Wallace, Ph.D., who always thought I’d make a half-decent scientist iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS None of this would have been possible without the knowledge and expert guidance of Rochelle A. Marrinan. Her well of patience never ran dry and for that, I am truly grateful. I am much indebted to two excellent professional potters, Marty Haycorn and Robin Rogers, both of whom have extensive knowledge of and experience in recreating the indigenous ceramics of the area. Both provided invaluable technical explanations for observed characteristics in the collections. Marty’s familiarity with some of the more unusual vessel forms was especially helpful in making connections between partial reconstructions I might otherwise have missed. I would also have missed certain technical aspects of lip and rim construction without Vicki Rolland’s remarks on the use of applied strips. This particular thesis would probably never have been considered had not George F. Sustendal introduced me to all the beauty and variety of ceramics while he was in the process of adding modern Native American pieces to his collection. Our days spent with Pueblo potters in New Mexico also provided great insight. Finally, I thank Harry, Stacey, and Charles for their love, patience, and encouragement. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures vii Abstract xi INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER ONE: HISTORICAL OVERVIEW 7 CHAPTER TWO: ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN APALACHEE PROVINCE AND AT THE O’CONNELL SITE 12 Results of Radiocarbon Dating Analysis 17 Late Mission Period Ceramics 18 CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY 20 Lip and Rim Treatments 25 Lip Treatment on Jefferson Plain Vessels 26 CHAPTER FOUR: PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE JEFFERSON CERAMIC SERIES 43 O’Connell Incised 44 O’Connell Salt/lime Ware 67 O’Connell Punctated 71 Leon Check Stamped 72 Jefferson Complicated Stamped 75 v CHAPTER FIVE: SPECIAL VESSELS, THE SCARCITY OF BASES, OBSCURED STAMPING, AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 77 Vessel 57: Jar with Zoomorphic Adorno 77 Vessel 55: Unique Surface Finish and Basal Indentations 79 Vessel 32: Annular Base and Design Elements in Combination of Four 81 Vessel 37: White Pigment/Substance in Incising 82 Unusual Vessels 82 The Status of the Types Mission Red-Filmed and Alachua Cob-Marked 86 The Relative Absence of Bases 87 Obscured Stamping Patterns 89 CHAPTER SIX: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 94 APPENDIX A: Reference Chart for O’Connell Incised 99 APPENDIX B: Vessel Analysis Sheets 103 BIBLIOGRAPHY 221 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 227 vi LIST OF FIGURES 1.

This activity increases student’s awareness of Florida’s early Spanish exploration, cartography, and geography. GOALS 9 The students will be introduced to the naval routes of early Spanish explorers. 9 The student will understand the significance of consequences of early European exploration. 9 The student will become aware that their community has important historical roots. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND lorida’s documented material history of native people dates back more than 12,000 years. In 1513, a new era in Florida history began with the arrival of Juan Ponce de Léon. His convoy of Fexplorers was the first group of Europeans to document such a landing and gave a name to Florida – La Florida. Soon, Spain, England, Portugal, and France were all attempting to set up colonies in the New World in order to create great empires. The legacy of Spanish Florida was further established by Pedro Menéndez when he founded St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in North America. During the 1600s, called “The Mission Period,” Franciscan friars led Spanish expansion outward from St. Augustine and created more than 100 mission settlements across Florida.

  • Local and “Global” Perspectives on the Middle Woodland Southeast

    Local and “Global” Perspectives on the Middle Woodland Southeast

    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Local and ‘‘Global’’ Perspectives on the Middle Woodland Southeast By: Alice P. Wright Abstract During the Middle Woodland period, from 200 BC to AD 600, south-eastern societies erected monuments, interacted widely, and produced some of the most striking material culture of the pre-Columbian era, but these developments are often overshadowed by the contemporaneous florescence of Hopewell culture in Ohio. I argue that the demonstrable material links between the Middle Woodland Southeast and Midwest demand that we cease to analyze these regional archaeological records in isolation and adopt multiscalar perspectives on the social fields that emerged from and impacted local Middle Woodland societies. In synthesizing recent research on Middle Woodland settlement, monumentality, interaction, and social organization, I make explicit comparisons between the Middle Woodland Southeast and Ohio Hopewell, revealing both commonalities and contrasts. New methodological approaches in the Southeast, including geophysical survey techniques, Bayesian chronological modeling, and high-resolution provenance analyses, promise to further elucidate site-specific histories and intersite connectivity. By implementing theoretical frameworks that simultaneously consider these local and global dimensions of Middle Woodland sociality, we may establish the southeastern Middle Woodland period as an archaeological context capable of elucidating the deep history of the Eastern Woodlands

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: C. Margaret Scarry R.P. Stephen Davis Brett H. Riggs Silvia Tomášková Margaret Wiener Kathleen DuVal © 2015 Mary Elizabeth Fitts ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARY ELIZABETH FITTS: Defending and Provisioning the Catawba Nation: An Archaeology of the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Communities at Nation Ford (Under the Direction of C. Margaret Scarry) In the mid-eighteenth century, several Catawba communities were situated near Nation Ford, where the main trading path that traversed the southern Appalachian Piedmont crossed the Catawba River. Men from these communities had adopted a militaristic strategy of serving as auxiliaries for the English colonies. The alliance between the Catawba Nation and South Carolina, in particular, precipitated a set of processes that transformed the conditions of daily life near Nation Ford. Two of these processes were settlement aggregation and the incorporation of native refugee communities. In this dissertation I consider whether the political process of centralization through which refugees were incorporated into the Catawba Nation was accompanied by parallel changes in economic organization, particularly with regard to foodways. I also examine the impacts of settlement aggregation on the formulation of community identities and the farming and foraging practices of Catawba women. In addressing these topics, I consult primary documents to assess the character of the alliance between the English colonies and the Catawba Nation, and to trace the development of the Catawba’s role as auxiliaries.
