Ceramic artifacts from the 2019 excavations at the Tobias site, 14RC8 — evidence of local manufacture and trade at a Great Bend aspect site
Analysis of ceramic vessel sherds from the Tobias site, 14RC8, a Great Bend aspect, Little River focus ancestral Wichita village site, has determined that Tobias pottery vessels were consistent with those of nearby Little River focus sites and were highly utilitarian. Despite an abundance of illuvial and alluvial clay being available on and near the site, compositional analysis indicates that onsite clay sources were not used for ceramic vessel c…
Drilled Bear Canine Teeth from an Archaeological Site in East-Central Kansas
A minimum of 14 drilled bear canine teeth associated with 5 human teeth and fragmented bone from a surface exposure in east-central Kansas indicate contact between groups participating in the Hopewell social network in the American Midwest. Drilled, polished, ground, and scored bear teeth, along with a range of exotic and symbolic artifacts, are characteristic of Hopewell burial sites. The Kansas site, 14LY405, where the bear teeth were found mar…

Source Determination of an Obsidian Projectile Point from the Massacre Canyon Site (25HK13), A Keith Phase Occupation in Southwest Nebraska and Implications for Social Connections During the Early Cer…
The use of chemical analyses to determine the sources of obsidian in central Plains Early Ceramic sites has potential to illuminate social contacts and patterns of exchange of goods. X-ray fluorescence analysis determined that a diagnostic point from the Massacre Canyon site in southwest Nebraska is made of obsidian from the Valle Grande source of the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. This adds to the small number of central Plains Early Ceramic obs…
Olivella Shells from Kansas Archaeological Sites
Olivella shells found in prehistoric archaeological sites in the Great Plains can be indicators of social contact and exchange. However, because different species of Olivella shells occur in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and because both were transported great distances by prehistoric people, precise species identification is necessary. Eighteen Olivella shells from Kansas archaeological sites are identified as being a Pacific Ocean species, O…
Source Analysis of Central Plains Tradition Pottery Using Neutron Activation Analysis
We report the results of a study applying instrumental neutron activation analysis (NAA) to pottery from eight sites assigned to the western part of the Central Plains tradition (Upper Republican and Smoky Hill phases) and six components identified as High Plains Upper Republican. Our purpose is to test the feasibility of using NAA to trace interactions among people of the Central Plains tradition and between the Central Plains tradition people a…
A Keith Phase Burial on the High Plains of Kansas
A flexed adult male burial was excavated from the cut bank of a dry tributary of Museum Creek, Sheridan County, Kansas. Associated artifacts include a well-worn grinding stone and a bone tool of indeterminate function. Analysis of sediment from the grinding stone led to the identification of diagnostic opal phytoliths from hackberry fruits. The geographic location of the burial and a radiocarbon age determination of 1370 ± 70 RCYBP are sufficient…
A Middle Archaic Burial from East Central Kansas
In late 2001, investigators excavated a solitary Middle Archaic burial from the Plains-Prairie border in east-central Kansas. The burial was contained in a dissected colluvial apron at the foot of the valley wall, in a soil horizon that began accumulating around 9000 B.P. Burial goods include deer bone, a drill, and a side-notched projectile point/knife, the morphology of which is consistent with side-notched Middle Archaic points of the North Am…

Environmental Setting
This paper discusses evidence for the exchange networks that intersected through a late prehistoric site on the western margin of the Ozarks in Lawrence County, Missouri. The Dahlman site, 23LA259, was occupied during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries along the Spring River. The site consists of a collection of households in the floodplain and on a terrace overlooking the river. Materials recovered during two seasons of excavations have broug…

Source Determination of White River Group Silicates from Two Archaeological Sites in the Great Plains
High-quality cryptocrystalline silicates from the Oligocene-age White River Group of the central Great Plains (referred to here as White River Group Silicates [WRGS]) were widely used prehistorically for chipped-stone tools. There are three known source areas for WRGS: Flattop Butte in northeastern Colorado, Table Mountain in east central Wyoming, and the White River Badlands of South Dakota. Specimens from these sources are often visually indist…
