Salmon, for the months of dedicated research, mapping, and analysis that led to the production of this important study. In all, more than 35 pro- fessionals, including professors and students representing six universities, American Indian representatives, consultants, public agency representatives, and community leaders contributed to this report. Each person brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge, keen insight and a personal devotion to the project. We are especially grateful for the generous financial support that we received from the following private foundations, organizations and corporate partners: The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Clay- ton Fund, Inc., Colcom Foundation, The Conservation Fund, Lockheed Martin, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Merrill Foundation, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Rauch Foundation, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, Verizon, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. Without their support this project would simply not have been possible. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the board of directors of the Chesapeake Conser- vancy, and to John Maounis, Superintendent of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Trail. -

Stone Disks in Iroquoia
Stone Disks in Iroquoia By William Engelbrecht, Kathleen Allen, Bill Fox, Jim Herbstritt, Joshua Kwoka, Wayne Lenig, and Martha Sempowski Abstract Iroquoian speakers played the hoop and pole game, but there are no historic descriptions of Iroquoians playing chunkey, a variant of hoop and pole in which a rolled stone disk is used instead of a hoop. Also, no distinctively shaped Cahokia style chunkey stones have been found on Iroquoian sites. This has led to the belief that chunkey was not played by Iroquoians. However, a symmetrical stone disk that rolled well across a carpeted surface was recovered from the Eaton site, a mid-sixteenth century Erie village. Other researchers provided examples of symmetrical stone disks from Neutral, Erie, Seneca, Cayuga, Mohawk, and Susquehannock sites. These specimens generally resemble the Bradley variant of chunkey stones from the Midwest. We argue that these Iroquoian stone disks were used to play chunkey. In addition to describing the physical characteristics of the specimens, we discuss possible symbolism and functions of the game among Iroquoians and likely reasons for its disappearance. Chunkey, and “Hoop and Pole” Chunkey is a game that involves rolling a stone disk known as a chunkey stone or discoidal along a flat surface. The name comes from the Choctaw, chungke (Adair 1775:401). It is a variant of 41 Iroquoia: The Journal of the Conference on Iroquois Research Volume 4 October 2018 Engelbrecht, Allen, Fox, Herbstritt, Kwoka, Lenig, Sempowski the hoop and pole game which was played throughout North America (Culin 1907:420-422). Both games could be played by two players or by teams. -

The Lower Susquehanna Area
Indigenous Cultural Landscapes Study for the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail: the Lower Susquehanna Area September 2015 Katherine M. Faull, Ph.D. -- Principal Investigator David Minderhout, Ph.D. -- Native American Ethno-Historical Consultant Kristal Jones, Ph.D. -- GIS Research Associate Brandn Green, Ph.D. -- Research Associate prepared under cooperative agreement with Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA and The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, MD Revised Final November 2015 Executive Summary The area of the Lower Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, PA to the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland contains more than 50 identified sites of significance for Native American history and culture. These sites are part of a larger landscape of river, hills, plains, and waterways that are meaningful to the history and present-day lives of people who claim American Indian descent, especially from the Susquehannock Indians. This study, based on scholarly and oral traditions, argues that remnant peoples of Susquehannock descent were absorbed into the various nations of the Haudenosaunee and continue to have a vital interest in the interpretation and preservation of this stretch of the Susquehanna River. This report provides background and evidence for the inclusion of many of these locations within a high-probability indigenous cultural landscape boundary—a focus area provided to the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Advisory Council for the purposes of future -

Gretchen Anderson Gwynne Long Island Chapter INTRODUCTION Recent archaeological work on Long Island has shown that coastal New York is of great importance for an understanding of the full range of prehistoric northeastern North American lifeways. Long Island data, for example, throw into question the usefulness of the traditional pre-horticultural subsistence/settlement model (hunting and gathering, following a seasonal round) for environmentally beneficent areas. Although the idea that the first permanent human settlements developed as a direct result of the development or acquisition of horticultural techniques is now seen as much too simplistic, the traditional model for pre-horticultural subsistence and settlement in many parts of the northeast has been, and still is, one of seasonal relocation. For many years, prehistoric
