Abstract

For the past few months, I have been working on a detailed response to a paper by James Bruseth, Diane Wilson, and Timothy Perttula published in the fall issue of Plains Anthropologist. There, these authors challenge my Sanders entrepot hypothesis and my new paradigm for the Mississippi period archeology of the Arkansas Valley, claiming that the Sanders focus, as propounded by Alex D. Krieger, is alive and well, so much so that they have renamed it the Sanders phase to ready it for service in the 1990s and beyond.

SettJes the argument about the Sanders that the bioantbropologists have site because it proves that the people recently begun to notice and buried in the 21 graves at Sanders were, puzzle over peculiarities in this as I have been arguing on both group of skeletons compared to archeological and bioanthropological those from historically and grounds, an intrusive population from the archeologically documented
Red River Valley that are population of the Arkansas Valley was inexplicable in terms of Krieger's significantly different, culturally and Sanders focus hypothesis
