The horse is central to many Indigenous cultures across the American Southwest and Great Plains. However, when how horses were first integrated into lifeways remain contentious, with extant models derived largely from colonial records. We conducted an interdisciplinary study of assemblage historic archaeological remains, integrating genomic, isotopic, radiocarbon, paleopathological evidence. Archaeological modern North show strong Iberian genetic affinities, later influx British sources, but...
The archaeological record offers the opportunity to infer effects of regional climatic shifts on species distributions and human-animal interactions. In Alaska's temperate Aleutian Islands, suggests that Neoglacial climate phase (ca. 4700 − 2500 rcyr BP) was significantly colder region likely supported sea ice ice-dependent animals. Previous analyses have identified polar bear (Ursus maritimus) remains in sites Unalaska Bay, which been used range expansion significant changes during this...
This article examines the extent to which adoption of horse created a transition in modes production from hunting and gathering nomadic pastoralism by tracing horse's impact on Blackfoot settlement patterns landscape use during Precontact Postcontact periods Northwestern Plains. While changes techniques, raiding frequencies, certain social implications such as status wealth differentiation have been studied an ethnohistoric perspective, less work has done trace subtle that may directly...
Advances built into recent sUASs (drones) offer a compelling possibility for field-based data collection in logistically challenging and GPS-denied environments. sUASs-based photogrammetry generates 3D models of features landscapes, used extensively archaeology as well other field sciences. Until recently, navigation has been limited by the expertise pilot, objects, like trees, vertical or complex environments, such cliffs, create significant risks to successful documentation. This article...
Abstract The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes have a long history of occupation in what is now known as Oklahoma. This includes evidence habitations along Camp Creek Sugar near Anadarko Caddo County. Here peoples camped, built grass houses arbors, held social gatherings leading up to following the passing General Allotment Act 1887. After allotment, communal camp dance grounds were especially important focal points for community building. These places, such ichaskhah ground discussed this...
This article presents the results of an ethnographic survey land utilization in Niobrara National Scenic River (NIOB) and Missouri Recreational (MNRR) districts completed for Park Service as part their ongoing Ethnographic Program. It focuses particularly on Ponca, Omaha, Yankton, Santee Sioux tribes, each whom have past continue to maintain unique cultural ties riverways. The broad landscape approach used this study facilitates exploration connections between resources (both natural),...
This article presents an analysis of the bison assemblage recovered from excavations at Boarding School site (24GL302), located in Glacier County, Montana. Excavations took place following inadvertent discovery a large bone bed uncovered during foundation construction for new school by Bureau Indian Affairs. The represents contexts associated with both adjacent Late Precontact period kill first excavated Thomas Kehoe 1950s and later occupation its use as boarding Blackfoot children half...
Programs of forced settlement and assimilation during the Reservation or Resettlement period disrupted many aspects Niitsitapi lifeways. At same time, however, they also strengthened identity Blackfoot people as resisted absorption into Euro-American culture. This persistence is seen in continued use adoration for horses. While elements nomadic life were taken away late nineteenth early twentieth centuries, there emerged a new horse culture adapted settled life. Through consultation with...
