Archeological site 140S347, the Cow-Killer site, is an important multicomponent prehistoric archeological site that was discovered during removal of fill from a highway borrow area in conjunction with the realignment of highway U.S. 75 in Osage county, Kansas. The site is located on the left or north side of the Marais des Cygnes river on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer land just downstream from Melvern dam. Cultural materials attributable to at least three temporally distinct prehistoric cultures have been identified in the site area. The earliest cultural level represented is an Archaic period component that was buried 9 to 12 1/2 ft below the original ground surface. Test excavations performed in this deposit revealed the presence of a stratified level which yielded stone lined fire hearths, basin-shaped and trash-filled pits, postmolds, chipped and ground stone tools, animal bone, stone debitage, charcoal, a few charred seeds and burned earth. On the basis of distinctive chipped stone bifaces and points, an affiliation with the Munkers Creek phase is suggested. A date of circa 3,000 B.C. is suggested. The second oldest cultural zone recognized, and the focus of this report, is a stratified Plains Woodland component of the Greenwood phase which is dated within the latter part of the Early Ceramic period.
Synthesizes what is known about the cultural (human) history of Kansas from 10,000 B.C. to the nineteenth century. This significant contribution to Plains archaeology provides the reader with the first comprehensive overview of the subject in nearly fifty years.
Core of a course in regional geomorphology around which each teacher may pattern a course to fit his particular preferences. Also a useful reference for persons who are not specialists in regional geomorphology but who wish to familiarize themselves with the regional geomorphology of our country.
George Frison and Dennis Stanford's Agate Basin monograph is not only a classic of Plains paleoindian archaeology, but also of multidisciplinary research, geoarchaeology, zooarchaeology, and experimental archaeology. Lucid presentation of meticulously excavated and analyzed sediments, bones, and artifacts convey an unmatched sense of the sights, sounds, and smells of Paleoindian life on the High Plains-from brutal winters and blistering summers, to killing and butchering bison, and to making lethal weaponry. As Matthew Hill writes in his new prologue, "Not merely an important volume of the Frison canon, Agate Basin stands as a foundational document in modern Americanist archaeology and a major accomplishment in American science." Originally published by Academic Press in 1982.
Chris Heuertz believes that any true path to spiritual sight ought to be simple. While he's not a contemplative and hardly a mystic, Chris has found, in the Bible and in his work with impoverished people, evidence of a simple spirituality. This way of humility, community, simplicity, submission and brokenness will help you see--no matter how dark things get.
