Garniewicz ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to William Richard Adams, whose devotion and interest in zooarchaeology served as a model for many students, including myself. Born in 1923, Dick began his lifelong interest in animal remains while a student at Indiana University, receiving his undergraduate degree in zoology and his graduate degree in anthropology. His master’s thesis (Adams 1949) on animal remains from the Angel site is one of the first extensive faunal reports from the midwestern United States. Dick continued his association with Anthropology department from 1955 to 2002, tirelessly collecting and processing specimens. Over the course of his life he amassed one of the largest collections of comparative skeletons in a university setting. Yet, it is not merely his accomplishments and dedication, but more his sense of humor and kind nature, which set him apart from many. That his students, and a long list of volunteers, would de-flesh and process carcasses that had passed their peak, stands as testament to his likeable personality. The road-kill cookouts he had at his house, and even `chewing the fat’ in his lab, built a strong sense of friendship among many students and faculty in the department. Dick fully supported all of my work and gave me space and supplies for processing specimens in his lab asking nothing in return (except that one time I had to pick up a tapir from Detroit in my Chevy Nova). Without his assistance in providing me comparative specimens, facilities for processing new specimens, and the occasional help with specimen identification, I would not have been able to complete much of the work I have done during my time at IU. Dick Adams will always be remembered and appreciated by his many students. iv Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge all the assistance I have received from Patrick Munson over the years. He stimulated my ability to think critically and to come up with practical methodologies for resolving archaeological questions. His emphasis on actualistic studies was essential to my graduate career. During my work with him in the field I learned a great deal about archaeology, interpreting sedimentary sequences, and the value of coring. I appreciate his editing and will forever remember the proper use of the semicolon. Christopher Peebles provided me with financial and collegial support during my tenure at the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archeology. By pulling together a group of specialists at the lab he created an environment where archaeological theory and method meshed. Opportunity to work independently on research and to run summer field projects advanced me professionally. Now that I am off on my own, I recognize how important this interaction was. The other two members of my committee, Della Cook and Greg Olyphant were equally informing presences. Della, with her infinite knowledge about teeth (as well as other things), caused me to delve into examining the raccoon dentition. I have found that teeth are as interesting as they are complex and I will continue my studies well past this dissertation. Greg Olyphant provided me with the insight of a second discipline, including the proper ways of describing and interpreting soils in the field. Outside of my committee, Mark Schurr, Bob McCullough, Cheryl Munson, Brian Redmond, Bret Ruby, Diane Warren and Steve Ball all assisted me in my development as an archaeologist and provided support at various stages of this dissertation. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Amy Locklin, for her help, support, encouragement and understanding throughout the dissertation process. v Rexford C. Garniewicz ZOOARCHAEOLOGICAL MEASURES OF RESOURCE INTENSIFICATION AND DEPLETION: EXAMPLES FROM EASTERN NORTH AMERICA Abstract: The impact that increased human population size and agricultural intensification had on the prehistoric animal ecology of eastern North America is poorly understood. New methods for examining archaeologically recovered faunal remains permit a more detailed understanding of the interaction between humans and their environment. Techniques for the accurate estimation and comparison of age, size and sex parameters of prehistoric deer and raccoon populations are presented. Measurements include ageing by tooth eruption and wear, estimating deer weight based on osteological measurements of the astragalus, and determining raccoon sex based on canine tooth measurements. Combined examination of the age and size parameters of deer over time indicates that the population density and distribution of deer in the Late Prehistoric period was substantially impacted by human activity. This resource depletion is indicated by a decline in the presence of old individuals and an increase in body size in areas surrounding major Mississippian sites. Deer populations appear stable at distance from these sites and maintain the parameters of age and size seen in the Archaic period. An understanding of this variation over space and time is used to interpret the efficiency of various deer hunting techniques. Examination of the distribution of raccoon remains by sex at archaeological sites demonstrates targeted procurement by Late Prehistoric farmers. Intensified procurement of raccoon is revealed by an increased presence of males over time in archaeological samples, a good indication of deliberate trapping. Intensified procurement may relate to a crop protection effort; stable carbon isotope data from the Angel site suggest that raccoon and squirrel may have consumed sufficient quantities of maize to modify their d13C values vi Table of Contents Chapter Subject Page Title page i Acceptance page ii Copyright page iii Dedication iv Acknowledgments v Abstract vi Table of contents vii List of tables viii List of figures ix List of appendices x 1 Introduction to Resource Intensification and Depletion 1 Chronology 3 Previous approaches 5 New directions 11 2 Relative Abundance Measures and Exploitation Intensity 16 Methodology 18 Optimal Modeling 22 Results 30 Discussion 35 3 Prehistoric White-tailed Deer Exploitation 41 White-tailed deer biology and ecology 41 Methods 50 Data 61 Analysis 70 Discussion 83 4 Prehistoric Raccoon Exploitation 86 Raccoon biology and ecology 87 Methods 89 Mortality data, analysis and discussion 100 Sex data, analysis and discussion 104 5 The Effects of Maize Agriculture on Prehistoric Hunting 111 Deer and raccoon hunting 106 Stable carbon isotopes 122 6 Conclusions 125 Bibliography 135 vii List of Tables Table Number Title Page 2.1 USDA nutritional data on wild mammals 24 2.2 Hypothetical ranking of common mammals 24 2.3 MNI/NISP correction factors for mammals 27 2.4 Optimal foraging data converted to NISP ratios 29 2.5 Relative abundance of small, medium, and large mammals 31 2.6 Relative abundance of various species through time 32 2.7 Corrected NISP ratios of key species 33 2.8 Intensity of exploitation of key species through time 34 3.1 Tooth eruption sequence for white-tailed deer 43 3.2 Descriptions of white-tailed deer tooth wear 44 3.3 Key to measurements of the deer astragalus 56 3.4 Equations for estimating missing astragalus measurements 57 3.5 Regressions for correcting astragalus measurements 59 3.6 Sites used in analyses of deer mortality profiles 63 3.7 Mortality profiles of deer from eastern North America 64 3.8 Sites used in analyses of deer size 66 3.9 Descriptive statistics on male astragalus measurements 67 3.10 Descriptive statistics on female astragalus measurements 68 3.11 Deer body weight from corrected measurements 69 3.12 Deer body weight from individuals in this study 69 3.13 Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests on deer mortality profiles 70 3.14 Percentage representation of age classes by culture-period 70 3.15 Mean weight of deer by culture period 73 3.16 PEL age classes for sites sorted by male body weight 75 3.17 Mortality profiles and size for 18 sites in this study 76 3.18 Means and SDs of male and female deer weight, this study 80 4.1 Wear stages proposed by Grau et al.

