Creating Standardized Guides for Pottery Temper Characterization
Many archaeological arguments are based on artifact identification, but to be replicable the categories must be well defined, with researchers able to consistently identify the relevant attributes. If data are to be compared across projects or researchers, the same training and reference material should be available. Standardized visual guides for specific artifact types and contexts are valuable tools for improving identification by individuals …
Above and below the Green Line: A social history of divergent Mississippian cultures
A cultural boundary between Late Mississippi period groups has long been observed in the Yazoo Basin corresponding with the mouth of the Arkansas River. However, similarities in mound site structure, settlement location, and processes associated with Mississippianization have sometimes led researchers to downplay these differences, effectively treating the Yazoo Basin as a single physiographic and cultural unit. We examine the idea that subtle di…
History and Hydrology: Engineering Canoe Canals in the Estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico
Local lore has long identified an entrenched feature crossing Fort Morgan peninsula on Alabama’s Gulf of Mexico coast (USA) as an ancient canoe canal, a folk identification now confirmed by archival, artifactual, geochronological, geoarchaeological, and hydrological evidence. A 1.39 km canal (site 1BA709) linked two estuaries, Oyster Bay and Little Lagoon, connecting Mobile Bay to the Gulf of Mexico late in the Middle Woodland period, ca. a.d. 60…
Authority, Autonomy, and the Archaeology of a Mississippian Community
This book is the first detailed investigation of the important archaeological site of Parchman Place in the Mississippi Delta, a defining area for understanding the Mississippian culture that spanned much of what is now the United States Southeast and Midwest before the fifteenth century
Authority, Autonomy, and the Archaeology of a Mississippian Community
This book explores Mississippian communities in the 14th–15th century northern Yazoo Basin through an archaeological case study of Parchman Place, located in present day Coahoma County, Mississippi. Drawing on archaeological evidence for foodways, mound building, and the organization of community space, the book takes the position that community-building by Mississippian people was a process of placemaking that involved repeated re-creations of a…
