Accidental Plains (?) Archaeologist: Archaeology in the Heartland
If not accidental, my entrance into the field of archaeology might be described as random. I grew up in a small town nestled among the truck farms of southern New Jersey. As with many kids, I had some interest in finding arrowheads and made occasional treks with my cousin to a site south of town on the Crick, the Cohansey River. As a young boy, many summers were spent at an uncle's farm prowling the countryside with the family dog. We would hike …
Archaeology in the Middle Rocky Mountains: Myopia, Misconceptions and Other Concerns
Middle Rocky Mountain archaeology is being impeded by provincialism and a preoccupation with the Northwestern Plains fostered by archaeologists failure to clearly distinguish between mountains and plains. Data from the mountains are interpreted in terms of the Northwestern Plains resulting in distorted and invalid interpretations and conclusions. Personal and favored interpretations and observations are being presented to the exclusion of alterna…
Bighorn Canyon Archeology: A Reply
In a review of Bighorn Canyon Archeology (Husted 1969), Kehoe (1972) resorts to misrepresentation and insinuation in an attempt to discredit a differing point of view. The author reiterates his position and replies to Kehoe's insinuation of unethical practice
The Fremont Culture: Its Derivation and Ultimate Fate
Aikens (1966) has proposed that Fremont-Promontory culture originated on the Northwestern Plains and representsan Athabascan migration into the Utah area at circa A. D. 500, their descendents, he suggests, were later forced back onto the Plains by the 12th century expansion of Shoshoneans from the Great Basin. He also proposes that FremontPromontory culture was ancestral to Dismal River culture. In this paper an alternative hypothesis is proposed…
Site 39Lm219 In The Big Bend Reservoir, South Dakota
Site 39LM219, an earth-lodge village located in the neck of the Big Bend of the Missouri River in Lyman County, South Dakota, is assigned to the Chouteau Aspect and is presumed to date at about A. D. 1700. Probably the site is part of the Crazy Bull Site previously described in this journal
Early Occupations in Bighorn Canyon, Montana
Excavation of the Mangus Site (24CB22l) in Bighorn Canyon, Montana revealed a stratum containing artifacts of the Agate Basin Complex. This occupation was dated by radiocarbon at 6740 B. C. and 6650 B. C. The Sorenson Site (24CB202) contained two early cultural levels, one of unknown cultural affiliation datedat 5850 B. C. and 5610 B. C. overlying a second unidentified occupation. Future investigations in Bighorn Canyon may produce artifacts allo…
The Meander Site (39Lm20L) In Fort Randall Reservoir, South Dakota
The Meander Site (39LM20l) is located on the left bank of the White River in Lyman County, South Dakota, about eight miles above the junction of the White and Missouri rivers. Test excavations at the site were conducted in 1953 by Harold A. Hus cher of the Smithsonian Institution, River BasinSurveys. Though few in number, the artifacts recovered indicate the occupation belongs to the Chouteau Aspect. Ceramic analysis suggests the site was occupie…
Early Occupation of the Colorado Front Range
Finds of Cody knives, Agate Basin, Allen, Clovis, Eden, and Meserve points indicate that the Colorado Front Range was occupied at least 7000 to 8000 years ago. Apparently Folsom hunters avoided the higher altitudes, but Clovis hunters may have crossed the Continental Divide
A Rock Alignment in the Colorado Front Range
Rock alignments of various sorts are found at high altitudes in the Front Range of northcentral Colorado. An example on Trail Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park consists of a linear arrangement of rocks of unknown function. Somewhat similar structures found elsewhere in northwestern America are believed to be for ceremonial purposes, and this also may be true of the Colorado examples