  • The Impact of Chronic Violence in the Mississippian Period Central Illinois
    CHAPTER 43 ....................................... .......................................................... LIVING WITH WAR: THE IMPACT OF CHRONIC VIOLENCE IN THE MISSISSIPPIAN-PERI 0 D CENTRAL ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY GREGORY D. WILSON THE Central Illinois River Valley (CIRV) of west-central Illinois has a complex Jistory of migration and culture contact that was strongly affected by violence (Conrad 1991; Esarey and Conrad 1998; Milner et al. 1991; Steadman 2001). Located on the northern periphery of the Mississippian cultural area, the CIRV has the totential to transform our understanding of the impact and outcomes of inter­ group violence in middle-range societies (Figures 43.1 and 43.2). In this chapter, I argue that changing patterns of violence substantially altered the lives of those who lived in this region. To make my case I discuss archaeological patterns of violence from four different periods of the late Prehistoric era: the terminal late Woodland period (AD 700 to noo), the early Mississippian period (AD noo to 1250), the middle Mississippian Period (AD 1250 to 1300 ), and the late Mississippian period (AD 1300 to 1440). MIDSOUTH AND SOUTHEAST I' Figure 43.1 Locations of regions discussed in text: CIRV, Central Illinois River Valley; LIRV, Lower Illinois River Valley; AB, American Bottom. LATE WOODLAND PERIOD The Late Woodland period was an era of intensifying hostilities across much of eastern North America (Cobb and Garrow 1996; Little 1999; Milner 2007). Inter­ group conflict ensued from adoption of a more sedentary way of life based on plant cultivation, associated population increases, and use of new military and huntiJ11 technologies such as the bow and arrow (Blitz 1988; Milner 1999:122, 2007).

  • The Social Costs of War: Investigating the Relationship Between Warfare And
    The Social Costs of War: Investigating the Relationship between Warfare and Intragroup Violence during the Mississippian Period of the Central Illinois Valley by Mallorie Ann Hatch A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved July 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Jane Buikstra, Chair Katherine Spielmann Christopher Carr George Milner ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2015 ABSTRACT War exacts a great social cost, not only upon its direct participants, but also upon the lives of the friends, family, and community of those who experience it. This cost is particularly evident in the increased frequencies of aggressive behaviors, including homicide, assault, and domestic violence, enacted by Western military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Similarly, among contemporary non-Westernized peoples, a cross-cultural conducted by Ember and Ember (1994) found a relationship between war and various forms of intragroup violence, including domestic violence, assaults, homicides, and violent sports. It is unknown, however, if this positive association between warfare and intragroup violence extends longitudinally for prehistoric populations uninfluenced by modern states. To test Ember and Ember’s (1994) results in an archaeological culture, this study examines whether or not an association between war and intragroup violence was present during the Mississippian Period (ca. AD 1000-1450) of the Central Illinois Valley (CIV). The Mississippian Period of the CIV represents an ideal context for examining war and violence questions, as considerable evidence of war and violence has been amassed from archaeological and bioarchaeological analyses. High rates of skeletal trauma, fortification construction, and the placement of habitations sites in defendable areas indicate war was of particular concern during this period.

  • Violence in the Midcontinent: a Comparative Analysis of Oneota Interactions with Mississippian and Central Plains Populations
    VIOLENCE IN THE MIDCONTINENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ONEOTA INTERACTIONS WITH MISSISSIPPIAN AND CENTRAL PLAINS POPULATIONS by Eric Daniel Roger Nordstrom Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Archaeology and Anthropology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Eric D.R. Nordstrom All Rights Reserved ii VIOLENCE IN THE MIDCONTINENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ONEOTA INTERACTIONS WITH MISSISSIPPIAN AND CENTRAL PLAINS POPULATIONS Eric D.R. Nordstrom, B.A. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, 2016 Oneota is a name given to groups of Native Americans with a shared material culture originating in the upper Midwest around AD 900. Within a few hundred years, objects representing Oneota culture extended from Indiana to Kansas and from Missouri to Canada. This expansion led Oneota peoples to come into contact with Mississippian groups in the Central Illinois River Valley, and up to a few centuries later, with Central Plains populations in Nebraska, an area with less evidence for prehistoric violence than in the Mississippi River valleys where the Oneota developed. This thesis examines direct and indirect evidence of prehistoric violence from archaeological sites in Illinois and Nebraska that show evidence of intergroup conflict and habitation by Oneota, Mississippian, or Central Plains populations, or some combination thereof. Differences in political systems as well as subsistence and settlement practices may have contributed to varying incidence of violence between cultural groups in these areas. iii I would first like to thank Dr. Heather Walder for her direction and encouragement throughout the process of researching and writing this thesis, and for her comments on how to make it better.
