Projectile points across the Northern Rocky Mountain front
In the recent past, the Front Ranges of the Northern Rocky Mountains formed a permeable boundary that people repeatedly crossed for trade, subsistence, or warfare, and where people occupying different parts of western North America interacted. In this paper we apply a landscape approach to study pre-contact projectile point morphologies and raw materials, and related changes in the geographic affiliations of peoples using the Billy Big Spring Sit…
Glacial kettles as archives of early human settlement along the Northern Rocky Mountain Front
The Northern Rocky Mountain Front (hereafter Northern Front) is a prominent geographic feature in archaeological models of human dispersal in the terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene of North America. Testing those models has been arduous because of local geomorphological factors that tend to obliterate or otherwise limit access to archaeological finds of relevant age. In this paper, we present well-stratified archaeological and environmental …
Sourcing Prehistoric Ceramics at Chodistaas Pueblo, Arizona
Oral tradition as emplacement
We highlight the significance of process, event, and context of human practice in Indigenous Creation traditions to integrate Blackfoot 'Napi' origin stories with environmental, geological, and archaeological information pertaining to the peopling of the Northwestern Plains, where the northern Rocky Mountain Front may have played a prominent role. First, we discuss the potential and limitations of origin stories generally, and Napi stories specif…
McKean in the Northern Rocky Mountain Front
We characterize the McKean (Middle Archaic) settlement of the Lewis Range in the Northern Rocky Mountain Front based on new excavations at the well-preserved and multi-component Billy Big Spring site, Montana, and on a reevaluation of the regional archaeological grey literature. The study area contains numerous McKean sites despite being generally considered marginal to the McKean world. Economic strategies emphasize upland sheep hunting using pr…
Invisible Reality
Invisible Reality is a personal account of Blackfeet culture and society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It seamlessly moves from family heritage to ethnic memory of a complex past and back to experiences of life in a modern American Indian reservation. Throughout the book Rosalyn R. LaPier, a self-portrayed mixed-blood Blackfeet tribal member, weaves together her people’s philosophical principles and traditional practices i…
The Inalienable-Commodity Continuum in the Circulation of Birds on the North American Plains
Territory Formation among Ancestral Blackfoot Bison Hunters of the Northwestern Plains
Bison hunters and the Rocky Mountains
Art as the Road to Perfection
The Blackfoot bison hunters of the North American Plains are widely known for their artfully painted lodges commonly known as ‘tipis’. Traditionally, tipi designs were not for everyone; rather, they were received individually from the spirit world or ceremonially transferred from one person to another under strict covenants. Painted tipis advertised the spiritual and social stature of their owners and were intricately woven in the ontological fab…
Complementary approaches to the identification of bison processing for storage at the Kutoyis complex, Montana
Dating Stone Alignments by Luminescence
Stone alignments, including tipi rings and drive lines, are abundant on the northern Plains and adjacent Rocky Mountains, but they have been notoriously difficult to date. This paper applies luminescence dating to sediments directly underneath the rocks to estimate the age of placement of the rock. This is based on the assumption that before the rock was emplaced, turbation processes brought sufficient grains to the surface, where sunlight reset …
Landscape Engineering and Organizational Complexity among Late Prehistoric Bison Hunters of the Northwestern Plains
Studies of hunter-gatherer sociopolitical organization consistently exclude terrestrial big-game hunters-pedestrian bison hunters, in particular-from discussions of emerging complexity. To an important extent, this exclusion stems both from the ethology of bison and its consequences for mobile hunters and from the character of their archaeological record, which lacks conventional indicators of organizational complexity such as high-status burials…
The remaking of Lake Sakakawea
The creation of Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota during the 1950s resulted in significant grief and loss for the Fort Berthold Indian community and continues to figure prominently in the collective memory of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara people. Drawing from ethnographic information pre- and postdating dam construction, we examine the lake's paradoxical identities in the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation worldview, as a repository of negative …
Agency and politics in hunter-gatherer territory formation
Discussões sobre territorialidade na pré-história que ligam propriedade, exclusão e privilégio ao desenvolvimento de sistemas sociais complexos são raramente relevantes para explicar a organização territorial de caçadores-coletores. Portanto, é necessário abordar a territorialidade de caçadores-coletores de uma perspectiva que é exclusivamente voltada para seus padrões de usufruto da terra, para suas redes sociais e para a agência política dos me…
Animating by Association
Despite great variability in archaeological and ethnographic material culture across North America, a handful of objects are ubiquitous in assemblages of different ages and geographies. These index objects are clues to ontological principles, such as animacy, that guide the interactions between Native Americans and the material world. The impact of relational ontologies on the formation of heterogeneous archaeological assemblages may be evaluated…

Vanishing River. Landscapes and Lives of the Lower Verde Valley--The Lower Verde Valley Archaeological Project
Seven decades ago President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal inaugurated archaeology as a source of employment for those affected by the Great Depression. Since then, explains volume co-editor J. H. Altschul, cultural resource management (CRM) has matured as an industry that involves highly trained archaeologists and specialists in several fields and offers hands-on learning opportunities for students. Today, CRM is a respected and well-funde…
Ceramic Evidence for Community Reorganization and Change in East-Central Arizona
We present a brief synthesis of current ceramic research in the Grasshopper region of east-central Arizona. Through a detailed analysis of ceramic technology and composition, coupled with observations of archaeological formation processes, we argue that the late Pueblo III-Pueblo IV period ceramic assemblages in the region document an instance of rapid change in manufacture and circulation patterns. Intensification and diversification of ceramic …
Defining Material Correlates for Ceramic Circulation in the Prehistoric Puebloan Southwest
The circulation of material goods plays a crucial role in the organization and evolution of social networks in preindustrial societies. In the American Southwest, the study of exchange networks, and particularly of ceramic exchange, has taken a central place in archaeological research that aims at reconstructing changing patterns of community interaction and sociopolitical organization in prehistoric Southwestern societies. This article examines …

Refinements in Dating Late Cibola White Ware
Refinements to Breternitz's (1966) dating of late Cibola White Ware ceramics enhance the accuracy of ceramic cross-dating in the American Southwest and illustrate the importance of reevaluating other ceramics. Revisions to the dating of Snowflake, Reserve, Tularosa, and Pinedale Black-on-white are discussed
