Woodworking and Cultivating in the Late Archaic of the Midcontinent
Between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago, during the Late Archaic, Native groups in the midcontinent began experimenting with growing and encouraging certain plants for food, fiber, and technological materials. While much attention has been focused on the charred and fragmentary remnants of the plants, little attention has been focused on the stone tools used to modify landscapes to facilitate their growth. The authors argue that the wear patterns on th…

The Kerr Canyon Textile and the Importance of Packrats (Neotoma floridana) in the Eastern Woodlands
In 1974 a section of uncarbonized textile made from rattlesnake master leaves (Eryngium yuccifolium Michx.) was recovered from an eastern woodrat (Neotoma floridana) midden in a sandstone rockshelter along Kerr Canyon in the Shawnee Hills of southern Illinois. Even though this important discovery was brought to the attention of local archaeologists, the textile went unreported and unanalyzed until its recent rediscovery. A radiocarbon assay of fi…
Hunter-Gatherer Interaction and Alliance Formation
Patterns of social interaction among hunter-gatherers during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition in North America have received considerable attention in recent archaeological studies. One hypothesis is that territory size decreased as band packing increased when bands, particularly those occupyingfavored environments, flssioned and multiplied and target game animals changed. One result of this process should be archaeological evidence of intensi…
The Bostrom Site
Recent investigations at the Bostrom site in southwestern Illinois demonstrate that the site was occupied by at least three successive groups of Paleo-Indians: Clovis, Gainey, and Holcombe. Of the artifacts for which lithic raw materials were identified, Clovis tools are manufactured from stone that was procured up to 1500 km from the site. Gainey and Holcombe artifacts, on the other hand, are manufactured from stone whose source areas occur with…
