An Elemental Analysis of Copper from the Mound City Group
The sourcing of exotic raw materials provides a window into the social networks of ancient peoples. Here we source copper from four archaeological contexts at the Mound City Group, a UNESCO World Heritage site and major Hopewell ceremonial site in south-central Ohio, USA. Results of laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry indicate the use of copper at Mound City from both the Great Lakes Copper District and the southern Appala…
The Benefit of the Gift: Social Organization and Expanding Networks of Interaction in the Western Great Lakes Archaic
Archaeological data from the Late Archaic (4000-2000 years ago) in the Western Great Lakes are analyzed to understand the production and movement of copper and lithic exchange materials. Also considered in this volume are access to and benefits from exchange networks, as well as social changes accompanying the development of extensive, continental scale, exchange systems of interaction in this period
Social network analysis and the social interactions that define Hopewell
Between approximately AD 1 and AD 400, the Scioto Valley of central Ohio was the core of a major American Indian phenomena known as Ohio Hopewell. The communities that made up this phenomenon constructed elaborate mounded landscapes, participated in continental social networks that brought exotic materials from the Great Lakes, the Gulf Coast, the Appalachians, and the Rocky Mountains to the Ohio Valley. Scales of participation range from the hou…
Comparison of different sets of external standards for the LA-ICP-MS analysis of North American copper artifacts
Elemental analysis of Late Archaic copper from the McQueen Shell Ring, St. Catherine's Island, Georgia
Copper as an essential and exotic Hopewell metal
Great Lakes Copper and Shared Mortuary Practices on the Atlantic Coast: Implications for Long-Distance Exchange during the Late Archaic
Analysis of human remains and a copper band found in the center of a Late Archaic (ca. 5000-3000 cal BP) shell ring demonstrate an exchange network between the Great Lakes and the coastal southeast United States. Similarities in mortuary practices suggest that the movement of objects between these two regions was more direct and unmediated than archaeologists previously assumed based on 'down-the-line' models of exchange. These findings challenge…
An empirical evaluation of copper procurement and distribution: Elemental analysis of Scioto Valley Hopewell copper
Assessing the provenance of Poverty Point copper through LA-ICP-MS compositional analysis
Tracing Social Interaction: Perspectives on Archaic Copper Exchange from the Upper Great Lakes
Compositional analysis of copper is used to explore interaction between the Late Archaic occupants of the Northern Lakes region and their contemporaries in eastern and east-central Wisconsin. Copper artifacts from Burnt Rollways phase sites in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula are compared with the Middle Archaic Reigh and Late Archaic Riverside sites. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis of copper demonst…
The Duck Lake Site and Implications for Late Archaic Copper Procurement and Production in the Southern Lake Superior Basin
Few sites relating to Archaic procurement of copper have been archaeologically investigated in the southern part of the Lake Superior basin. The Duck Lake site, located in the Ontonagon River watershed of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, is within the source area for native copper. Investigations at this site reveal a field camp consisting of one or more occupations by Late Archaic groups. Lithic analysis demonstrates a strong reliance on non-local ra…
