Ceramics and Glass Beads as Symbolic Mixed Media in Colonial Native North America
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Native Americans rarely adorned ceramic objects with glass beads, despite the millions of beads introduced by Europeans through trade. Bead-decorated ceramics have been reported from only nine sites in North America, perhaps due to a tendency for archaeologists to overlook or misclassify bead-inlaid pottery. The 40 artifacts represent widely divergent ethnic groups separated from each other culturally, as well …
I Have Been to the Country Above
Multiple lines of archaeological evidence reveal a previously undocumented cluster of interrelated Indigenous revitalization movements that occurred across southeastern North America late in the tumultuous sixteenth century, around AD 1590. Near synchronous appearances of novel forms of public architecture, personal adornment, and utilitarian pottery reflect dramatic shifts in Native worldviews throughout the region. In particular, the revival an…
History and Hydrology
Local lore has long identified an entrenched feature crossing Fort Morgan peninsula on Alabama’s Gulf of Mexico coast (USA) as an ancient canoe canal, a folk identification now confirmed by archival, artifactual, geochronological, geoarchaeological, and hydrological evidence. A 1.39 km canal (site 1BA709) linked two estuaries, Oyster Bay and Little Lagoon, connecting Mobile Bay to the Gulf of Mexico late in the Middle Woodland period, ca. a.d. 60…
Temporality of fishery taskscapes on the north-central Gulf of Mexico coast (USA) during the Middle/Late Woodland period (AD 325-1040)
This study examines the timing, tempo, and logic of fishery taskscapes at two Woodland villages (ca. AD 325–1040) on the north-central coast of the Gulf of Mexico (USA). A multi-proxy combination of zooarchaeological attributions, light stable isotope analyses, and related approaches reveals cyclical aspects of the temporality of taskscapes at these two non-farming communities, identifying which resources were collected when and where. Awareness …
Woodland-period fisheries on the north-central coast of the Gulf of Mexico
Despite the prevalence of Woodland-period middens on the Gulf of Mexico’s northern coast, Woodland fisheries remain poorly known. Vertebrate and invertebrate assemblages from Plash Island (1BA134; cal AD 325–640) and Bayou St. John (1BA21; cal AD 650–1040) suggest this period was more than a prelude to Mississippian farming. Much of the coastal Woodland economy centered on reliable, productive estuarine resources, particularly molluscs and fishes…
Bears
Thanks to Irving Hallowell’s classic 1926 comparative ethnography on the special mythic status of bears in Subarctic cultures, anthropologists are generally aware that peoples throughout the northern hemisphere have treated bears as far more than a subsistence resource, something more akin to another kind of human or, to use Hallowell’s famous phrase, “other-than-human persons.” While Hallowell provided ample evidence of bear ceremonialism in nor…

A seventeenth-century trade gun and associated collection from Pine Island, Alabama
A set of artifacts, apparently associated with human remains (one tooth), from Pine Island, Alabama, was donated to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in 1915. In preparation for repatriation, this collection was investigated extensively by a volunteer team. This paper reports the results of this analysis, focusing especially on a new type of trade gun and the glass beads. The goal of the research is to provide an accurate date for the co…
Shellfish Gathering and Shell Midden Archaeology Revisited
Thirty years ago, archaeologists were engaged in a spirited debate about the importance of maritime adaptations in human prehistory. Waselkov's (1987) synthesis of shell midden archaeology was a key component of this debate, including his (1982) work at White Oak Point (44WM119), Virginia. 44WM119 is a massive shell midden with the earliest definitive human use of coastal resources on the Chesapeake Bay (∼4,900 years ago) and nearly continuous oc…

William Bartram traveled throughout the American from 1773 to 1776. He occupies a unique place as an American Enlightenment explorer, naturalist, writer, and artist whose work was widely admired in his time and thereafter. Coleridge, the Wordsworths, and other leading romantics found inspiration in his pages. Bartram's most famous work, Travels has remained in print since the first publication of the book in 1791. However, his writings on Indians…

Frontiers and Archaeology
Although traditionally characterized by a host of diverse criteria, frontier is defined here as a transitional area, a zone of mixture and interaction, where societies meet in active competition. Recent archaeological studies have attempted to develop models of frontier adaptation, but most are incomplete because of their failure to consider the interrelationships of both intrusive and indigenous cultures. The archaeological implications of our f…

Fort Toulouse
Situated at the head of the Alabama River system--at the juncture of the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers--Fort Toulouse in 1717 was planned to keep the local Indians neutral, if not loyal, to the French and contain the British in their southernmost Atlantic colonies. Both a diplomatic post and a military post. In addition to discussing geopolitical and military affairs and diplomatic relation with Indian chiefs, Thomas describes daily life at the pos…

figurines from the Middle Neolithic may have served as economic contracts or identifying tokens. She does not take up the currently widely-held view that the figurines represent deities in some Old European religion or fertility cult. In a useful final chapter she looks at the finds in regional perspective, listing and illustrating all the known finds from southern Greece. This forms a very convenient compendium of an important body of material. …
