Perspectives
Psychic Archaeology
In contemporary society the growth of mystical, occult religious cults is providing the public with new interpretations about prehistory, human evolution, and ancient civilizations. One spiritualistic search for the human past is named psychic archaeology and it preaches the gospel that traditional field archaeology is limited, obsolete, and largely useless because it has not been getting the right answers about antiquity. The doctrine continues …

Reconstructing The Longhouse Village Settlement Patterns
The Grant Oneota village (13AM201) in northeast Iowa dates from the 11th century A. D., and shows post patterns of huge oval-ended longhouses averaging 25 feet wide and 60 to 90 feet long. A review of ethnohistorical accounts shows comparable long houses were in use among Siouan-speaking tribes on both the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. A series of previously unpublished drawings have been prepared which reconstruct the long house village settl…

No new information would be gained by such a conversion. A simpler alternative is proposed to take care of the minor discrepancy of alphabetical additions; this system would also keep the existing system intact
Ancient Indians of Iowa
Conflicts, migrations, and economic changes mark the sequence of events during the thousands of years of Indian development in Iowa.It is a complicated story and much of it remains buried in the ground waiting to be uncovered by the arche ologist's trowel and screen.Viewed broadly, the details of life in these ancient times can be grouped into some general developments or turning points in the archeological record.In some situations the introduct…
Discovering the Hartley Fort
Discovering The Hartley Fort Successful discoveries are not just a matter of chance. Archeologists plan carefully ahead and choose sites with care. There is often a good rea son for selecting one site instead of another. It is very expensive to field a crew for five or six weeks at a single site and it is the archeologist's responsi bility to see that the money is well spent. By mon ey well spent, the explorations must add measur ably to the know…
