Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Volume IV of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of specific mortuary behaviors and characteristics utilized by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southeast Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures" used to distinguish cultural populations. Because burial of the dead is a ritually-oriented, ideologically-grounded rite of passage, its very nature is conservative, steeped in tradition and resistant to change. It is therefore possible, and vital, to identify repetitive characteristics of burial customs. For this purpose a mortuary sample of 34,132 individuals from 760 mortuary sites was utilized to address the range of variability and consistency within the seven state geographic space of the Southeast region. The states that comprise the database include: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Multiple cultural populations within those prehistoric territories exhibited ritually-oriented and conservative patterns of behavior that differentiated their society's practice of burial methodology from other extant groups. The ritual patterns also indicated that over long spans of prehistoric time, societal disruption occurred when cultures adapted to internally changing viewpoints and/or external pressures, sometimes exacerbated by changing climate and geographic environments that affected basic burial ideology over the long term. That cultural change was visible and evident within the altered burial pattern of the society and was meaningful not only for the identification of that group, but also exhibited evidence of contact and interaction with other cultures both intra- and inter-regionally, thereby providing comprehensive documentation for the cohesion of the four regions presented within the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mortuary Practice Among Prehistoric North Americans: Plains Region, is Volume II of the five volume set entitled PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES. Twelve years of research that covered North America between the Rockies and the Appalachians provided a comprehensive multi-regional database consisting of 97,821 deceased individuals from 3,678 prehistoric burial sites. From that database I formulated a Plains region database consisting of 13,104 deceased individuals from 1,229 burial sites within Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Built on the premise that analysis of mortuary practice is a valuable tool in the examination of prehistoric cultural entities, the variability and consistency of burial traits on the Plains establishes a pattern of conservative behaviors that are definitive in the detection of cohesive cultural groups. Burial traits that were thoroughly investigated included: MNI (minimum number of individuals), cremation, secondary inhumation, primary inhumation, bundling, position of deposition, placement, age and sex, artificial cranial flattening, time line, cultural affiliation, mortuary furniture specifics, head direction, mortuary facility, and in-site burial location. It was ascertained that multiple cultural populations exhibited ritually-oriented and conservatively-grounded patterns of behavior that differentiated their society's practice of burial ideology. The ritual patterns also indicated that over long spans of time, societal disruption occurred when cultures adapted to internally changing viewpoints, sometimes exacerbated by changing climate and geographic environments. Because the North American plains is a vast territory the detailed analysis of prehistoric burial characteristics was a complex and intricate web of sub-regional population movements through time that documented with some clarity how the different cultural groups dealt with the disposal of the deceased population on the prehistoric North American plains.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Volume III of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series analyzes prehistoric mortuary practice in the Midwest Region of North America. The database consists of 32,998 individuals from 1,304 burial sites and covers the period from approximately 9000 B. P. until A. D. 1500. The region by now comprised of the following states: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The provinces are analyzed individually by prehistoric period, then the analysis is followed by discussion and comparison, conclusions, references, Appendix I-Tables, Appendix II-maps, graphs. Characteristic traits that are examined include: type of inhumation, including cremation, primary inhumation, secondary inhumation (possible bundling); position of primary inhumations (extended, semi-flexed, flexed, tightly flexed), placement of inhumations (ventral, dorsal, left side, right side, sitting/reclining), age, gender, specificity of time period and cultural affiliation, intra- or extramural internment, intra- or interregional contact of influence, artificial cranial flattening, mortuary furniture including ceramics, stone, bone, shell, native copper, other exotics, red ocher; direction of the head, in-site location, structural facets of mortuary facility, elevation of terrain, water features in area, other general useful information. The Midwest Region was a complex and dynamic example of mortuary practice that was ritually oriented and traditionally grounded, consistent for long periods, yet subject to change due to both internal forces and external pressures. Multiple factors were interwoven in a clarifying display of how each cultural tradition dealt with the deposition of their deceased individuals according to the prevailing ideology of the time period.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Volume I of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of mortuary behaviors by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southwest Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits and characteristics because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures" used to distinguish cultural populations. Because burial of the dead is a ritually-oriented, ideologically-grounded rite of passage, its very nature is conservative, steeped in tradition and resistant to change. It is possible and vital, therefore, to identify repetitive characteristics of burial customs. For this purpose a mortuary sample of 17,587 burials from 385 mortuary sites was utilized to address the range of variability and consistency within the four subdivisions of the Southwest Region that includes the Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Puebloan, and Northern Rio Grande populations.
