Man and Environment in Northeastern Kansas: The Hillsdale Lake Project. Volume 3.

Abstract

This study investigated archeological and architectural sites at the Hillsdale Lake project in eastern Kansas. Investigation was directed toward the recovery of data pertinent to the identification of local cultures and time periods, the development of settlement patterns for each culture, the reconstruction of paleo-environments, and the development of models of ecological adaption for cultural systems through time. This report provides new information on Nebo Hill trade relationships, the definition of the Hertha Phase a Late Woodland manifestation and on the Pomona focus, Steed-Kisker complex and Great Bend Aspect. The architectural study focused on the development of a model describing the effects of the area's environment on the vernacular architecture and the chronology of types of structures in the project area. In addition, site types were cataloged. This volume discusses 35 sites.
