  • The Little Clovis Point That Wasn't
    The Little Clovis Point that Wasn’t Leo Pettipas Manitoba Archaeological Society The projectile point illustrated in Figure 1 was surface-found at FaMi-10 in the Upper Swan River valley of Manitoba (Fig. 2) in the 1960s. It is made of Swan River Chert, is edge-ground, triangular in outline, and seems to be “fluted” on one face. To all appearances it looks like an Early Indigenous (“Palaeo-Indian”) Clovis point, except for one thing – it’s very small: it’s less than 4.0 cm long, whereas “full-grown” Clovis points when newly made can reach as much as 10.0 cm in length. Archaeologist Eugene Gryba has cautiously classified it as a McKean point, and in size and shape it is indeed McKean- like. However, the bilateral grinding it displays isn’t a standard McKean trait, so I have chosen to orient this presentation around the Clovis point type. Fig. 1. (left)The miniscule point from FaMi-10. Drawing by the present writer. Fig. 2. (Right) Location of the Swan River valley in regional context (Manitoba Department of Agriculture). Actually, bona fide diminutive Clovis points are not unprecedented; several good examples (Fig. 3) were archaeologically excavated in company with typical Clovis points at the Lehner Mammoth site in Arizona. The centre specimen in Figure 3 is 3.6 cm long, slightly less than the corresponding measurement taken from the Swan River artefact. So 1 | P a g e The Little Clovis Point that Wasn’t Leo Pettipas while miniature Clovis points are rare, they’re not unheard of and so the occurrence of one from the Second Prairie Level of Manitoba shouldn’t be problematic at first blush.

  • My Walk with the Ancients
    MY WALK WITH THE ANCIENTS By Vincent James Stanzione (This is a preliminary ‘Essay’ presented to the Newark Earthworks Center and the participants of the 2009 ‘Walk with the Ancients’ and Newark Earthworks Day 2009. This is not edited much so please read it lightly as if out walking barefoot. I just wanted to write something about ‘my’ experience and ‘our’ experience together on the Walk with the Ancients. I would also like to know what you would add to what I have written here of our experience walking the Great Hopewell Road. So in your own good time let us share our story and see if we can’t create something that tells of what we did together with our feet, legs, bodies, minds and spirits. I just want to say I wrote this in good will and hope my opinions can be seen as openings to a greater dialogue and not as the last word or anything close to something ridiculous like that! I hope my writing is helpful in promoting both exchange and change for a better life. Best of the best to all of you, Vinny Stanzione) The Great Hopewell Road Path of Pilgrimage Chillicothe to the Octagon Earthworks of the ‘Great Circle-Octagon Mound City’ October of 2009 Why I write I write in fulfillment of my social and cultural obligation to the people of the Newark Earthwork Center in Newark Ohio who invited me to participate in this year’s ‘2009 Walk with the Ancients.’ When I left Ohio I promised several people that I would write my reflections on our experience of walking together on the Great Hopewell Road.

Colonial institutions profited off the land and those who occupied it. One institution that exemplified this was the Fur Trade. Throughout the North and Northeast colonies, European nations acquired furs from a variety of mammals to meet the trans-Atlantic demand. To maximize profits in the New World many European colonizers turned to Native peoples to aid in their economic endeavors. Native Americans employed trade routes and knowledge of the land to their advantage in the new economic landscape.

  • Chapter Nine the Academic Debate
    Chapter Nine The Academic Debate ITHIN the realm of academia, the debate regarding the Wlegends of Lemuria and Atlantis should be clear: there is no proof; therefore, it never existed. The advancements made within scientific academia however tell a different story. Archaeological discoveries allude to a new historical variation that many are at a loss to explain. For example, if archaeologists were investigating a site and discovered something exceeding the historical records, in other words was ―too ridiculously old,‖ it would be put aside and forgotten. But what if collectively, there is enough of the same anomalous data that could shed light onto a different perspective? It would be difficult to say for sure what becomes of these pieces of evidence that do not make it into the records. Artifacts often end up uncatalogued in the basement of a university‘s collection, lost within piles of boxes. Many believe that archaeological research in a specific location takes place over a long period of time so that nothing can be missed. This true in that archaeologists have all the The Academic Debate 169 time needed to conduct proper investigations given that the investigations are taken place in a national park or other restricted areas of land. Many times, archaeologists working in the field work within various Cultural Resource Management (or CRM) groups and do not have the luxury of time. The purpose of CRM groups is to quickly research and investigate a given location for a client, in order to collect anything of historical importance. For instance, a private company is planning to build a set of structures within a given set of acres of land.

