1 Oneota Settlement Patterns Around Lake Koshkonong ONEOTA SETTLEMENT PATTERNS AROUND LAKE KOSHKONONG IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN: AN ENVIRONMENTAL CATCHMENT ANALYSIS USING GIS MODELING By Richard Wynn Edwards IV A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2010 1 ONEOTA SETTLEMENT PATTERNS AROUND LAKE KOSHKONONG IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN: AN ENVIRONMENTAL CATCHMENT ANALYSIS USING GIS MODELING By Richard Wynn Edwards IV A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2010 Major Professor Date Graduate School Approval Date ABSTRACT 2 ONEOTA SETTLEMENT PATTERNS AROUND LAKE KOSHKONONG IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN: AN ENVIRONMENTAL CATCHMENT ANALYSIS USING GIS MODELING by Richard Wynn Edwards IV The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2010 Under the Supervision of Robert J. Jeske PhD RPA An environmental catchment analysis was conducted to determine the nature of Oneota settlement patterns on the western shore of Lake Koshkonong in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. Previous studies have used coarse-grained analyses which have led to an overgeneralization of Oneota settlement patterns. This research uses a fine-grained analysis to elucidate the variation of Oneota village placement within the study area. Prehistoric vegetation patterns were recreated using the General Land Office Survey notes and soil data. Two kilometer catchments were drawn around four sites; Crescent Bay Hunt Club (47JE904), Schmeling (47JE833), Twin Knolls (47JE379), and the Carcajou Point (47JE002). Analysis of these catchments clarified the nature of environmental variation in Oneota settlement patterns, increasing our understanding of their overall lifeways.

Analyzing Late Prehistoric Bison bison Remains near La Crosse, Wisconsin using Historic General Land Office Maps Andrew M. Saleh University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA Abstract: This study used geographic information systems, pre- historic archaeological contexts, and historic General Land Of- fice (GLO) maps to conduct a pilot inter-site analysis involving La Crosse, Wisconsin area Oneota sites with reported Bison bi- son remains as of 2014. Scholars in and around Wisconsin con- tinually discuss the potential reasons why bison remains appear in late prehistoric contexts. This analysis continued that discus- sion with updated methods and vegetation data and provides a case study showing the strength of using historic GLO maps in conjunction with archaeological studies. This research suggests that creating your own maps in coordination with the GLO’s publicly available original surveyor data is more accurate than using the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) vegetation polygon that cites the same data.

Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

  • Feasting and Communal Ritual in the Lower Mississippi Valley, Ad 700–1000
    FEASTING AND COMMUNAL RITUAL IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, AD 700–1000 Megan Crandal Kassabaum A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Vincas P. Steponaitis C. Margaret Scarry Dale L. Hutchinson Brett H. Riggs Valerie Lambert © 2014 Megan Crandal Kassabaum ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Crandal Kassabaum: Feasting and Communal Ritual in the Lower Mississippi Valley, AD 700–1000 (Under the direction of Vincas P. Steponaitis) This dissertation examines prehistoric activity at the Feltus site (22Je500) in Jefferson County, Mississippi, to elucidate how Coles Creek (AD 700–1200) platform mound sites were used. Data from excavations undertaken by the Feltus Archaeological Project from 2006 to 2012 support the conclusion that Coles Creek people utilized Feltus episodically for some 400 years, with little evidence of permanent habitation. More specifically, the ceramic, floral, and faunal data suggest that Feltus provided a location for periodic ritual events focused around food consumption, post-setting, and mound building. The rapidity with which the middens at Feltus were deposited and the large size of the ceramic vessels implies that the events occurring there brought together large groups of people for massive feasting episodes. The vessel form assemblage is dominated by open bowls and thus suggests an emphasis on food consumption, with less evidence for food preparation and virtually none for food storage. Overall, the ceramic assemblage emphasizes a great deal of continuity in the use of the Feltus landscape from the earliest occupation, during the Hamilton Ridge phase, through the latest, during the Balmoral phase.

  • Constructing Community and Cosmos: a Bioarchaeological Analysis of Wisconsin Effigy Mound Mortuary Practices and Mound Construction
    CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILSOPHY Anthropology 2012 ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison This dissertation presents an analysis of the mounds, human skeletal remains, grave goods, and ritual paraphernalia interred within mounds traditionally categorized as belonging to the Wisconsin Effigy Mound Tradition. The term ‘Effigy Mound Tradition’ commonly refers to a widespread mound building and ritual phenomenon that spanned the Upper Midwest during the Late Woodland (A.D. 600-A.D. 1150). Specifically, this study explores how features of mound construction and burial may have operated in the social structure of communities participating in this panregional ceremonial movement. The study uses previously excavated skeletal material, published archaeological reports, unpublished field notes, and photographs housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum to examine the social connotations of various mound forms and mortuary ritual among Wisconsin Effigy Mound communities. The archaeological and skeletal datasets consisted of data collected from seven mound sites with an aggregate sample of 197 mounds and a minimum number of individuals of 329. The mortuary analysis in this study explores whether the patterning of human remains interred within mounds were part of a system involved with the 1) creation of collective/ corporate identity, 2) denoting individual distinction and/or social inequality, or 3) a combination of both processes occurring simultaneously within Effigy Mound communities.
