Abstract
A geochronological approach is used to examine the temporal and spatial parameters of terminal Late Fort Ancient (∼1450 –1750 CE) habitation sites in the Little Miami-Ohio Rivers confluence area. We use a Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates, microtephrochronology, a biostratigraphic indicator (Bison bison), and ethnohistorical records to examine terminal Late Fort Ancient sites in this region. Circular, stockaded villages (≤ 5 ha), consisting of single-family dwellings were replaced with large linear villages (≤ 8 ha), consisting of multifamily longhouses constructed parallel to the Little Miami and Ohio rivers. Smaller contemporary habitations and a plethora of underground maize silos suggest a seasonal pattern of population fission and fusion. At the time of Hernando de Soto's military conquests, ∼350 km to the south, terminal Late Fort Ancient villages in this region were increasing in number and size.
采用地质年代学方法研究了小迈阿密-俄亥俄河汇合处晚期古堡(约1450 -1750 CE)居住地点的时空参数。我们使用贝叶斯分析的放射性碳测年、微显微年代学、生物地层指标(野牛野牛)和民族历史记录来检查该地区的晚期堡古遗址。由单户住宅组成的圆形、栅栏村庄(≤5公顷)被大型线性村庄(≤8公顷)所取代，这些村庄由多户长屋组成，与小迈阿密河和俄亥俄河平行。较小的当代居住地和过多的地下玉米筒仓表明了种群裂变和融合的季节性模式。在Hernando de Soto的军事征服时期，向南约350公里，该地区的晚期要塞古村落在数量和规模上都在增加。
期刊介绍：
Published quarterly, this is the only general journal dedicated solely to North America—with total coverage of archaeological activity in the United States, Canada, and Northern Mexico (excluding Mesoamerica). The North American Archaeologist surveys all aspects of prehistoric and historic archaeology within an evolutionary perspective, from Paleo-Indian studies to industrial sites. It accents the results of Resource Management and Contract Archaeology, the newest growth areas in archaeology, often neglected in other publications. The Journal regularly and reliably publishes work based on activities in state, provincial and local archaeological societies.
