Honey or Vinegar: Oneota Interaction in the Central and Northeastern Plains by Benjamin Shirar A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of St. Cloud State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Cultural Resource Management Archaeology May, 2019 Thesis Committee: Mark Muñiz, Chair Robbie Mann John Doershuk Mark Anderson 2 Abstract Beginning AD 1150 and extending until European contact, the archaeological culture referred to as “Oneota” underwent an explosive spread across the American midcontinent. As Oneota ideas, people, or some combination thereof moved westward, they encountered people from other cultures. Along the western frontier of Oneota culture, evidence suggests that relations between Oneota and Plains indigenes took a variety of forms. To better understand how various environmental and cultural factors may have informed the decision-making process with regard to inter-group interaction, four sites along this western Oneota periphery were selected for analysis: Shea and Sprunk in eastern North Dakota, White Rock in north-central Kansas, and Dixon in northwest Iowa. The evidence for both inter-group contact and site function is evaluated and compared across these four sites, and ultimately synthesized with existing knowledge and theories of Oneota interaction. It is suggested that Oneota social relations may have been partially dependent on whether other groups were in competition for a similar resource base; this process allowed a relationship between Oneota and Psinomani peoples to flourish, while minimizing the possibility of positive relations with Central Plains Tradition peoples. This hypothesis offers directions for future research, including the extent of the relationship between Oneota and Psinomani peoples and the movement of commodities from western Oneota outposts to the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest regions often viewed as the Oneota heartland. 3 Acknowledgments Thanks are owed to many people for their time, effort, and support throughout writing this thesis. My advisor, Dr. Mark Muñiz, was enormously supportive throughout the process, from the first tentative steps of my proposal through wrestling with statistics, interpretive frameworks, and all points in between. Likewise, my committee members— Dr. John Doershuk, Dr. Rob Mann, and Mark Anderson—gave helpful feedback on a number of topics, from the loftiest theoretical issues to individual sentences. The mentorship of my various committee members extends back to my earliest archaeology experiences: Mark Anderson was there the first time I dug a hole and had to write down what came out of it, John Doershuk taught my field school, and Drs. Mann and Muñiz have been instrumental in developing my technical and theoretical understanding of archaeology, as well as formulating my own philosophy of resource management. My classmates have been constantly supportive and encouraging. Particular thanks to Lacy, Ian, and Rae for believing in me beyond the point of rationality. Warren, Stephen, and the rest of the Iowa OSA crew are also owed thanks for their often irreverent and always insightful input. Brad Logan, George Holley, Michael Michlovic, and Ron Schirmer helped me acquire the reference materials and site reports. Ernie Boszhardt and Dale Henning provided extremely helpful guidance regarding all things Oneota. I thank my brothers and sister, and my parents, for their unwavering support. Finally, my fiancée, Alicia, has weathered all the vicissitudes of partnering an archaeologist—from long stints in the field to shutting myself in the office for days on end to write—with unfailing good humor. My humblest thanks to all of these, as well as the many people I doubtless omitted. All errors, of course, are entirely my own. 4 Table of Contents Page List of Tables ........................................................................................................................ 6 List of Figures ....................................................................................................................... 7 Chapter 1.

Photography by Jim D. Feagins (summer of 1972). Note the museum display on the King Hill site at the Friday reception. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> King Hill, an Oneota Village in St. Joseph, Missouri The King Hill archaeological site is located on a high, loess-covered bluff overlooking the Missouri River valley in the southern part of the city of St. Joseph, Missouri. The King Hill village location contains cultural materials associated with the Fanning Phase (Henning 1998:391-393) a protohistoric/early historic Oneota occupation. This Oneota site is thought to probably represent an early Kansa (Kaw) Indian site (Henning 1970:146, 1993:258; Wedel 1959:17; Ruppert 1974:2). Based on the artifacts recovered, it is felt to have been occupied around A.D. 1700 or very shortly thereafter. The Oneota first appeared in the midwest about a thousand years ago. They inhabited an area that stretched from central Missouri to northern Wisconsin and from northeastern Kansas and eastern Nebraska to southwestern Michigan. They are thought to have developed into a number of historic tribes such as the Kansa, Ioway, Missouri, Omaha, Winnebago, Oto, and others, possibly the Osage. At King Hill, the Oneota women made globular-shaped, shell-tempered pottery, usually with high flaring-rims.

  • Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario
    White Dogs, Black Bears, and Ghost Gamblers: Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario JAMES B. BANDOW Museum of Ontario Archaeology, University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION Historians and ethnographers have debated the antiquity of the Midewiwin. Entrenched in historical discourse is Hickerson’s (1962, 1970) theory that the Midewiwin was a recent native resistance movement, a socio-evolutionary response to the changing culture patterns resulting from culture contact with Europeans. Other scholars view the Midewiwin as a syncretism, suggesting that a prehistoric component became intertwined with Christian influences that resulted in the ceremonial practices observed by ethnohistorians (Mason 2009; Aldendefer 1993; Dewdney 1975; Landes 1968). Recent critiques, however, provide evidence from material culture studies and center on the largely Western bias inherent in Hickerson’s diffusionist argument surrounding the post-contact origin of the Midewiwin. These arguments note structural similarities observed in birch bark scroll depictions, rock paintings and pictographs with historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, and oral history. These multiple perspectives lead some historians to conclude the practice was a pre-contact phenomenon (e.g., Angel 2002:68; Peers 1994:24; Schenck 1997:102; Kidd 1981:43; Hoffman 1891:260). Archaeological and material culture studies may provide further insight into understanding the origins of the Midewiwin. Oberholtzer’s (2002) recent overview of dog burial practices, for instance, compared prehistoric ritual patterns with the known historical practices and concluded that the increased complexity of the Midewiwin Society is an elaboration of substantive indigenous practices that must predate any European influence. This paper documents the archaeological continuity and syncretism of Mide symbolism observed from the Great Lakes region.

Hunter The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2002 Under the Supervision of Dr. Robert J. Jeske This study is a comparative analysis of two contemporaneous sites from two related cultural systems, Oneota and Langford. Similarities and differences between the sites were examined through analysis of technology, faunal and floral remains, and environmental variables. A catchment analysis was completed to understand environmental factors affecting agricultural practices and resource utilization between the two sites. The issue of agricultural production and the extent this subsistence strategy was utilized at two sites was examined. The Crescent Bay Hunt Club site (Oneota) and Washington Irving site (Langford) are shown to be similar in lithic technology but significantly different in ceramic technology, and subsistence strategies. The Oneota Crescent Bay Hunt Club site occupants were more dependant upon wetland resources than were the Langford occupants of the Washington Irving site. _______________________________________________________________________ Major Professor Date iii © Copyright by Chrisie L.
