Under the guidance of Dr. Margaret Beck, Sarah Trabert will analyze ceramics from Dismal River aspect sites in Colorado and Wyoming and submit ceramic sherds from Nebraska and Kansas for sourcing analyses. The Dismal River aspect dates to A.D. 1675-1725 and these people lived at an important crossroads between the Great Plains and the U.S. Southwest, where goods, technology, social practices, and people moved between Native American societies. Dismal River aspect groups also lived during a time of economic, political, and social instability following the European colonization of the Americas. It is well known that Native Americans in direct contact with Europeans experienced epidemic diseases, political and economic disruption, forced social change, and demographic expansion and collapse. What is less understood is how far the wave of these effects spread beyond the borders of European controlled colonies. To escape Spanish oppression, Puebloan people from Northern New Mexico moved out of their homelands and brought their own social practices and worldviews with them when they interacted with Great Plains peoples such as Dismal River aspect groups. The analysis of Dismal River aspect culinary technology and resource acquisition will reveal if and how Spanish colonization led to changes in ceramic production and foodways on the Great Plains. Thus, this research will contribute new and important knowledge on the indirect impact that colonization has on material culture and social identities.This research addresses the worldwide effects of colonialism beyond the core colonized areas, the regional impact of Spanish colonialism in North America, methods of defining social identity archaeologically during the protohistoric and early historic periods, and details of Dismal River aspect foodways and adaptations. It also emphasizes the importance of the protohistoric period for studying the emergence of new social identities produced by Spanish activity and Puebloan population movement out of the Southwest. The archaeological record during this volatile period, although quite complicated and ephemeral, can inform researchers and descendant groups alike as to how Native peoples accepted, adapted to, and resisted the profound social, political, and economic changes associated with the colonization of the North American continent.The effects of Spanish colonialism on Native American groups outside of the core area of contact is an understudied part of Native North American history. Information regarding the social identity and ancestry of Dismal River aspect groups may be of interest to descendent communities today who are striving to regain access to land and a voice in how Dismal River aspect mortuary remains are handled. The results of this study will be disseminated in a series of publications and will be available in detail through a digital archive for archaeological records, allowing scholars access to the final interpretations and raw data. These results will be shared with the public institutions where the collections are housed and with the individual state historical societies so that the information can be disseminated to the public through displays of Dismal River aspect material culture. Sharing ideas with museums, historical societies, local archaeologists, descendent groups, and the public will ensure that more is known about the emergence of new and resilient social identities among Native American groups, and how these people resisted colonial dominance and cultural extinction during the protohistoric period.

在玛格丽特·贝克博士的指导下，莎拉·特拉伯特将分析来自科罗拉多和怀俄明州的迪斯马尔河遗址的陶瓷，并提交来自内布拉斯加州和堪萨斯的陶瓷碎片进行采购分析。 迪斯玛尔河的历史可以追溯到公元1675年至1725年，这些人生活在大平原和美国西南部之间的一个重要十字路口，在那里，商品、技术、社会习俗和人们在美洲原住民社会之间流动。 在欧洲殖民美洲之后，迪斯玛尔河相位族群也生活在经济、政治和社会不稳定的时期。 众所周知，与欧洲人直接接触的美洲原住民经历了流行病、政治和经济混乱、被迫的社会变革以及人口膨胀和崩溃。 人们不太了解的是，这些影响的浪潮在欧洲控制的殖民地边界之外蔓延了多远。 为了逃避西班牙人的压迫，来自新墨西哥州北方的普韦布洛人离开了他们的家园，当他们与大平原人民（如迪斯玛尔河方面群体）互动时，他们带来了自己的社会实践和世界观。对迪斯玛尔河方面的烹饪技术和资源获取的分析将揭示西班牙殖民是否以及如何导致大平原上陶瓷生产和饮食方式的变化。因此，这项研究将有助于新的和重要的知识，殖民对物质文化和社会idents.This研究解决殖民主义的核心殖民地以外的世界范围内的影响，在北美的西班牙殖民主义的区域影响，在史前和早期历史时期的考古学定义社会身份的方法，和迪斯玛尔河方面的食物和适应的细节的间接影响。 它还强调了研究西班牙活动和普韦布洛人人口迁出西南部所产生的新社会身份的出现的史前时期的重要性。 在这一动荡时期的考古记录，虽然相当复杂和短暂，可以告知研究人员和后裔群体如何土著人民接受，适应，并抵制深刻的社会，政治，与北美大陆殖民化相关的经济变化。西班牙殖民主义对接触核心区域以外的美洲原住民群体的影响是土著研究的一个未充分研究的部分。北美历史 关于迪斯玛尔河方面群体的社会身份和祖先的信息可能会对今天的后代社区感兴趣，他们正在努力重新获得土地，并在如何处理迪斯玛尔河方面太平间遗骸方面发表意见。 这项研究的结果将在一系列出版物中传播，并将通过考古记录的数字档案详细提供，使学者能够获得最终解释和原始数据。 这些成果将与收藏品所在的公共机构和各州历史学会分享，以便通过展示迪斯玛尔河方面的物质文化向公众传播信息。 与博物馆，历史学会，当地考古学家，后代群体和公众分享想法将确保更多地了解美洲原住民群体中新的和有弹性的社会身份的出现，以及这些人如何在史前时期抵抗殖民统治和文化灭绝。
