Inferences about Prehistoric Ceramics and People in Southeast Missouri: Results of Ceramic Compositional Analysis
Ceramic compositional studies using Instrument Neutron Activation Analysis indicates that it is possible to distinguish between ceramics manufactured from clays originating in the Central Mississippi River valley and clays originating in the Eastern Ozarks. The study also documents that shell-tempered ceramics were being made from Eastern Ozark clays during the period A.D. 700 to A.D. 1000. Shell-tempered ceramics made from clays originating in t…

Ethical Principles and Archaeological Practice: Development of an Ethics Policy
Unsettling conditions surrounding the contemporary practice of archaeology have generated an urgent need for clear ethical guidelines. The Principles of Archaeological Ethics were developed to help meet this need and provided in draft form to the Society for American Archaeology membership for review as part of a Special Report (Lynott and Wylie 1995b). Since that initial publication, two additional principles have been developed, and the origina…
Stabilization of Shoreline Archaeological Sites at Voyageurs National Park
Elevated lake levels resulting from dam construction in the early twentieth century is producing widespread shoreline erosion at Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota. In an effort to preserve a sample of the more significant archaeological sites, the National Park Service has initiated a program of site stabilization. Stabilization of the Clyde Creek and Sweetnose Island sites was accomplished during the winter months by transporting materials and …
Stable Carbon Isotopic Evidence for Maize Agriculture in Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas
Analysis of bone collagen extracted from human skeletal remains from archaeological sites dating from the Archaic period through Euro-American settlement provides evidence for the introduction of maize into regional subsistence patterns. Stable carbon isotope ratios of samples from both the eastern Ozarks and the Mississippi River alluvial valley indicate that human populations living prior to ca. A.D. 1000 consumed little or no C4 plant material…
Models of Prehistoric Adaptation in Texas
A Model of Prehistoric Adaptation in Northern Texas
This paper focuses upon the nature of prehistoric adaptation to the prairies, cross timbers and rolling plains of northern Texas. Adaptation to both the natural and cultural environment of the region is considered through the presentation of a diachronic model. This model emphasizes the economic, demographic and social aspects of adaptation to northern Texas from the earliest human occupation through the end of the prehistoric period
The Dynamics of Significance: An Example from Central Texas
The process of evaluating archaeological significance is dynamic and constantly changing. Factors affecting the significance evaluation process are considered, and an example of how the evaluation of significance at a central Texas rockshelter has changed over the last thirty years is offered
Radiocarbon Dating the Wylie Focus North Central Texas
Many archeological complexes in the Southern Plains and Texas have not been adequately dated. Many complexes in northern Texas are still dated by their association with tree-ring dated Puebloan ceramics. This paper describes recent advances in radiocarbon dating the Wylie Focus on the East Fork of the Trinity River. Based upon radiocarbon dates and associated ceramics, it is evident that these sites were occupied before A.D. 1000
Explanation of Microwear Patterns on Gravers
Two levels of microwear research are distinguished. The descriptive level of research is based on observation of microwear patterns on stone tools. The explanatory level requires replication experiments. An experiment with the production of microwear on gravers is presented here
