Our co-hosts are the Archaeological Studies Program of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. The conference has also received generous support from several sponsors representing archaeological research and professional organizations and busi- nesses who have advertisements in the program. We thank all these sponsors for helping to make this conference a success. Additional thanks go to Continuing Education and Extension, and the many volunteers. La Crosse has hosted the Midwest Archaeological Conference twice before, once in 1991 and again in 2001. With its proximity to the Mississippi River and its beautiful scenery, La Crosse always seems to be a great draw for the confer- ence, and this year is no exception. At this writing we have over 300 people reg- istered, 179 papers and presentations, and 6 workshops. As you’ll see, this year’s conference features interesting symposia, workshops, field trips, social events, and contributed papers and posters on a wide range of topics. We hope you enjoy the conference and your stay in La Crosse! Constance M. Arzigian, Conference Chair Joseph A Tiffany, Program Chair 2 Table of Contents Page Sponsors ............................................... inside front cover MAC Officers and Conference Arrangers ................................. 1 Welcome ............................................................. 2 General Conference Information ......................................... 4 Maps: La Crosse Center and Conference Facilities ............................... 8 University of Wisconsin–La Crosse ...................................... 9 Program-at-a Glance .................................................. 10 Program Schedule: Thursday: Morning ................................................. 12 Afternoon ............................................... 13 Evening ................................................. 17 Friday: Morning ................................................. 18 Afternoon ............................................... 21 Evening ................................................. 25 Saturday: Morning ................................................. 26 Afternoon ............................................... 30 Evening ................................................. 34 Sunday: Morning ................................................. 35 Symposium Abstracts ................................................. 36 Paper and Poster Abstracts ............................................. 38 Notes .............................................................. 106 Advertisements ..................................................... 109 2012 MAC Announcement .................................inside back cover Cover Design and Conference Artwork: The program cover and 2011 meeting logo, designed by Mike Bednarchuk, combine a photograph of a small sandstone face effigy ex- cavated in 2009 from the Lower Sand Lake Site (47Lc45) in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, with portions of a map of the Swatek Ridge Mound Group (47Cr19) in Crawford County, Wisconsin. The latter was originally published in I. A. Lapham’s seminal 1855 work The Antiquities of Wisconsin (Plate LI.), reissued by The University of Wisconsin Press. Session dividers were derived from both Oneota vessel motifs recovered within the La Crosse local- ity (original illustrations by Bonnie Jancik) and effigy mound outlines from Swatek Ridge. 3 General Conference Information General Conference Information Registration and Facilities Registration La Crosse Center, lower level • Thursday, 7:00 AM–5:30 PM • Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM • Saturday 7:00 AM–NOON Lost and Found Lost and Found will be housed at the Conference Registration Tables.

NEW DIRECTIONS OF PLAY: NATIVE AMERICAN ORIGINS OF MODERN LACROSSE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts History by Jeff Carey August 2012 Accepted by: Dr. Paul Anderson, Committee Chair Dr. James Jeffries Dr. Alan Grubb ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to provide a history of lacrosse from the seventeenth century, when the game was played exclusively by Native Americans, to the early decades of the twentieth century, when the game began to flourish in non-Native settings in Canada and the United States. While the game was first developed by Native Americans well before contact with Europeans, lacrosse became standardized by a group of Canadians led by George Beers in 1867, and has continued to develop into the twenty- first century. The thesis aims to illuminate the historical linkages between the ball game that existed among Native Americans at the time of contact with Europeans and the ball game that was eventually adopted and shaped into modern lacrosse by European Americans.

    Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

    Twenty-Sixth Annual FLINT HILLS ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONFERENCE March 26-27, 2004 PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS Hosted by the St. Joseph Museum, St. Joseph, Missouri in cooperation with the Pony Express National Memorial and the St. Joseph Archaeological Society Cover Photography—A King Hill Excavation Scenes from a University of Nebraska excavation at the King Hill site, 23BN1, in southern St. Joseph, Missouri. Photography by Jim D. Feagins (summer of 1972). Note the museum display on the King Hill site at the Friday reception. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> King Hill, an Oneota Village in St. Joseph, Missouri The King Hill archaeological site is located on a high, loess-covered bluff overlooking the Missouri River valley in the southern part of the city of St. Joseph, Missouri. The King Hill village location contains cultural materials associated with the Fanning Phase (Henning 1998:391-393) a protohistoric/early historic Oneota occupation. This Oneota site is thought to probably represent an early Kansa (Kaw) Indian site (Henning 1970:146, 1993:258; Wedel 1959:17; Ruppert 1974:2). Based on the artifacts recovered, it is felt to have been occupied around A.D. 1700 or very shortly thereafter. The Oneota first appeared in the midwest about a thousand years ago. They inhabited an area that stretched from central Missouri to northern Wisconsin and from northeastern Kansas and eastern Nebraska to southwestern Michigan. They are thought to have developed into a number of historic tribes such as the Kansa, Ioway, Missouri, Omaha, Winnebago, Oto, and others, possibly the Osage. At King Hill, the Oneota women made globular-shaped, shell-tempered pottery, usually with high flaring-rims.

  • Kolomoki Memoirs
    Kolomoki Memoirs By Williams H. Sears Edited with a Preface By Mark Williams and Karl T. Steinen University of Georgia and University of West Georgia University of Georgia Laboratory of Archaeology Series Report Number 70 2013 Preface Mark Williams and Karl T. Steinen This document was written by Bill Sears about 1988 at his home in Vero Beach, Florida. He had retired in 1982 after a career teaching anthropology and archaeology at from Florida Atlantic University. He was working on a book of his professional memoirs, intended to summarize the many archaeological sites he had worked on in Georgia and Florida from 1947 until his retirement. He wrote chapters on his 1948 excavation at the Wilbanks site (9CK5) in the Allatoona Reservoir (Sears 1958), on his 1953 excavation at the famous Etowah site (9BR1), and on his 1947-1951 excavations at the Kolomoki site (9ER1) published in four volumes (Sears 1951a, 1951b, 1953, 1956). These three sites constituted the bulk of his archaeological excavations in Georgia. Apparently he never wrote the intended chapters on his archaeological work in Florida, and the book was never completed. Following his death in December of 1996 (see Ruhl and Steinen 1997), his wife Elsie found the three chapters in a box and passed them on to one of us (Steinen). The chapters on Etowah and Wilbanks are being published separately. The document we present here is his unpublished chapter on the Kolomoki site. It provides a fascinating look at the state of archaeology in Georgia 65 years ago and is filled with pointed insights on many people.
