New Philadelphia and the Freedom Corridor
NEW PHILADELPHIA WAS AN ABOLITIONIST VILLAGE established in 1836 by Frank and Lucy McWorter. It was the first town in the US founded, that is, platted and registered, by African Americans. In 2022 Congress and the president named it a national park. From its first days through to today, New Philadelphia has connected to the Freedom Corridor. This panel explores its meaning and its connections. The New Philadelphia Association has been led by peop…
From Wet Lands to Dry Spaces (and Back Again): Archaeological Perspectives on the Use, Drainage, and Restoration of the Kankakee Wetlands, USA
The Kankakee River in the midcontinent of the United States was once home to one of the largest wetlands in the world, the Grand Kankakee Marsh, as well as countless smaller wetlands along its margins. Beginning in the mid nineteenth century, over 200,000 ha of the Marsh was drained along with an untold number of smaller wetlands. Yet, while wetlands were devalued in the nineteenth century, these ecosystems were prized hunting, plant collection, …
New Evidence of the Earliest Domestic Dogs in the Americas
The domestication of dogs likely occurred in Eurasia by 16,000 years ago, and the initial peopling of the Americas potentially happened around the same time. Dogs were long thought to have accompanied the first migrations into the Americas, but conclusive evidence for Paleoindian dogs is lacking. In this study, the direct dating of two dogs from the Koster site (Greene County, Illinois) and a newly described dog from the Stilwell II site (Pike Co…

An Interdisciplinary Human-Environmental Examination of Effects Consistent with the Anthropocene in the Lower Illinois River Valley
Using archaeological and ecological data of animal communities, and fish communities in particular, we test for evidence consistent with the Anthropocene in the lower Illinois River valley across millennia. Environmental impacts by preindustrialized peoples may be minor compared to current alterations; however, this hypothesis is untested and should be assessed. Using the relative abundance of fish taxa, we tested for differences among archaeolog…
A Bobcat Burial and Other Reported Intentional Animal Burials from Illinois Hopewell Mounds
The Elizabeth site is a bluff-top mortuary mound group constructed and primarily used during Hopewellian (Middle Woodland) times. Recent reanalysis of nonhuman skeletal remains from the site reveals that an intentional burial previously identified as a dog (Canis familiaris) is actually an immature bobcat (Lynx rufus). As a result of this discovery, we reevaluated eight other purported animal burials from Illinois Middle Woodland mounds, includin…

How the Pokagon Band Avoided Removal: Archaeological Evidence from the Faunal Assemblage of the Pokagon Village Site (20BE13)
The Removal period is the time between the Treaty of Greenville in A.D. 1795 and the final expulsion of most Potawatomi from Michigan and Indiana by 1840. It was a time of rapid social change, when Native Americans developed many different adaptive strategies that are revealed by great cultural diversity in time and space. Archaeological investigations of the Pokagon Village site (20BE13) have provided new insights into the strategies that the wk…
Gete Odena: Grand Island’s Post-Contact Occupation at Williams Landing
Two seasons of excavation were conducted at Gete Odena, a Terminal WoodlandlHistoric Period site near Williams Landing. We discuss two significant findings from the post-contact period. The first is the discovery of six pits investigated through a performance-based analysis and thought to be used in hide processing. The second significant finding is the identification of the occupation surfaces associated with the late eighteenth- and early ninet…
