A Contextual Analysis of Nineteenth-Century Indian Burial Artifacts on the Southern Plains (1998)

DOCUMENT Full-Text William Edward Walsh.

This thesis contends that the relative Uniformity of the funerary material culture described as the “Southern Plains Equestrian Nomad Archaeological Complex” (Shafer et al 1994:322-323) is a consequence of an increasing emphasis place by the Southern Plains tribes of the nineteenth century on the similarities underpinning their cultures The reasons given for this sense of accentuated commonality are: 1) a pre-existing undercurrent of shamanistic beliefs and world view shared by these tribes; 2)...

Crafting Culture at Fort St. Joseph: An Archaeological Investigation of Labor Organization on the Colonial Frontier (2005)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Brock Giordano.

The study of labor organization through the examination of craft production in complex societies has been a topic of intense scholarly interest (Blackman et al. 1993; Costin and Hagstrum 1995; Shafer and Hester 1991). A number of scholars have hypothesized that goods produced in mass quantities by particular specialists can be recognized by their high degree of standardization or homogeneity (Blackman et al. 1993:61; Schiffer and Skibo 1997). As such, this study employs the theoretical framework...

Culture Contact and Subsistence Change at Fusihatchee (1EE191) (2001)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman.

Archaeological evidence from Colonial period Native American sites in southeastern North America document dramatic changes in many aspects of Native American life.

However, few zooarchaeological assemblages from sites with both precolonial and colonial occupations have been studied. The pre-Creek and Creek site of...
