40Th Flint Hills Archaeological Conference, Lawrence, Kansas March 23 – 24, 2018
40th Flint Hills Archaeological Conference, Lawrence, Kansas March 23 – 24, 2018 Abstracts (Alphabetical by first author last name) Bevitt, Wendi Buried Past Consulting, LLC Daughter of Dawn and the Promotion of Native American Culture In 2004, the silent motion picture, Daughter of Dawn was rediscovered, lost to history since the late 1920s. Daughter of Dawn was instantly recognized for its historical importance because it starred over 200 Comanche and Kiowa tribe members. The film had been a part of a nationwide movement to capture the rapidly disappearing Native American culture due to the assimilation directives set forth by the United States government. Unique not only because of its stars, but also because it was originated in part by the members of the tribes. This talk will focus not only on Daughter of Dawn’s historical significance, but also its ties to Kansas history. Blakeslee, Donald J. Wichita State University Probing Etzanoa Eyewitnesses described the ancestral Wichita town called Etzanoa as extending for about five miles and having a population on the order of 20,000 people. Of that whole expanse, we know of only one spot of 57 acres that is neither under the modern town nor under agricultural fields. In 2015, magnetometry that covered a few acres of that total showed the presence of two dense clusters of artifacts. Excavation in 2017 uncovered small portions of a third such cluster. In order to deal with the much larger but disturbed portions of the town, we have begun to apply a variety of standard surface survey and remote sensing techniques, both to the unplowed portion and to other spots. -
