Volume III of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series analyzes prehistoric mortuary practice in the Midwest Region of North America. The database consists of 32,998 individuals from 1,304 burial sites and covers the period from approximately 9000 B. P. until A. D. 1500. The region by now comprised of the following states: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The provinces are analyzed individually by prehistoric period, then the analysis is followed by...

Volume IV of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of specific mortuary behaviors and characteristics utilized by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southeast Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures"...

Mortuary Practice Among Prehistoric North Americans: Plains Region, is Volume II of the five volume set entitled PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES. Twelve years of research that covered North America between the Rockies and the Appalachians provided a comprehensive multi-regional database consisting of 97,821 deceased individuals from 3,678 prehistoric burial sites. From that database I formulated a Plains region database consisting of 13,104 deceased individuals from 1,229 burial sites within Montana,...

Volume I of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of mortuary behaviors by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southwest Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits and characteristics because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures" used to distinguish...

Large portions of the world once were occupied by human populations subsisting by hunting, fishing and the gathering of wild plants. Archeologists have long been interested in understanding and explaining the life ways of these prehistoric populations. Human cultural evolution having proceeded as it did, almost no written records exist that report on human populations pursuing such a way of life in deciduous and boreal forestlands exist. This is unfortunate for ethnographic analogy, when...

Preliminary analysis of archaeological survey data indicates that prehistoric land use of coastal southern New England (represented by outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts) was year-round and more diverse than has been suggested by the traditional emphasis on coastal shell middens. Prehistoric settlement seems to have been concentrated mainly in a few locations with large intervening unsettled areas. A stratified random sampling strategy allowed estimates of the relative frequency of different kinds...

Report Abstract: This report presents the results of a preliminary archeological reconnaissance conducted at the Naval Ordnance Station on Cornwallis Neck, Indian Head, Charles County, Maryland. The survey resulted in the discovery of 45 archeological sites, ranging in time from the Early Archaic through to the Late Woodland/Contact period. In addition to these periods, three sites dated to the 19th Century and one to the 19th/20th Century . Testing was also conducted at 18CH71, a site that...

PROJECT Navy.

This project represents the results of a preliminary survey the Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head, Maryland undertaken by Bill Barse in 1985. Collections from the survey include artifacts from 40 identified sites and five different non-site areas surveyed. Records include the technical report and a few field records that were later scanned for inclusion as an appendix in a subsequent project report (MHT Report CH 83). Collections are curated at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation...

Though concerned agencies and archaeologists throughout the state were previously informed Ball State officials did not learn until the spring of 1975 that an appropriation of $25,000.00, proposed by State Representative Loren E. Winger, Converse, Indiana, for Ball State University to conduct research under the jurisdiction of the Indiana State Department of Natural Resources along the Mississinewa River in Grant and Wabash counties was being considered by the state legislature. The purpose of...

Excavations conducted by the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project (OBAP) in 1987, 1988, and 1994 have recovered a relatively large and well-preserved faunal assemblage. This report presents the results of a preliminary study ofthe animal bone from these excavations. In the first part of analysis, an overview of the taxonomic composition of the OBAP assemblage is provided and the diversity and proportional distribution of identified fauna are described. More in-depth analyses of intra- and intersite...

This ethnographic study of the John Wesley Powell National Conservation Area (JWPNCA) was undertaken to provide ethnographic documentation and a history of Euro-American settlement and ranching activities within the JWPNCA and vicinity, to collect GIS data on ranching-related structures and other resources within the area, and to identify areas with an elevated potential for archaeological deposits or places that may meet eligibility requirements for Traditional Cultural Properties...

During the post-Chacoan period (A.D. I 175- 1225) the first aggregated sites in the Zuni Region of the American Southwest were built. This research examines a shift in regional settlement patterns and the reorganization of sociopolitical systems during this initial period of aggregation in the lower Zuni River region. A chronology for the post-Chacoan settlements in the case study area is built using ceramic type data. The results suggest that the process of aggregation in the Zuni region can...
