Olive Jar Ceramics from the Eagle Ridge Site (25sy116) in Eastern Nebraska: Booty from the Villasur Expedition
The battle between the Spanish and French and their native allies figured on the Segesser hide paintings contributed to ending the eastward expansion of Spanish exploration in North America. While the battle that took place somewhere near the confluence of the Loup and Platte Rivers on August 14, 1720 is illustrated on contemporary buffalo hide paintings and described in contemporary documents there has been no physical evidence precisely where t…
Faunal Remains
The Sidney Burial: A Middle Plains Archaic Mortuary Site from Western Nebraska
The remains of a Middle Archaic (radiocarbon dated to 2288 - 2466 B. C.) young adult male and an infant of indeterminate sex were discovered eroding from a road cut near Sidney, Nebraska, and excavated. Associated cultural materials included amazonite pendants that suggest trade routes and (along with fragments of a perforated turtle carapace) represent the earliest regional examples of ornamentation in direct association with a burial. The funer…
Microevolution and the Skeletal Traits of a Middle Archaic Burial: Metric and Multivariate Comparison to Paleoindians and Modern Amerindians
Skeletal remains recovered and analyzed from Archaic and Paleoindian periods demonstrate less pronounced Asiatic/Sinodont features that distinguish them from present day Amerindians. This paper describes the metric and nonmetric traits that link a Middle Plains Archaic male (radiocarbon dated to 2220-2500 B. C.), found near Sidney, Nebraska, to Sinodonts, Sundadonts, and Paleoindians. Metrically, the Sidney male differs from Late Prehistoric and …
Culture, Environment, and Bison Populations on the Late Prehistoric and Early Historic Central Plains
A close and persistent association between bison and Central Plains Native Americans is a firmly entrenched image in archaeological and historical thought. However, this model is overr, generalized. To test the model, unmodified bison bone density (identified specimens/excavated m3) and sample diversity were measured for a series of semisedentary villages occupied between AD 1 and 1850. The results suggest: (1) Woodland tradition (AD 1-1000) biso…
A Review of Middle Woodland Archaeology in Nebraska
Middle Woodland is the term applied to most cultural complexes which flourished in the Central Plains from 100 BC to AD 500. Related taxa persisted in the west Central Plains until AD 1100. The period is characterized by the first pottery manufactured in the region as well as agricultural experimentation and increased sedentism. This paper provides a descriptive overview of Middle Woodland settlement/subsistence practices, burial customs, and mat…

Source Determination of White River Group Silicates from Two Archaeological Sites in the Great Plains
High-quality cryptocrystalline silicates from the Oligocene-age White River Group of the central Great Plains (referred to here as White River Group Silicates [WRGS]) were widely used prehistorically for chipped-stone tools. There are three known source areas for WRGS: Flattop Butte in northeastern Colorado, Table Mountain in east central Wyoming, and the White River Badlands of South Dakota. Specimens from these sources are often visually indist…
Fauna from the Hulme Site and Comments on Central Plains Tradition. Subsistence Variability
The Hulme site is a Central Plains tradition (Upper Republican phase) homestead on the upland divide between the Platte and Loup River basins in Central Nebraska. The identified vertebrate sample varies from those recovered at similar sites inthat it contains a high proportion of pronghorn antelope and deer with only a small fraction assigned to bison. The balanceis a diverse collection of fish, reptile, bird, and small mammal remains. The sample…
Changes in The role Of the Dog in Protohistoric-historic Pawnee culture
One aspect of Plains Native American acculturation in response to European expansion not considered in detail by anthropologists is the effect upon the domestic dog. This paper considers the Pawnee case and describes modifications made to the dog culture during the turbulent post-contact period. Using ethnohistorical and archaeological information, the study demonstrates that, prior to the introduction of the horse (circa 1700), the Pawnee posses…
