Greetings,
As I write this introduction to the latest HAIG newsletter, it is Presidents Day. While the day
technically pays direct homage to Washington‘s and Lincoln‘s birthdays, I can‘t but help think of
Thomas Jefferson, who is credited by some as being America‘s first archaeologist for his excavations
of an American Indian grave mound on his Virginia plantation. Speaking of early archaeologists, this
newsletter includes a nice article from Donald Ball on William Edward Myer, an important
pioneering archaeologist from Tennessee; it begins on the next page following. There is also a brief
note about Tatiana Proskouriakoff, who was almost a New Deal archaeologist.
HAIG members are gearing up for the 2011 Society for American Archaeology (SAA) annual
meeting in Sacramento, just over a month away. HAIG will convene formally on Thursday, March
31, at 5 p.m. (rescheduled from the 6 p.m. time as stated in the preliminary program). The meeting is
open to all members of HAIG or those interested in joining. As HAIG is sponsoring a poster session
at 6 p.m. that same evening, the interest group meeting will likely be brisk, but can continue as we
put up our posters. The abstracts for the HAIG poster session are included in this newsletter, giving
all a sneak peek into what we have to say about New Deal archaeology this year
Speaking of New Deal archaeology, I just sent off to the University of Alabama Press an edited
volume of papers by HAIG members, many of whom participated in last year‘s Gordon R. Willey
Symposium on the History of Archaeology at the SAA‘s 75th anniversary meeting. Hopefully, the editing
process will go smoothly and by the 2012 SAA annual
meeting in Memphis we‘ll have a near final version of the
book out to show to HAIG members (and others as well).
A HAIG member has stepped forward already to chair
the 2012 Gordon R. Willey Symposium and details will
follow in a future issue of this newsletter.
As always, I welcome contributions from HAIG
members, requests for information, lists of new or recent
publications, and any other material of interest for future
issues of this newsletter. Thanks to all the kind words on
our first newsletter! Response has been very positive and
I received notices of a number of new or recent
publications of interest to HAIG members that are

William Edward Myer (1862-1923):
A Significant Early Tennessee Archaeologist
Submitted by Donald B. Ball, Independent Researcher, Louisville, Kentucky
Modern researchers are most familiar with William
Edward Myer (Figure 1) as the author of two monographs – Two
Prehistoric Villages in Middle Tennessee and Indian Trails of the
Southeast – published posthumously in 1928 in the Forty-First
and Forty-Second Annual Reports of the Bureau of American
Ethnology, respectively. As significant as these studies may be,
they barely scratch the proverbial surface of his many
contributions to the archaeology of his home state. Myer was
born on October 5, 1862, in or near (records are unclear on this)
the small settlement of Fountain Run in Barren County,
Kentucky. Shortly thereafter, his father moved to Carthage,
(Smith County) Tennessee, along the Cumberland River and
established a prosperous department store on the town square.
Following his graduation in 1883 from Vanderbilt
University in Nashville, Myer followed in his father‘s businessrelated footsteps and was soon actively involved in managerial
duties at both the family store and a local bank (also established
by his father), becoming a partner in several lucrative business

would be considered a ―man who had it all‖ – except for one
thing.
Despite his many financial achievements, the burning passion in his life was to explore the
archaeological resources of the region he called home. Available records indicate that this interest
developed at but eight years old when his mother gave him an engraved prehistoric pendant found
in a cave near Carthage. Even during his career in business, Myer routinely allocated time each day
to studying the archaeological literature of his era. Myer‘s earliest known archaeological publication –
a brief article titled ―An Old Shawnee Town in Tennessee‖ –appeared in 1894 in a small journal
called The Archaeologist (2[1]:6-13) edited by Warren King Moorehead; this article concerned the
Mississippian-era mound center now known as Castalian Springs in Sumner county, Tennessee. He
conducted excavations here on three separate occasions (1891, 1893, and 1916-1917).
During the period 1915-1916, Myer made the fateful decision to sell his business holdings and
pursue full-time his lifelong interest in regional archaeology. Although his best laid plans to do so
were interrupted by his tenure as Tennessee Fuel Administrator during World War I, he succeeded in
obtaining an appointment as a Special Archaeologist with the Bureau of American Ethnology in mid1919. It was at this point in his life that his interests came into full bloom. While employed by the
Bureau, Myer would undertake studies at a number of significant Tennessee sites including
Gordontown (Davidson County), Fewkes (Williamson County), Mound Bottom (Cheatham County),

