Man and Environment in Northeastern Kansas: The Hillsdale Lake Project. Volume 1.
Abstract
This report summarizes all of the archaeological and architectural investigations performed to mitigate the impact of the creation of Hillsdale Lake in Miami and Johnson Countries, Kansas. This work, supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, and performed by the Department of Anthropology of Wichita State University, produced information regrading societies ranging in age from late Archaic through historic Euro-American. Particularly important contributions include innovative means of reconstructing the pre-historic environment, a predictive model for site locations which is probably generalizable to other regions, the use of thermoluminescent dating of heated cherts to date a late Archaic site, new information on Nebo Hill phase trade relationships, the definition of the Hertha phase--a Late Woodland manifestation of eastern Kansas and western Missouri, clarification of Pomona focus settlement patterns, a new suggestion regarding the origin of the Steed-Kisker complex, and the recognition of Great Bend Aspect hunting camps well to the east of the previously known Great Bend range.
