2004 Midwest Archaeological Conference Program
Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. 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. -

Welcoming the Tribes Back to Their Ancestral Lands Marti L. Chaatsmith, Comanche/Choctaw Newark Earthworks Center - Ohio State University and World Heritage - Ohio Executive Committee INDIANS AND EARTHWORKS THROUGH THE AGES “We are all related” Mann 2009 “We are all related” Earthen architecture and mound building was evident throughout the eastern third of North America for millennia. Everyone who lived in the woodlands prior to Removal knew about earthworks, if they weren’t building them. The beautiful, enormous, geometric precision of the Hopewell earthworks were the culmination of the combined brilliance of cultures in the Eastern Woodlands across time and distance. Has this traditional indigenous knowledge persisted in the cultural traditions of contemporary American Indian cultures today?

Hopewell Archeology: the Newsletter of Hopewell Archeology in the Ohio River Valley Volume 2, Number 2, October 1997
Hopewell Archeology: The Newsletter of Hopewell Archeology in the Ohio River Valley Volume 2, Number 2, October 1997 1. Current Research at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park By Bret J. Ruby, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, Ohio Archeological research is an essential activity at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. An active program of field research provides the information necessary to protect and preserve Hopewellian archeological resources. The program also addresses a series of long-standing questions regarding the cultural history and adaptive strategies of Hopewellian populations in the central Scioto region. Presented below are preliminary notices of recent field projects conducted by park personnel with the assistance of the National Park Service's Midwest Archeological Center, Lincoln, Nebraska. These recent efforts are focused on three Hopewellian centers in Ross County. Two of these centers, the Mound City Group and the Hopeton Earthworks, are administered by the National Park Service as units of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. The third center, the Spruce Hill Works, is privately owned and is being considered for possible inclusion in the park. Research at the Mound City Group Work at the Mound City Group was prompted by plans to install a set of eight new interpretive signs along a trail encircling the mounds and earthworks at the site. Although the Mound City Group has been the focus of archeological investigations for almost 150 years, previous research has focused almost exclusively on the mounds and earthworks themselves (Figure 1), with little attention paid to identifying archeological resources that may lie just outside the earthwork walls.

Public Works Projects at Serpent Mound State Memorial
NEW DEAL, NEW SERPENT: PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS AT SERPENT MOUND STATE MEMORIAL Rory Krupp Abstract Archival research has identified documents at the Ohio History Connection related to Serpent Mound archaeology. The current understanding of the site is that Frederic W. Putnam restored Serpent Mound in the 1880s and converted the surrounding property into a public park. The Ohio History Connection’s State Archives series and New Deal agency records indicate that the Serpent Mound was again restored in 1934–1935. Consequently, today’s Serpent Mound and its surrounding landscape are in reality a New Deal construct based largely on landscaping principles developed by the National Park Service in the 1920s and 1930s. Depression-era agencies’ financial prioritization on wages and not materials seems to indicate that fill used in the restoration originated in the park to save money and may have been associ- ated with restroom construction in 1934–1935. Consequently, the Fort Ancient Baum Focus material located in the Serpent Mound appears to originate from elsewhere within the park and is in the mound as a result of the New Deal restoration. Background suffered from wandering cattle and looters who failed to backfill while looking for artifacts. These Serpent Mound was first recorded by actions, exacerbated by rain, had promoted the Ephraim G. Squier and Dr. Edwin Davis in 1846, mound’s erosion. and it was included in their Ancient Monuments Prompted by Putnam, who was alarmed by the of the Mississippi Valley in 1848 (Squier and Da- mound’s rapid deflation, a group of Boston soci- vis 1848). -

Imagining “Law-Stuff” at the Newark Earthworks
WINNIFRED FALLERS SULLIVAN Imagining “Law-Stuff” at the Newark Earthworks or those who primarily study the earthbound works of people living today or in the relatively recent past through their F written words, the Newark Earthworks initially presents an un- deniably awesome but frustratingly silent landscape. Who were these workers of the earth who looked to the skies? How might we conjure their lives? How might we, like our nineteenth-century spiritualist ancestors, make the dead speak and tell us their secrets? What does it mean for our work when all of the words are supplied by us, not by them? Who can speak for them? As one reads the work of archaeologists and astronomers, views efforts to reconstruct an understanding of the earthworks in their own time, and listens to current would-be representatives of those builders, a possible inter- locutor emerges out of the mists of time — and the miracle of contemporary video technology — to populate our imagination. We are invited by the as- tronomers to stand on Observatory Mound in the avatar of a native inhab- itant and imagine ourselves in another world — some two millennia ago — a world that is visible to us today principally in the traces of massive earthen constructions with their seductively precise astronomical alignments.1 We are led to see this iconic figure, the shaman, as the natural denizen of the space and the natural leader of his people.2 A local Ohio reporter describes a recent visit to the Great Circle: “On this mound, a Native American shaman might have stood above drums drum- ming and rattles rattling and hundreds of people standing in the earthen circle below, all waiting for the moon to rise beyond the circle, beyond the adjoining octagonal mound, ascending above the horizon.”3 We were intro- duced to the shaman first at the Octagon, but now he has moved to the Great Circle — as though he is the only individuated human who can be imagined being in this place.4 Newark. -