Pinson Mounds (Madison County), and others. A summary of his work at several of these sites
appeared in a 1922 article titled ―Recent Archaeological Discoveries in Tennessee― (Art & Archaeology
14[3; September]:140-150).
In the process of examining Myer‘s archaeological career, it is surprising to observe both how
much he wrote and how little of this material was published. Although a number of his unpublished
manuscripts might be discussed, three are deserving of particular attention: (1) Stone Age Man in the
Middle South (National Anthropological Archives, NAA MS 2566-a); (2) Catalogue of Archaeological
Remains in Tennessee (National Anthropological Archives, NAA MS 1711); (3) and Record of Relics No.
2 (a privately held manuscript).
Available evidence indicates that it was his intention that the voluminous (in excess of 1,000
hand written pages) Stone Age Man in the Middle South was to be his magnum opus summarizing what
he had learned in a lifetime of studying sites adjacent to the upper Cumberland River and its
tributaries. It goes without saying that modern scholars might wish that he had recorded far more
detail about his work but it remains a fact that many of the sites he recorded are now inundated by
five different post-World War II impoundment projects. For better or for worse, the only surviving
record of many of these rock shelters, mounds, cemeteries, and villages extending from southeastern
Kentucky to above Nashville is to found in this single source. Evidence also suggests that the version
of this advanced but never completed manuscript preserved as NAA MS 2566-a was prepared no
later than early 1923. It was originally anticipated that a polished version of this work would be
published as a Bulletin of the Bureau of American Ethnology but such was not to be.
Originally prepared as an extended chapter in the Stone Age Man study, Myer‘s Catalogue of
Archaeological Remains in Tennessee was extracted from the parent manuscript for reasons unknown
and filed as a separate document by the Bureau of American Ethnology. In common with the better
known efforts of William C. Mills (Archeological Atlas of Ohio, 1914) and William D. Funkhouser and
William S. Webb (Archaeological Survey of Kentucky, 1932), it was Myer‘s intention to systematically
inventory all known archaeological sites within the state. This was accomplished by means of both
his extensive personal travels and a multi-year letter writing and questionnaire campaign conducted
under the auspices of the Tennessee Historical Society, Tennessee Academy of Science, Tennessee
Division of Geology, and Tennessee State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This pioneering effort
resulted in recording sites in all but one Tennessee county (Franklin County). As noted by Myer, this
endeavor produced ―A list of 85 Indian village sites, 1,123 mounds, and 260 cemeteries in Tennessee.‖
The third notable manuscript – Record of Relics No. 2, a privately held 161 page ledger
previously unknown to regional archaeologists – was prepared as a working inventory of Myer‘s
extensive (12,000+ items) collection of artifacts. This invaluable document was graciously made
available for transcription by a member of the Myer family who wishes to remain anonymous at this
time. With his customary attention to detail, Myer made note of descriptive attributes, measurements,
and – importantly – provenience. Cross-referenced by his catalog numbers, many of the items listed
in this ledger would be further discussed within the pages of the Stone Age Man study.
Meaningful research never exists within an isolated vacuum and it may be said of Myer that
he was not in the least bashful about integrating cross-disciplinary studies in his investigations. To
this end, he corresponded with or personally knew a number of the respected scholars of his day in
the fields of archaeology (e.g., Warren King Moorehead, William L. Griffin, William Henry Holmes,
Gates P. Thruston, and Harriet Newell Wardle), anthropology (e.g., John R. Swanton, James Mooney,
Francis La Flesche, Clark Wissler, and Aleš Hrdlička), geology (e.g., Wilbur Nelson and Albert

