Ancient Kentuckians Hunted Small Game
By RONALD J. BUTLER

(Second In A Series
Unlike their Paleo Indian ancestors, Kentucky's first
citizens could no longer
semi-permane-

count on the virtually extinct Ice-Amammals for food.
Instead of being able to rely on
the mammoth, mastadon, and
sloth, the Archaic Indians had to
look for the smaller game, mussels from the rivers, And wild
plants.
They found this food along the
Green, Cumberland,
Tennessee,
and Ohio Rivers.
In addition to gathering mussels
and wild plants, they hunted the

istics of the Archaic Indians, who
came to Kentucky eight or nine
thousand years ago, was their
habit of burying their dead in a
flexed position, with the knees
drawn up toward the chest.
Dr. Douglas W. Schwartz, direc-

tor of the UK Museum of Anthropology, says the mounds may have
been used for burials because they
wanted their dead to be near the

scene of everyday life
There Is good reason to believe
the Archaic
Indians had some
form of belief In an afterlife.
The basis for this supposition is
the practice of burying tools, ornaments, and weapons with the dead,

* A Matter Of Policy
We can understand its decision to
withhold names. But, it's ridiculous,
yea, even totalitarian, to withhold decisions. A judge in the United States
would never think of such a fching;
his job is so responsible that he" is
enforced to explain his position.
Does the Judicial Board lack responsibility? The refusal to release
the decision of the football player
indicates it has none at all, except to
the administration. As students, we
do not even know what action will be
taken against us if we pilfer an exam
(re Dean Martin's statement: "Each
case is judged by its individual
merit." )
Is this justice? Is this informing the
students? How can the University advocate searching for truth and yet
conceal it?
We hope the public's respect for
the University has not been lowered because it has covered its judicial
proceedings.
Suspicion has been
placed on every member of the team
in the
incident. Withholding information by UK was' the
worst possible decision to have made.
Considering the repercussions one
g
simple
incident has had,
We can do nothing
but abhor the
Judicial Board's and dean of men's
silence in judicial proceedings. .We
believe every student and faculty
member should be informed of punishment.
And that's more than a matter of
policy.

With the age of bureaucracy, a new
interpretation of an old word has
been created. It has been used to
settle disputes, satisfy customers, and
keep employees in check. It has been,
at times, used most selfishly.
The word? Policy.
Newspapers have policies, governments have policies, businesses have
policies, organizations have policies.
The word has been used, often dogmatically, to explain positions a group
has on a certain subject, with a rational reason usually given for the
policy.
Universities also have policies.
We were informed of that fact last
week when we tried to discover what
action had been taken by the UK
Judicial Board against a football player who had been caught trying to
pilfer an examination paper. We were
g
told it was a
policy not
to release results of judicial proceedings and, despite the implications of
this case, the University would not
allow the public to know what was
involved.
But policies are ineffective when
no explanation is given.
The University failed to give even
halfway adequate justification for its
decision, admittedly a very "mild"
one. It, in effect, hid behind a
nebulous word to substantiate a
rather precarious position.
Why the Judicial Board's position
of "keeping quiet" its proceedings?

This grooved flint spear point is typical of the kind brought into the
New World by the Paleo Indians some 30,000 years ago. This one was

Kentucky's ancient prehistory is a
story of man's battle for survival in
the closing stages of the Ice Age.
It begins some 30,000 years ago,
when one of the greatest migrations
of human history began.
At this time, when the last of the
great glaciers covered most of the
North American continent, wandering bands of hunters crossed into
Alaska over the Bering Strait.
They came by foot from Asia by
way of Siberia over a land bridge
formed by the lower water level attributed to the huge ice sheet.
For thousands of years before, they
had developed the survival techniques
that made the venture possible.
They had fire, tools, suitable clothing for the Ice Age climate and
know-hoin making weapons.
Their most outstanding achievement was the grooved flint spear
point, a weapon showing complete
control over the technique needed
to work flint effectively.
These points regarded as the best
examples of stone age craftsmanship
measured two to four inches long.
They were mounted on shafts and
used to hunt the shaggy beasts of the
Ice Age the now extinct mammoth,
sloth.
mastadon, and bear-lik- e
The men who hunted them in the
New World are known as Paleo (ancient) Indians.
At first, the Paleo. Indians of North
America centered in the Great Plains
region, after traveling down a 200
mile wide corridor in the ice sheet.
By 10,000 B. C, the Ice Age mam
"

mals became 'scarce in the plains,
and the Indians started an eastward
movement to find new game supplies.
The glacier began to retreat by
9,000 B.C. and by 6,000 B.C. the
mammoths, mastadons, and sloths
were all but extinct in the New World.
Kentucky's era of human occupation starts eight or nine thousand
years ago, when the ancient Indians
still lived by hunting alone.
Evidence of their presence here has
Ik'cii discovered at major archaeological sites near Nelw in Hopkins
County arid Canton in Trigg County.
Smaller surface finds have lieen
found in ether scattered areas across
the state.
Dating is possible by several means.
One is by the radiocarloti test.
All living organisms, animal or vegetable, absorb a certain amount of
radioactive carbon 14 forrr&d in the
atmosphere.
Carbon 14 disintegrates at a known
rate at death. Thus scientists can date
remains like bone or charred wood
by determining the amount of remaining radioactivity.
Geologists also know the age of
certain layers of sediment or rock.
Therefore finds also.can be dated according to their geological position.
Some of the grooved points have
been found with remains that could
Ix? checked
by the radiocarbon
method.
The Indian was entering a new era
by 6,000 B. C. From here on, he
would hae to hunt the smaller game
and learn to supplement his diet with
wild herbs, berries and nuts.
