  • Alternative Histories and North American Archaeology
    PAU01 9/17/2004 8:32 PM Page 1 1 Alternative Histories and North American Archaeology Timothy R. Pauketat and Diana DiPaolo Loren North America is one immense outdoor museum, telling a story that covers 9 million square miles and 25,000 years (Thomas 2000a:viii) The chapters in this volume highlight the story of a continent, from the Atlantic to Alaska, from the San Luis mission to Sonora, and from the Kennewick man of nine millennia ago to the Colorado coalfield strikes of nine decades ago (Figure 1.1). Given the considerable span of time and vastness of space, the reader might already be wondering: what holds North American archaeology together? Unlike other por- tions of the world, it is not the study of the sequential rise and fall of ancient states and empires that unified peoples into a people with a single writing system, calen- dar, or economy. No, North America is, and was, all about alternative histories. It is about peoples in the plural. Peoples did things differently in North America. They made their own histories, sometimes forgotten, subverted, and controversial but never outside the purview of archaeology. Yet, in their plurality, the North Americans of the past show us the commonalities of the human experience.The inimitable ways in which people made history in North America hold profound lessons for understanding the sweep of global history, if not also for comprehending the globalizing world in which we find ourselves today. That is, like all good yarns, there is a moral to this archaeological allegory: what people did do or could do matters significantly in the construction of the collective futures of all people.

Title: The Holocene History of Bison in the Intermountain West: A Synthesis of Archaeological and Paleontological Records from Eastern Oregon.

  • Plateau Burial Assemblages
    CHAPTER 6 PLATEAU BURIAL ASSEMBLAGES This chapter presents detailed site descriptions and analysis. The emphasis is on assemblages containing at least ten undisturbed burials with secure grave associations, but many sites not meeting this criteria are also discussed in a qualitative fashion, particularly from the Canadian Plateau, for which there are far fewer assemblages meeting even this size criterion. While much of the information could have been summarised in table form, it was felt necessary to discuss aspects of each site that are not conducive to this kind of presentation. Discussion of sites proceeds roughly from the lower Middle Columbia northwards to the Fraser and Thompson areas of the Canadian Plateau. The locations of sites mentioned in the text are shown in Figures 6.1 and 6.2. Data on age, sex, and the number of artifact types found in individual burials at each of the sites for which at least some quantitative analysis is provided are listed in Appendix A (Tables A.l and A.2). The Lower Middle Columbia The Dalles-Deschutes Archaeological research in The Dalles-Deschutes region began in the 1920s (W. Strong et al. 1930), unfortunately without the benefit of the many advances in field techniques that have occurred since. Further excavations were undertaken in the 1950s (Butler 1957, 1959, 1963; Caldwell 1956), but by this time the entire area had been heavily looted by collectors. Direct radiocarbon dates on human bone or associated grave inclusions are, as far as I have been able to determine, totally nonexistent, making it difficult to deal with temporal change.
