Mississippian mound groups. Owl Creek, Thelma, and Bessemer all have rectangular flat-topped temple mounds and chronologies spanning the eleventh through early fourteenth centuries. Grog and shell tempered ceramics are found at all three sites indicating Mississippian settlement in the same locales as Late Woodland populations or adaptation of Mississippian shell tempered pottery by Woodland groups, scenarios similar to that of the Ackerman Unit (Chapter 10). Ian Brown analyzes Plaquemine pottery from the “Great Ravine at the Anna Site (22AD500)” south of the Mississippi Delta in Chapter 12. Initial finds in the ravine led Brown on a series of ventures for three decades, including analysis of a large sample of Mississippian ceramics. The assemblage is probably the result of ritual breaking during religious ceremonies and includes sherds from the northern Mississippi Delta and Moundville. The ravine wares are not typical of ceramics recovered from middens or mounds in the area, and the exotics were probably transported to Anna by individuals participating in festivities from early Mississippian to the protohistoric period. Chapter 13 by Jay Johnson and Edward Henry adds significant information to Colonial era Chickasaw occupation of northeast Mississippi. The small (140 m) South Thomas Street site produced early (Colonial) period Chickasaw pottery along with lithics. The Colonial lithics include small thumb nail scrapers along with British, French, and native made gun spalls (gunflints). None of the 83 glass beads predate 1700. Chapter 14 by Maria Schleidt covers the “Symbiotic Relationship between National Forests of Mississippi and the Civilian Conservation Corps.” It contributes to twentieth century activities in eastern Mississippi as it discusses the federally owned forest and the development of Civilian Conservation Corps within. A primary task of the Forest Service was to grow trees and prevent soil erosion. Due to economic recovery and looming prospects of war, the CCC was disbanded in June 1942. Honor is due to Sam Brookes who was a prime mover in recording the CCC camps as archaeological sites. Chapter 15 “Logging out the Delta” by Mary Evelyn Starr continues the timber story in western Mississippi. The Delta was thickly forested until 1880 when logging began on a small scale. Logs were moved by steam boat until railroads were constructed in 1902. Starr, who conducted test excavations at the saw mill town of Mish in Covington County, is a long-time friend of Sam Brookes, a connection that may have forged her career. The concluding paper (Chapter 16) by Patricia Galloway is “Brookes@Forest: Building Epistemic Community for Archaeological Research-In-Action.” Galloway presents Brookes’ accomplishments as a government archaeologist who developed a high degree of professionalism in the US Forest Service cultural resources program where he increased the data base and furthered careers of Forest archaeologists and those who moved to academic fields. In 1987 when Brookes became the new Heritage Program Manager, he was the sole archaeologist in the Mississippi Forest Service. By 1992 he had hired four archaeologists to manage cultural resources in the forest districts while taking responsibility himself for the fifth National Forest. Forest archaeologists not only practiced in their discipline but aided in controlled burns, pest control, and firefighting. They became not only part of the archaeology community but the Forest community as well. The Appendix is National recognition by the US Forest Service of “Samuel Brookes, Forest Archaeologist [sic], National Forest in Mississippi” for his accomplishments, many of which were detailed in this well-deserved festschrift.

史前晚期佛罗里达:密西西比世界边缘的考古学

密西西比土丘群。Owl Creek、Thelma 和 Bessemer 都有矩形平顶的庙宇土墩和跨度从 11 世纪到 14 世纪早期的年代。在所有三个地点都发现了熟料和贝壳回火陶瓷,表明密西西比人在与晚林地人口相同的地方定居,或者林地团体对密西西比贝壳回火陶器的适应,类似于阿克曼单位的情景(第 10 章)。伊恩·布朗在第 12 章中分析了密西西比三角洲南部“安娜遗址 (22AD500)”中的 Plaquemine 陶器。在峡谷中的初步发现促使布朗进行了一系列的冒险,包括对大量样本的分析密西西比陶瓷。这些组合可能是宗教仪式期间打破仪式的结果,包括来自密西西比三角洲北部和 Moundville 的碎片。峡谷中的陶器不是从该地区的山丘或土丘中回收的典型陶瓷,从密西西比早期到原始史时期,参加庆祝活动的个人可能会将这些外来物品运送到安娜。Jay Johnson 和 Edward Henry 撰写的第 13 章为殖民时代奇克索占领密西西比州东北部增加了重要信息。南托马斯街的小型 (140 m) 遗址出产了早期(殖民时期)奇克索陶器和石器。殖民时期的石器包括小拇指指甲刮刀以及英国、法国和本土制造的火炮 (gunflint)。83 个玻璃珠中没有一个早于 1700 年。Maria Schleidt 撰写的第 14 章涵盖了“密西西比州国家森林与平民保护团之间的共生关系”。它对 20 世纪密西西比州东部的活动做出了贡献,因为它讨论了联邦所有的森林和平民保护团在其中的发展。林务局的一项主要任务是种植树木和防止水土流失。由于经济复苏和战争迫在眉睫的前景,CCC 于 1942 年 6 月解散。荣誉归功于 Sam Brookes,他是将 CCC 营地记录为考古遗址的主要推动者。玛丽·伊夫林·斯塔尔 (Mary Evelyn Starr) 的第 15 章“登出三角洲”继续讲述密西西比西部的木材故事。直到 1880 年才开始小规模伐木,三角洲一直是茂密的森林。在 1902 年铁路建成之前,原木一直由蒸汽船运送。斯塔尔,在科文顿县的锯木厂镇米什进行试挖掘,是山姆布鲁克斯的老朋友,这种关系可能促成了她的职业生涯。Patricia Galloway 的结论性论文(第 16 章)是“Brookes@Forest:为行动中的考古研究建立认知共同体”。加洛韦介绍了布鲁克斯作为政府考古学家的成就,他在美国林务局文化资源计划中培养了高度的专业精神,在该计划中,他增加了数据基础,促进了森林考古学家和那些转向学术领域的人的职业生涯。1987 年,当布鲁克斯成为新的遗产项目经理时,他是密西西比州林务局唯一的考古学家。到1992年,他聘请了四名考古学家来管理林区的文化资源,同时自己负责第五个国家森林。森林考古学家不仅在他们的学科中实践,而且在控制烧伤、害虫控制和消防方面提供帮助。他们不仅成为考古界的一部分,也成为森林社区的一部分。附录是美国林务局对“密西西比州国家森林森林考古学家塞缪尔·布鲁克斯 [原文如此]”的国家认可,表彰他的成就,其中许多成就在这本当之无愧的节日文字中进行了详细介绍。
