Households and Changing Use of Space at the Transitional Early Mississippian Austin Site
… from the Terminal Late Woodland to the Mississippian period. While Elizabeth Hunt’s (2017) masters thesis concluded that the ceramics at Austin emphasized a Late Woodland persistence, the architecture and use of space at the site had yet to be analyzed. This study examines this …

Creating the Cahokian Community: the Power of Place in Early Mississippian Sociopolitical Dynamics
… American Bottom floodplain near the monumental Mississippian site of Cahokia. All five sites include occupations dating to the Mississippian Transition (A.D. 975–1100) which spans the Terminal Late Woodland Lindeman and Edelhardt phases (A.D. 1000–1050) and the early Mississippian Lohmann phase …

Stratigraphic partitioning and reservoir distribution of the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian Exshaw Formation, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.
The Late Devonian to Early Mississippian Exshaw Formation is a black shale reservoir within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) that accumulated as an organic-rich basinal mudrock within a tectonically extensional region prone to horst and graben structures. This study characterizes …

Austin (22TU549): Mississippian Emergence In the Northern Yazoo Basin
… is a known transitional Late Woodland to early Mississippian village located in Tunica County, Mississippi. Compared with the cultural phases that have been developed in other regions the northern Yazoo Basin lacks a clearly defined “Emergent Mississippian” phase. This study examined the …

Multi-Proxy Records of Climate and Carbon Cycle Perturbations in the Paleozoic: Integrating Isotope Geochemistry and Sedimentology
… Chapter 4 applies clumped isotope thermometry to Early Mississippian strata and demonstrates a ~5ºC global cooling and substantial ice volume expansion coincident with a major perturbation to the global carbon cycle. Chapter 5 examines the extent to which diagenesis and facies- and phase-specific …

Temper, Mounds, And Palisades: The Walford Site (22Su501) Of Sunflower County, Mississippi
… a multicomponent site with Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian components located in the northern Yazoo Basin of Mississippi. The site has been recorded by several surveys, and was subjected to salvage excavations from 2003–2007. This excavation confirmed multiple components identified in previous …

Geology of the Radford area, Virginia
… is underlain with sedimentary rocks ranging from Early Cambrian to Early Mississippian in age, and having an aggregate thickness of at least 12,000 feet. These rock units do not represent a complete sedimentary sequence in this part of the Appalachian geosyncline because much of the Radford area …

Influence of the West Virginia Dome on paleocurrent patterns in the Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Price Formation in the Central Appalachians
Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian sedimentation was influenced by a positive area known as the West Virginia Dome located in the Central Appalachians of West Virginia. Paleocurrent data collected from the Price Formation demonstrates the significance of the dome on paleoflow patterns. Exposures in …

Shady Grove Site (22QU525) Quitman County, Mississippi: Analysis of Demographics and Mortuary Practices
<p>The Mississippian Period (A.D. 1000-1500) is distinguished by reliance on stable agriculture, sedentary ranked populations, and production of prestige goods. Sociopolitical structure was based on kinship, wealth, and power, and can be revealed through the local mortuary programs. This thesis …

Terrestrial paleoecology of distal deltaic environments of the upper Mississippian Bluefield, Hinton and Bluestone formations of southwestern Virginia and southern West Virginia
… in West Virginia and Virginia, that expose the Early Carboniferous (Late Mississippian) Bluefield, Hinton, and Bluestone Formations, were measured. Geological structures and paleontological occurrences were recorded. In situ rooted plants were compared with transported plant and animal …

Stratigraphy and Depositional Characterization of the Moorefield Shale (Middle-Late Mississippian) in its Type Area, Northeastern Arkansas (Eastern Arkoma Basin)
… Moorefield Shale a lowstand wedge succeeding the Early Mississippian (Osagean) Boone Limestone conformably and overlain conformably by the Hindsville Limestone/Batesville Sandstone. The unit contains a basal brown-black limestone and succeeding brown-black phosphatic shale. The Moorefield Shale …

Geology of the Millers Cove area, Roanoke, Craig and Montgomery counties, Virginia
… in age from Middle Cambrian Elbrook Dolomite to Early Mississippian Price Sandstone. Carbonate deposition was dominant into the Ordovician with elastic sedimentation dominant throuhout the rest of the Paleozoic. Cove Mountain is formed by the overturned northeast plunging Cove Mountain anticline …

Stratigraphy and depositional setting of the Carrington shale facies (Mississippian) of the Williston Basin
… the eastern margin of the Williston basin during Early Mississippian time.</p> <p>The Scallion subinterval, which is the basal subunit of the Bottineau interval of the Madison Formation in North Dakota, is divisible into six lithologic facies, one of which is the Carrington shale facies. West of …

Sequence stratigraphy and the development of a clinoformal carbonate ramp on an abandoned delta system: Mississippian Fort Payne--Salem Interval, Kentucky
Middle Mississippian ramp carbonates in Kentucky (Fort Payne to Salem interval) form a large scale depositional supersequence (0 to 500 feet thick, approximately 8 m. y. duration). It formed on and in front of the abandoned Early Mississippian Borden deltaic marine paleoshelf, which had up to 100 m …

Porosity Development Within Lobes to Downslope Ramp Deposits on a Prograding Carbonate Shelf of the Kinderhookian to Osagean Series in Northwest Arkansas
… form a substantial part of the Osagean (early Mississippian) section in northwest Arkansas. The purpose of this study is to isolate and describe a single lobe from three-dimensional exposures in quarry walls to provide criteria by which lobe and lobe porosity can be recognized in the …

Depositional environments and diagenesis of the Mississippian Bottineau interval (Lodgepole) in North Dakota
… a single marine transgression/regression cycle, Early Mississippian (lower Scallion subinterval) marine transgression from the restricted depositional environment of the Bakken Formation resulted in normal marine circulation, Six major facies were developed: (1) the central basin, (2) basin …

An Examination of the Mineralogy and Lithology of the Bakken Shale with Implications upon the Bakken Petroleum System, Southeastern Saskatchewan
Late Devonian and Early Mississippian Bakken shales are important source rocks to the oil accumulations in southeastern Saskatchewan. However, to date there is lack of knowledge concerning the mineralogy and lithology of the Bakken shales, which may impact the source effectiveness and heterogeneity …