Homer Purdue), ethno-botany (e.g., William Edwin Safford), and military history (e.g., Bashford
Dean). It is unfortunate that the extensive personal correspondence files he mentions so often within
the pages of his Record of Relics No. 2 were apparently discarded by his family following his death.
It comes as little surprise that the abundance of Mississippian-era mounds and stone box
graves in Myer‘s immediate area of interest captured much of his attention. Twenty years after his
death these materials would come to be interpreted as the remains of the Southeastern Ceremonial
Complex. Drawing upon the information then available to him, Myer initially hypothesized that
these items were associated with Siouan tribes in the region. He then went a step further and
formally tested his hypothesis by excavating two known Siouan sites (see Myer‘s ―Archeological
Field-work in South Dakota and Missouri,‖ 1922, Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections 72[15]:117-125)
only to conclude that his cherished hypothesis was invalid. It should not go unnoticed that this took
place forty years prior to the emergence of the New Archaeology in the early 1960s.
Brief mention might be made of but a few of the rarely encountered materials found by Myer.
While every prehistoric archaeologist finds arrowheads, he recovered two cedar bows. During the
course of his excavations, Myer found two deer antler headdresses, a type of ceremonial regalia
previously known only from depictions on engraved shell gorgets. One of these was in anatomical
position on the skull of the individual with whom it had been buried. To this list may be added two
artifacts made of catlinite, a black bear fur robe, and a variety of items made from copper, steatite,
mica, and galena.
An appropriate question regarding the body of work authored by Myer may straightforwardly
be expressed as ―What does it mean today?‖ In common with many of his peers and contemporaries,
there is little doubt that he had but the vaguest understanding of the chronology of the materials he
so avidly accumulated and studied for a period of over forty years. While certainly recognizing that
not all assemblages were alike, such differences were far more likely to be attributed to the material
culture of distinct tribes rather than peoples and cultures hundreds or even thousands of years
removed from one another. In this process, he labored in the intellectual milieu of his times which
envisioned a simplistic chronology consisting of the recent past (everything since the general
settlement of Old World populations in his geographic area of his interest), an ―early‖ period in
which Native Americans initially interacted with these intrusive populations, and a vaguely defined
prehistoric past which included any remains produced previous to these periods. Regrettably, the
application of this ―shallow‖ chronology would have profoundly adverse effects on his ability to
better interpret the region‘s archaeological record. This is not to say, however, that he was anything
less than an astute observer of the sites and materials he examined in an era which proliferated with
antiquarians largely oriented toward filling their ―cabinets‖ with curiosities and relics of the dim and
distant past. To his credit, while certain of his conclusions have been disproven by later research
much of the information he recorded remains both vibrant and useful.
Myer was stricken with a heart attack while working in his office at the Bureau of American
Ethnology in Washington, D.C., on December 2, 1923, and died later that day. He was interred in the
Old Carthage Cemetery located on West Third Avenue in Carthage, Tennessee, and rests near his
parents, wife, two sons, and other members of his family.
As a personal aside: I would be remiss not to mention that my interest in the life and
archaeological career of William Edward Myer stems from having been involved for several years in
the long, slow, and infinitely rewarding process of transcribing, editing, and annotating a number of
his manuscripts for publication. Including the preparation of the most detailed biography of his life
4
yet undertaken, thus far this effort has resulted in preparing approximately 1,000 single-spaced
pages, 600,000 words, and well in excess of 2,500 footnotes – and there yet remains much more to do.
The time is long past due that the current generation of Southeastern archaeologists should have
ready access to the mass and wealth of information painstakingly compiled by one of America‘s
preeminent – and now largely unheralded – early twentieth century archaeologists.
Tatiana Proskouriakoff:
Almost a New Deal Archaeologist
Submitted by Bernard K. Means
Virginia Commonwealth University
The following is based on a review of correspondence on file at
The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. Thanks to
curator Janet Johnson for making this available:
J. Alden Mason (University Museum of the
University of Pennsylvania) worked through 1938 and 1939
with Pennsylvania State Archaeologist Donald Cadzow to
develop a survey of the Philadelphia region using funding
from the National Youth Administration (NYA). The NYA
was an agency designed to help the youth of America cope
with the Great Depression, by directly or indirectly
supporting education. Students in school were given work
study opportunities and those out of school were provided
with vocational training.
Cadzow was frustrated with the WPA and their
―hard-boiled‖ workers and thought the NYA would be
better suited to doing archaeology. He thought Mason
would be well suited to directing an NYA project—and
announced this in the pages of the Pennsylvania

Dealing with the NYA bureaucracy was one of
Mason‘s biggest challenges. Delays in getting the project
started affected which of his students were available for the project. Mason wanted Tatiana
Proskouriakoff to be one of his field supervisors, but she eventually ended up going down to
Guatemala to work on the Piedras Negras project. This was probably the best for Tatiana
Proskouriakoff, as she became a pioneer in translating Maya writing and depicting Maya life.
Searching vainly for traces of American Indian villages and excavating ephemeral lithic scatters in the
Philadelphia region would probably have not made her as famous!

