  • The Archeological Heritage of Kansas
    THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF KANSAS A Synopsis of the Kansas Preservation Plan by John D. Reynolds and William B. Lees, Ph.D. Edited By Robert J. Hoard and Virginia Wulfkuhle funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service KSHS Archeology Popular Report No. 7 Cultural Resources Division Kansas State Historical Society Topeka, Kansas 2004 1 Preface This document is a synopsis of the archeology section of the Kansas Preservation Plan, which was financed in part with Federal funds from the National Park Service, a division of the United States Department of the Interior, and administered by the Kansas State Historical Society. The contents and opinions, however, do not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the United States Department of the Interior or the Kansas State Historical Society. The Kansas Preservation Plan is a technical document that was developed for the Historic Preservation Department of the Kansas State Historical Society that is designed to provide the background for making informed decisions in preserving the state's heritage. The size and technical nature of the plan make it inaccessible to many who have interests or responsibilities in Kansas archeology. Thus, the following synopsis of the archeology sections of the Kansas Preservation Plan is designed as a non-technical, abbreviated introduction to Kansas archeology. William B. Lees and John D. Reynolds wrote the original version of this document in 1989. These two men were employed by the Kansas State Historical Society, respectively, as Historic Archeologist and Assistant State Archeologist. Bill Lees moved on to work in Oklahoma and Kentucky.

Broster ABSTRACT Printed By : The Pierce site, located in Chester County, Tennessee, was first recorded in 1973. This site contained some 140 Paleo-Indian artifacts dating from Clovfs to late Paleo-Indian times. This paper attempts an initial analysis of this body of data, and is strongly centered upon a functional interpretation of both the artifacts and the site. Little has been professionally reported concerning the Graphic Arts Service Paleo-Indian occupation of West Tennessee, and it is hoped that this study will help fill the gap in our knowledge of this area. University of Tennessee Introduction Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 During the fall of 1973, as part of a general archaeological survey of the South Fork of the Forked Deer River drainage, a concentration of Paleo-Indian lithic materials was recorded on a small sandy rise 350 meters northeast of the Eastern Citadel of the Pinson Mounds site (40Mdl). Throughout the following two years, with the pennission of the landowner, Mr. William F. Pierce, we were able to retrieve a controlled surface collection of 140 Paleo-Indian artifacts. The Pierce site is situated on · the plateau-bluff system which skirts the northern bank of the South Fork of the Forked Deer River.

Biface variability is recorded using landmark geometric morphometrics. Raw material data is used to assess Hi-Lo toolstone usage patterns and the impact of raw material constraints on manufacture. Statistical analyses are used to assess patterning of variability in space. Spatial results are interpreted using cultural transmission theory in terms of their implications for the geographic scale of social learning among Hi-Lo knappers. Results of the spatial analyses are related to theory about hunter-gatherer social networks in order to understand the effects of hypothesized settling in processes on late Paleoindian knappers. Results indicate random spatial patterning of Hi-Lo variability. The absence of spatial autocorrelation for Hi-Lo size indicates that settling in processes were not sufficiently pronounced during the late Paleoindian period to manifest as inter-regional variability within the Hi-Lo type. Keywords: Ontario Archaeology, New York Archaeology, Hi-Lo, Late Paleoindian, Settling In, Biface Variability, Geometric Morphometrics, Cultural Transmission Theory, Raw Material Usage, Mobility, Early Holocene ii Acknowledgments I first like to thank my supervisor Dr.

Archaeologists Mary Harper and Ross Harper (Public Archaeology Survey Team, Inc.), Dr. Warren Perry, Janet Woodruff and Gerald Sawyer (Central Connecticut State University), and historian Dr. Bruce Clouette (Public Archaeology Survey Team, Inc.) freely shared their expertise and unpublished research on the archaeology and history of the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company property. Dr. Karl Stofko, East Haddam Municipal Historian, generously shared his unpublished biographical research on several of the former occupants of the historic archaeology sites discussed in this report and his discoveries of old news accounts concerning portions of the Connecticut Yankee property. Lisa Malloy, Executive Director of the Haddam Historical Society, and local resi- dents Robert Johnson, Susan (Smith) Olsen, Peter Smith, Alison Guinness, Jim McCutcheon, Constance (Brooks) La Rosa, and the late Lillian Brooks kindly shared information on the local history and physi- cal landscapes. The staff in the Office of the Town Clerk at Haddam Town Hall was helpful during our searches of the Land Records and Town maps. The library staffs at the Brainerd Memorial Library in Haddam and the Rathbun Free Library in East Haddam were helpful in our research of local histories and genealogies.

  • The Satchell Complex in Ontario: a Perspective from the Ausable Valley
    KENYON:THESATCHELLCOMPLEX 17 THE SATCHELL COMPLEX IN ONTARIO: A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE AUSABLE VALLEY Ian T. Kenyon ABSTRACT The Satchell complex is characterized by the presence of lanceolate and straight stemmed bifaces (blades may range from narrow to broad) that are made of greywacke, a coarse grained rock. In Ontario, stemmed greywacke bifaces are almost invariably associated with chert points of similar forms. The Ontario distribution of Satchell is confined to the extreme southwestern portion of the province; the complex is also found in adjacent areas of the United States. In this paper the greywacke bifaces are considered to be Late Archaic with a temporal placement sometime in the second millennium B.C. Satchell may be a local expression of the widely spread Broadpoint horizon. In particular, comparisons can be made between Satchell and such "Broadpoint" complexes as the Batten Kill phase of New York, Stalling's Island of the American Southeast, and the Titterington phase of Illinois and Missouri. For the Ontario Satchell, the size of the straight stemmed points is conjectured to change through time: the broad-bladed forms, which may be patterned after the broadpoints of the Southeastern United States, may be earlier than the narrow-bladed forms. The lanceolate bifaces have a more restricted spatial distribution than the stemmed points; the lanceolates appear to be most common in the American Midwest and the south-central Great Lakes. Many of the Ontario greywacke lanceolates have a distinctive use-wear pattern on their tips suggesting they may not be projectile points but some other tool type. INTRODUCTION The Satchell Complex in Michigan: A Summary In the United States, the Satchell complex is found mainly in the Saginaw valley (Peske 1963), southeastern Michigan (Brose 1976; Cufr 1973) and northwestern Ohio (Cufr 1973).
