In his formal plan for the Institution. Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    ADVANCED SOUTHWEST ARCHAEOLOGY THE PALEOINDIAN AND ARCHAIC PERIODS PURPOSE To present members with an opportunity to acquire an in-depth understanding of the Paleoindian and Archaic periods as their occupations are viewed broadly across North America with a focus on the Southwest. OBJECTIVES After studying the manifestation of the Paleoindian and Archaic periods in the Southwest, the student is to have an in-depth understanding of the current thinking regarding: A. Arrival of the first Americans and their adaptation to various environments. Paleoenvironmental considerations. B. Archaeology of the Paleoindian and Archaic periods in the Southwest and important sites for defining and dating the occupations. Synthesis of the Archaic tradition within the Southwest. Manifestation of the Paleoindian and Archaic occupations of the Southwest in the archaeological record, including recognition of Paleoindian and Archaic artifacts and features in situ and recognition of Archaic rock art. C. Subsistence, economy, and settlement strategies of the Paleoindian and Archaic periods in the Southwest. D. Transition from Paleoindian to Archaic, and from Archaic to major cultural traditions including Hohokam, Anasazi, Mogollon, Patayan, and Sinagua, or Salado, in the Southwest. E. Introduction of agriculture in the Southwest considering horticulture and early cultigens. F. Lithic technologies of the Paleoindian and Archaic periods in the Southwest.

  • Late Holocene Geoarchaeology in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming 261 Figure 9.1
    9 INTRODUCTION Late Holocene In celebrating a career renowned for defining work Geoarchaeology in the on bison bone beds and Plains Paleoindian culture Bighorn Basin, Wyoming history, I have chosen my role in this volume to remind readers that George Frison’s archaeological roots lie in the dry, dusty rockshelters of Wyoming’s Bighorn Judson Byrd Finley Basin. When we spoke recently about his early expe- riences, George suggested that had he not visited Spring Creek Cave near his Ten Sleep, Wyoming, ranch during the winter of 1953, he might have never pursued the career we reflect on in this volume. As most readers know, that calling, now more than six decades in the making, led George to the most mag- nificent archaeological sites in the northwestern High Plains and Central Rocky Mountains—Paleoindian, Archaic, Late Prehistoric, and Historic alike. I first encountered Spring Creek Cave’s perishable artifacts in the early 1990s as a University of Wyoming fresh- man when my fledgling self was fixed on stone tools as the sole record of past lives. The realization that perishable things survived into the present shifted my own perception of the past in a major way. My perspective shifted again later in my undergraduate education, this time toward geology as George guided me to the works of Kirk Bryan (Bryan and Ray 1940), John Moss (1951), Luna Leopold and John Miller (1954), and, of course, Vance Haynes (1968). Little did I know at the time that, while rockshelters were not central to Vance’s scholarship (but see Haynes and DOI: 10.5876/9781607324539.c009 259 Agogino 1986; Huckell and Haynes 2003), I would trace my future work directly to his legacy, too.