Session Abstract
Archaeology and the New Deal: How Roosevelt’s ‘Alphabet Soup’ Programs Continue to Influence Modern
Archaeology
Organized by Bernard K. Means, Virginia Commonwealth University
Franklin Delano Roosevelt‘s ‗Alphabet Soup‘ work relief programs funded archaeological
investigations across most of the 48 states that comprised the U.S. during the Great Depression.
These work relief investigations generated extensive collections of artifacts and field records that
have continuing research potential. Archaeologists working across the U.S. today directly build on
the legacy of the New Deal archaeologists through reanalysis and reinterpretation of curated
collections. The posters in this session highlight differing perspectives on the archaeological legacy of
the New Deal.

The Future Meets the Past: Digital Mapping of New Deal Archaeology Projects Across the Lower 48 States
Bernard Means (Virginia Commonwealth University)
Archaeologists working in collections repositories across the nation have at least a general
notion of the New Deal material they safeguard from their specific locality or region. However, the
full geographic and temporal parameters of New Deal archaeological investigations are currently not
known. This poster represents an initial attempt to ascertain the full extent of New Deal
archaeological investigations in the U.S. and draws on modern digital mapping technologies to
explore these decades-old excavations.
Correspondence among Colleagues: WPA Archaeology in Letters
Lynne Sullivan (University of Tennessee) and Bobby R. Braly (University of Tennessee)
The New Deal-era collections at the Frank H. McClung Museum are among the largest of their
kind. Many scholars use the artifacts and field records, but few know about the related, large
correspondence archive. These letters, exchanged between University of Tennessee staff and many
other anthropologists, illustrate the close personal and professional connections of the still-young
discipline. The letters discuss topics such as archaeological field and laboratory techniques,
interpretations, staffing, and government relations. This correspondence, now available in digital
format, provides insights to the personalities and ideas that shaped and continue to influence
archaeology in the United States.

Edward Kennard, the Federal Writers’ Project and the Birth of Public Archaeology
Gloria Everson (Lyon College), Michelle Henley (Lyon College) and Christine Font
Archaeology captured the attention of a larger audience during the 1930s via the WPA state
guides produced by the Federal Writers‘ Project. While these guides covered numerous topics,
archaeology found its place. Edward Kennard, a former student of Boas, supervised and edited the
―Indians and Archeology‖ section of each guide, and additionally created a series of driving tours
highlighting significant archaeological attractions in each state. By establishing a rigorous standard of
accuracy and skillfully dealing with the various writing styles and personalities types, Kennard
brought each state‘s past into the present, paving the way for today‘s public archaeology.
A New Archaeology in the New Deal: The Rise of Historical Archaeology in the 1930s
Benjamin Pykles (State University of New York at Potsdam)
Although there are isolated examples of what today we call historical archaeology from as
early as the seventeenth century, the discipline had its formal beginnings in the 1930s with the New
Deal excavations at Jamestown, Virginia – the first permanent English settlement in North America.
The Jamestown excavations, led by Jean Carl Harrington, were among the first federally sponsored
historical archaeology projects in North America and constitute the true institutional beginnings of
the discipline. It was during these excavations that Harrington pioneered many of the fundamental
methods and practices still used by historical archaeologists throughout the world today.
CCC and RBS archaeology at Fort Laramie National Historic Site
Danny Walker (Wyoming State Archaeologist's Office)
Fort Laramie National Monument was established in 1938. That same year, the first
archaeological investigations began before restoration of the building started by a CCC group from
Camp Guernsey, Wyoming. Since then, River Basin Surveys, National Park Service, University of
Wyoming and Wyoming State Archaeologist's Office have continued the work. The early projects
(CCC and RBS) will be presented, with a short review of the future at Fort Laramie.
William S. Webb's Archaeological Legacy in Kentucky: From Adena to Indian Knoll
George Crothers (University of Kentucky)
Webb's administration of federal relief programs to conduct archaeology had a major influence
on professionalization of the discipline in the southeastern U.S. In Kentucky, two of the most
significant projects targeted excavation of Adena mounds and Archaic shell middens. Both topics
remain a major focus of anthropological research today. Adena continues to be a topic of considerable
debate on agricultural origins, ceremonialism, regional interaction, and social complexity.
Osteological collections, best known from the Indian Knoll site, continue to have international impact
on studies of paleopathology, growth and development, functional morphology, and hunter-gatherer
population interaction.

