    Archaeology As Environmental Education: Investigations at the Bay View Point Site, Duluth, Minnesota
    (Center for Community and Regional Research, 2009-09) Jones, Jennifer E; Mulholland, Susan C
    Support from the Center For Community and Regional Research was used to conduct laboratory analysis of materials recovered from the 2008 field work at the Bay View School Forest. Three UMD students were employed to analyze the materials (lithics and a red rock cluster), complete paperwork preparatory for curation, conduct background research, compile maps for illustrations, and write draft sections for the final report. This project had several objectives. The research potential of the Bay View Point site was investigated by analysis of the materials from the site excavations in 2008. Additional work is needed to address the specific research questions but the site is recommended as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Implications for public policy are that this topographic situation on the Duluth Hillside does contain archaeological sites and should be investigated further to comply with Federal and State regulations. The place of archaeology in environmental education is further demonstrated by the enthusiastic participation of volunteers and the information that was gained from this effort.

    Creating a Dichotomous Key for the Identification of Trade Axes (1600-1900) in the Western Great Lakes Region, version 1.2022
    (2022-12-07) Jones, Jennifer E; Bruentrup, Hannah Rose; Colberg, Alli; Herman, Adam M; Krzyzaniak, Jesse; Nelson, Race; Roering, Trinity; Soderberg, Sarah; Sybrant, Holly; Walpole, Erin; Peterson, David H
    This report is the result of a semester-long project in an advanced archaeological methods course at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). The goal of this research was to create a trade axe identification guide for museum curators using a technique called the dichotomous key. Carried out in the Fall of 2022 as the laboratory component of a class, the intent of the project was to teach students data collection, analysis, and dissemination through hands-on work.

    The PaleoIndian-Archaic Transition in Northeastern Minnesota.
    (Duluth: Center for Community and Regional Research (CCRR)., 2006) Mulholland, Susan; Jones, Jennifer E
    The nature of the Paleoindian-Archaic transition, which occurred roughly 6,000 to 8,000 years ago, is of particular interest to students of archaeology because the different models of the transition have been proposed for different geographical areas of the United States. Minnesota in general, and Northeastern Minnesota in particular, are located between the two major areas. This project focused on two archaelogical sites that span the transition: Knife Lake on the U.S.-Canadian border, and Flat Horn Lake west of Isabella, Minnesota.

    This report is the result of a semester-long project in Archaeological Method and Theory (ANTH 4620) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). Carried out in the Fall of 2019 as the laboratory component of a class with mostly junior and senior level anthropology or history majors, the intent of the project was to teach students data collection, analysis, and dissemination through hands-on work.
