Plains anthropological society 2023 distinguished service award recipient Richard R. Drass, Staff Archaeologist Emeritus, Oklahoma Archeological survey
At the 80th Annual Plains Anthropological Society Conference held in Rapid City, South Dakota, Dr. Richard R. Drass received the Society’s Distinguished Service Award, the 35th member since 1991 to
Conflict, politics, and ideology
More than a century after their discovery, archaeologists continue to debate the purpose of structures, known as council circles, found in the Little River focus of central Kansas.

Florence-A chert end scrapers from the Lasley Vore (34TU65), Deer Creek (34KA3) and Longest (34JF1) sites and the eighteenth-century southern Plains hide trade
The importance of stone end scrapers in southern Plains artifact assemblages increased from AD 1200 to the mid-1700s. With Native involvement in the French hide trade, beginning in the early eighteenth century, end scrapers of Florence-A chert underwent a series of changes designed to lessen the costs of hide production (Vehik et al. [2010]. The Plains Hide Trade: French Impact on Wichita Technology and Society. In Across a Great Divide, edited b…
North American Plains
Baffles and Stockades
Southern Plains archaeologists have for years reported piecemeal data suggesting that ancestors of the Wichita Indians periodically built fortifications. Since 2003, we have conducted archaeological and geophysical investigations at multiple Late Prehistoric and European contact era fortified Wichita sites occupied between about a.d. 1500 and a.d. 1811. We seek to better understand the areal extent, timing, and structural changes associated with …

Digging Ditches
Antelope Creek people fought against Washita River people, Coalescent people fought against Middle Missouri people, and Oneota people fought against everyone.Like the widespread recognition of a link between Plains violence and resource shortages, this answer fits well with Ember and Ember's (1992) analysis, which also highlighted the importance of socialization for mistrust of outsiders.Violence across ethnic or cultural boundaries is well docum…

The Hide Trade and Wichita Social Organization
Compared with late prehistoric archaeological sites attributed to the Wichita, protohistoric sites in Oklahoma contain artifact assemblages indicating that hide processing for trade with French voyageurs became a primary economic activity. Yet aside from assemblage changes, little is understood about how market demand for hides and other animal byproducts altered Wichita social organization, if at all. In this article we investigate polygyny. We …
The Yellow Creek Cache
The Yellow Creek cache was found on a bluff overlooking a small tributary of the Washita River in central Oklahoma. The cache contained a large number of tools, bifaces, and debitage of Florence-A chert. The source area for Florence-A chert is about 225 km to the northeast in south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma. The cache was created by a bison hunting expedition out of the Lower Walnut focus villages in south central Kansas during th…
Conflict, Trade, and Political Development on the Southern Plains
Trade is a prominent activity across much of North America during the Late Prehistoric period. On the Southern Plains, two approaches are used commonly to explain trade during this period. In one, trade is part of a system of economic interdependence between egalitarian societies having very distinct subsistence strategies. In the other, trade reflects the incorporation of Plains societies into macroeconomies centered outside the Plains. I argue …

Dhegiha Origins and Plains Archaeology
A number of Plains archaeological studies address the idea that Dhegihan origins are from archaeological complexes found in the four state area comprised of southeast Kansas, southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and northeast Oklahoma. This study first assesses those arguments using both the archaeological and historical records. The last part of the study discusses the implications of such arguments for Dhegihan material and nonmaterial cultu…
Wichita Culture History
The present-day Wichita are composed of four subgroups known as the Tawakoni, Wichita, Iscani/Waco, and Taovaya/Tawehash. There has been a tendency in both archaeological and cultural anthropological research to see Wichita culture his ory as if the present-day organization was characteristic of the past. This study argues that the subgroups were distinctand independent social systems in the early Historic, and that the subgroups can be traced in…

Late Prehistoric Plains Trade and Economic Specialization
Traditional views of Plains Indian adaptations, both prehistoric and historic, have stressed the need for limited economic interaction between societies. Trade among Plains Indian societies has generally been viewed as having limited economic importance. This study presents an investigation into the economic value of the Late Prehistoric trade in one resource (Florence-A chert). Comparisons are also made to other resources traded across the Plain…
Problems and Potential in Plains Indian Demography
Three issues raised by the preceding authors are discussed: the use of ethnographic information for understanding prehistoric and early historic Plains societies, the role of disease, and reproductive strategies. General discussion is followed by specific consideration of the preceding papers
Prehistoric Quarries and Lithic Production
Onate’s Expedition to the Southern Plains
This article reassesses the route and destination of Onate’s 1601 expedition to the Southern Plains. It also reconsiders a recent discussion of a map drawn by an indian who was captured during the expedition. Using information obtained from these reassessments, some implications for understanding Late Prehistoric period cultural adaptations on the Southern Plains are discussed
The Effects of Trade on Resource Procurement Behavior
Although there are a number of recent studies documenting the trade of resources from one area to another, few of these have addressed the changes which occur in local behavior as a response to the development of that trade. This article will investigate three potential areas of change using, as an example, a resource that was widely distributed during the Late Prehistoric period on the Southern Plains
Bone Fragments and Bone Grease Manufacturing
The presence of small bone fragments in the archaeological record has been frequently used to infer the activities of bone grease and/or soup manufacturing. This article explores the possibility that the activity or activity-complexes responsible for the bone fragments might be manipulated to account for additional archaeological data. Emphasis is placed on building predictive models against which the data from three Northern Plains-Upper Midwest…
The Great Bend Aspect
The origins of the Great Bend aspect as well as its relations with a series of southern Plains sites are analyzed using ceramic attributes and multivariate statistics. Although the data is inadequate in certain areas the results suggest that in-situ development from earlier cultural groups is a more likely explanation than is a migration of peoples from the southern Plains
A Test of a Migration Hypothesis
The paper presents the thesis that migration hypotheses must be tested on skeletal populations as well as on other information spheres: subsets of material culture, linguistics, historical records, and toponyms. It tests the null hypothesis that a population of Slavs replaced the indigenous population of Illyrians in the karst region of Yugoslavia after the middle of the 6th century A.D. The null hypothesis is rejected by univariate and multivari…
