New Deal Archaeology in the West
Obituary, James O. Marshall III (1934–2021)
With the death on March 4, 2021, of James O. Marshall III, Kansas and Central Plains archaeology lost a dedicated student. He was 86 years old. Jim’s death followed that of his wife of 64 years, Sa
A Partial Charred Wooden Bowl From Aztalan (47JE1), Wisconsin
Fragments of a charred wooden bowl were recovered from Aztalan during excavations by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin (SHSW) in 1964. Recent advances in analytical methods facilitated a multidimensional study of these fragments. Radiocarbon-dated to cal AD 994–1154 and found in association with Late Woodland, Mississippian, and hybrid forms of ceramics, the bowl augments our understanding of perishable technologies in these cultural cont…
No deal: An inquiry into new deal era archaeology in Kansas
The impact of the New Deal has been a topic of ongoing historical investigation, with, in the past few decades, substantive research in New Deal relief programs on Americanist archaeology by disciplinary historians. The application of resources newly available through relief programs varied considerably geographically however, and this article uses Kansas as a case study of a state in which there was no federal New Deal archaeology. The article e…
New Deal Archaeology in Tennessee: Intellectual, Methodological, and Theoretical Contributions
George A. Lidberg Jr. And Depression-Era Archaeology in Tennessee
The 1930s were a time of ferment for American archaeology that expanded through its inclusion in New Deal–era federal relief programs. The passage of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Act in 1933 and establishment of a salvage archaeology program in response to proposed impoundments made the TVA a major locus of archaeological activity in the eastern United States. One of those participants was George A. Lidberg Jr., a somewhat typical Works P…
The Gilded Age “Bone Wars” and the Birth of Paleoindian Archaeology: Williston, Martin, Overton, and the 12 Mile Creek Site
The 12 Mile Creek Paleoindian site, excavated in 1895-6, was the first scientifically excavated Paleoindian site. Reported by Williston in 1902, at a time prior to the establishment of standards of evidence, he was left with little recourse but to affirm the experience and skills of the site's excavators, H. T. Martin and Thomas R. Overton. In fact, all three men were products of the Gilded Age “Bone Wars,” the highly public feud waged between O.…
The Lower Walnut Settlement and Its Ceramics
The Lower Walnut Settlement is a loose cluster of sites located in the lower Walnut River valley of south-central Kansas. The sites are dominated by late precontact deposits, dating from ca A.D. 1350 to 1750, though some sites do have earlier components. This paper reviews the history of investigations in the lower Walnut River valley, including major highway salvage investigations conducted by the Kansas State Historical Society in the mid-1990s…
Frederick Jackson Turner, Archaeologist
While a student at the University of Wisconsin, Frederick Jackson Turner, excavated a burial mound in Wisconsin in 1886. Best known later for his “frontier thesis,” Turner suggested the skeletal remains might be those of a mound builder, a vanished race that preceded the American Indians. Following the excavation, Turner, a pioneer in interdisciplinary historical research, immersed himself in the limited Midwest archaeological literature of the d…
Toast at Alden's Corners
Charred bread was recovered from an archaeological site in southern Wisconsin. The site was part of mid-to late-nineteenth century rural hamlet known historically to have been resident to many German immigrant families. Given the cultural proclivity by the Germanic peoples for rye bread, the archaeological sample was hypothesized to be rye. To test this hypothesis, a polymerase chain reaction analysis of DNA extracted from the bread was conducted…
An Update on European Contact Goods from the Lower Walnut Settlement, Kansas
This paper presents information on artifacts indicating contact between Europeans and the Wichita inhabitants of the large protohistoric settlement in the lower Walnut River valley, Kansas. Specifically, revisions of previously reported data are offered along with new information. The chronological significance of the data is considered, as is the possible connection suggested by the data between the Lower Walnut Settlement and the Bryson-Paddock…
The Hanthorne Site (14LT335), a Late Woodland Site in Southeast Kansas
In 1946, Albert C. Spaulding, while at the University of Kansas, investigated a mound in southeast Kansas. The mound, composed of earth and fire-cracked rock contained artifacts and several burials. Based largely on the presence of cord marked ceramics, the mound can probably be assigned to the Late Woodland, perhaps ca. A.D. 700 to 900. The mound may be an incipient burned rock midden, possibly related to the gathering and processing of nut mast…
European-contact and Southwestern Artifacts in the Lower Walnut Focus Sites at Arkansas City, Kansas
Large-scale data recovery at eight Lower Walnut focus sites yielded a large and rich data base, including glass beads, a piece of lead, obsidian, marine shell, Southwestern ceramics, and cultural turquoise (i.e., chemical turquoise, azurite, chrysocolla, and malachite). The aboriginal artifacts may have entered the sites through the hands of intermediate hunting-foraging societies or through direct contact between Lower Walnut focus-Wichita peopl…
A Source Study of Obsidian from the Infinity Site (14MY305), Kansas
Three obsidian flakes were recovered from the multicomponent Infinity site (14MY305) in southeast Kansas. Two flakes large enough(> 1 em) for provenance analysis via x-ray fluorescence were manufactured from obsidian of the Malad, Idaho, chemical type. Over time, the flakes have come to be explicitly associated with the Middle Woodland Havana tradition Cuesta phase and have been used to link it, improbably, to the Hopewell Interaction Sphere. Whi…
The Kansas Anthropologist Reminlscence Project for Senior Plains Anthropologists
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations, ask thy father and he will show thee, thy elders, and they will tell thee. Deuteronomy 32: 7 For the past six years, The Kansas Anthropologist has published an ongoing series of reminiscences or retrospective articles by senior Great Plains archaeologists. The aim of the project is to collect reminiscences from senior anthropologists regarding their experiences in pre-and post-Wor…
