Warren K. Moorehead |
In this publication,
Moorehead presents a more refined version of his original 1898 work
on Fort Ancient.
"On a
slightly rolling plateau in Warren County, Ohio, overlooking the
beautiful valley of the Little Miami river, is situated Fort
Ancient, the greatest of all prehistoric earthworks in the
Mississippi basin.
This plateau is remarkable in its configuration. There is nothing
precisely like it to be found in the Ohio valley, so far as the
writer's observation extends. The plateau is cut up irregularly by
ravines, and although none are of great length, yet all of them are
precipitous and attain their depth within a few hundred yards from
the beginning of their erosion ... The distance around the inclosure
(following the center of the embankment) is 18,712.2 feet." (Warren
K. Moorehead, 1908)
This 6-1/2" x 8-1/2", 142 page, soft cover, facsimile reprint
is illustrated with 41 plates - 2 of which are
foldout map and diagram. $14.95

From
the 1920s through the late 1950's, the Indiana
Historical Bureau started an
archaeological survey of Indiana
counties. As far as we can
determine there were only 17 surveys
that were actually completed and we have
grouped these surveys geographically
into four volumes. Township maps
show the location of the sites and
surface surveys that were conducted and
the plates are of outstanding artifacts
of bone, flint, stone, pottery and
copper.
The classic work on the Mound-Builders
of the United States by Henry Clyde
Shetrone. This work examines
earthworks and mounds from North Dakota
to Florida and Kansas to the East Coast.
The table of contents and list of
illustrations (below) give an insight
into the scope of this legendary
publication.
Our reprint features the full
color Mound-Builder plate as well as the full size color foldout map
of mound and earthwork distribution of the Eastern United States.
This 6-1/2" x 8-1/2", 530 page, soft cover, facsimile reprint
is
illustrated with 299 illustrations, full color
mound-builder plate and earthwork distribution
foldout map. $27.95

Americans |

Virginia Drew Watson - 1950 |

|
Primitive
Metal Working - Willoughby |
|
Primitive Copper Working: An Experimental
Study - Cushing |
|
|
An archaeologically isolated find of 8
repousse' copper plates, made in Dunklin County,
Missouri in 1906 generates two questions: who made
these copper plates and how did they end up buried
in a field that has no known mounds or village sites
in the vicinity? Also included are two metal working
papers by Cushing and Willoughby.
Watson also discusses the manufacturing
process including a detailed study of
the riveting techniques used in the copper plates to
enlarge or repair them. Frank
Hamilton Cushing of the Bureau of
American Ethnology was conducting
experiments in copper working
utilizing aboriginal tools and
techniques and his work is also discussed in
the manufacturing section. Since
his work was quoted at length, we have
included his paper from the American
Anthropologist of 1894.
Charles Willoughby was also active in
metal working experiments and we have
included his paper from the American
Anthropologist of 1903 as well.
This 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" soft cover, facsimile reprint
contains 148 pages including 15 full page plates
and drawings and 13 in-text diagrams. $16.95
