Holder-Wright Earthworks, Dublin Ohio.

"These prehistoric mounds consist of three geometric earthworks and five burial mounds and are considered to belong to the Middle Woodland period dating to 200 B.C. - A.D. 400. Since first mapped in the 1880's, numerous archaeological investigations have occurred. Professional excavations were conducted in 1922 and 1961... Due to disturbance by farming activities, several of the mounds are difficult to see with the untrained eye. However, because of their excellent condition below plow depth and significance as one of the few remaining prehistoric community centers in the state [Ohio], this site has great interpretive and archaeological opportunities"

The City of Dublin compiled a 2011 master plan for the Holder-Wright Farm and Earthworks 

which can be viewed here. In summary, the plan will is to "preserve and showcase the ancient earthworks, farm house, and natural features that are a significant part of Dublin's history... The Holder-Wright home will be renovated to its historic stature, and will serve as an interpretive center for the entire park. In addition, an interactive demonstration earthwork, children's natural play area and observation deck overlooking the rugged terrain of Wright Run will be constructed to 

enhance the educational and recreational focus of the park."

This summer during the Ohio State University's Maymester (May 5-30, 2014) an anthropological field school will be held at the site.

FBI Seizes Thousands of Artifacts from Rural Indiana Home

FBI agents work around a home in Waldron, Indiana to confiscate artifacts.

April 3, 2014.

Diana Penner, of The Indianapolis Star, has written a brief article about a recent FBI investigation into a private collection of " 'thousands' of cultural artifacts" and the legality of their ownership.

"The monetary value of the items and relics has not been determined, Jones said, but the cultural value is beyond measure. In addition to American Indian objects, the collection includes items from China, Russia, Peru, Haiti, Australia and New Guinea, he said....The aim of the investigation is to determine what each artifact is, where it came from and how Miller obtained it, Jones said, to determine whether some of the items might be illegal to possess privately."

of the Ohio State University Department of Anthropology.

"I have finished analyzing the lithics in my box of artifacts from the site in Proctorville! I honestly thought it was never going to end; there were so many bags full of shatter and flakes from the Fort Ancient people making projectile points. "

Glenn Hodges, of National Geographic, has written an exciting article about the results of a mediation between a multimillion-dollar development and the recent discovery of an ancient Tequesta Indian village in Miami.

" "This will be the most robust preservation of any site in the southeast United States," said Marc Sarnoff, the city commissioner who first suggested that the parties try to reach agreement through mediation. "It's a very well thought out plan." "

Weaving and Protecting a History: A Conversation with Basket-Maker Kelly Church (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Ojibwe)

Baskets made by Kelly Church (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Ojibwe).

March 14, 2014.

Paul Niemi, of The National Museum of the American Indian, has written an interesting and informative blog interview with basket maker Kelly Church (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Ojibwe) describing her work as an Anishinaabe artist along with the long tradition associated within her family for basket making.

"She says modern-day indigenous people of the Great Lakes make baskets for their own utilitarian purposes. Today's needs are somewhat different, but all in all, tradition finds its place with necessity. Fancy baskets are meant to be eye-catching and pleasing. As in days of old, they are made to sell on the collectors' market to help support the maker's family. "We are influenced and live in a much different world than our ancestors, but we honor them in all ways still," Church says. That includes harvesting trees by family, processing the materials together, and weaving baskets for use and shoonya (money). "We still lay down our saama(tobacco) and give our thanks. Our basket styles and shapes are influenced by our everyday lives." "

Tribal Governments and Violence Against Women Act- Pilot Project

March 31, 2014.

Jennifer Davis, a guest poster on the In Custodia Legis: Law Librarians of Congress Blog, has written an informative post about the recent re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)'s pilot program with the Department of Justice and three tribal governments to "exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) over all persons, regardless of their Indian or non-Indian status”.

"In the last thirty years or so, since the Supreme Court published its 1978 opinion in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, tribes have not had this level of jurisdictional authority. Despite having their own constitutions and corporate charters (the Umatilla and Tulalip Constitutions, and the Tulalip Corporate Charter are available to read on the Law Library’s American Indian Constitutions and Legal Materials Web page) and treaties with the United States (the Tulalip treaty is in the Library’s general collection), tribal courts could not do anything to prosecute violent crimes committed by non-Indians in Indian country. "

OSU Student Adventures in Collections: Part 3

March 26, 2014.

Lauren Hammersmith, an Anthropology student at the Ohio State University, has written an interesting continuation of her previous guest post on the Ohio Historical Society Archaeology Blog, about her experiences in Dr. Deanna Grimstead's archaeological laboratory methods course. 

"The last few classes I have been doing lithic analysis, which is something I have never done (only learned about).  Because of this, it has taken me awhile to get the hang of sorting the artifacts.  In figure A, I took a picture of the form we have been using to analyze the lithics. Basically we sort the artifacts into debitage (shatter), flakes, cores, and formal tools.  My assemblage has been mostly flakes and shatter, but sometimes I have had a lot of difficulty telling the difference between the two."

Ancient Migration Patterns Between Siberia and North America Are Hidden in Modern Languages

A recent Smithsonian magazine article discusses research on modern language spoken by native peoples in Alaska, Canada, and parts of the continental U.S. which shows that they are linguistically related to the Yeneseian language spoken in Siberia. Both languages appear to be descended from a common ancestral language which can be traced to Beringia – the land bridge that once connected Asia with present-day Alaska. 

Data on 2 Yeneseian languages and 37 Na-Dene languages traditionally spoken by people from Alaska, Canada, and parts of the continental U.S. was collected from the Alaska Native Language Archive and then analyzed using algorithims to construct a linguistic family tree.  Previous theories for the observed similarities between the languages suggested that they all originated in Asia and then spread to North America as people migrated across Beringia.  The results of the new research show that the languages actually originated in Beringia, then was spread through migration in both directions to Siberia and North America.  

The newly constructed picture supports previous research which indicates Beringia was actually home to people for thousands of years before it was utilized as a bridge between the two continents.
