Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between AD 900-1600, the native peoples of the Mississippi River Valley and other areas of the Eastern Woodlands of the United States conceived and executed one of the greatest artistic traditions of the Precolumbian Americas. Created in the media of copper, shell, stone, clay, and wood, and incised or carved with a complex set of symbols and motifs, this seven-hundred-year-old artistic tradition functioned within a multiethnic landscape centered on communities dominated by earthen mounds and plazas. Previous researchers have referred to this material as the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (SECC). This groundbreaking volume brings together ten essays by leading anthropologists, archaeologists, and art historians, who analyze the iconography of Mississippian art in order to reconstruct the ritual activities, cosmological vision, and ideology of these ancient precursors to several groups of contemporary Native Americans. Significantly, the authors correlate archaeological, ethnographic, and art historical data that illustrate the stylistic differences within Mississippian art as well as the numerous changes that occur through time. The research also demonstrates the inadequacy of the SECC label, since Mississippian art is not limited to the Southeast and reflects stylistic changes over time among several linked but distinct religious traditions. The term Mississippian Iconographic Interaction Sphere (MIIS) more adequately describes the corpus of this Mississippian art. Most important, the authors illustrate the overarching nature of the ancient Native American religious system, as a creation unique to the native American cultures of the eastern United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992 and now updated with a new preface by the author and a foreword by Thomas R. Hester, "The Caddo Nation" investigates the early contacts between the Caddoan peoples of the present-day Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas region and Europeans, including the Spanish, French, and some Euro-Americans. Perttula's study explores Caddoan cultural change from the perspectives of both archaeological data and historical, ethnographic, and archival records. The work focuses on changes from A.D. 1520 to ca. A.D. 1800 and challenges many long-standing assumptions about the nature of these changes.

Download or read book Native Americans and Archaeologists written by Nina Swidler and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 1997-04-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal and economic factors have thrust American archaeology into a period of intellectual and methodological unrest. Issues such as reburial and repatriation, land and resource 'ownership,' and the integration of tradition and science have long divided archaeologists and Native American communities. Both groups recognize the need for a dramatic transformation of the discipline into one that appeals to and serves the greater public. This book tackles these and other issues by elucidating successful strategies for collaboration. It includes detailed discussions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990 in effort to legislatively redefine ownership of cultural items. Perspectives range from Native American representatives from tribes throughout the U.S., professional archaeologists and anthropologists working for tribes, federal and state agency representatives, museum specialists, and private archaeology and anthropology consultants. Published in cooperation with the Society for American Archaeology.

Book excerpt: This collection of 12 ethnobiological papers compiled in honor of ethnobiologist Amadeo Rea, plus an essay by Rea himself, reflect the depth and breadth of the field of ethnobiology. Each chapter explores some aspect of the rich and complex relationship of indigenous and other subsistence-based peoples with their biological worlds. The volume's chapters are authored by some of today's leaders in ethnobiology and cover a range of ethnobotanical and ethnozoological topics from the distant past to the immediate present. Using a variety of methods from interviews with knowledge holders to cutting edge quantitative linguistic analyses, the papers cover broadly relevant themes such as conservation and the linkages between biological diversity, cultural diversity, and their resilience. This book is the first volume in the Contributions in Ethnobiology series.

Book excerpt: "A richly detailed edited volume that reexamines Mississippian mortuary practices in light of current anthropological and archaeological theoretical perspectives."--C. Cliff Boyd, Radford University "Shows that instead of reflecting status, mortuary programs actually use the dead to refract, realign, and repurpose the roles and relations of the living."--Alex W. Barker, University of Missouri The residents of Mississippian towns principally located in the southeastern and midwestern United States from 900 to1500 A.D. made many beautiful objects, which included elaborate and well-crafted copper and shell ornaments, pottery vessels, and stonework. Some of these objects were socially valued goods and often were placed in ritual context, such as graves. The funerary context of these artifacts has sparked considerable study and debate among archaeologists, raising questions about the place in society of the individuals interred with such items, as well as the nature of the societies in which these people lived. By focusing on how mortuary practices serve as symbols of beliefs and values for the living, the contributors to Mississippian Mortuary Practices explore how burial of the dead reflects and reinforces the cosmology of specific cultures, the status of living participants in the burial ceremony, ongoing kin relationships, and other aspects of social organization.

Download or read book Caddoan Saltmakers in the Ouachita Valley written by Ann M. Early and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Hardman site, on the Saline Bayou in the Ouachita River valley of Arkansas, nearly 1,000 features were uncovered: postmold outlines of structures, an encircling compound fence and other facilities, pits, hearths, and human burials. The features and midden contained saltpan and other ceramics, lithic artifcats and debris, floral and faunal remains, and human remains. Analyses show the site had at least five components, including a Mid-Ouachita phase (ca. A.D. 1400-1500) Caddoan farmstead, and a Deceiper phase (ca A.D. 1650-1700) Caddoan habitation and burial site. Occupants of the site evaporated salt from Saline Bayou water, grew maize and other crops, and used a wide array of wild resources, including large amounts of pine timber from the neighboring uplands. Skeletal remains show evidence of a previously unknown disease that may be related to saltmaking, but also show that the Hardman inhabitants had better nutrition and general health than other nearby protohistoric populations, with no evidence of disease or social disruption from contact with Europeans. Saltmaking took place at the site from before A.D. 1400 to the end of the Deceiper phase occupation. Burial practices, skeletal evidence, and information from other sites in the Ouachita and Arkansas valleys indicate salt was made for local consumption in the Mid-Ouachita phase, but became an item of trade with Arkansas valley populations by the Deceiper phase. Trade routes may have included canoe travel down the Ouachita River and up Bayou Bartholomew to the vicinity of the Quapaw communities on the Arkansas River. Saltmaking, however, was probably never more than a part-time activity among farming famillies living along Saline Bayou. The site was abandoned before permanent European settlement in the valley.

Download or read book Mississippian Settlement Patterns written by Bruce D. Smith and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Archeology: Mississippian Settlement Patterns explains the cultural organization of many of the prehistoric societies in the Eastern United States during the last 1000 years of their existence. This book emphasizes the difference between the central core of Mississippian societies and those peripheral societies that preceded its development. Readers are advised to begin the examination of this compilation by reading Chapter 16 first, followed by Chapters 8 to 13 and 15, in order to understand the variations of patterning among societies that are commonly regarded as nascent or developed Mississippian. The rest of the chapters analyze cultural groups on the West, North, and Northeast that are not Mississippian societies, including a discussion of late prehistoric societies that are in some ways divergent but are sometimes regarded as Mississippian. This publication is valuable to archeologists, historians, and researchers conducting work on Mississippian societies.
