It can be assigned to the Fort Ancient Culture, and portrays what must have been the height of fashion in hair-dos--coiled topknot and braided locks along each side of the otherwise shaven head. The pipe is fashioned from dark gray-brown sandstone, and weighs 2 lbs. , 4 oz. Height to the top of the hair coil is 4 1/16", and to the top of the block at the rear is 3 1/4". Over-all length is 5 1/8", width 2 7/16". The diameter of the bowl is 1 1/8", depth 1 5/16"--the stem hole diameter is 1 3/16", depth 1 1/8". The pipe is now in the collection of Dr. Gordon F. Meuser, Columbus, Ohio. - 1 - The President's Page I'm delighted at the aggressive spirit that has prompted two current mem­ bership contests. New members are the life-blood of our Society, and we can never secure enough. Here are the two contests being waged, and any member has a chance to win each one! At the November I960 meeting, John R. Ford of Sugarcreek challenged all comers, promising a $5 value artifact to anyone who would sign up more mem­ bers than he between November 13, I960 and our next meeting on March 12, 1961. There's a truly sporting proposition--Ford versus all comers! Membership Chairman Stan Copeland announces a Society-sponsored mem­ bership drive to run between January 1 and May 13, 1961. The two persons securing the greatest number of new members will each receive a dovetail spear donated by Dr. Copeland, with duplicate prizes in case of a tie. In this contest, three members most likely to be in touch with prospects by virtue of their Society offices are barred from competition--Executive Secretary Smith, Editor Atkinson, and Dr. Copeland himself. For both contests, a new member is defined as anyone who has not been on the rolls of The Archaeological Society of Ohio during I960. It is up to every contestant to notify Treasurer Norman L. Dunn of each new member he sponsors. This can be done by signing your name on all Mem­ bership Application cards you distribute (see below) on the line "Recommended by, " or by sending the names of your new members to Mr. Dunn. Remember-- the new member's dues must be paid before you can receive contest credit! Here's wishing each of you the best of luck in the contests--and all good things in the New Year 1961. Harley W.

Bits of evidence (1) had previously been found that indicated the presence of Gravel Kame People in Allen County. Located in Bath Township, in the southeast corner of section seven, the site is about 3 miles north of Lima on the north side of Blue Lick Road, just east of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad overpass. The outstanding topographical feature of the area is an elliptical-shaped kame, which rises about 25 feet above the surrounding land. The Henry Boose site is situated on the northwest slope of this hill and measures about 75 feet north to south by 50 feet east to west. At the time of exploration, there were no buildings on the site, but at one time this area was part of Henry Boose's farmyard, an excellent drawing of which is found on page 66 of Harrison's "Atlas of Allen County" (2). A large portion of the burial ground is located under the northern half of the principal barn in the picture. Early in 1959 the Lima Lumber Company, having leased this area, re­ moved a dwelling, a barn, trees, and top soil, and began extensive gravel removal. Late in the summer of 1959 several skeletons had been unearthed and staff members of the Allen County Museum were invited to visit the site.

  • The Moon Goddess of the Adena-Hopewell Mound Builders: Archaeology and Mythology of Our Grandmother of the Eastern Woodlands
    The Moon Goddess of the Adena-Hopewell Mound Builders: Archaeology and Mythology of Our Grandmother of the Eastern Woodlands By Jason Jarrell and Sarah Farmer “With the Uncanny one has reached the fringes of the Numinous.” --C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain. During a period spanning roughly 500 BC—500 AD, the Eastern Woodlands of North America were the location of the most ambitious earthworks construction episode in world history. These earthworks were the products of two variations of a single cultural continuum known as Adena and Hopewell, respectively. Adena and Hopewell circulated the same exotic power materials, participated in similar patterns of dispersion and coalescence in periodic gatherings to bury the dead, and expressed the same cosmological model in artifacts and earthworks construction. It is now also understood that both groups came together and participated in the co-operative construction of large-scale ritual landscapes sharing common patterns of astronomical alignments and employing the same measurement unit (McCord and Cochran 2008; Romain 2015a, 2015b). For these reasons and others, archaeologists have come to refer to both cultures together as Adena-Hopewell. Earlier Adena mounds range from just a few inches to massive structures over 60 feet in height, such as the Grave Creek Mound in Marshall County, West Virginia and the Miamisburg Mound in Ohio. The first Adena earthworks other than mounds consisted of circular earth wall enclosures with interior ditches and single causewayed entry points. After the beginning of the Ohio Hopewell “phase” in Ohio (ca. 50 BC), the earthworks program evolved to include construction of massive ritual landscapes incorporating large earth wall squares, polygons, octagons, and abstract forms.

