The Bonham Site Analysis Retains the Lan- Guage and Commentary of the 1992 Draft Research Report Series No. 16 2005 Virginia Department of Historic Resources 280 1 Kensington Avenue Richmond, VA 2322 1 Virginia Department of Hitoric Resources Research Report Serier No. I6 AUTHORS: C. Clifford Boyd, Jr. Donna C. Boyd Michael B. Barber Paul S. Gardner The initial draft of this report was submitted to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources in 1992. Over the past decade, a great deal has been learned about Late Wood- land cultures across Virginia due, for the most part, to federal and state-funded cultural resource management surveys and excavations. New analysis methods and interpretations have also enhanced our knowledge about the past since 1992. For example, the standards for the analysis of human skeletal remains, which are now standard operating procedure for Dr. Donna Boyd and myself (Buikstra and Ubelaker 1994), were not written and published until 1994. For the most part, this published version of the Bonham site analysis retains the lan- guage and commentary of the 1992 draft. Some revisions and additions have been made, especially in terms of radiocarbon dates and their calibration. So, this document should be read and interpreted largely in light of what was state-of-the-art knowledge about the Late Woodland cultures of Southwest Virginia in 1992. Cliff Boyd January 2003 The Bonham site (44SM7), a Late Woodland village complex located along the Middle Fork of the Holston River in Smyth County, Virginia, was tested and excavated in 1989 and 1990. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources, other state and federal enti- ties, and volunteers from the Archeological Society of Virginia provided support for this research. The 1989 test trenches uncovered 25 Native American features (including five with human remains) and evidence that at least two major village sites overlapped in the 44SM7 area. Some of the site area was protected from impending industrial development by a cap of fill dirt; however, the unprotected area of one site was subjected to salvage excavations in 1990. The main goal of these excavations was to uncover and remove any human remains from burials before they were destroyed. As a result, 25 refuse-filled fea- tures, three postmolds and 26 burial pits were partially or completely excavated. The site plan showed several palisade lines and features and burials generally clustered along the palisades. The recovered lithic and ceramic artifacts, as well as the human remains, verte- brate faunal remains, and samples of carbonized plant remains were analyzed. The predominant lithic raw materials used for producing stone tools were chert and chalce- dony, and most of the projectile points were small triangular arrow tips common on most Late Woodland sites. Ceramics were predominantly grit, limestone, or gastropod shell- tempered with knotted net impressed surfaces. Some decorations on rim sherds suggested contact with Mississippian groups to the south. The remains of 35 individuals were ana- lyzed; all major age and sex groups were represented in the human remains. Many of the individuals showed high incidences of nutritional, traumatic, or degenerative pathologies. Faunal utilization focused predominately on white-tailed deer and botanical remains sug- gested a mixed economy, with corn, beans, squash, and tobacco being the important domesticated plants. Even though looting extensively disturbed the Bonham site, the site is significant in the wealth of information it still preserves about Late Woodland peoples of Southwest Virginia. Editor?

  • History, Monumentality, and Interaction in the Appalachian Summit Middle Woodland
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ History, Monumentality, And Interaction In The Appalachian Summit Middle Woodland By: Alice P. Wright Abstract The Middle Woodland period in eastern North America witnessed a florescence of monumental architecture and material exchange linked to widespread networks of ritual interaction. Although these networks encompassed large geographic areas and persisted for several centuries, extant archaeological models have tended to characterize Middle Woodland interaction as an historically unitary process. Using new data from the Garden Creek site in North Carolina, I argue that these frameworks obscure important historical shifts in Middle Woodland interaction. Recent collections-based research, geophysical survey, targeted excavation, and 14C dating (including Bayesian modeling) of this site reveal two coeval diachronic changes: a shift from geometric earthwork construction to platform mound construction; and a shift from the production of special artifacts (mica, crystal quartz) to the consumption of exotic artifacts in association with platform mound ceremonialism. These data hint at important changes in interregional relationships between the Appalachian Summit, the Hopewellian Midwest, and the greater Southeast during the Middle Woodland period, and provide a springboard for considering how processes of culture contact contributed to precolumbian cultural change.

The presence of non-local cherts, bladelets, and bladelet cores indicates a Middle Woodland Ohio Hopewell occupation. Raw material sourcing, debitage analyses, and a use-wear analysis uncovered that Spracklen functioned as a logistical hunting campsite. Its people utilized bladelets for butchery and hide-working processes. This information provides new insights into Hopewellian life in the uplands and its place within Hopewell community organization.

    ADDENDUM I: A GUIDE TO RESEARCH PAPERS IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NORTH CAROLINA ON FILE WITH THE ARCHAEOLOGY BRANCH OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY Thomas H. Hargrove Compiler NORTH CAROLINA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COUNCIL PUBLICATION NUl{BER 14 Published Jointly by the North Carolina Archaeological Council and the Archaeology Branch Division of Archives and History North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Raleigh, 1981 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 1 AUTHOR INDEX 3 INDEX 65 CONTRIBUTING INSTITUTIONS 71 ii Introduction In 1980 the North Carolina Archaeological Council published a bibliography of archaeological papers on file with one of its member institutions. Appearing as Publication 13 in the Council Series, "A guide to research papers in the archaeology of North Carolina on file with the Archaeology Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History" provided a list of 661 works to those involved with archaeological research or resource management. Most of these works, which cover archaeological projects throughout the state, were unpublished. Since the publication of that bibliography, the Archaeology Branch's file of dissertations, theses, articles, and contract reports on archaeology has grown. In addition, many of the major sources of published archaeological works in North Carolina have been indexed for use in environmental review at the branch. As a result, the number of additional references has led to the compilation of a second bibliography. As in the first bibliography, the works l1sted here represent a wide variety of research interests, techniques, formats, and purposes. The geographical focus varies from excavations of single structures or surveys of one-acre plots of land to overviews of physiographic regions that include one-third of the state.
