122. Early Prehistory Of Alaska A region so large (one fifth the size of the continental United States), and diverse ecologically, physiologically, and culturally that any synthesis must be skeletal in nature. Provided here is a general description of the broad units of the cultural chronology of the area. http://www.nps.gov/akso/akarc/early.htm

Archaeological Overview of Alaska At the time of European contact, the coast of Alaska north of the Alaska Peninsula was occupied by people adapted to life along winter ice-bound coasts. They spoke two distinct Eskimoan languages. One was spoken eastward as far as Hudson's Bay; and a second was spoken by the Pacific coastal people of the region around Kodiak island and Prince William Sound, as well as around Norton Sound. From the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and westward throughout the Aleutian Islands, were found the Aleuts, who existed by open-water hunting and fishing and whose language was related to Eskimoan in an Eskaleutian language stock. The Alaskan interior was home to broadly adapted hunters and fishers of the boreal forest. Several distinct languages were spoken by these people, all part of the large Athabaskan family of languages, stretching throughout the boreal forest. The northern Northwest Coast was the home of the Eyak, Tlingit, and Haida, whose languages are sometimes included with Athabaskan in a Na-Dene linguistic phylum. Also dominating the landscape of Alaska is its hydrography. The largest river system is the Yukon and its tributaries, the Porcupine, the Tanana, and the Koyukon. The Yukon crosses Alaska in a WSW direction, emptying into the Bering Sea. Crossing the North Slope is the Colville River, which originates in the Brooks Range and terminates in the Arctic Ocean. In northwest Alaska are the Noatak and Kobuk Rivers with their numerous tributaries. The Kuskokwim River, draining the large Kuskokwim Delta, runs south of the Yukon River and also empties into the Bering Sea south of the Yukon and just north of the Alaska Peninsula. The southcentral region is marked by the Susitna River draining into Cook Inlet and the Copper River, which empties into Prince William Sound. Further south is the Alsek-Tatshenshini system, which drains into the Gulf of Alaska by way of Dry Bay.

123. Texas Prehistory Article, with bibliography, on the study of prehistorical people and cultures in the state. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcarson/prehistory.html

Texas Prehistory by Thomas R. Hester and Ellen Sue Turner Texas prehistory extends back at least 11,200 years and is witnessed by a variety of Indian cultural remains. The "historic" era began with the shipwreck of Pánfilo de Narváez's expedition and the subsequent account written by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Indian culture was not modified, as best we can tell, by Cabeza de Vaca or by the later seventeenth-century French and Spanish exploration. Indeed, the peoples the explorers found were not severely affected until the advent of the Spanish missions and the incursion of Apaches at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Broader views of the ancient past came from the excavations, many of them supervised by A. T. Jackson on behalf of Pearce, of the Work Projects Administration during the depression years of the 1930s. Again, however, techniques were poor in most cases and little interpretation was done. Early museum research was conducted by the Witte Museum at the Shumla Caves in the lower Pecos region in the early 1930s; in addition, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum was established in 1932 and carried out research in the Panhandle of Texas. The research of Alex D. Krieger at the University of Texas from 1939 to 1956 served to integrate some of the WPA work of the 1930s. His publications provided thorough site reports and syntheses of broad aspects of the archeological record. His research brought national attention to the prehistory of Texas. Krieger's influence culminated in the first major synthesis of Texas prehistory, published in 1954. Also of national interest in the 1940s and early 1950s was the work on "early man" in the New World (the Paleo-Indian period) by E. H. Sellards and Glen Evans of the Texas Memorial Museum. Great strides in learning the cultural history of ancient Texas came in the 1960s, when archeological teams carried out excavations in proposed reservoir basins along many Texas rivers. Notable among these was the work at Amistad Reservoir on the Rio Grande.

126. Louisiana Prehistory: Paelo-Indian, Meso-Indian, And Neo-Indian History, tools, and weapons of the PaleoIndian, Meso-Indian, and Neo-Indian ancient tribes of the Louisiana area. http://www.crt.state.la.us/crt/ocd/arch/laprehis/paleo.htm

Twelve thousand years ago, the average temperature in the southeastern United States was five to 10 degrees cooler than it is now, and the climate was drier. The landscape was covered with oak and pine forests mixed with open grasslands. Some familiar animals such as rabbits and deer lived in the area, but many other animals that have become extinct in North America were also common then. Among them were the camel, giant armadillo, short-faced bear, long-horned bison, mastodon, tapir, ground sloth, saber-toothed tiger, mammoth, dire wolf, and horse (the horse was later reintroduced by the Spanish). Early Paleo-Indian Point The earliest Indians in Louisiana, called Paleo-Indians, hunted these animals using spears tipped with stone points. These lanceolate points were two to six inches long and had bases that were either straight or rounded inward. The Paleo-Indians in Louisiana made their points from carefully selected varieties of stone that appear to have come from neighboring regions in Texas and Arkansas. A stone point was fastened directly to a wooden shaft with hide, fiber, or an adhesive substance, or it was attached to a bone section that was connected to the spear shaft.

The story of our past can be found in clues from a wide range of sources everything from details of DNA to evocative murals in Ice Age caves. This is why the scientific quest for human origins requires the curiosity of a philosopher coupled with the skills of a skeptical detective. This course will introduce you to the study of human evolution a branch of anthropology which seeks to understand human uniqueness by studying the human past using scientific methods. We can learn alot about ourselves by studying the behavior of living primates, like chimpanzees. And we can look at fossils and archaeological sites for the evidence that reveals when and where humans first began to behave like "odd animals:" to walk upright, eat and cook unusual foods, invent tools and art, speak languages, and enjoy the wide range of social and cultural practices that we consider so "human" today.

The Hisatsinom and the Hohokam Over a thousand years ago in the Southwest, two great cultures lived in relative peace and harmony, supporting thousands where today only ghosts and park rangers dwell. These were the Hohokam people of Central Arizona, the ancestors of the Pima and Tohono O'odham Indians, and the Hisatsinom of the Four Corners, the ancestors of the Hopi, Zuni, and Pueblo Indians. The Hisatsinom are known to many by their Navajo name, Anasazi. As part of my bibliographies on these great peoples, I've created a hotlist of sites devoted to them. If you have any additions, I'm glad to receive them via e-mail . Enjoy.
