Red pigment in the Central Plains
James Murie, early twentieth century ethnographer and member of the Pawnee Nation, once wrote that the "things that are most acceptable to the Pawnee gods are smoke, fat, paint, and flesh" (Murie 1981:466). Here we describe red paint at Kitkahahki Town, a late eighteenth–early nineteenth-century Kitkahahki Pawnee village in north-central Kansas. Using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, we compare a…
Early Maize ( Zea mays ) in the North American Central Plains
Artifacts, including ceramics, ground stone, and soil samples, as well as dental calculus, recovered from sites in the eastern North American central Plains were submitted to multiple laboratories for analysis of microbotanical remains. Direct accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) dates of 361–197 cal BC provide evidence for the earliest use of maize ( Zea mays ssp. mays ) in this region. Squash ( Cucurbita sp.), wild rice (cf. Zizania spp.), and p…
Tree-Ring-Radiocarbon Dating at a Late Contact Period Kitkahahki Pawnee Site on the Central Great Plains, Usa
This study obtained calendar dates by radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry ( 14 C AMS) dating sequential tree-rings of wooden support posts from the buried remains of traditional Kitkahahki Pawnee earthlodges preserved at an archaeological site on the Central Great Plains, USA. The tree-ring segments from the site were dendrochronologically analyzed prior to this study, but the cross-matched site chronology could not be definitively cross-da…
Modeling Kansas City Hopewell Developments and Regional Social Interactions
In the 1950s, the Kansas City Hopewell (KCH) was modeled as a phenomenon originating from a migration of people or diffusion of ideas from Middle Woodland Hopewell communities in Illinois, a model that greatly influenced subsequent research. Two lines of evidence were instrumental in the formation of this model: ceramics and chronology. This study presents the results of 24 newly obtained accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates associated with …

A Hard Time to Date
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Puebloan women (if not entire families) were incorporated into Apache Dismal River communities in western Kansas. In at least one site (14SC1), Puebloan people lived in a small masonry pueblo. We evaluate the timing and nature of the Puebloan occupation at 14SC1 and its relationship to the Dismal River population at the site. We use a Bayesian analytical framework to evaluate different models of th…

Refining Plains Woodland Chronology
Twenty-three AMS age determinations, obtained from annual plant remains and ceramic residues, are presented as a guide in addressing potential changes to the chronology of the central Plains Woodland period. When compared to older conventional wood charcoal dates, these new AMS dates demonstrate the need to critically evaluate existing temporal ranges of several Woodland cultures. In particular, the new dates help fill in temporal gaps in our und…
Additional AMS Radiocarbon Age Determinations for the Central Plains Tradition
We report an additional 15 AMS age determinations on annual plants or ceramic residue from eight Central Plains tradition sites in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Age determinations are presented and problems with dating ceramic residue are discussed
Interpreting AMS Radiocarbon Age Determinations from Selected Central Plains Tradition Sites
We report 45 newly-obtained dates for selected Central Plains tradition sites. Of these, 39 dates are from sites assigned to the Smoky Hill phase of central and north-central Kansas; the other six are from sites assigned to the Steed-Kisker phase or south end of the Nebraska phase. All dates were assayed by AMS dating, and all were run on annual plants or residue from ceramics. Before assessing the chronology as reflected by these dates, we consi…

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…
Prehistoric and Historic Cultural Resources of Selected Sites at Harlan County Lake, Harlan County, Nebraska
Cultural affiliations of the tested sites included a possible Paleo Indian component, Keith variant, Plains Woodland, upper Republican, protohistoric Apache, Dismal River and historic occupations. While several sites were recommended for National Register inclusion, the report presents additional information pertinent to Central Plains prehistory. Such topics include a summary of past climate episode supplemented with recent geomorphic, palynolog…
