Abstract

In Early Woodland times, the creation of vast interaction spheres resulted in the widespread circulation of various objects and raw materials across northeastern North America. In this article, I discuss the contexts and spatial distribution of Meadowood trade items from over 240 archaeological sites. Traditionally viewed by William A. Ritchie as cult-related items, Meadowood artifacts have subsequently been interpreted as participating in a risk-buffering strategy. Alternatively, I present arguments supporting the role of Meadowood artifacts as part of a strategy used by a few individuals or corporate groups to increase their status through privilege access to rare and highly valued goods. Socially valued goods can be used in multiple ways and documenting this complexity is a prerequisite to understanding the mechanisms underlying the circulation of goods within the Meadowood Interaction Sphere, the structure of the network, and the incentives of the participating groups. This article stresses the need to move beyond the dichotomy between utilitarian/subsistence-related goods and non-utilitarian/ritual artifacts.

Resumen

Resumen

Au Sylvicole inférieur, la mise en place de vastes sphères d'interaction permet la circulation de divers produits et matières premières à travers le Nord-Est américain. Dans cet article, j'effectue une analyse contextuelle et spatiale de produits d'échange Meadowood provenant de plus de 240 sites archéologiques. D’abord considérés par William A. Ritchie comme objets de culte funéraire, on a ensuite cru que les artefacts Meadowood participaient à une stratégie de gestion des risques lors d’échanges réciproques et adaptatifs. Je présente ici des arguments en faveur d'une interprétation sociopolitique des artefacts Meadowood, où certains individus ou groupes d'individus utiliseraient leur accès privilégié à des biens rares et prestigieux pour augmenter leur statut social. L'étude des mécanismes de circulation des biens, de la structure du réseau et des motivations justifiant une participation à la sphère d’interaction Meadowood exige une meilleure compréhension de la multiplicité et de la complexité des usages réservés à de tels objets de prestige. Cet article insiste sur l'importance de dépasser la simple dichotomie entre objets utilitaires/reliés à la subsistance et objets non-utilitaires/rituels.
