Item Lithic Organization, Mobility, and Place-Making at the Frog Bay Site: A Community-Based Approach(North Dakota State University, 2020) Cheli, Elizabeth LouiseThe Frog Bay site (47BA60) has been excavated for three field seasons. Excavations in 1979 located the site and continued in 2018 – 2019 by the Geté Anishinaabe Izhichigéwin community archaeological field school. This program commenced from a sovereignty initiative surrounding the creation of the Frog Bay Tribal National Park directed by the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Within the park, the Frog Bay site represents a multicomponent shorebased camp that was occupied numerous times during the Archaic and Woodland stages (ca. 3000 BC – AD 900). Structured through a community-based Indigenous theoretical framework, lithic analysis and community input are used to research long-term practices of mobility, land use, and place-making associated with the Frog Bay site. These methods offer a “braided interpretation” of the activities and occupation trends at Frog Bay and explore the intrinsic value that the site continues to hold for the present-day Red Cliff community.Item Pioneers and Pestilence: Emotion, Memory, and Historical Narratives at the Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery(North Dakota State University, 2021) Hubin, David RoyceThis thesis examines the interplay between emotion and social memory in the historical narrative (re)formation of the Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery in the village of Lockbourne, Pickaway County, Ohio. The research agenda includes a contextualization and critical assessment of documents and oral traditions as labors of representation. These are subsequently analyzed for their alignment with, or deviation from, the bioarchaeological record at the cemetery. The result is an interpretation of the past that will continue to be tested and refined as part of an ongoing multidisciplinary research project. This thesis provides valuable insight regarding attitudes of disease and death in 19th -century Ohio, and importantly, how those attitudes are expressed in the bioarchaeological record at a historical cemetery – a rare opportunity in the United States. Finally, a reflexive aspect of this thesis aims to explore the ways in which archaeological interpretation becomes part of this ever-changing and contextdependent historical narrative dialogue.
