KU men comb old Indian site
By Bob Nordyke
An important prehistoric Indian site, the second it its kind in Kansas, is now at the bottom of a lake and therefore inaccessible to archeologists and anthropologists.
The site was discovered March 3, when a Hoyt, Kan., farmer, Walter Sutter, unearthed some fire-marked rocks while moving earth for a small lake. KU anthropologists quickly moved in to investigate the site in the week remaining before Sutter planned to complete the digging for the lake.
The KU anthropology department learned of the site when Sutter's daughter, Marcia, a KU
State music festival will begin here Friday
A total of 28 junior and senior high schools in Northeast Kansas will sponsor participants in the state Class AA Music Festival here Friday and Saturday.
There are 131 entries in Friday's events for large instrumental and vocal groups, and 520 for the small vocal and instrumental ensembles and soloists Saturday.
All events in the festival, organized by the Kansas State High School Activities Association, will be in Murphy Hall.
Participants will be rated Class I through IV on their performances.
sophomore, brought the firemarked rocks to the department. A site survey was begun under the direction of Alfred E. Johnson, assistant professor of anthropology, and John Eoff, Ira, Tex, senior.
A thorough investigation of the site was impossible because of the short period of time in which the anthropologists had to work. A road grader was loaned by Sutter to excavate the site in order to find as much material as quickly as possible.
The grader skimmed a thin layer of earth in likely spots, while a group of anthropology students followed, looking for bared artifacts. This unsophisticated method of digging was necessary because of lack of time and because the site is not concentrated, Johnson said.
The site, estimated to be 7-8.000 years old, is the second paleo-Indian (primitive Indian) site in Kansas which has been discovered intact. The artifacts dug up at this site were found in association with other material which facilitates the identification and dating of the site.
Except for one other similar Kansas site, all paleo-Indian artifacts found in Kansas cannot be identified with any specific Indian group.
The initial investigation of the Hoyt site yielded three projectile points used on spears and arrow shafts, four chip stone scrapers used to work animal skins, two
stone knives, two small hand grinding stones used to pound wild grains, and several bison bone fragments.
The one-time inhabitants of the site, ancestors of the plains Indians, were nomads who lived by hunting and gathering wild grains. Because the group had a tiny population, and no permanent camp, there are no burials at this site, Johnson said.
Callahan, a member of the resident company of the University Theatre, and Carl Williams, a jazz musician, also will appear. Mrs. Callahan played Lady Macbeth in the Theatre's production of "Macbeth," and Madame Acarti in "Blythe Spirit."
