Warfare in Late Prehistoric West-Central Illinois
Social-group competition and cooperation are critical elements of models of cultural evolution. Despite the presumed significance of such interactions, archaeologists find it difficult to measure these forms of behavior. An Illinois cemetery consisting of 264 burials dating to ca. A.D. 1300 illustrates the unique information that only mortuary sites can provide on the characteristics and intensity of prehistoric intergroup conflict. In this insta…
Carnivore alteration of human bone from a late prehistoric site in illinois
The nature and pattern of destruction of human bone by scavenging animals, probably canids, is described for 30 Oneota skeletons from a west‐central Illinois cemetery dated at ca. A.D. 1300. The most frequently damaged parts of the skeleton include bones covered by relatively little soft tissue, such as the major joints of the limbs, and those in the facial, abdominal, and gluteal regions
Izapa Relief Carving
Revising her Kentucky Master's thesis, Smith demolishes the theory that Izapa sculpture served as a transition between Olmec and Maya styles. She carefully isolates Izapa characteristics, groups them into computer-generated trait groups, and classifies the stelae into seven stylistic-iconographic clusters. Her tedious methodology creates an artistically unsophisticated mix of form and representation that should be kept separate. She concludes tha…
