information was posted on the Adkins Facebook page over a period of time. I have consolidated the posts into one document – a future reference for everyone who has heard or is interested in this story.

  • History, Monumentality, and Interaction in the Appalachian Summit Middle Woodland
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ History, Monumentality, And Interaction In The Appalachian Summit Middle Woodland By: Alice P. Wright Abstract The Middle Woodland period in eastern North America witnessed a florescence of monumental architecture and material exchange linked to widespread networks of ritual interaction. Although these networks encompassed large geographic areas and persisted for several centuries, extant archaeological models have tended to characterize Middle Woodland interaction as an historically unitary process. Using new data from the Garden Creek site in North Carolina, I argue that these frameworks obscure important historical shifts in Middle Woodland interaction. Recent collections-based research, geophysical survey, targeted excavation, and 14C dating (including Bayesian modeling) of this site reveal two coeval diachronic changes: a shift from geometric earthwork construction to platform mound construction; and a shift from the production of special artifacts (mica, crystal quartz) to the consumption of exotic artifacts in association with platform mound ceremonialism. These data hint at important changes in interregional relationships between the Appalachian Summit, the Hopewellian Midwest, and the greater Southeast during the Middle Woodland period, and provide a springboard for considering how processes of culture contact contributed to precolumbian cultural change.

The presence of non-local cherts, bladelets, and bladelet cores indicates a Middle Woodland Ohio Hopewell occupation. Raw material sourcing, debitage analyses, and a use-wear analysis uncovered that Spracklen functioned as a logistical hunting campsite. Its people utilized bladelets for butchery and hide-working processes.

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.

INDEX MAN OF THE CLOUDS MARPIYAWICASTA 1750 Harold Hickerson has established that during the 18th and early 19th Centuries, there was a contested zone between the Ojibwa of roughly Wisconsin and the Dakota of roughly Minnesota that varied in size from 15,000 square miles to 35, 000 square miles. In this contested zone, because natives entering the region to hunt were “in constant dread of being surprised by enemies,” game was able to flourish. At this point, however, in a war between the Ojibwa and the Dakota for control over the wild rice areas of northern Minnesota (roughly a quarter of the caloric intake of these two groups was coming from this fecund wild rice plant of the swampy meadows) , the Ojibwa decisively won.