  • Archaic and Early Woodland Research in the Ohio Country
    Otto FM:Layout 1 9/21/08 2:24 PM Page vii PREFACE Archaeology in the Ohio area, especially relating to societies who were re- sponsible for constructing earthen mounds, holds a significant place in the history of U.S. archaeology. Archaeological inquiry began with the study of those sacred earthen mounds initially built by indigenous societies some three thousand years ago. The American myth of an unknown, imaginary race of nonindigenous peoples responsible for building these dispersed conical mounds, particularly abundant in the middle Ohio Valley, spread with western expan- sion. It was not until Cyrus Thomas’s excavations of many of these mounds in the late nineteenth century that this myth was eventually dispelled, with credit rightfully given to indigenous peoples. A central question posed by the emergent profession of archaeology then became, who were these people? Excavation of the large conical Adena mound in Chillicothe, Ohio, by William Mills in 1901 yielded a richness of funerary ar- tifacts that initiated Adena studies. Continued excavations of earthen conical mounds over the next five decades added to the inventory of material traits that defined the Adena culture, presumed at the time to represent a single, unified tribe analogous to contemporary Native American tribes. These trait lists continued to grow as archaeology refined its chronological placement of cultures, establishing the “Early Woodland” culture as distinct from that of the “Late Archaic” period, which roughly subsumed the transition from no- madic to sedentary archaeological cultures. By the 1960s, archaeologists ac- cepted the Adena as a specific kind of Early Woodland society: a shamanistic, kin-based culture centered along the middle Ohio Valley but with influence— evidenced by their iconic burial mounds—elsewhere in the eastern portion of the continent.

    THE BULLETIN Number 53 November 1971 CONTENTS Preface - L.A.B and Stanley Wisniewski 1 The Ryders Pond Site - Julius Lopez and Stanley Wisniewski 2 The Hammerstone Rockshelter - Paul L. Weinman and Thomas P. Weinman 22 Minutes of the 55th Annual Meeting, New York State Archeological Association 24 Book Note - L.A.B 28 No. 53, November 1971 1 Editorial Preface: The Ryders Point Site The publication of the following report by the late Julius Lopez on the vanished Ryders Pond site in Brooklyn has been delayed for the past few years by considerations of space, finance and policy. Its eventual publication, however, was inevitable and obligatory; it may well be the only report ever to be made on a Brooklyn site by a competent archaeologist dealing with the material in relatively modern terms. The data had been assembled and part of the report was in manuscript before Mr. Lopez's death on December 5, 1961. It was then turned over for completion to a colleague, Stanley Wisniewski, by Mr. Lopez's widow, Mrs. Eleanor Lopez. In its completed form it was much too lengthy for publication in a single or even two issues of The Bulletin, but its uniqueness as a record precluded thought of serious cutting or condensation. After much discussion the decision, approved by Mr. Wisniewski, Mrs. Lopez, and the editorial committee of NYSAA, has been to publish in three parts: the site history and lithics section in this issue, the ceramics and conclusion section and bibliography in the July, 1972, issue, and an addendum on four kaolin pipes by the late F.

  • Ancestor Veneration As a Component of House Identity Formation in the Early Woodland Period
    ANCESTOR VENERATION AS A COMPONENT OF HOUSE IDENTITY FORMATION IN THE EARLY WOODLAND PERIOD Michael Striker Although local group identity in the Midwest has been traced as far back as the Middle Archaic (6500 to 5000 B.P.) (Jefferies 1997), it is during the Late Archaic and Early Woodland Periods that people in this region began to engage in activities that differentiate local groups from one another in ways that are readily detectable by archaeologists (Jefferies 1990). One way in which groups differentiate themselves is through mortuary practices. The fact that archaeological cultures, horizons, traditions, and phases such as Glacial Kame, Old Copper, Shell Mound Archaic have been defined, at least in part, on mortuary practices (Griffin 1978) testifies to the importance of these activities in the formation of group identity during the Late-Holocene. One of these archaeological “cultures” that is based almost entirely on mortuary patterns is the Adena (Webb and Snow 1959; Webb and Baby 1957; Dragoo 1963). The perceived prevalence of mortuary ceremonialism in the Adena culture has lead to the interpretation that there were particular “honored dead” (Seeman 1986:576; Webb and Snow 1959:38) among these people. It is far more likely, however, that these were not “Mounds for the Dead” as the title of Dragoo’s (1963) famous book tells us, but rather mounds for the ancestors. That is to say that the mounds were not constructed to mark the location of the dead, but that of the ancestors who continued to play a role in the society. From an emic perspective, ancestors were able to act in both the world of the living, and in the 2 supernatural realm.
