Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 1894. ii Proceedings of the 68th Annual Meeting, Jacksonville, Florida PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Welcome to Jacksonville Florida and the 68th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference. This is the first time SEAC has been held in River City, and only the second time a meeting has been held on the Atlantic coast. It has been nearly one-quarter of a century since waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapped against the feet of SEAC meeting-goers. I was still a graduate student when staff of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology hosted a meeting in Charleston. I have vague memories of helping with the planning, of stuffing envelopes with restaurant guides, and of driving to Charleston from Aiken with the excitement and trepidation that only meeting planning can bring. What, I wondered, did we forget to do? Whose name did we spell wrong? What scheduling conflicts did we create? Happily, that meeting went off without major crisis, and I learned enough from that experience to try it on my own in 1998, for the 55th Annual Meeting in Greenville. Again this would be an event organized from afar, because only a few months before the meeting I had relocated to Gainesville, Florida to take up a new post. I was fortunate to have colleagues back in South Carolina handling the local arrangements, and things went off without a hitch. It was at the time—with the exception of a joint meeting with our Midwest colleagues in Lexington (1994) —the largest SEAC ever. Meetings have grown in the years since Greenville, with last year’s event in Lexington 74 percent larger than the one in 1998, and about three times larger than Charleston in 1987, even without a joint meeting! Our gathering this year is not nearly as big as last year’s meeting, but still impressive considering the peripheral venue. Scheduled over two-and-one-half days in seven concurrent breakout sessions are 290 papers in 13 symposia, 11 general sessions, four poster sessions, and a special lithics panel. Two symposia are all-day affairs, and another pair will honor the contributions of two of our beloved members. The Student Affairs Committee is hosting two workshops, including the annual lunch, and the Native Affairs Committee is hosting a session on southeastern Tribal Archaeology Programs. A number of special meetings events are highlighted in the front section of this bulletin, including receptions, the customary Friday night dance, and two extracurricular events off-site on Saturday. I am grateful for the support and cooperation of many individuals and organizations in the planning and execution of this meeting. Foremost are my co-organizers, Meggan Blessing and Jason O’Donoughue of the University of Florida. Administrative support of the Department of Anthropology, University of Florida was provided by the incomparable Karen Jones and her staff, former Chair of Anthropology, Allan Burns, and Interim Chair, Susan deFrance. This bulletin was printed with funds provided by the Hyatt and Cici Brown Endowment for Florida Archaeology. I am very grateful to those of the Florida archaeological community whose financial sponsorship offset the costs of receptions, notable the student reception. These generous sponsors are listed on next page of this bulletin. Bob Joseph, Corey Determan, and Peter Maholland of Florida State Parks made possible our use of Little Talbot Island State Park, and I am grateful to James Davidson and his graduate students for guiding guests through Kingsley Plantation, access to which was enabled by John Whitehurst, Brian Loadholtz, Emily Palmer, and Barbara Goodman of the National Park Service. Thanks to Alison Hadley for organizing the Student Affairs events, and to Amber Grafft-Weiss and Cassandra Rae Harper for organizing the Public Archaeology Day at MOSH. A host of student volunteers managed the registration desk with aplomb, and I could not have met the logistical challenges of moving large quantities of paper, beer, and ice without the muscle of my crew at the Laboratory of Southeastern Archaeology. Enjoy the conference and your stay in River City!

The popular game was one of several played for millennia throughout Native North America. Indigenous communities played ball games not only for the important culture- making of sport and recreation, but also as an act of peace-building. The densely populated urban center of Cahokia, as well as its agricultural suburbs and distant trade partners, were dedicated to chunkey. Chunkey is associated with the milieu surrounding the Pax Cahokiana (1050 AD-1200 AD), an era of reduced armed conflict during the height of Mississippian civilization (1000-1500 AD). The relational framework utilized in archaeology, combined with dynamics of conflict resolution, provides a basis to explain chunkey’s cultural impact.

