Archaeologists across the Midwest have pooled their data and perspectives to produce this indispensable volume on the Native cultures of the Late Woodland period (approximately A.D. 300-1000). Sandwiched between the well-known Hopewellian and Mississippian eras of monumental mound construction, the Late Woodland period has received insufficient ...
This report details Late Archaic and Terminal Late Woodland (Emergent Mississippian) occupations. This site yielded a semi-subterranean house, short-term hunting/butchering camp, lithic artifacts, and other debitage providing new information regarding the dynamics of this critical transition period in the American Bottom.
The focus of this report is on Early Woodland and Middle Woodland relationships, settlement strategies and plant utilization within an isolated meander scar locality of the Mississippian River floodplain. The volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Middle to Late Woodland shift.
This analysis provides information about two completely excavated Mississippian farmsteads that are located at opposite ends of the American Bottom, one falling under the influence of Cahokia, the other in the domain of the Pulcher mound group.
Go-Kart North represents the first major Late Archaic, Titterington phase base camp excavated and dated in the American Bottom and is significant for its impressive knife and projectile point assemblage. The several hundred features excavated at the Dyroff-Levin sites represent part of an important terminal Late Archaic Prairie Lake phase base ...
This analysis details the results of investigations at the Missouri Pacific No. 2 site, one of the type sites for the American Bottom Late Archaic Prairie Lake phase (1200-600 B.C.). Excavators discovered nearly nine hundred features associated with a long-term Terminal Archaic occupation. In the American Bottom such base locales appear to cluster ...
This is the type site for the Sponemann phase (A.D. 750-800), a settlement created by non-American Bottom immigrants, which yielded the first significant evidence for maize, as well as a unique assemblage of chert tempered castellated vessels, keyhole structures and multiple community household clusters. This site presents the first evidence in ...
This is the type site in the American Bottom for both the Late Woodland, Mund phase (A.D. 450-600) and the Middle Woodland Cement Hollow phase (150 B.C.-150 A.D.) This volume is a must have for those interested in the detailed history of the Middle to Late Woodland transition in the American Bottom.
