Here I explore Pawnee vessel function and ceramic persistence during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries through measurements and use-alteration analysis of 15 reconstructed jars from five Pawnee or ancestral Pawnee sites. These data indicate that ancestral Pawnee households stopped designing or using ceramics for cooking by the end of the Lower Loup phase, approximately AD 1750, although ceramic vessels were used for liquid storage and ritual practice into the early 1800s. The reasons why Pawnee women stopped cooking in ceramic vessels in the mid-eighteenth century, perhaps a century earlier than Arikara and Hidatsa women to the north, are probably linked to epidemic impacts and economic decisions about bison hide production for European trade.","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"65 1","pages":"203 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00320447.2019.1707852","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42803180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AD 1300. The structure had burned, preserving a rich array of plant remains and insects. Elm was the principal wood used in lodge construction and hophornbeam (ironwood) was also heavily employed. Maize (mostly 10-row) was plentiful, and common beans also were present. Over 3,600 goosefoot (Chenopodium cf. berlandieri) seeds were recovered, most of which derive from a domesticated variety. Other abundant native domesticated plants included sumpweed and tobacco. Charred insect larvae, mostly darkling beetles (false wireworms), were associated with food remains in the bottom of an open storage pit and on the lodge floor. We conclude that the lodge’s residents vacated and intentionally burned the structure. Insect infestation may have contributed to the residents’ decision to burn the lodge, but burning also might have formed part of a closing ritual associated with decommissioning the dwelling.","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"65 1","pages":"43 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00320447.2019.1585409","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43313901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the spread of the technological knowledge necessary to produce red ware, using petrographic data to evaluate local production in Initial Middle Missouri sites. Samples were drawn from Phipps (13CK21; Mill Creek culture, northwest Iowa) and Mitchell (39DV2; Lower James River area, southeastern South Dakota). Granite-tempered, red-slipped ceramics were manufactured in the Initial Middle Missouri region, but were apparently produced at a limited number of sites. The red-slipped pottery at Phipps was not made at Phipps, but could have originated from Big Sioux Mill Creek communities to the west. Neither Little Sioux nor Big Sioux Mill Creek potters made the red-slipped ceramics at Mitchell. Our results suggest the uneven distribution (and perhaps limited number) of potters in the region who could reproduce red-slipped ceramics with local materials. At least some of these potters could have moved from Upper Mississippian communities as marriage partners during other regional exchanges and interactions.","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"65 1","pages":"25 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00320447.2018.1556470","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41548416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Great Plains Geology","authors":"D. May","doi":"10.1080/00320447.2019.1687075","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00320447.2019.1687075","url":null,"abstract":"Great Plains Geology is one of two books published so far in the Discover the Great Plains Series; the other isGreat Plains Indians by David J.Wishart. Robert Diffendal’s intended audience for the book is “anyone with a broad interest in geology and some general education in science, professional geologists and geographers wanting to become more familiar with the region, and students, farmers, ranchers, and K-12 educators who want to know about the Great Plains and its geological development.” While archaeologists are not listed among those for whom the book is targeted, Diffendal does provide some geological context for a few important Paleoindian sites in the Great Plains. Diffendal has divided his book into three main sections after the Introduction. His Introduction contains a full-color geological time scale with major Earth impacts by asteroids, times of large extinctions, and glaciations noted on the scale. The time scale is his background for discussing the evolution of the Great Plains in Chapter 2 and rock formations at 57 sites across the Great Plains from Alberta, Canada to southwestern Texas in Chapter 3. His introduction also includes a discussion of more than 50 geographic definitions of the Great Plains. In Chapter 1, “What is the Great Plains” (12 pages), Diffendal argues for his own boundaries of the Great Plains while generally following Charles B. Hunt’s (1974) definition of physiographic regions. Diffendal uses “uplift, earthquake faulting, bending and folding of rock layers, volcanism, or a combination of these processes” to define his 10 sections of the Great Plains. Two of his 10 sections are subdivided. One subdivision is based on glaciated versus unglaciated, and the other on abrupt, yet small in areal extent, uplift of hills (Cypress Hills of Alberta). Chapter 2, “Geologic History of the Great Plains” (20 pages), addresses tectonics, sea-level changes, glaciation, and accompanying drainage changes in the Great Plains. Chapter 2 is a succinct introduction to the geologic development of the Great Plains. Diffendal graphically outlines, at two times during the Upper Cretaceous Period, the area of the Western Interior Seaway that stretched from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This provides a large part of his background for the sedimentary rocks found in the Great Plains. Chapter 3 ofGreat Plains Geology, “Visiting the Great Plains”, highlights 57 sites that illustrate the geology and development of the Great Plains. Some are national parks, more are national monuments, and some are state parks or recreation areas. Very few are on private land, so most are readily accessible by the public. Diffendal labels each of the 57 sites with one of more of the following features: geological, paleontological, archaeological, and ecotourism. Interestingly, the first and last sites of Diffendal’s survey of locations in the Great Plains are archaeological sites. He begins his discussion with the Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump site ","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"65 1","pages":"274 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00320447.2019.1687075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47679026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
