WC8810007 Ceremonial Pipe, Probably Iowa, C. 1800-1830. A
WC8810007 Ceremonial Pipe, probably Iowa, c. 1800-1830. A pipe stem made of ashwood, fitting into a red stone pipe bowl, total length 47.75 inches; 121.2 cm. The stem is of the flat type, though slightly convex in cross section, and slightly tapering toward the mouthpiece. From near the mouthpiece down about half of the stem length is wrapped with one quill-plaited bands of porcupine quills. A bundle of horsehair is tied with sinew at the center of the underside, and horsehair also covered the mouthpiece before much of that hair wore off. The pipe bowl is of the elbow type, made of a siliceous argillite called catlinite. The bowl flares up to a banded rim around the slightly rounded top, with a narrow smoke hole. A small ornamental crest rises from the shank. This ceremonial pipe once was in the collection of Andre Nasser; its earlier history is unknown. The formal features of this pipe bowl and its stem indicate their origin from the region between the western Great Lakes and the Missouri River, presumably in the period of c. 1800-1830. An even earlier date might be argued in view of some very similar pipes collected before 1789, now in the Musee de l’Homme, Paris. However, most of the other examples were collected in the early decades of the 19th century. The deep red color and its fairly easy carving made catlinite the favorite pipestone. Contrary to a popular idea, catlinite does not harden on exposure to air. Most of the material was quarried at a well-known site now preserved as Pipestone National Monument, near Pipestone, Minn. -

HENEGHAN 107 Pages This thesis builds upon recent investigations at Spracklen (33GR1585), a small upland site in Greene County, Ohio. 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.

Current Research in Ohio Archaeology 2018 Eric Olson www.ohioarchaeology.org Public Archaeology at the Silver Lake Sites Eric Olson The Silver Lake Site I (33SU639) lies on a glacial kame overlooking the upper Cuyahoga River.1 The site is in the 26-acre Silver Lake Park (Figure 1). Following the river, south of the bike and hike trail, is a dirt foot path called the Mandala Trail by residents of Silver Lake. The footpath follows the bend of the Cuyahoga River and extends around the old Cuyahoga Falls and Silver Lake landfill. The Silver Lake sites I and II (33 SU 678) were discovered in March 2017 while the author was walking the trail (Olson 2017a). The initial discovery consisted of 15 small flakes of Upper Mercer, Flint Ridge, and Plum Run cherts. Both site discoveries were made while hiking up the steep inclines from the Cuyahoga floodplain onto the glacial features elevated roughly 10 meters above (Figure 2). The hillside portions of the dirt path are heavily eroded. There are no steps or gravel to slow the flow of water during heavy rains. Erosion exposed some of the flake debris and fire- cracked rock (FCR) on the trail. The author then contacted the Mayor of Silver Lake, Mr. Bernie Hovey, to find out what to do about the archaeological discoveries. Mr. Hovey set up a meeting with the author and the archivist of the Silver Lake Historical Society, Robert Zimmerman. The meeting discussion focused on the disposition of the recovered artifacts, but the important question from both Hovey and Zimmerman was what to do about the archaeological site and the footpath through it. -

The Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project: the Analysis of Flotation Samples from the Crawford and Tri-Mac/Olinger Sites in Coshocton County, Ohio
Current Research in Ohio Archaeology 2014 Nigel Brush and P. Nick Kardulias www.ohioarchaeology.org The Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project: The Analysis of Flotation Samples from the Crawford and Tri-Mac/Olinger Sites in Coshocton County, Ohio Nigel Brush, Ashland University and P. Nick Kardulias, College of Wooster Introduction The Walhonding River is formed by the junction of the Kokosing River and the Mohican River near the village of Walhonding in west central Coshocton County, Ohio. After flowing some 18 miles to the east, the Walhonding River merges with the Tuscarawas River to form the Muskingum River near the center of the county at the town of Coshocton. Along the hillsides above the Walhonding River are extensive outcrops of Upper Mercer Flint that reach a maximum thickness of 17 feet near the Village of Nellie. These flint outcrops were heavily utilized by native peoples for tool and weapon production throughout the prehistoric period, and the terraces along the valley are littered with the remains of workshops, camp sites, and villages. Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project Fieldwork in the Walhonding Valley was begun in 1990 by Jim Morton and Nigel Brush. By 2006 this work had grown into the Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project. The purpose of this project is to examine how native peoples living in the Walhonding Valley adapted to three periods of short-term climate change that occurred during a one-thousand-year period from A.D. 700 to 1700: the Dark Age Cold Period (A.D. 400 to 900), the Medieval Warm Period (A.D.
