Memphis Defense Depot Hazardous Waste, Mayfield

 "Operations at the depot began in January 1942, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officially activated the site as the Memphis General Depot. The depot provided supplies including clothing, food, medical supplies, electronic equipment, petroleum products, and industrial chemicals.

 It had 130 buildings and over 4,000,000 square feet (370,000 m2) of indoor storage.[1]

Eventually, the disposal of chemicals began at the site. This included the disposal of leaking mustard bombs at Dunn Field, a field located on the property. 

From 1942 until 1962 the installation performed Army supply and was known variously as the Memphis Quartermaster Depot, Memphis Army Service Forces Depot, and the Memphis General Depot.[1]

In 1992, the 632-acre base was placed on the list of Superfund sites maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because "chemicals from the wastes that were released on site resulted in contaminated soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment."[2] According to the EPA, significant cleanup has been achieved.[2]

In 1995, the depot was placed on the closure list of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission and on September 30, 1997, it was closed. Since that year, 94% of the facilities have been returned to public use. "

The Problem

The Defense Distribution Depot of Memphis, Tennessee (DDDMT) has been a site of toxic contamination for almost 50 years. 

Tests show soil and groundwater beneath the depot to be tainted with chemicals that include potentially cancer-causing trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and toxic metals. This contamination comes from the use of pesticides, solvents, fuels, and other hazardous compounds. 

Officials believe the contamination is restricted to a shallow aquifer, but are concerned that it could move into the deeper Memphis Sand aquifer that supplies the city's water.

 A community organization has formed from the all-Black community surrounding the DDDMT called the Defense Depot of Memphis, Tennessee, Concerned Citizens Committee (DDMT-CCC). 

They believe the contamination has spread into the community and is posing significant health threats to its residents. The military is responsible for cleaning up these toxins and are making no effort towards a possible solution. No one seems to be taking responsibility for the contamination of workers while the DDDMT was in operation or the contamination of residents in nearby communities.

Background

1942

Depot operated by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers as a storage and maintenance site for the army's engineer, chemical, and quartermaster corps.

1954-1970s

Toxic substances handled in a building at the depot

Feb. 7, 1992

DDDMT proposed to be on the EPA's National Priority List (NPL). The site would be eligible for long-term remedial action financed by the Superfund.

Oct. 14, 1992

DDDMT was one of seven federal facility sites added to the NPL. As of this date, work had been completed on 5% of the sites put on the list and three fourths of the 1,208 sites on the list were only in early stages of cleanup.

Nov. 24, 1993

A Pentagon report lists the DDDMT as one of many defense installations that may contain chemical weapons or chemical warfare contamination. The wastes may be in more than one location at the facility.

June 1995

DDDMT voted to be closed down. The depot acted mainly as a warehousing function. 

It also provided support during the Gulf War and supplied body bags for victims of the Oklahoma City bombing.

 Depot has to be closed within five years by law. The city will get first chance at aquriring the 642 acres and 28 miles of paved streets at the depot. Half of the 1,367 lost jobs will be relocated to other depots. 80% of the workers are African-American, closing the plant may increase unemployment in Memphis from 9% to 9.6%.

Oct. 1995

Defense Depot of Memphis, Tennessee, Concerned Citizens Committee (DDMT-CCC) formed.

Dec. 19, 1995

City counsel approved Mayor W.W. Herenton's 8 nominees and 2 advisory members for the Memphis Depot Redevelopment Agency.

J

Sept. 28, 1997

DDDM officially closed

Mar. 25, 1997

Commissioners approved the Memphis Depot Redevelopment Plan. The plan will reuse the 642 acre DDDM property for light industrial operations and public property service.

Jan. 1998

2 sites identified in a new $302 mil., 22 year master plan for the Memphis Park system.(50 acres on southeast corner of depot and 38 acres on northeast corner of depot)

March 1998

Residents see neighbors stricken with cancer. Concerns mount about long-ago waste-disposal practices.

 The health department performs a community survey about "what they know and what they want to know". Officials attend meetings of neighborhood associations and incorporate those findings into the survey. Once survey results are compiled, environmental health education opportunities can be created to deal with the issues of greatest interest to residents.

August 1998

Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Solid Waste Management proposes to terminate the container storage portion of the hazardous waste permit for the United States Department of Defense (DOD) Logistics agency, DDDM. The operational portion of the permit was for a proposed hazardous waste container storage area, which was never constructed.

