Affiliating prehistoric archaeological cultures with contemporary Indigenous Nations in American archaeology is often met with skepticism. To overcome it, I use oral traditions of the migration of the Northern Caddoan-speaking tribes to construct a relative chronology for their movements into and within the Central Plains, and to identify population diffusion between the Chaticks-si-Chaticks (Pawnee) and Sahnish (Arikara). Using previous glottochronological analysis of linguistic separation between the Chaticks-si-Chaticks and Sahnish, I identify the fifteenth century as the time period of population separation. Summed Probability Distributions of radiocarbon dates from the Central Plains between 1250 BC and AD 1950 reveal significant population increase beginning in the eleventh century with a peak in the fifteenth century. Bayesian statistical analysis of radiocarbon data from Central Plains archaeological cultures reveals a sequential relationship from the Central Plains tradition into the Initial Coalescent Variant most likely during the fourteenth century, then from the Initial Coalescent Variant into the Extended Coalescent Variant (Proto-historic Sahnish) and Lower Loup Phase (Proto-historic Chaticks-si-Chaticks) most likely during the fifteenth century. The results of these analyses support several hypotheses: (1) the Chaticks-si-Chaticks and Sahnish are descendent communities of the Central Plains tradition and Initial Coalescent Variant populations, (2) oral tradition accounts of Northern Caddoan migration into the Central Plains from southeast of Nebraska are factual, (3) ethnogenesis of the Chaticks-si-Chaticks and Sahnish begins, ostensibly, by the sixteenth century. Most importantly, this study proves Indigenous oral traditions are an effective line of evidence for interpreting and understanding the archaeological record.
