The Anthropology Program at The University of Southern Mississippi Ed Jackson Professor of Anthropology (Ph.D. University of Michigan, 1986) Dissertation Sedentism and Hunter-Gatherer Adaptations in the Lower Mississippi Valley: Subsistence Strategies during the Poverty Point Period . Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. (1986) Research Interests Prehistory of the Southeastern United States.. My research and teaching area of specialization is the prehistory of the southeastern United States, particularly in subsistence practices, ritual integration, and political and economic organization of middle range societies ranging from the Middle Archaic to Mississippian Period. I am particularly interested in exploring how prehistoric animal use reflects economic as well as social organization in these societies. Extensive local fieldwork in collaboration with my graduate students has produced significant advances in our understanding of the prehistory of southeast Mississippi. In addition to my own research efforts and teaching responsibilities, I am editor for the Mississippi Archaeological Association, publisher of Mississippi Archaeology Prehistoric Subsistence . My current research focuses on the zooarchaeological record of the Moundville chiefdom . Susan Scott and I recently finished analyzing faunal samples from elite mound contexts at Moundville, and I am currently working on assemblages from two Moundville-phase farmsteads, the Grady Bilbo site (1TU66) and the Gilliam site (1TU904), all projects in cooperation with Vernon J. Knight at the University of Alabama. I am interested in the cultural rules that dictate patterns of animal procurement and consumption, particularly in the context of ritual activities. Recent investigations at other sites, including the Middle Woodland Marksville site and the Middle Archaic Watson Brake site both in Louisiana, have offered opportunities to explore the range of prehistoric faunal use patterns in the mid south.

164. Toltec Essay overviewing the Toltec, with images and links. http://emuseum.mnsu.edu/prehistory/latinamerica/meso/cultures/toltec.html

The Rise of an Empire The Toltec Empire appeared in the Central Mexico area in the 10th century AD, when they established their central city of Tula Little is known directly about the Toltecs because the Aztecs plundered the Tula ruins for building materials for their nearby capital, destroying most of the historical evidence that remained. Much of what we know about the Toltecs comes from legends carried on about them by later cultures. The Toltec Empire was the first of the extreme militaristic cultures in the region that used their might to dominate their neighbors, a trend associated with the later cultures in the region, especially the Aztecs. Eventually the empire spread across most of Mexico, Guatemala, and as far south as the Yucatan, as they conquered lands previously controlled by the Mayans. Art and Entertainment The Toltec Empire and leaders created an unmatched mystique in the minds of the Central American people. The Toltec leaders were thought of as being alongside deities. Later cultures often revered them and copied their legends, art, buildings and religion. Many future rulers of other cultures, including Mayan leaders and Aztec emperors, claimed to be descended from the Toltecs. The Toltecs sported the familiar ball game played by many central American cultures and may have sacrificed of the losers. Toltecs are known for their somewhat rougher form of architecture, a form that would later inspire the Aztec builders. Toltec art is characterized by walls covered with snakes and skulls, images of a reclining Chak-mool (red jaguar), and the colossal statues of the Atlantes, men carved from great columns.

At present Feodor-Lynen-Research Fellow of the Humboldt-foundation (in cooperation with the Department of German) and Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Archaeology, University of Bristol. My research interests cover the Later Prehistory in Continental Europe. Neolithic, Copper Age and Early Bronze Age, especially the 3rd Millenium BC as a whole Europewide, are my particular areas of interest in Archaeology. As a result of my extensive fieldwork as a student, and my being the scientist on the Niederkaina project in the Dresden Landesamt, I am also engaged on working on the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (Hallstatt period) in Central and Eastern Central Europe. Further research projects, particularly those covering the 3rd Mill. BC, are in state of preparation. In progress is also the editing (together with Martin Bartelheim) of the conference-papers of the sessions 'Continuity-Discontinuity: Transition Periods in European Prehistory' at the former EAA-conferences in Lisbon and Esslingen.

174. Faces At Bates | Bruce Bourque Profile of this Bates College Senior Lecturer. Research includes the prehistory of Maine. http://www.bates.edu/faculty-bourque.xml

About Bates Academics Admissions Student Life ... News Release Archive Bruce Bourque tells the story of the first Mainers There's no shortage of wrong ideas about Maine's first inhabitants. But that's bound to change, thanks to a book recently published by Bruce Bourque, senior lecturer in anthropology at Bates. He is the primary author of "Twelve Thousand Years: American Indians in Maine" (University of Nebraska Press), a history of native Mainers from the earliest Paleo-Indians to the natives who greeted the European explorers. The book sums up Bourque's Maine research to date. In 1970 he began an archaeological project on Penobscot Bay's Fox Islands that has surveyed more than 200 sites so far and excavated 35. Bourque is also chief archaeologist and curator of ethnology at the Maine State Museum. "Twelve Thousand Years" challenges the image of pre-Colonial Indian history as static. Instead, Bourque says, it was complex and dynamic. Maine's first inhabitants were "human, and their communities ebbed and flowed in their numbers and shifted geographic relationships. And we haven't understood that until just recently." Bourque notes that his students are curious about native Mainers. "From them I get repeatedly, 'Why don't they teach us this stuff in school?' And I say, 'Because my book isn't out yet,' " he laughs. "But my book is now out, so hopefully that will begin to change."

177. Prehistory In Thailand Synopsis if Thai prehistory. http://www.cs.ait.ac.th/wutt/prehi.html

Prehistory in Thailand Tens of thousand years ago, this land was covered with lush tropical rain forests. The fertile land, temperate climatic conditions, abundent natural resources attracted early settlers and migrants throughtout the subsequent periods, even up to the present. Rich cultures amalgamated into distinct life styles. Emerging out of a thousand years of consciously striving for unity were the T'ai people. City states soon unified into an independent kingdom. Emergent also was a distinct culture known as Thai. Stone tools and implements of prehistoric man dating to the Paleolithic Period have been found throughout this country. Over 10,000 years ago, man lived near the waterways in the north and central Thailand. Archaeological evidence of Neolithic settlements has been discovered in an area covering no less than 40 provinces. They include tools and decorative objects made of flint, bone and shells. Primitive paintings dating to this period exist in a number of caves. Metal works, both bronze and iron, appeared almost simultaneously some 2,700 years ago. A part of prehistory in Thailand has become a subject for intensive study shedding new light on the evoluation of man in southeast Asia. "Ban Chiang" used to be the name of a small village in Udonthani Province. Since the discovery that this modern settlement had been founded on top of an area rich in prehistoric archaeological evidence, the name has become well known worldwide and synonymous with an important prehistoric culture.
