Pipestone argillite artifacts from old mobile and environs
Pipestone Artifacts From Upper Mississippi Valley Sites
Pipestone artifacts have been recovered from numerous sites throughout the upper Midwest and eastern Plains. Geologic sources and glacial deposits of this argillite have distributions almost equally broad. Artifacts from a historic component and several prehistoric sites in the upper Mississippi River valley have been analyzed through X-ray powder diffractometry and compared to pipestones from geological sources. Similarity in mineral composition…
Altiplano comestible earths: Prehistoric and historic geophagy of Highland Peru and Bolivia
Research on comestible earths utilized in the Andes indicates that they have a history of use of at least 2500 years. A hypothesis proposed for the origin of geophagy suggests a considerably greater time depth. Comestible earths discussed involve those with physiological, cultural, or medicinal components. This analysis includes 27 indigenously recognized earths. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc
Select Exotic Artifacts From Cattle Oiler (39St224): A Middle Missouri Tradition Site in Central South Dakota
The Cattle Oiler site, 39ST224, in the Big Bend Reservoir Area of South Dakota, contains Initial and Extended components of the Middle Missouri tradition as well as a component of the Extended Coalescent variant. Exotic artifacts, i.e., specimens whose provenances are outside the Missouri River basin in South Dakota, are described and evaluated. The Initial Middle Missouri component contains artifacts originating from distant locales, the Extende…
Catlinite' and the Spread of the Calumet Ceremony
In his interpretation of the introduction of the calumet ceremony into the southeastern U.S. in this journal, Brown (1989) has perpetuated a common error that the lithic nickname 'catlinite' correctly describes any of the red Plains pipestones from the three well-known midwestern localities he cites. In truth, the mineralogy of each of the pipestones from those three geologic sources (provenances) are distinct from one another, and that of catlin…
Nature and Provenance of Red Pipestone from the Wittrock Site (130B4), Northwest Iowa
Five pipestone specimens from the Wittrock Mill Creek culture site were evaluated by x-ray powder diffraction analysis. While their mineral compositions were very similar to one another, they are not among the varieties of “catlinite” pipestone types occurring at Pipestone National Monument, a commonly assumed source of all pipestone. Pipestone types like the Wittrock specimens were found in outcrop and cores from south central Minnesota. Because…