Based on earlier studies, they thought their dig might yield evidence of prehistoric peoples. Decades before the Capital Beltway was built, the site was a bluff overlooking Hunting Creek. The area would have been an ideal location for Indians to manufacture and re-shape stone tools for hunting and fishing. This past summer Alexandria archaeologists at the site discovered a significant number of flakes, the slivers of rock left behind as stones are chipped and fashioned into projectile points, scrapers and other tools. They also recovered points representing multiple distinct periods of use, from Middle Woodland around 1,200 years ago to Late Archaic around 4,000 years ago to Paleoindian around 13,000 years ago. Variations in the points, such as fluted stems and notched corners, indicate how they were attached to the handles of spears and knives. Serrated edges also reflect changes in lithic technology, or stone tool manufacturing. Among those recovered at Freedmen’s Cemetery are (clockwise from bottom left) a quartzite Potts point ca.

It was discovered in 2007 during an exploration of the Outland Cave by Alejandro Alvarez, Alberto Nava Blank, and Franco Attolini of the Proyecto Espeleológico de Tulum (26-27). HN is a bell-shaped chamber (the pit) located below the confluence of three horizontal passages with floors at ~12 mbsl (Fig. 1). The pit is 37 m in diameter at its rim, expanding to 62 m at the boulder-strewn floor, which slopes from 33 mbsl on the north to ~48 m along the south wall. This geometry made it an inescapable natural trap (Fig. S2). HN contains layered fresh and saltwater, with the halocline lying at 15 to 22 mbsl. The freshwater lens is slightly acidic (pH 6.8) and cool (25.2°C), the saltwater is over 95% marine salinity, slightly basic (pH 7.1), and slightly warmer (25.5°C).

  • The Moon Goddess of the Adena-Hopewell Mound Builders: Archaeology and Mythology of Our Grandmother of the Eastern Woodlands
    The Moon Goddess of the Adena-Hopewell Mound Builders: Archaeology and Mythology of Our Grandmother of the Eastern Woodlands By Jason Jarrell and Sarah Farmer “With the Uncanny one has reached the fringes of the Numinous.” --C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain. During a period spanning roughly 500 BC—500 AD, the Eastern Woodlands of North America were the location of the most ambitious earthworks construction episode in world history. These earthworks were the products of two variations of a single cultural continuum known as Adena and Hopewell, respectively. Adena and Hopewell circulated the same exotic power materials, participated in similar patterns of dispersion and coalescence in periodic gatherings to bury the dead, and expressed the same cosmological model in artifacts and earthworks construction. It is now also understood that both groups came together and participated in the co-operative construction of large-scale ritual landscapes sharing common patterns of astronomical alignments and employing the same measurement unit (McCord and Cochran 2008; Romain 2015a, 2015b). For these reasons and others, archaeologists have come to refer to both cultures together as Adena-Hopewell. Earlier Adena mounds range from just a few inches to massive structures over 60 feet in height, such as the Grave Creek Mound in Marshall County, West Virginia and the Miamisburg Mound in Ohio. The first Adena earthworks other than mounds consisted of circular earth wall enclosures with interior ditches and single causewayed entry points. After the beginning of the Ohio Hopewell “phase” in Ohio (ca. 50 BC), the earthworks program evolved to include construction of massive ritual landscapes incorporating large earth wall squares, polygons, octagons, and abstract forms.
