Artifact database from 32MO0296-0306-1374-1375. The database contain the lot books from 32MO296, 32MO306, 32MO1374, and 32MO1375, as well as the inventory and photo log for all four sites. All flakes from all four sites are pulled together in a table, as well as all flakes from all four sites greater than 2 mm. An additional table of all artifacts from all four sites that are greater than 2 mm is also included. All artifacts and photos are currently housed at GLARC.
Archaeological Sites, Northern Plains, Morton County, North Dakota
In 2005, GLARC conducted archaeological data recovery operations at sites 32MO296, 32MO306, 32MO1374, and 32MO1375 located in Morton County, North Dakota. The sites define short term prehistoric Native American resource extraction sites and campsites that date to the Early to Middle Plains Archaic, Late Plains Archaic, Early Plains Woodland, Middle Plains Woodland, and Late Plains Woodland periods. The archaeological data recovery operations involved a program of systematic surface collection,...
The Bozovich Family Archaeological Collection (1996)
The Bozovich family archaeological collection contains over 5,000 surface-collected artifacts from 712 sites in southwestern Wyoming during the period between 1932 and 1992. All the artifacts were cataloged with their own catalog number . Data were then entered into an IBM-PC computer using the Dbase III (r) software program. Specific objectives were to: 1. Place all artifacts into approximate archaeological time periods. 2. Make sets of tables for various time periods on: artifact types;...
Bull Creek: A Paleoindian Camp in the Oklahoma Panhandle (2017)
Bull Creek is one of a handful of Paleoindian camps, which has survived the taphonomic consequences of time. In this presentation we will discuss our current understanding of the site and it’s inhabitants. The topics discussed include environmental reconstruction and the broader use and reuse of the surrounding region by Paleoindian people. Snapshots of butchering techniques have been captured at Bull Creek as well as differential seasonal use of the site. After the third season of excavation...
Cultural Resources Mitigation at 32MO0296, 32MO0306, 32MO1374, and 32MO1375, Morton County, North Dakota (2006)
In the fall of 2005, GLARC conducted archaeological data recovery operations at sites 32MO296, 32MO306, 32MO1374, and 32MO1375 located in Morton county, North Dakota. The sites defi ne short term prehistoric Native American resource extraction sites and campsites that date to the Early to Middle Plains Archaic, Late Plains Archaic, Early Plains Woodland, Middle Plains Woodland, and Late Plains Woodland periods. Previous investigations at 32MO296, 32MO306, 32MO1374, and 32MO1375 determined that...
Eastern New Mexico University Archaeological Collections (2016)
Home of the Clovis type-site and the Blackwater Draw Museum, as well as the Agency for Conservation Archaeology, Eastern New Mexico University serves as a repository for varied collections from within the state of New Mexico and from farther afield. Numerous well-known and respected archaeologists have held positions at the university and conducted fieldwork in the region, leaving their archaeological materials in trust. Additionally, the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers...
An Examination of Pocket Gopher Use at the Woodland Period Rainbow Site (13PM91), Iowa (2016)
The Rainbow site (13PM91) is a multi-component Woodland site situated within the tallgrass prairie of northwest Iowa. Excavated in the late 1970’s, the site remains one of few examples within the region for Woodland period habitation sites with substantial recovered faunal collections. The current study focuses on the seemingly unusual concentration of pocket gophers (Geomys bursarius) found within Cultural Horizon C (~1400-1370 BP). Recent reanalysis of the faunal assemblage reveals a presence...
Exploring Prehistoric Resource Distribution in the Black Mesa Region: A Plains- Montane Ecotone in Cimarron County, Oklahoma (2015)
The Black Mesa region of Oklahoma is located in northwestern Cimarron County, and constitutes the edge of the Chaquaqua Plateau. It is the easternmost finger of Colorado's Mesa de Maya. Situated along Oklahoma's western border, Black Mesa is the highest and largest in a system of mesas and valleys that extend westward to merge with the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The relief of this landscape is exaggerated by its juxtaposition with the high plains to the north, south, and east – it is thus...
Horse Warriors and Warrior Horses (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Survey in the Rio Grande Gorge of New Mexico over the past decade has revealed a robust corpus of Plains Biographic rock art depicting the coups and accomplishments of human warriors. While horses are equally present, most of them are secondary to the narratives depicted and appear as ridden mounts or captured wealth. However, an...
Occupation Lengths in Middle Missouri Sites (2015)
Collections and reports from Middle Missouri salvage archaeology, conducted primarily in the 1950s, hold a wealth of information about Plains Village farming communities, much of which is still being studied. In this paper, I provide a basis for the assessment of occupation lengths in the Middle Missouri utilizing data culled from site reports on several Middle Missouri sites, spanning time and space. This study utilizes evidence of repair of housing structures, overlapping storage pits, and...
Resistance, Resilience, and Blackfoot Horse Culture from the Reservation Period to the Present (2018)
Programs of forced settlement and assimilation were responsible for the loss of many aspects of traditional Blackfoot lifeways. At the same time, however, they also strengthened the identity of the Blackfoot people as they resisted absorption into Euroamerican culture. This resistance through adaptation is seen in the Blackfoot people’s continued use of and adoration for horses. While many elements of nomadic Blackfoot culture were abandoned in the late nineteenth century with the near...
Ruthann, the Leader-Hearted Woman - inawa’sioskitsipaki (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Paleo Lithics to Legacy Management: Ruthann Knudson—Inawa’sioskitsipaki" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Blackfoot, in whose territories Ruthann Knudson worked, recognize some women as inawa’sioskitsipaki, a “leader-hearted woman.” Such a woman is strong, intelligent, highly moral, outstandingly capable in the tasks she carries out, kind, and generous. She is deeply respected and listened to. Oscar Lewis, in a...
Technological Variability in Woodland and Plains Village Period Ceramics from Central and Eastern North Dakota (2015)
This paper explores technological variability in Woodland and Plains Village period ceramics from central and eastern North Dakota. Research objectives include 1) assessing compositional variability within Woodland period assemblages, 2) establishing whether or not ceramics could have been produced from local "clays," 3) exploring continuity in pastes from Woodland period to later Plains Village pottery, and 4) comparing Devils Lake "clays" to materials from the Missouri River drainage. This...
