The Impact of Ceramic Raw Materials on the Development of Hopewell The Impact of Ceramic Raw Materials on the Development of Hopewell and Preclassic Maya Pottery A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology of the College of Arts and Sciences by Dominique Sparks-Stokes May 2019 B.A. University of Cincinnati December 2017 Committee Chair: Kenneth Barnett Tankersley, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role ceramic raw materials play in the technological development of pottery in two geographically separated regions, the Middle Woodland Hopewell in the Ohio River Valley and the Preclassic Maya in Lowland Belize. To this end, a suite of physical, mineralogical, and chemical analytical techniques including scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and X-ray diffractometry is used to examine the ceramic raw material composition of pottery sherds from the Hopewell Twin Mounds Village site in southwestern Ohio and the Preclassic Maya Colha site in northeastern Belize. The Preclassic Maya pottery from the Colha site is technologically more advanced than Hopewell pottery from the Twin Mounds Village site in terms of hardness, porosity, and refractory properties such as thermal conductivity, resistance to thermal shock, and thermal decomposition. These ceramic properties result from the use of locally available volcanogenic clays at the Colha site. Comparable ceramic raw materials were unavailable to the Hopewell at the Twin Mounds Village site, which resulted in poorer quality pottery. ii iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Court Family Foundation and the Charles Phelps Taft Foundation supported this project. Dr. Fred Valdez, University of Texas, Austin provided pottery sherds from the Colha site in Belize, which was imperative to the completion of this work. Many thanks go to Department of Geology and Dr. Warren Huff for use of their instruments and assisting with X-ray Diffractometry analysis and Liquid separation. Gratitude goes to my loving friends and family for both mental and emotional support as I partook though this journey. The guidance and encouragement of Drs. Kenneth Barnett Tankersley and Sarah Jackson made this thesis possible. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………….……….….….ii Listing of Figures…………………………………………………….………...…...vii Listing of Tables………………………………………………………………….....ix Chapter 1: Introduction………………………………………………………………1 Chapter 2: Physical Properties of Pottery………………………...………………….7 Physical Properties of Clay…………………………………………………..7 Physical Properties of Pottery.……………………………………….….....10 Hardness………….…………………………………………….……....…..10 Strength……………………...…...…….………………..………….………11 Porosity…………. ……………………………………………….…….......12 Color……………………………...…….……………………….……...…..12 Firing Temperature………………………………………….……………...13 Texture…………….………………………………………….………....….14 Summary..………………………...…….………………….…………...…..15 Chapter 3: Archaeological Sites………….………………………………………...16 Colha……..…………………...…………………………….………………18 Twin Mounds……………………………………………….………………20 Summary…………….. ……..……………………………….……………..23 Chapter 4: Methods and Analyses..….…………………...……….…………...…...24 Pottery Sample………..…...……………………………….…………..…...25 Physical Properties….……..………………...………………………....…...25 Sample Preparation..………………………………………….…………….25 v Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS)…………………………...…….……………………………….…....29 Powder X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD)....…………….……….…….....30 Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescent Spectrometry (ED-XRF)………......30 Summary…………………………...…….………………….………….…..31 Chapter 5: Results……….…………………………………..………...……….…...32 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)………………..…….……………...32 Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS)……………………..………...…...34 X-ray Diffractometry Analysis (XRD).……………….………….…...…....35 Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescent Spectrometry (ED-XRF).…………..38 Summary………….…………………………………………………....…...41 Chapter 6: Discussion and Conclusion.………..…………………………….……..42 References Cited………………………………………………………..……….….45 vi LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: The geographical locations of the Middle Woodland Hopewell Twin Mounds village and Preclassic Maya Colha site.

Like its human biological counterpart, White believed that non-genetic culture also evolves. A primary aspect of his theory was the technological component of culture. He argued that technology was the driving force behind cultural evolution. White emphasized that the material, physical, and chemical aspects of technology provide humans with a means of survival and ultimately adaptation. White’s theory of cultural evolution drew upon the economic theoretical framework of Marxian economics. In particular, White focused on concept that the economic base determines the superstructure of society (i.e., political power structures, roles, state, etc.). In this perspective, the role of ceramic technology can be viewed as an important facet of a culture’s economic base, which in part determines the development of social superstructure. Ceramic raw material availability, quality, and their physical properties and chemical composition ultimately limit the level of the technological development of pottery. Consequently, the origin of pottery and its level of development vary in many parts of the world and at different points in times (Brown, 1989). Therefore, it is not surprising that the level of ceramic development corresponds to the level of a culture’s polity. That is, complex levels of ceramic technology are associated with more complex polities. Cross-culturally and pan-globally, the earliest pottery co-occurs with plant domestication and the need to store grain in insect-free containers. Food storage in ceramic containers was a crucial technological adaptation to increasing populations in environmentally or socially circumscribed regions. These subsistence and demographic changes are found in ceramic 1 technological innovations, class differences, and demands on labor (Goody, 1982:50153). Thus, understanding changes or differences in the development of ceramic technology are important indicators of changes in ancient subsistence economies (Barnett and Hoopes 1995; Mills, 1999; Arnold, 1999; Skibo and Blinman, 1999). With higher quality ceramic raw materials, greater technological developments could be made. In these situations, pottery played multiple and more complex roles in societies that went far beyond their subsistence functions. In complex polities, high-quality ceramic raw materials allowed pottery to enter exchange networks and became modes of social communications. Their new and differentiated roles in social communication were possible because of the physical and chemical properties of the ceramic raw materials (Stark, 1999). The accessibility and procurement of higher quality ceramic raw materials facilitated a shift from functional mundane pottery to elaborately decorated vessels in a structural hierarchy and status symbols in a complex polity, which communicates social strata, sacred values, and economically valued prestigious gifts (Stark, 1999). Anthropologically, the economics of ceramic production can be viewed as the cornerstone of the human livelihood in complex polities. In other words, understanding the modes of ceramic production is vital to our understanding of complex forms of social and political organization (Longacre, 1999). If the level

