Book Description
The "First men in the Ohio" is a new idea in combining both technical information with an interesting presentation. I have brought a new focus to otherwise highly detailed commentary, and hopefully made it an interesting read for the accomplished student of history, and the new collector / researcher of related facts. In this first of two Volumes you will get acquainted with the Ohio River valley, which is the focus of my effort. It is within this river system that the most important Native American societies were founded and grew into a vast Woodland Empire. The connected river systems were just a critical part of their world as they are today. Goods and materials were moved throughout the Mid West United States on a regular basis. Flint from Flint Ridge Ohio and other sources of workable cherts were traded to most of North America. Cargoes of shells, copper, minerals, and native hard woods were just a few of the raw and finished materials that joined the list of trade goods that moved along the water ways to the farthest corners of this realm. The first men that came thru this region were "hunter-gatherers", they moved with the herds of Bison, caribou, elk, and the occasional Mammoths that were grazing along the tundra style landscape, beside the retreating glaciers. Their stone tools and camp hearths are the only record of their passing. As times and landscape changed, these hunters began to settle into a more defined life style that allowed the discipline of civilization and communities to grow. It is from these small steps that the great societies of the "Adena", and "Hopewell" were born. Mystics, artisans, agricultural developement, and leadership walked with these people they were developing into a series of densely populated centers like "Angel Mounds, Fort Ancient, Fort Hill,and Chakoia", all these sites became centers of art, & industry, and their form of political power. The Mid West became the cross roads of this empire, and this is part of their story.

Mississippian Beginnings
Author: Gregory D. WilsonPublisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 1683401468
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Using fresh evidence and nontraditional ideas, the contributing authors of Mississippian Beginnings reconsider the origins of the Mississippian culture of the North American Midwest and Southeast (A.D. 1000–1600). Challenging the decades-old opinion that this culture evolved similarly across isolated Woodland popu¬lations, they discuss signs of migrations, missionization, pilgrimages, violent conflicts, long-distance exchange, and other far-flung entanglements that now appear to have shaped the early Mississippian past. Presenting recent fieldwork from a wide array of sites including Cahokia and the American Bottom, archival studies, and new investigations of legacy collections, the contributors interpret results through contemporary perspectives that emphasize agency and historical contingency. They track the various ways disparate cultures across a sizeable swath of the continent experienced Mississippianization and came to share simi¬lar architecture, pottery, subsistence strategies, sociopolitical organization, iconography, and religion. Together, these essays provide the most comprehensive examination of early Mississippian culture in over thirty years. A volume in the Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P. Bullen Series

Pages : 358
Book Description
A wide-ranging and accessible introduction to the origins and histories of the first agricultural populations in many different parts of the world This fully revised and updated second edition of First Farmers examines the origins of food production across the world and documents the expansions of agricultural populations from source regions during the past 12,000 years. It commences with the archaeological records from the multiple homelands of agriculture, and extends into discussions that draw on linguistic and genomic information about the human past, featuring new findings from the last ten years of research. Through twelve chapters, the text examines the latest evidence and leading theories surrounding the early development of agricultural practices through data drawn from across the anthropological discipline—primarily archaeology, comparative linguistics, and biological anthropology—to present a cohesive history of early farmer migration. Founded on the author's insights from his research into the agricultural prehistory of East and Southeast Asia—one of the best focus areas for the teaching of prehistoric archaeology—this book offers an engaging account of how prehistoric humans settled new landscapes. The second edition has been thoroughly updated with many new maps and illustrations that reflect the multidisciplinary knowledge of the present day. Authored by a leading scholar with wide-ranging experience across the fields of anthropology and archaeology, First Farmers, Second Edition includes information on: The early farming dispersal hypothesis in current perspective, plus operational considerations regarding the origins and dispersals of agriculture The archaeological evidence for the origins and spreads of agriculture in the Eurasian, African and American continents The histories of the language families that spread with the first farming populations, and the evidence from biological anthropology and ancient DNA that underpins our modern knowledge of these migrations Drawing evidence from across the sub-disciplines of anthropology to present a cohesive and exciting analysis of an important subject in the study of human population history, Farmers First, Second Edition is an important work of scholarship and an excellent introduction to multiple methods of anthropological and archaeological inquiry for the beginner student in prehistoric anthropology and archaeology, human migration, archaeology of East and Southeast Asia, agricultural history, comparative anthropology, and more disciplines across the anthropology curriculum.

Gathering Together

ISBN: 0300180616

Pages : 345
Book Description
Weaving Indian and Euro-American histories together in this groundbreaking book, Sami Lakomäki places the Shawnee people, and Native peoples in general, firmly at the center of American history. The book covers nearly three centuries, from the years leading up to the Shawnees’ first European contacts to the post–Civil War era, and demonstrates vividly how the interactions between Natives and newcomers transformed the political realities and ideas of both groups. Examining Shawnee society and politics in new depth, and introducing not only charismatic warriors like Blue Jacket and Tecumseh but also other leaders and thinkers, Lakomäki explores the Shawnee people’s debates and strategies for coping with colonial invasion. The author refutes the deep-seated notion that only European colonists created new nations in America, showing that the Shawnees, too, were engaged in nation building. With a sharpened focus on the creativity and power of Native political thought, Lakomäki provides an array of insights into Indian as well as American history.