The Legacy Glenn A. Black and the WPA Excavations at Angel Mounds (12Vg1)
Timothy Baumann (Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University), G. William
Monaghan (Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University) and Christopher Peebles
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University)
From 1939 until 1942, Glenn A. Black directed a WPA excavation at the Angel site (12Vg1), a
large palisaded Middle Mississippian agricultural town on the Ohio River, near Evansville, Indiana.
This Depression-era research included expansive excavations on the East Village, Mound F, and a
segment of the outer Palisade, which together by volume still represents the majority of exploration
done at this site. The work of Black and his WPA crew has led to nearly 80 years of continuous
research on Angel Mounds, establishing it as a formative site for professional archaeology in Indiana
and the Midwest.
Retelling the Story of the East Village at the Angel Site (12-VG-1)
Joel Marshall (IUPUI) and Anthony Krus (Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana
University)
The East Village is a 5700 m2 area on the boundary of the Angel Site and represents one of the
longest occupied areas excavated at the site. Excavations of the East Village conducted by the WPA
during 1938-1941 left many unanswered questions regarding the interpretation of the area. During
2010, the northern boundary of the WPA-excavated East Village was relocated and a trench
excavated to document the original profile using current excavation methods. This has generated
new radiocarbon dates on the structures along the East Village‘s northern boundary, and provided
less ambiguous interpretations of the middens and structures
Ancient DNA from Angel Mounds, a Legacy Collection
Charla McCormick (Indiana University)
Angel Mounds is a Middle Mississippian archaeological site (ca. A.D. 1050-1400) located on
the Ohio River east of Evansville, Indiana. During the WPA era excavations led by Glenn Black, over
200 human burials were uncovered that are now curated at the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of
Archaeology (GBL) at Indiana University. One hundred of these individuals were sampled for
ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis, but the overall rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) retrieval was
quite low (~5%). Infants, in particular, had the best DNA preservation of the individuals sampled,
and the hypothetical bases for this result are explored.
New Considerations of Old Distributions: Site Occupations at the Deptford Site (9CH2), Chatham County,
Georgia
Victoria Dekle (University of Kentucky)
Deptford (9CH2) is a large multicomponent prehistoric site located near Savannah Georgia
that was excavated by Catherine McCann, Joseph Caldwell, Antonio Waring, and Preston Holder
between 1939 and 1942. Although the site is often cited as an important Woodland site on the
southern Atlantic coast, specific information about the site and the W.P.A. excavations is
limited. The entire Deptford collection was analyzed in the 1990s, significantly expanding our
understanding of the site and creating opportunities for further investigation. This poster will
present the results of a site-wide spatial analysis that demonstrates the need for more fine-grained
analysis.

New Deal Archaeology on St. Simons Island
Kevin Kiernan (University of Kentucky)
Preston Holder's 1936-1937 WPA archaeological campaign on St. Simons Island, Georgia, is
richly attested in relatively unknown, untapped, and unpublished resources. These include official
and unofficial reports and correspondence; detailed field notes, burial lists, faunal lists, graphs, and
maps; laboratory and sherd analyses; contemporary artifact displays requisitioned for locals and
tourists; a wide range of photographs; and three-score of bins containing over 100,000
ceramics. Using a recently discovered and restored profile, contour, and location map prepared by a
professional draughtsman, this poster illustrates the nature of some New Deal excavations by
reference to the Charlie King Mound.
Re-examining the Past: Three-Dimensional Documentation with Depression-Era Archaeology Collections of
Pre-Columbian Ceramic Vessels from Florida
James Bart Mcleod (University of South Florida), Lori D. Collins (University of South Florida) and
Travis F. Doering (University of South Florida)
This poster presents the results of an analysis of complete ceramic vessels and diagnostic
sherds excavated by WPA archaeologists and their crews from four pre-Columbian archaeological
sites located in Hillsborough County, Florida. Digital models of the ceramics were created using a
Konica-Minolta Vivid 9i laser digitizer. These data were then processed and the digital models used
to examine vessel form, surface treatment, and stylistic design. The ceramic artifacts are being
analyzed to quantify the degree of homogeneity or heterogeneity of vessel symmetry and design
elements to describe the intensity of interaction between the four sites.
