  • A Council Circle at Etzanoa? Multi-Sensor Drone Survey at an Ancestral Wichita Settlement in Southeastern Kansas
    REPORTS A Council Circle at Etzanoa? Multi-sensor Drone Survey at an Ancestral Wichita Settlement in Southeastern Kansas Jesse Casana , Elise Jakoby Laugier, Austin Chad Hill, and Donald Blakeslee This article presents results of a multi-sensor drone survey at an ancestral Wichita archaeological site in southeastern Kansas, originally recorded in the 1930s and believed by some scholars to be the location of historical “Etzanoa,” a major settlement reportedly encountered by Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate in 1601. We used high-resolution, drone-acquired thermal and multispectral (color and near-infrared) imagery, alongside publicly available lidar data and satellite imagery, to prospect for archaeological features across a relatively undisturbed 18 ha area of the site. Results reveal a feature that is best interpreted as the remains of a large, circular earthwork, similar to so-called council circles documented at five other contemporary sites of the Great Bend aspect cultural assemblage. We also located several features that may be remains of house basins, the size and configuration of which conform with historical evidence. These findings point to major investment in the construction of large- scale ritual, elite, or defensive structures, lending support to the interpretation of the cluster of Great Bend aspect sites in the lower Walnut River as a single, sprawling population center, as well as demonstrating the potential for thermal and multispec- tral surveys to reveal archaeological landscape features in the Great Plains and beyond. Keywords: remote sensing, thermography, UAV, Great Bend aspect, earthwork, ancestral Wichita Este artículo presenta los resultados de una encuesta de drones con sensores múltiples en un sitio arqueológico ancestral de Wichita en el sureste de Kansas, originalmente registrado en la década de 1930 y que muchos estudiosos creen que es la ubica- ción del histórico “Etzanoa”, un asentamiento importante que según los informes encontró el conquistador español Juan de Oñate en 1601.

  • El Dorado State Park Master Plan 2021
    El Dorado State Park Master Plan 2021 Purpose The purpose of this master plan is to guide current and future operations and development at El Dorado State Park. Reference to this plan will ensure that operations at El Dorado State Park meet the needs identified in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2020. This plan is required by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF); accepting such funds dedicates the park in perpetuity to outdoor recreation. Many LWCF funds were utilized in the development of El Dorado State Park after its initial completion in the mid 1980’s. Grant funding from LWCF, the Recreational Trails Fund, and many others are critical to development of recreational opportunities in all Kansas state parks. Guidance from this plan also ensures that development will be in alignment with the Department mission statement: • Conserve and enhance Kansas’s natural heritage, its wildlife and its habitats—to ensure future generations the benefits of the state’s diverse, living resources; • Provide the public with the opportunity for the use and appreciation of the natural resources of Kansas, consistent with the conservation of those resources; • Inform the public of the status of the natural resources of Kansas to promote understanding and gain assistance in achieving this mission. Park history and background El Dorado State Park is a 4,000-acre facility located adjacent to the 8,000 surface acre El Dorado Reservoir. Adjacent to the park is the 4,000-acre El Dorado Wildlife Area. The lake encompasses almost 100 miles of shoreline, depending on water level.

ARCHEOLOGICAL REMAINS IN CENTRAL KANSAS AND THEIR POSSIBLE BEARING ON THE LOCATION OF QUIVIRA WALDO R. WEDEL Assistant Curator, Division of Archeology, U. S. National Museum (With io Plates) The archeological survey of Kansas begun by the United States National Museum in 1937, and continued each summer thereafter under the writer’s direction, in 1940 was carried into the Arkansas River basin in the central and southern parts of the State. Archeologi- cal remains in this region had previously been accorded virtually no attention by trained investigators, though the presence of pottery- bearing sites was reported as long ago as 1873 (Mudge, 1896, p. 70). The Arkansas River is one of the largest streams of the central Great Plains, and its lower reaches in Oklahoma and Arkansas were for- merly the seat of several highly advanced native civilizations. It was hoped that some of the village sites in its drainage basin in central Kansas might provide clues toward a cross dating of Plains cultures with lower Mississippi Valley archeological horizons.

  • Review of Paddlefish Management in Kansas from 1972 to 2013 and Implications for Future Conservation
    Review of Paddlefish Management in Kansas from 1972 to 2013 and Implications for Future Conservation Ben C. Neely, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, 5089 CR 2925, Independence, KS 67301 Susan F. Steffen, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, 1830 Merchant, P.O. Box 1525, Emporia, KS 66801 Sean T. Lynott, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, 1500 W. 7th St., P.O. Box 777, Chanute, KS 66720 Jeff D. Koch, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, 21514 S. Yoder Rd., Pretty Prairie, KS 67570 Abstract: Paddlefish Polyodon( spathula) contribute to recreational fisheries in 14 U.S. states, including Kansas. They are found in six major river basins in southern and eastern Kansas (Arkansas, Kansas, Marais des Cygnes, Missouri, Neosho, and Verdigris) during spring spawning migrations and are thought to persist in four of those (Kansas, Marais des Cygnes, Missouri, and Neosho) throughout the year. However, most data pertaining to paddle- fish in Kansas exist in internal documents or institutional knowledge. Desire to best manage Kansas fisheries has resulted in a need to consolidate this information and develop a statewide paddlefish management plan. Recreational paddlefish snagging was first designated as a fishing season in Kansas in 1972 on a short stretch of the Neosho River below Chetopa Dam. Snagging seasons were initially unregulated but have since evolved to address vari- ous management considerations. Notable changes included development of new snagging opportunities, stocking programs, and harvest regulations. Beginning in 1992, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism implemented mandatory check stations for harvested fish. These stations ulti- mately resulted in collection of important fishery data including number and size of harvested fish.
