SOURCES FOR THE HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY I. The Alfred Vincent Kidder Papers Douglas Givens St. Louis Community College-Meramec The papers of Alfred Vincent Kidder provide a unique and personal look into the development of Americanist archeology from 1907 through 1963. Through the kind generosity of Kidder's daughter, Faith Kidder Fuller, the papers were loaned to me with the purpose of providing resource material for my doctoral dissertation ("Alfred Vincent Kidder and the Development of Americanist Archaeology," Washington University, St. Louis, 1986). The papers were stored in a large wooden crate after Kidder's death in June, 1963, and when they arrived at my home in March, 1982, it was evident that they had not been opened since originally placed in the crate. Although the papers were not then indexed, that task was completed shortly after they were received. Kidder was one of the premier figures in Americanist archeology from 1915 through his retirement in 1950. His writings include a great variety of topics very important to the archeology of his time.

  • Mennonite Streams to Kansas from 1874 to 1890, Eight Different Streams of Mennonite Immigrants Settled in Kansas
    Unit 1 StoryCard 1 Mennonite Streams to Kansas From 1874 to 1890, eight different streams of Mennonite immigrants settled in Kansas. Emil and Waldo represent two of those ethnic groups. Swiss-Germans Emil W. Haury (1904-1992) was born in Newton to Clara K. (Ruth) Haury and Gustav A. Haury. The Haury and Ruth families originated in Switzerland and moved to German-speaking areas in search of economic opportunities and religious freedom. The lack of land for young families, poor economic conditions, and threats of compulsory military service led both families to migrate from Bavaria to the United States in the 1850s. The Haury family settled in Iowa and the Ruth family in Illinois before joining the new settlements in Kansas.

Wedel (1908-1996) was born in Newton to Magdalena (Krehbiel) Wedel and Peter J. Wedel.

The Low German-speaking Wedels settled in Przechovka, Prussia, where they married into a Volhynian group that had originated in Switzerland. In 1874 the Wedels and Krehbiels were part of a Swiss Volhynian congregation that immigrated to the United States, settling on the Kansas prairie.

  • Archaeological Parks and Prehistoric Native American Indian Ruins of Central Arizona
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARKS AND PREHISTORIC NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN RUINS OF CENTRAL ARIZONA TONTO NATIONAL MONUMENT * UPPER CLIFF DWELLING “NPS PHOTO” INTRODUCTION The purpose of this website is to provide some information about the prehistory of the Southwest with a focus on two of this regions prehistoric cultures; the Hohokam and Salado and their historic homelands. Native Americans have occupied what is now Arizona for thousands of years. There is no other place in the United States that contains such monumental remnants of prehistoric cultures as does the Southwest desert of North America. The largest Native American reservation (majority of the Navajo Nation ) and the second largest the Tohono O'odham Nation are located in Arizona. The purpose of these pages are also to give visitors to this area a glimpse of the well- preserved ancient dwellings and history of the indigenous people whose civilizations occupied this region. These people flourished here in the Southwest Sonoran Desert centuries ago, prior to the first Spanish explorers arriving here in Arizona around the mid- late 15th century. Instead of the great riches they expected, the Spaniards found self- sustaining communities of natives. Most of the natives were living in simple shelters along fertile river valleys, dependent on hunting and gathering and small scale farming for subsistence as was noted in the journals of the first Spanish explores. It seems that they had reverted back to their archaic ancestor’s way of life centuries before. The first to arrive in Arizona was Fray Marcos de Niza a Franciscan friar in 1539 and was followed a year later by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado.

Harlan istorians and archaeologists share a wealth ofcommon interests since Hboth professions focus on understanding the past. At least this might be the view ofan observer from outside the academic world who has a strong interest in its workings. I Practitioners of both professions are passionately interested in earlier times. Each specializes in the subset of past events that concern humanity, its origins, and the development of its societies. Some historians doubt the possibility ofconnecting the past and present in a mean­ ingful way; others reconstruct past events with the expectation that they will provide an empirical basis for evaluating theoretical statements meant to apply across time and space. Most archaeologists share the goals ofhistori­ ans and applaud these reconstructions. Archaeologists are generally viewed as experts on events that occurred prior to written documents.

As a hunter-gatherer archaeologist I was taught that mobility was critical to the survival of foraging societies. That being in the right place at the right time was the difference between living and dying. Any group implemented a mixture of residential and logistical mobility depending on the structure of the natural and cultural environment. By contrast, we’ve come a long way since the days of assuming that agriculturalists were relatively sedentary people. Upham’s (1984, 1994) concept of adaptive diversity referred to the fluid nature of past social organization, mobility, and land use; or, Nelson and LeBlanc’s (1986) short-term sedentism that discussed long-term shifts in residential stability, noting that “this concept allows a vision of grand temporal trajectory of local adaptation, one which ultimately came full circle (1986:251).” As pointed out by Varien (1999) “rather than being opposing concepts, sedentism and mobility were strategies that were simultaneously employed (1999:194)” by agricultural communities and households.
