Jones Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No. 86 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2002 This report has been reviewed against the cr iteria contained in 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1) and, upon recommenda tion of the Midwest Regional Office and the Midwest Archeological Center, has been classified as Available Making the report available meets the criteria of 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1). Abstract Extensive inventory and excavation by avocational archeologist Earl Monger and two episodes of evaluative testing by Kansas State Historical Society archeologists in 1976 and 1977 have confirmed the location of the Cheyenne-Oglala village that was destroyed by the order of Major General Winfield S. Hancock in April 1867. Monger’s work and the Society investigations exposed several concentrations of burned and broken historic Euroamerican materials, together with some other artifacts that are clearly of American Indian manufacture. The artifact concentrations correlate with the piles of Indian belongings that Hancock’s troops collected and burned following the villagers’ flight from the military expedition. The archeological context of the artifactual materials matches well with the various historical descriptions of the village and its destruction. Historic trade goods or Indian annuity materials recovered during the excavations include tin cups of the Civil War era, a variety of buckles that probably represent harness or tack, firearms parts, helmet and uniform buttons, iron kettle and oven fragments, coffee mill parts, bottle glass and crockery, and sheet brass scraps. Artifacts of American Indian manufacture include chipped-stone projectile points, a stone maul, ochre deposits, and a buffalo stone—a baculite fossil that was modified into a bison fetish. No clear evidence of lodge structures was observed, although several small post molds were identified. i Acknowledgments When an archeological project takes more than 20 years to complete, it is important to acknowledge the many individuals who helped to see the project to its completion. Society Archeologist John Reynolds arranged for the 1979 loan of the Kansas State Historical Soci- ety artifacts from 14NS403 after I had left the Society to return to work for the National Park Service. Twenty years later, Society Archeologists Martin Stein and Virginia Wulfkuhle graciously assisted with the second loan of the Society’s artifacts, providing encouragement, useful advice, help with illustrations, and recommendations on the write-up. Former Society Laboratory Supervisor and good friend Verna Detrich, one of my original 1977 crew, patiently functioned as my conscience throughout the long history of the project. Long-lost crew member Marilyn Wyss magically appeared with critical references to what was probably the most important artifact that we recovered in 1977, but given her usual optimistic out- look, Marilyn probably didn’t even know that she was lost. Former Society Archeologist Don Rowlison reviewed the draft manuscript, as did Verna and Marilyn. Fort Larned National Historic Site Superintendent Steve Linderer and Interpreter George Elmore provided partial funding for completion of this report, and loaned the Monger Collection of artifacts, maps, and field notes generated by Earl's multiple episodes of work at the site. Dr. Leo Oliva, Chairman of the Fort Larned Old Guard, provided important corrections in his review of the draft manuscript. Midwest Archeological Center Manager Mark Lynott agreed to bear the remaining cost of analysis and report preparation. Midwest Archeological Center Archeologist Doug Scott lent his considerable ex- pertise in the identification of the Society and Monger artifactual materials and put his personal reference library at my disposal. Tom Frusher willingly provided an opportunity for Doug and Midwest Archeo- logical Center Archeologist Tom Thiessen to examine his personal artifact collection from the site. Both Doug and Tom also reviewed the draft manuscript. Finally, the discovery and study of the Indian village destroyed by the Hancock Expedition in 1867 was a personal labor of love for Earl Monger, a gifted avocational archeologist from Larned, Kansas, and his wife, Iris. Much of this report simply would not have been possible to write without the field notes and maps that the Mongers kept throughout their investigations. Bruce A.

  • Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical
    Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography ______________________________________________________ 3.1 Introduction The Arapaho believe they were the first people created on earth. The Arapaho called themselves, the Hinanae'inan, "Our Own Kind of People.”1 After their creation, Arapaho tradition places them at the earth's center. The belief in the centrality of their location is no accident. Sociologically, the Arapaho occupied the geographical center among the five ethnic distinct tribal-nations that existed prior to the direct European contact.2 3.2 Culture History and Territory Similar to many other societies, the ethnic formation of the Arapaho on the Great Plains into a tribal-nation was a complex sociological process. The original homeland for the tribe, according to evidence, was the region of the Red River and the Saskatchewan River in settled horticultural communities. From this original homeland various Arapaho divisions gradually migrated southwest, adapting to living on the Great Plains.3 One of the sacred objects, symbolic of their life as horticulturalists, that they carried with them onto the Northern Plains is a stone resembling an ear of corn. According to their oral traditions, the Arapaho were composed originally of five distinct tribes. 4 Arapaho elders remember the Black Hills country, and claim that they once owned that region, before moving south and west into the heart of the Great Plains. By the early nineteenth century, the Arapaho positioned themselves geographically from the two forks of the Cheyenne River, west of the Black Hills southward to the eastern front 87 of the central Rocky Mountains at the headwaters of the Arkansas River.5 By 1806 the Arapaho formed an alliance with the Cheyenne to resist against further intrusion west by the Sioux beyond the Missouri River.

A Soldier and His Many Hats: The volutE ion of American Military Headgear Abstract Military headgear is a fascinating topic. It exists on a spectrum from the gaudy to the protective, but how did headgear evolve with the military? Interestingly, changes from the decorative to the practical can be examined through this blog’s favorite topic, the 1800s and the American Civil War. By tracing key changes in American military headgear in the 1800s, ideas about the nature of war, as well as how the United States was distancing itself from Europe, become clear.

Radermacher The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Jeffrey T. Clark Chair Thomas Riley Stephanie Day Michael Michlovic Approved: 10/11/2016 Jeffrey Bumgarner Date Department Chair ABSTRACT As technologies advance in the fields of geology and computer science, new methods in remote sensing, including data acquisition and analyses, make it possible to accurately model diverse landscapes. Archaeological applications of these systems are becoming increasingly popular, especially in regards to site prospection and the geospatial analysis of cultural features. Different methodologies were used to identify fortified ditch features of anthropogenic origin using aerial lidar from known prehistoric sites in North Dakota. The results were compared in an attempt to develop a system aimed at detecting similar, unrecorded morphological features on the landscape. The successful development of this program will allow archaeological investigators to review topography and locate specific features on the surface that otherwise could be difficult to identify as a result of poor visibility in the field.
