Classic Vernal Style Necklaced Anthropomorphs
Angara Style Rock Art
Rebutting previous claims, the paper employs comparative stylistic analysis and palaeoenvironmental data to argue that Angara style rock art originated in the Mongolian Altai during the Upper Palaeolithic (13,000–10,300 bp) where it evolved in situ. Around 8200–7300 bp, drought forced the hunter-gatherers who created Angara style rock art to migrate to the Upper Yenisey and the Selenga and Angara basins. When drought impacted that area c. 7500–70…

Turkeys Befriend a Girl
From Basketmaker II to Pueblo II (200 BC-AD 1150), turkey husbandry flourished among Ancestral Pueblos inhabiting the northern and southern San Juan areas (300 BC-AD 1250) and the Rio Grande Valley (AD 1250- 1700) due to the ritual-symbolic importance of turkey feathers to rainmaking ideology. As primary caregivers, Ancestral Puebloan women's long-lasting social bond with domesticated turkeys was disrupted by Spanish maize and textile tribute (en…
Itamu umumi yooya’ ökiwni (“We Will Arrive as Rain to You)
During Basketmaker II (∼800 BC to AD 400), Kiowa-speaking Eastern Basketmaker (EBM) farmers who migrated north shared threads of common heritage with Fremont peoples [Ortman and McNeil, 2017. The Kiowa Odyssey: Evidence of Historical Relationships among Pueblo, Fremont, and North Plains Peoples. Plains Anthropologist 63(246):152-174]. But were EBM farmers alone on their migration north? In this paper, we draw upon linguistic, archaeological, and …
The Kiowa Odyssey
A detail of North American prehistory that has long puzzled anthropologists is how the Kiowa speech community ended up on the Southern Plains, given that Kiowa is closely related to the Tanoan Pueblo languages of the US Southwest. In this paper, we present a variety of linguistic, ethnographic, and archaeological evidence which suggest: (1) Proto-Kiowa-Tanoan was spoken in Late Archaic and Eastern Basketmaker II sites on the Colorado Plateau; (2)…
Western Basketmakers
This paper explores a question that has long perplexed Southwest archaeologists regarding the roles played by indigenous foragers and migrant farmers in the extension of maize agriculture to the Colorado Plateau during the Early Agricultural Period, beginning ∼2000 BC. Drawing on linguistic, archaeological, and rock art evidence, we constructed an argument suggesting that southern Uto-Aztecan speaking people who practiced corn agriculture migrate…
La mémoire sociale inscrite dans l’art rupestre
Au moyen d’une approche post-structurelle pour l’interprétation de l’art rupestre, le présent article cherche à reconstituer les processus sociaux et culturels impliqués dans la transmission de la Sibérie centrale à l’Amérique du Nord d’un style d’art rupestre ancien de l’Angara. Les Evenks parlant le Toungouse‐Mandchou en Sibérie ont créé de l’art rupestre sur des sites cérémoniels avec des images qui visaient à communiquer les croyances religie…
Social Memory Inscribed in Rock Art
Using a poststructural practice approach to rock art interpretation, this paper seeks to reconstruct an understanding of the social and cognitive processes involved in the transmission of an ancient Angara rock art style from central Siberia to North America. Tungusic Manchu-speaking Evenki in Siberia produced rock art at ceremonial sites and inscribed images intended to communicate a regional Bear Restoration Complex and bear-human ancestry reli…
Recurrence of Bear Restoration Symbolism
By combining ethnographic and evolutionary psychological approaches, this paper compares adaptive strategies of two groups of hunter-gatherers colonizing marginal environments, one in Southern Siberia (Minusinsk Basin) and the other in North America (Great Basin and Colorado Plateau). The biological and cultural survival of Southern Siberian (Evenki) and Basin-Plateau (Numic) hunter-gatherers depended upon developing a complex of social and symbo…
