The popular game was one of several played for millennia throughout Native North America. Indigenous communities played ball games not only for the important culture- making of sport and recreation, but also as an act of peace-building. The densely populated urban center of Cahokia, as well as its agricultural suburbs and distant trade partners, were dedicated to chunkey. Chunkey is associated with the milieu surrounding the Pax Cahokiana (1050 AD-1200 AD), an era of reduced armed conflict during the height of Mississippian civilization (1000-1500 AD). The relational framework utilized in archaeology, combined with dynamics of conflict resolution, provides a basis to explain chunkey’s cultural impact.

  • An Archaeological Inventory of Alamance County, North Carolina
    AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Alamance County Historic Properties Commission August, 2019 AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA A SPECIAL PROJECT OF THE ALAMANCE COUNTY HISTORIC PROPERTIES COMMISSION August 5, 2019 This inventory is an update of the Alamance County Archaeological Survey Project, published by the Research Laboratories of Anthropology, UNC-Chapel Hill in 1986 (McManus and Long 1986). The survey project collected information on 65 archaeological sites. A total of 177 archaeological sites had been recorded prior to the 1986 project making a total of 242 sites on file at the end of the survey work. Since that time, other archaeological sites have been added to the North Carolina site files at the Office of State Archaeology, Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in Raleigh. The updated inventory presented here includes 410 sites across the county and serves to make the information current. Most of the information in this document is from the original survey and site forms on file at the Office of State Archaeology and may not reflect the current conditions of some of the sites. This updated inventory was undertaken as a Special Project by members of the Alamance County Historic Properties Commission (HPC) and published in-house by the Alamance County Planning Department. The goals of this project are three-fold and include: 1) to make the archaeological and cultural heritage of the county more accessible to its citizens; 2) to serve as a planning tool for the Alamance County Planning Department and provide aid in preservation and conservation efforts by the county planners; and 3) to serve as a research tool for scholars studying the prehistory and history of Alamance County.

  • Monks Mound—Center of the Universe? by John Mcclarey
    GUEST ESSAY Monks Mound—Center of the universe? By John McClarey hyperbole or a facsimile? I think the case can be made that Monks Mound and the entire Alayout of this ancient metropolis in the H American Bottom near East St. Louis was a facsimile or model of Cahokia’s place in the cosmos, similar to the Black Hills as a “mirror or heaven” or the heart of all that is.” These are good metaphors to describe Cahokia’s center in the three-layer cake concept of the universe—the Underworld, the Earth, and the Sky. Cahokia by the 12th century B.C.E., was the place for people to connect with the spirits of this sacred sphere. In this article I will identify the sacred elements that made this place special to local and non-local populations and the role of the Birdman chiefs, priests, and shamans to interpret this unique place as a center in a larger world. Additionally, I identify the similarities of Cahokia as a a sacred place to other societies at different times and places. My fascination with Cahokia Mounds developed over a period of time with many visits from the early 1970s to the present. Briefly, Cahokia was the largest America city north of Mexico before the coming of the Europeans in the 15th cen- tury. It is believed that Cahokia was a political, religious, and economic center for perhaps as many as 500,000 Indians in the Mississippi Valley. It was a planned city with everything the world and in all religions, but the focus here is on the laid out on the cardinal points on the compass, Monks Cahokia Mounds in southern Illinois and cross culture Mound, the largest mound at the center, served as the official comparisons, Cahokia’s unique story includes the cruciform residence of the Great Sun god or Birdman deity.

  • Indiana Archaeology Month 2015 Commemorative Poster
    Indiana Archaeology Month 2015 commemorative poster The Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) is pleased to present this special poster celebrating 20 years of a statewide celebration of Indiana archaeology. The poster brings together artifacts from around the state, a number of which were featured on past Archaeology Week and Archaeology Month posters and shirts. The logo in the bottom right is drawn from the image that was on the very first Indiana Archaeology Week poster in 1996. We remember the past, and also look forward to the Indiana Archaeology Months to come! The artifacts are arranged in chronological layers from the most recent at the top, to the oldest at the bottom: 1. Historic amber glass hair stain bottle (upper right) from the Bronnenberg farm at Mounds State Park (Madison County). This type of hair stain was popular from ca. 1900 to 1910. 2. Ceramic sherd (upper left) of Harmonist manufacture (early 19th century) from historic New Harmony (Posey County). 3. Silver trade Lorraine Cross (middle right) with maker’s mark stamp “JS” (Jonas Schindler) on reverse. 18th century, Tippecanoe County. 4. Prehistoric seated fluorite figurine (middle left) from the Angel Site (A.D. 1050 to 1450) (Vanderburgh County). The figurine was recovered in 1940 from Mound F by the WPA crew that worked there doing archaeology over- seen by Glenn A. Black. 5. An unusual incised jar rim sherd from the important Mississippian (late 11th and early 12th centuries) Prather Site (Clark County). 6.

    Southwest Florida Archaeological Society (SWFAS) 1980 to 2020 - OUR 40th YEAR January 2020 Newsletter http://swflarchaeology.org/ PRESIDENT’S CORNER By John F. Furey M.A., RPA Happy New Year 2020 to all. This January SWFAS celebrates our 40th anniversary as an official organization and as a chapter of the Florida Anthropological Society. A lot has happened in those forty years and we have been making much of this history available to you in SWFAS On-Line as well as continuing our local efforts at archaeological and historical preservation and education. Our informative presentations to the public on local and statewide archaeological topics, along with activism to preserve our important prehistoric Native American sites, is still a critical part of our mission in 2020. The pressure of increased development in Southwest Florida is the major destructive force at work, along with rising sea levels, that impact our many coastal sites. Once a site is destroyed, all of the data is lost and a piece of our historical legacy is gone forever. One of our articles this month highlights the threat to our coastal sites by rising sea levels. The other highlights a site where it is believed that the inhabitants were producing shell beads for trade. FIELD TRIP TO KORESHAN RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY MARCH 21, 2020 Please see below for additional information on the trip.

R. CRANE and JAMES B. GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the time of the com- pilation of List X in December 1964. The method is essentially the same as that used for the work described in the previous list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems are used. The equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). The dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr. (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the stand- ard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and including VII we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statistical errors of counting, in order to take account of other errors in the over-all process.
