Colonial institutions profited off the land and those who occupied it. One institution that exemplified this was the Fur Trade. Throughout the North and Northeast colonies, European nations acquired furs from a variety of mammals to meet the trans-Atlantic demand. To maximize profits in the New World many European colonizers turned to Native peoples to aid in their economic endeavors. Native Americans employed trade routes and knowledge of the land to their advantage in the new economic landscape.

    AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION SECTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW SUMMER 2008, VOL. I, ISSUE NO. III WHAT EFFECT WILL THE AAMD GUIDELINES HAVE ON THE ANTIQUITIES MARKETS? By Erin Thompson, New York In 2004, an Italian court convicted Giacomo Medici, an Italian OFFICIADUNT citizen, of dealing in illicitly excavated antiquities. The fascinating story of Italy’s investigation into Medici and his antiquities smuggling ring is detailed in The Medici Conspiracy, a book by Peter Watson and Cecilia Todeschini. CONTENTS Medici and his accomplices kept meticulous records of the illicit antiquities which passed through their hands. Thanks to these TRAFFICKING NEWS records, Italy has recently successfully demanded the return of NOTES illegally-exported Italian antiquities from the collections of PAGE 3 American museums, including the Getty Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and Metropolitan Museum of Art. BARAKAT EXPLAINED In 2008, the American Association of Museum Directors PAGE 6 (“AAMD”), an influential professional organization, reacted to Italy’s aggressive repatriation demands by formulating a new set of RELOCATING THE guidelines for the purchase of antiquities (available at BARNES FOUNDATION www.aamd.org). The guidelines are not binding on member PAGE 10 museums, but several museums have released statements indicating that they will follow the AAMD’s recommendations. ON THE BEAT! The guidelines recommend that AAMD member museums should COMMITTEE NEWS AND not normally acquire an antiquity unless the museum’s own EVENTS research shows that the object left its country of origin before 1970, PAGE 13 the date of the relevant UNESCO Convention. This is an admirable change from the previous practice of relying on antiquities dealers DECLARATORY to provide information about the provenance and history of the JUDGMENTS AND objects they sold.

  • Indian Head Rock Trial Set for May: Shaffer Faces Charges in Civil Case
    The Ironton Tribune, Ohio Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Business News February 23, 2010 Tuesday Indian Head Rock trial set for May: Shaffer faces charges in civil case BYLINE: Benita Heath, The Ironton Tribune, Ohio SECTION: STATE AND REGIONAL NEWS LENGTH: 461 words Feb. 23--ASHLAND, Ky. -- A court date has been set in the civil lawsuit against Ironton historian Steve Shaffer over his part in the removal of the Indian Head Rock from the Ohio River almost three years ago. Shaffer had faced criminal charges in Kentucky for removing an object of antiquity and/or defacing an archaeological site. However those charges were dropped in August 2009 in the courtroom of Greenup Circuit Judge Robert Conley when the state withdrew them on the grounds that the rock Shaffer had removed was not the historic object in question. As the criminal case was going forward, the Commonwealth of Kentucky filed the civil suit in February of 2009. Now that case is scheduled to come before U.S. District Judge Henry R. Wilhoit Jr. on May 11 in the federal building in Ashland. Kentucky is suing Shaffer, the city of Portsmouth, former Portsmouth Mayor Gregory Bauer and David Vetter, a diver involved in the rock expedition. "Kentucky was and is the rightful owner of the site in the Ohio River from which the Indian Head Rock was designated," the complaint states. "By removing Indian Head Rock from its archaeological site in the Ohio River without having first obtained a permit from the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology, Defendants committed a violation of KRS 164.720." However in a motion filed this summer, Ashland-based attorney Mike Curtis, who represents Shaffer, argued that the rock Shaffer retrieved is not the Indian Head Rock.

  • An Administrative History of the Midwest Archeological Center, Lincoln, Nebraska
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska An Administrative History of the Midwest Archeological Center, Lincoln, Nebraska Report prepared by the Organization of American Historians for the National Park Service Theodore Catton, Principal Investigator Thomas Thiessen, Co-Author 2019 An Administrative History of the Midwest Archeological Center, Lincoln, Nebraska Report prepared by the Organization of American Historians for the National Park Service Theodore Catton, Principal Investigator Thomas Thiessen, Co-Author United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2019 PREFACE The Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC) is a field office of the National Park Service in Lincoln, Nebraska, where a staff of archeologists and support personnel conduct archeological research and conservation. The Center is dedicated to preserving, investigating, and interpreting archeological resources in the national parks in the Midwest. It also renders archeological assistance to national parks outside the Midwest as well as to other entities outside the National Park System. MWAC was formed on July 1, 1969, from the former Missouri Basin Project (MBP). The MBP was the Lincoln field office of the Smithsonian Institution’s long- running program of salvage archeology known as the River Basin Surveys (RBS). The RBS had a 23-year run from 1946 to 1969. It was aimed at salvaging the archeological record in areas that were condemned for dam and reservoir development during the era of big dam projects following World War II. Administered by the Smithsonian Institution in cooperation with the National Park Service, the RBS formed the core of the federal government’s interagency archeological salvage program through the middle decades of the twentieth century, and it holds an important place in the development of archeology in the United States.

  • A Complex Web of History and Artifact Types in the Early Archaic Southeast
    A COMPLEX WEB OF HISTORY AND ARTIFACT TYPES IN THE EARLY ARCHAIC SOUTHEAST By KARA BRIDGMAN SWEENEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Kara Bridgman Sweeney 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Most deserving of my acknowledgment are the indigenous American groups who created the archaeological record that forms the basis of this research. I hope that this document will serve as a partial history of the Early Archaic, which so long has been relegated to “prehistory.” I would very much like to thank the numerous individuals who shared their artifact collections and local knowledge with me. I especially want to express appreciation to those artifact collectors who make a concerted effort to share the information they have with archaeologists, and who assist in the recording of archaeological sites. In Alabama, I thank Ed and Richard Kilborn. I would also like to thank Don Marley and Steve Lamb for their contributions, as well as one individual who asked that he not be named in my dissertation (in this document, I have called him “X,” as requested). In South Carolina, I thank Doug Boehme, Darby, Kevin, and Ted Hebert, Gary LeCroy, Earline Mitchum, George Neil, Jimmy Skinner, and Larry Strong. Becky Shuler of the Elloree Heritage Museum and Barbara Butler of the South Carolina Bank and Trust of Elloree deserve thanks for allowing access to artifact collections at their repositories. In Georgia, I thank Danny Greenway, Seaborn Roberts, Danny Ely, Emery Fennell, John Arena, Larry Meadows, Marvin Singletary, and John Whatley.
