The best laid plans
Systematic, fine-grained data recovery and spatial analysis facilitate interpretation of household assemblage formation and abandonment at two late prehistoric (AD 1000–1500) lodges in the Central Plains: the Scott and Phil sites in northeastern and north-central Kansas, respectively. This is based on patterns in lodge design, construction, storage, and domestic activities inferred from the distribution of burned wood, burned stone, daub, ceramic…
Late Woodland feasting and social networks in the lower Missouri River region
Feasting and its function among small scale societies have received little attention among many descriptive and theoretical studies of this activity. Evidence of feasting focused on large roasting pits by Late Woodland (AD 500–1000) hunter-gatherer-gardeners in the lower Missouri River region on the eastern edge of the Great Plains is presented. Two features at the Quixote site and lipid analyses of stones from them attest single events focused o…
Obituary Patricia J. O’Brien
Caddoan Archaeology on the High Plains
The interpretations of the Wallace site offered by Huffman and Earley are invalid. The site is not Upper Republican in affiliation, the structural remains in it do not support the interpretations made, and the proposed correspondences to Pawnee cosmology are based on unjustified assumptions
Frontier Life
Late Prehistoric (AD 900–1500) adaptations along the lower Missouri River in the Kansas City locality include two distinct contemporaneous archaeological cultures, Steed-Kisker and Pomona. Both are reviewed with emphasis on interaction, change, and continuity. Evidence from other sites in northeastern Kansas, a prairie-woodland ecotone, points to interaction where their culture core areas overlapped, a locality that was a frontier throughout much…
A Matter of Time
Sites of the Central Plains and Oneota traditions in the Lovewell Reservoir locality, north-central Kansas, provide radiocarbon dates critical to the problem of relations between these Late Prehistoric cultures. Statistical tests of dates from eight sites of that period suggest late thirteenth century occupation by both traditions, and perhaps a third. Despite temporal and geographic proximity, there is no clear archaeological evidence of interac…
A Late Prehistoric Bison Processing Camp in the Central Plains
Bison utilization during the Late Prehistoric period in the central Plains varied from the diffuse pattern that characterizes the Central Plains tradition to the focal pattern of the westernmost Oneota. Both patterns are represented at sites in the Lovewell locality on White Rock Creek, a tributary of the lower Republican River in north-central Kansas. Intensive bison exploitation is also represented at the Montana Creek East (14JW46) site within…
Western Oneota Obsidian
Exotic lithic raw materials provide insight into exchange relations and mobility of prehistoric populations. Toward this end, obsidian flakes from two western Oneota sites, Warne in north central Kansas and Blood Run in northwestern Iowa, were sourced using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. With the exception of two artifacts from Warne, all were traced to parent obsidian sources in the northwestern Plains and Plateau regions. Obsidian pieces from…
Spatial Analysis of Small Scale Debris from a Late Prehistoric Site in the Lower Missouri Valley, Kansas
Late Prehistoric habitation structures in the Great Plains of North America are frequently recognized from postmold patterns and associated features, such as hearths and storage pits. At sites that lack such indicators, some archaeologists have either failed to discern domestic structures or have mistakenly attributed them to other, non-habitation functions. In the absence of more conventional house remains, the spatial analysis of small scale de…
Late Prehistoric Oneota Population Movement into the Central Plains
The White Rock phase is an intrusive Late Prehistoric archaeological complex in the central Plains. It shows clear ties to the Oneota tradition of the upper Midwest. Population movement best explains the presence of this Oneota complex in the Plains. Interpretations of seasonal mobility or migration are evaluated through analysis of White Rock phase assemblages. Evidence for gardening and lithic material use patterns suggest permanent or year-rou…

The Fat of the Land
A focal bison hunting economy is evident for the White Rock phase, a Late Prehistoric Oneota culture of the Central Plains. This adaptation contrasts with the more generalized animalprocurement of the preceding Central Plains tradition and is similar to that of regional protohistoric cultures, such as the Lower Loup phase. Faunal remains from the White Rock site (14JW I), including those from a bone grease production feature, support this interpr…

The Richland Crematorium
Archaeological test excavations at the Richland site (14SH101) in the Watarusa River valley, north-eastern Kansas, revealed a portion of a crematorium at this habitation of the Plains Woodland period. Analysis of the feature within ts intrasite and regional contexts prowdes new evidence of mortuary practices for that period in the Central Plains. Radiocarbon dates from the feature also add to the small sample of absolute dates for this period in …

Lithic Resources, Terrain Variation And Prehistoric Site Distribution In The Kansas City Locality
Variation in the distribution of prehistoric sites within a major tributary watershed of the lower Kansas River is seen to reflect a variety of environmental variables. These include the distribution of preferred chert resources, the contrast in drainage efficiency between the principal stream valley and the valleys of its tributaries, and the differential effects of fluvial processes on the preservation or erosion of alluvial terraces. Compariso…
Archaeological Investigations in the Clinton Lake Project Area, Northeastern Kansas, National Register Evaluation of 27 Prehistoric Sites
This report describes archaeological investigations at 27 prehistoric sites in the Clinton Lake Project Area, Douglas and Shawnee Counties, Kansas. The investigations were undertaken in order to determine the eligibility of the sites for the National Register of Historic Places. The results of the field and laboratory procedures have resulted in the following conclusions: The sites span at least the last 2000 to 3000 years of human history in the…
The Ghost Dance among the Paiute
Historical evidence concerning the Ghost Dance of 1889 among the Paiute is presented. The evidence contrasts with that presented by Mooney (1896) for the Sioux. It is suggested that that contrast can be explained by the differing acculturation processes these groups experienced. In particular it is suggested that the role of Jack Wilson, the Ghost Dance Prophet, as a charismatic leader was the primary factor in the adoption of this religion by th…