Key Actors

Defense Depot of Memphis, Tennessee, Concerned Citizens Committee (DDDMT-CCC):

About 500 members, Doris and Kenneth Bradshaw are principal organizers. Organized after realizing the threat the DDDM posed to their community. Believe what the government has done and is doing to handle the situation at the DDDM constitutes environmental racism.

U.S Department of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA):

Responsible for all contamination and necessary cleanup of contamination at site. Refuses to contribute anywhere near the amount of funding necessary for cleaning up the DDDM.

 Have done a few cleanups on the site because, "there are too many environmental groups not to do anything." 

They believe there is no proof to link the contamination of surrounding areas to the activities of the DDDMT. Their argument is that contamination could come from factories, oil from car repair places nearby, or the airport.

City council:

Decides if the city will develop at the DDDMT. Member Janet Hooks said the city would not take title of depot property until it is clean and safe.

Memphis Depot Redevelopment Agency:

Developed a plan for the civilian use of the DDDM. The members are; Janet Hooks, Olivia Dobbins, Joe Emison, Albert Crawford, Azzie Haris, Christina Munson, Steven Yukel, and Michael Kennedy. 

Members of the advisory committee are Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.) and Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).

Health Department:

Conducted a survey of area residents to gauge level of knowledge and concern about the environment. The results of this study have not been determined.

State Officials:

Do not believe there is "any current significant health risk associated with the depot," said Jordon English, Memphis field office manager for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation's division of Superfund.

Metropolitan Interface Association (MIFA):

Runs the low-income housing project on the DDDMT property. This facility houses expecting mothers and many children.

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers:

This agency conducted on site investigations of the toxic and dangerous substances at the DDDMT. They also installed monitoring wells to determine groundwater contamination. Contracted for a groundwater extraction system at the site.

Strategies Used

The DDDMT-CCC has not been successful at any lawsuits they have attempted. Kenneth Bradshaw (member of DDDMT-CCC) believes this lack of success is due to racism within the system. He states knowledge of cases similar to theirs that have been won by white environmental groups. State and federal agencies have made efforts to listen to what the public has to say, but these only seem to be efforts to improve public relations. They have not really done anything to meet the demands of the DDDMT-CCC. Gaining media recognition of this issue has been the most successful strategy used to encourage the cleanup of contaminated areas.

Solutions

A few on site cleanups have been performed at the DDDMT. Wells have been installed by the U.S Army Corp of Engineers to intercept the groundwater contamination that has occurred at the DDDMT. A cleanup has been done of an area on the depot property that contained a MIFA housing project. Two underground storage tanks (diesel and gasoline) have been removed from the Depot's former gas station. Dieldrin, a pesticide, at the site was 4,000 ppm (20x higher than the level EPA considers it hazardous). This and lead poisoning at the site brought outside pressure from the DDDMT- CCC. The DLA cleaned this mess up, but still is doing nothing to clean contamination outside the depot property. The DLA says there is nothing proven to indicate the DDDMT's activities have affected the outside community.

Recommendations

The DDDMT-CCC should continue to utilize their resources as best as possible. Perhaps they should work on gathering evidence to build up a case for the necessity for a cleanup in the area surrounding the Depot. However, this could be beyond the scope of their organization. The greatest success in this case has been due to public concern resulting from increased media coverage. If more effort could be made specifically to increase the concern and awareness of this issue amongst the general public the DDDMT-CCC could experience an increase its power to influence decision-making.

New Years Eves, Jan 2 1999, Jolly Klickitat

 "KLICKITAT COUNTY: Police find knife, seek van in triple stabbing

Sun | Local

The Associated Press — Jan 2nd, 1999

________

"KLICKITAT - This county's new sheriff says he has good leads but no suspects in the New Year's Eve stabbing deaths of two men and a pregnant woman.

Klickitat County Sheriff-elect Bob Kindler said the case is being investigated as a triple homicide. He offered no possible motive.

Kindler said investigators were searching for a silver van with Oregon license plates. The sheriff added investigators don't know whether they're looking for one killer or more.

"There's no way for me to try to guess how many people were involved," he said Friday.

He also said he hoped autopsies would help his officers determine whether a knife recovered a few blocks from the homicide scene was the murder weapon.

Investigators, including a team from the Washington state crime lab, gathered evidence Friday at an upstairs apartment in the Teacher's Alley apartment building. Two victims were found in the apartment.

Dispatchers received a call shortly before 5 a.m. Thursday saying that someone had been injured in Klickitat. Deputies found the body of the first man, clad in boxer shorts, on the front steps of a vacant house. A trail of blood led to the apartment about a block away, where officers found the bodies of another man and the woman. They also found a crying 1-year-old girl locked inside.

