    Kampsville Archeological Center
    Click here to go to The Center For American Archeology's Web Site. For over forty years, the Center for American Archeology (CAA) has pioneered the development of contemporary archeology in the Midwest, leading to many advances in the methods archeologists use to explore the past. Many have termed the area the "Nile of North America," as Kampsville is centered in the heart of one of the world's most remarkable archeological regions. Still fixed in the public mind are the ten years of excavation at Koster, 1968 to 1978, heavily chronicled by the national news media as one of North America's most important archeological explorations. The Koster Site has since been closed, but the Center continues its research and teaching with year-round activities. Here throughout the valley where the Illinois joins the Mississippi, the Center helps to unfold the unbroken record of nearly 10,000 years of human habitation on this continent. Its mission is to help communicate the unwritten story of earlier Americans' lifeways, accomplishments, and changing natural environment - a legacy for this and future generations.

    Students will understand the following:
    Both individual families and whole cultures learn about their pasts by collecting and analyzing stories and artifacts. Not all archaeological finds readily reveal their history to archeologists. You may want to ask students to bring family heirlooms to class (see Procedures). World map for reference as students tell family stories

    Atlatl Archeology
    Precision Atlatl and Dart Systems
    By: Bob "Atlatl Bob" Perkins
    O ver 12,000 years ago, hunters tracking herds of the last ice age across the frozen tundra of what is now the state of Alaska became the first immigrants to enter the North American continent. These hunter-gatherers brought with them a weapon that reigned supreme among them and their descendents for thousands of years to come, the Atlatl. It was the first true weapons system developed by humans, originating in Europe over 30,000 years ago and spreading to every corner of the globe that humans occupied. In fact the Atlatl and Dart were used and improved upon for so long by our ancient ancestors that, comparatively speaking, the Bow and Arrow can be considered a recent development in projectile technology. So powerful and effective was the Atlatl that scientist and scholars speculate that it, along with the overkill tactics so common to the human race, caused the extinction of the Woolly Mammoth in North America before the end of the ice age.
    Largely replaced by the Bow and Arrow around a birth of Christ, it was still being used by some Native Americans during the age of discovery, 500 years ago. When Columbus encountered natives using the Atlatl during his voyages to the New World, Europeans who had long forgotten the weapon, soon became familiar with it again. These encounters were most certainly with the business end of the weapon, the European wondering, "what was that?", just before dying.

    Alberta Archeology
    BACKGROUND
    Columbus was not the first to discover North America, it was the Native Peoples that were already here. In fact, both the Basques and the Vikings beat Mr. Columbus too. There are now 3 main theories for the settling of the Americas, with the 3rd one being considered out to lunch and under serious dispute in the year 2000. 1) Early Americans came over the Bering Land Bridge from Asia and walked there way down through post-ice age corridors that opened up. This would have them walking down through Alberta, and early traces of campsites and such support this. 2) Early Americans went by boat and sailed down the Pacific Coast all the way down to South America, with migration inland along the way. Extremely early settlement sites in Brazil support this theory well as the sites are too early to have been just walked to. Sea travel along the coast spreads people much faster and further. 3) Early Americans came from the Europe after the last ice age by boat, following the edge of the ice sheet across the Atlantic. Some artifacts such as stylistically similar pre-Clovis spear points have been found in both Europe (Old World) and the Americas (New World) support this theory. The spear points were supposed to be a Old World thing only. Clovis points are the first distinctly North American projectile point for spears.

    Did you know-
    • Archeology is not the study of dinosaurs, or rocks, or fossils-archeology is the study of past human cultures.
    • People came to North America over an Arctic land bridge across the Bering Strait, and they came to Texas thousands of years before Columbus arrived in the New World.
    • American Indians did not use the bow and arrow until about 1500 years ago-earlier hunters used spears.
    • Some stone points that people call arrowheads are really spear points.
    • The horse was introduced to American Indians by the Spaniards after A.D. 1500.
    • Bison (or American Buffalo) were hunted by American Indians afoot-long before the horse was introduced to the New World.
    • Changes in climate caused the extinction or many large mammals-such as a large bison (much larger than the bison of historic times) and mammoth-and this caused changes in the lifeways of prehistoric people for thousands of years.

    General Located in Western South America, Peru encompasses an area of 1,285,216 sq km (496,225 sq miles).  The last general population census in 1999 yielded a total number of  25,232,000 Peruvians living in population density of  20.0 per sq km. Peru is a large, mountainous country on the Pacific coast of South America. It has borders with Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil and Bolivia to the east, and Chile to the south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west. There are three natural zones, running roughly north to south: Costa (Coast), Sierra (the Highlands) and Selva (Amazonian Jungle). The Costa region, which contains Lima (the capital) is a narrow coastal plain consisting of large tracts of desert broken by fertile valleys. The cotton, sugar and rice plantations and most of the so far exploited oil fields lie in this area. The Sierra contains the Andes, with peaks over 6000m (20,000ft), most of the country's mineral resources (silver, zinc, lead, copper and gold) and the greater part of its livestock. The

    Forsaking khakis for genes, these students have entered a new academic field called "archeogenetics." Each has staked out territory across the United States and into Mexico to collectively answer questions about when humans first came to the New World and how and when they dispersed. The UC Davis program, directed by ancient-DNA expert David Glenn Smith, is one of the two biggest in the nation studying the prehistory of Native Americans with test tubes and gels rather than an archeologist’s pick and sifter.
    "Most people think of studying DNA as a way of solving problems of the future, but we’re using it to shed light on events in the past," said Ripan Malhi ’94, M.A. ’98, Ph.D. ’01, the second student to finish his doctorate with ancient DNA studies in Smith’s fledgling program.

    Syllabus Instructor: Paul D. Welch Office hrs: MW 10:00-12:00, T 2-4 and other times by appt. phone 453-4740, email pwelch@siu.edu Course Description The course has two goals. One is to examine important anthropological questions that can be addressed with archaeological data from North America. The other is to convey an appreciation of the rich and varied sequence of cultures that flourished in North America for 12,000 years before Europeans arrived. Given the scale of the continent and the length of the semester, we cannot possibly cover all the prehistory of all of North America. Attention will be given to cultural developments in the Eastern and Southwestern U.S.
    Requirements
    The most important requirement is to keep up with the assigned reading. I’ve assigned two books. One is a textbook, Ancient North America by Brian Fagan. Fagan’s book provides the basic chronological outline of American prehistory, but since it tries to cover everything it doesn’t provide much detail about anything. Some of these details will come from articles or book chapters that are available in the Reserve Room in Morris Library. For a change of pace, the second book I’ve assigned is a novel ( Journey to the Sun , by Ernest Schusky) whose setting is the Cahokia site in Illinois ca. AD 1150.

    Course objective

    Anyone who teaches a world prehistory course or a course on the prehistory of any part of the Americas must confront the issue of when people arrived in the New World. This course is designed to provide students with a current data and critical perspectives that will enable them to teach this issue competently.
