Abstract

ABSTRACT In 1940, Gretchen Cutter and a WPA crew conducted excavations in the Mound Wio5 at the Fisher site in Will County, Illinois. We examined those materials as part of our reanalysis of the Fisher site excavations by George Langford and the University of Chicago. The mound’s material culture correlates with the Des Plaines phase but contains strong connections to the east, especially with Albee phase mortuary practices. Calibrated 14C dates and Bayesian modeling place the Des Plaines phase as contemporary with the Mound Wio5 mortuary’s primary use during the ninth to eleventh centuries. There is isotopic evidence of a mixed C3/C4 diet with some maize consumption. Mound Wio5 represents the only Terminal Late Woodland collective mortuary facility currently known in northeastern Illinois. The identification of such multigenerational communal Terminal Late Woodland mortuary practices lends support to the contention that they provided the cultural base for the emergence of the distinctive Langford Tradition accretional mortuary mounds.
伊利诺斯东北部晚期林地社会的丧葬习俗、文化背景、贝叶斯年代学和玉米消费
摘要1940年,格雷琴·卡特(Gretchen Cutter)和WPA的一名工作人员在伊利诺伊州威尔县费舍尔遗址的Wio5丘进行了挖掘。作为乔治·朗福德和芝加哥大学对费舍尔遗址发掘的重新分析的一部分,我们检查了这些材料。土堆的物质文化与Des Plaines时期相关,但与东部有着密切的联系,尤其是与Albee时期的太平间实践。校准的14C日期和贝叶斯建模将Des Plaines阶段与Mound Wio5太平间在9至11世纪的主要用途放在同一时代。有同位素证据表明C3/C4混合饮食与一些玉米消费。Mound Wio5是伊利诺伊州东北部目前已知的唯一一个Terminal Late Woodland集体太平间设施。这种多代同堂的Terminal Late Woodland太平间做法的发现支持了这样一种论点,即它们为独特的Langford Tradition增生式太平间土堆的出现提供了文化基础。