    Chapter 1: Introduction

    SEGMENTED AND ASCENDANT CHIEFDOM POLITY AS VIEWED FROM THE DIVERS SITE BY GLEN ALOIS FREIMUTH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus R. Barry Lewis, Chair Professor Timothy R. Pauketat Adjunct Professor Thomas E. Emerson Associate Professor Mark W. Mehrer, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This study contributes to our understanding of the nature of political control exerted by the Mississippian Cahokia polity over small rural villages in the southern American Bottom. Currently two models, which I call the Segmented and Ascendant Chiefdoms, respectively, provide contrasting explanations of the nature and amount of Cahokia control over rural villages. I examine the fit of these models against archaeological data from the Divers and other regional sites. The analyses range over several main topics, including populations, labor requirements, nonlocal artifacts, provisioning, and rituals. I find that the archaeological patterns expressed at the Divers site best fit a Segmented Chiefdom model wherein political control is decentralized and rural villages retain a high degree of political autonomy. Cahokia, as the American Bottom’s main Mississippian town, has the largest population, physical size, elite status items, and monumental construction which I describe as material domination and political dominance. Political dominance requires manipulation of local leaders and their followers for political and social control and this manipulation was expressed through ritual materials and rituals performed at Cahokia and other mound towns. The Cahokia elite created new rituals and associated material expressions through collective action and attempted to gain control of existing commoner ritual performances and symbols but these and political autonomy largely remained with the commoners who occupied small villages like Divers.

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.

    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE October 14, 2003 Session STATE OF TENNESSEE v. PAUL DENNIS REID, JR. Direct Appeal from the Circuit Court for Montgomery County No. 38887 John H. Gasaway, III, Judge No. M2001-02753-CCA-R3-DD - Filed December 29, 2003 The appellant, Paul Dennis Reid, Jr., was found guilty by a jury of two counts of premeditated murder, two counts of felony murder, two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, and one count of especially aggravated robbery. The felony murder convictions were merged into the premeditated murder convictions. Thereafter, the jury sentenced the appellant to death based upon the existence of three aggravating circumstances: the appellant had previously been convicted of one or more felonies, other than the present charge, the statutory elements of which involve the use of violence to the person; the murders were committed for the purpose of avoiding, interfering with or preventing a lawful arrest or prosecution of defendant or another; and the murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel in that it involved torture or serious physical abuse beyond that necessary to produce death. The trial court sentenced the defendant as a violent offender to twenty-five years imprisonment for especially aggravated robbery and especially aggravated kidnapping, to run consecutively to his sentences for first degree murder and to a prior out-of-state sentence. On appeal, appellant presents forty-five issues. After an extensive review of the record and the applicable law, we find that none of these issues warrants a reversal of this case. Therefore, the judgments of the trial court are AFFIRMED.
  • Constructing Community and Cosmos: a Bioarchaeological Analysis of Wisconsin Effigy Mound Mortuary Practices and Mound Construction

    Constructing Community and Cosmos: a Bioarchaeological Analysis of Wisconsin Effigy Mound Mortuary Practices and Mound Construction

    CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILSOPHY Anthropology 2012 ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison This dissertation presents an analysis of the mounds, human skeletal remains, grave goods, and ritual paraphernalia interred within mounds traditionally categorized as belonging to the Wisconsin Effigy Mound Tradition. The term ‘Effigy Mound Tradition’ commonly refers to a widespread mound building and ritual phenomenon that spanned the Upper Midwest during the Late Woodland (A.D. 600-A.D. 1150). Specifically, this study explores how features of mound construction and burial may have operated in the social structure of communities participating in this panregional ceremonial movement. The study uses previously excavated skeletal material, published archaeological reports, unpublished field notes, and photographs housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum to examine the social connotations of various mound forms and mortuary ritual among Wisconsin Effigy Mound communities. The archaeological and skeletal datasets consisted of data collected from seven mound sites with an aggregate sample of 197 mounds and a minimum number of individuals of 329. The mortuary analysis in this study explores whether the patterning of human remains interred within mounds were part of a system involved with the 1) creation of collective/ corporate identity, 2) denoting individual distinction and/or social inequality, or 3) a combination of both processes occurring simultaneously within Effigy Mound communities.