The function of Fv196 is in question, because it does not conform to the settlement and function models that have been applied to other sites. The ceramic collection from Fv196 was typed and categorized into categories based on perceived function, either habitation or ceremonial. The majority of the pottery belonged to the Havana series, which is traditionally considered habitation pottery; however, many of the Havana sherds are decorated indicating a ceremonial function.

  • Prehistoric Hopewell Meteorite Collecting : Context and Implicatiosn
    PREHISTORIC HOPEWELL METEORITE COLLECTING: CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS OLAF H. PRUFER Department of Humanities and Social Studies, Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio INTRODUCTION This paper examines and evaluates the curious practice of meteorite collecting among the prehistoric Hopewell people of Eastern North America and, more specifically, of Ohio. The Hopewell culture complex, viewed in overall terms, covers a temporal range from approximately 400 B.C. to 400 A.D. It is not certain that this total range is applicable to the Ohio area, the center of Hopewell cultural intensity. There are indications that Ohio Hopewell began somewhat later and ended some- what earlier than other Hopewell manifestations (Prufer, 1961). The Hopewell complex represents one of the most highly-developed prehistoric cultures of Eastern North America. It is principally characterized by a tendency toward an extreme mortuary ceremonialism expressed in the construction of large and richly furnished burial mounds and earthworks. The entire ethos of Hopewell culture appears to have been directed toward this ceremonialism. Nearly all artistic efforts, special technological skills, and a far-flung trading network were devoted to providing goods to be ultimately deposited in burials. The dichotomy between the fabulous Hopewell burial mounds and their contents, and the unspectacular Hopewell village sites is sharply apparent, especially in Ohio and Illinois, where some of the great tumuli have yielded literally thousands of ceremonial objects. The production of such objects of high quality seems to have been the main interest of the Hopewellians. Part of this conspicuous collecting and mortuary disposal of wealth is a marked interest in exotic materials such as obsidian, from the Rockies or the Southwest, grizzly bear canine teeth from the Rockies, marine shells from Florida, native copper and silver from the Upper Great Lakes region, and mica from Virginia and the Carolinas.

  • The Havana Culture Late in the Archaic Period, Near the Confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, Dramatic Cultural
    The Havana Culture Late in the Archaic Period, near the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, dramatic cultural changes occurred quickly. The area was occupied by the Prairie Lake people of the Red Ocher tradition, who lived in substantial villages on river bluffs above the floodplains. About 2,600 BP, pottery-making Marion groups from the north as well as Black Sand people from the south began settling the floodplains of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. These immigrants had a profound influence on the local people, who soon abandoned their bluff based villages and Red Ochre cemetary burials. The intrusive immigrants lived in small hamlets on the floodplain. These hamlets have produced no evidence of their burials or mortuary activity, but they do contain the first pottery in Illinois. By 2,200 BP, the interaction of the Marion, Black Sand and Red Ocher cultures catalyzed rapid culture change and the beginning of the Havana culture. (Farnsworth 2009) Havana Hopewell By 2,100 BP, about 100 years after the Havana culture emerged, extensive mound building and Hopewellian mortuary ritual had begun. Eventually, the Havana built Hopewell mounds and ritual centers at ~ 9-12 mi. intervals in the floodplain along the river. Many ritual centers were associated with bluff-top villages with adjacent mounded cemeteries, suggesting some groups chose to continue some of the Red Ocher culture. (Farnsworth 2009; Griffin 1967) Ceramics The Havana developed a distinctive limestone temper ceramic technology and style. Their Fine Havana Zoned Stamped vessels are the first Hopewell pottery. Pots with distinctive decorations were later imported from Hopewell centers in Tennessee and Georgia.

AHLRICHS (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and KATHERINE STERNER-MILLER (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) During the Late Archaic to Early Woodland transition, caches of blue gray chert bifaces were deposited throughout the Midwest, often in association with burials. The types of analyses that can be conducted on these bifaces are restricted by NAGPRA. Specifically, cleaning of artifacts deemed necessary to conduct high power use-wear analysis is prohibited. An experiment testing three progressive levels of washing demonstrates that Wyandotte chert is fine-grained enough to display surface polishes from use even without intensive washing. The positive results of this experiment are then applied a sample of bifaces from the Riverside site in Michigan’s Upper Peninsu- la.

KENNEDY (Dayton Society of Natural History) The DSNH is cataloging a large collection of archaeological artifacts from the Lichliter site, excavated in the 1960s, near Dayton, Ohio. The materials are from the Late Woodland, a poorly known time period in Ohio prehistory. Despite wide interest, no other professional had ever seen the artifacts, maps, or notes until the collection was returned in 2012. To accomplish deciphering and cataloging the site collection into a meaningful, cross-referenced database, the DSNH staff trained on QLC’s ArcheoLINK software. This project will serve as the first case study in applying ArcheoLINK as a collection management solution for archaeological research collections.
