Making Community
Recent investigations of Morton Village, a Mississippian and Oneota community formed following Oneota migration into the central Illinois River valley around AD 1300, focus on evaluating the social context for the remarkable violence evidenced at the adjacent Norris Farms 36 cemetery. Here, we use the concepts of thirdspace and hybridity to examine three areas of village life: creation of the physical structure of the village, ritual, and foodway…
Children, Migration and Mortuary Representation in the Late Prehistoric Central Illinois River Valley
Morton Village and the associated Norris Farms #36 cemetery site in Fulton County, Illinois, provide an opportunity to synthesise community and mortuary perspectives on life among Mississippian and Oneota inhabitants of the late prehistoric Central Illinois River Valley. Among research directions to develop from new Michigan State University-Dickson Mounds Museum excavations are questions regarding the role that the 143 subadults interred in the …
A Preliminary Analysis of Oneota and Mississippian Serving Vessels at the Morton Village Site, West-Central Illinois
The Morton Village Site (11-F-2) of west-central Illinois is an important site for understanding late prehistoric interactions between people of the Oneota and Mississippian traditions. Excavations at the site have uncovered ceramic vessels that appear to be inter-ethnic hybrids, combining Oneota decorative motifs with Mississippian forms. Primarily, this article examines metric and decorative motif variation of a sample of serving vessels and pr…
Exploring the Longhouse and Community in Tribal Society
Archaeology offers a unique opportunity to explore the ways humans have created, lived within, and changed their communities. Recent research indicates important theoretical distinctions in the way in which archaeologists conceive of community, and further development of nontraditional theoretical models is necessary to improve our ability to understand communities of the past. This study offers a reconsideration of community that focuses on the …
The Myth of Moccasin Bluff
In a 1969 Ethnohistory article James Fitting and Charles Cleland developed an ethnographic model derived from the Potawatomi Pattern of large, semipermanent villages with an emphasis on corn agriculture to interpret earlier cultural adaptations within the Carolinian biotic province. This and other works created and perpetuated the Myth of Moccasin Bluff, which identifies the Moccasin Bluff site in southwestern Michigan as an example of an agricul…