"We are not sure exactly what happened," said Klickitat County Deputy Prosecutor Gwendolyn Grundei, who also is the county's deputy coroner.

Grundei said the killings were estimated to have occurred between 2:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Grundei did not release the victims' names.

The building's owner, Basil Bartholomew, said he was called by deputies and asked to open the apartment.

"I didn't have a key, so they wound up kicking the door in," Bartholomew said.

"The saddest part is they killed this 1-year-old's mother right in front of her.

 They brought the little girl down for me to watch for a minute," he said. "She was so much in shock she wouldn't even squeeze my finger. I put my finger out and she wouldn't even grip it."

Nathan Steindorf, a volunteer firefighter who lives in the apartment building, said shortly after 2 a.m. he heard screaming and then heard a person running down the stairs, followed 30 seconds later by the sound of another person running down the stairs.

Steindorf was one of the first firefighters on the street where the dead man was found.

"There was blood all over the place," he said. "It was a big old mess."

Bartholomew said the woman had lived in Parkdale, Ore., and White Salmon before moving to Klickitat. He said she had rented the apartment for the past two months.

"After she moved in, boyfriends started coming to the place," he said.

The boyfriends brought problems with them, Bartholomew said. A November weekend party thrown by the men while the woman was away was so loud that Bartholomew served her with eviction papers on the following Monday.

"She came to me and begged to stay another month," he said. 

"That month was up today.

 I guess she won't have to worry about it."

Klickitat County deputies were joined by Goldendale police, Washington State Patrol troopers and Skamania County deputies as the investigation continued.

Klickitat is a south-central Washington farming community of about 600 people. It's located about 13 miles north of the Columbia River.

"Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West (October 6, 1924 – January 2, 1999) was an American psychiatrist whose work focused particularly on cases where subjects were "taken to the limits of human experience".

 He performed a highly controversial psychiatric evaluation of Jack Ruby, and he was in charge of UCLA's department of psychiatry and the Neuropsychiatric Institute for 20 years.

West was deeply involved in Korean War-era CIA brainwashing experiments, the Agency's notorious[1] MK-Ultra mind-control program, and the use and intentional abuse of LSD (as it being administered to unwitting people, who then suffered traumatic hallucinations) – even at one point killing an elephant with it.

West was also active in studying the creation and management of cults, and anti-death penalty activism"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West 

"In the 1950s, West, then an Air Force doctor at Lackland Air Force Base,[5] was appointed to a panel to discover why 36 of 59 airmen captured in the Korean War had confessed or co-operated in Korean allegations of war crimes committed by the United States.

 Amid speculation that the airmen had been brainwashed or drugged, West came to a simpler conclusion: "What we found enabled us to rule out drugs, hypnosis or other mysterious trickery," he said. "

It was just one device used to confuse, bewilder and torment our men until they were ready to confess to anything. 

That device was prolonged, chronic loss of sleep."

Son of Jean de de Lanoy and Marie Mahieu

In November 1621 Philip Delano arrived in Plymouth Colony as a single man on the ship Fortune.

 While Bangs states that he was 16 years of age when he arrived he was actually closer to 20 though it is speculated he must at this time have been a servant of one of the other passengers, as he was a minor.[1][3]. 

Approximately 65 passengers embarked on Mayflower in the middle of July 1620 at either Blackwall or Wapping on the River Thames.[10] The ship then proceeded down the Thames into the English Channel and then on to the south coast of England to anchor at Southampton Water. 

She waited there for a rendezvous on July 22 with the Speedwell, which was coming from Holland with English separatist Puritans, members of the Leiden congregation who had been living in Holland to escape religious persecution in England, including Delano his uncle Francis Cooke and his cousin John Cooke.

 Both ships set sail for America around August 5, but Speedwell sprang a leak shortly after, and the two ships were brought into Dartmouth for repairs. They made a new start after the repairs, and they were more than 200 miles (320 km) beyond Land's End at the southwestern tip of England when Speedwell sprang another leak. It was now early September, and they had no choice but to abandon Speedwell and make a determination on her passengers. This was a dire event, as the ship had wasted vital funds and was considered very important to the future success of their settlement in America. 

Both ships returned to Plymouth, where some of Speedwell passengers joined Mayflower and others returned to Holland. Mayflower then continued on her voyage to America, and Speedwell was sold soon afterwards.[11].

 It appears Delano did not make the cut so came the next year. 

He may have lived first in Plymouth with his uncle, Mayflower passenger Francis Cooke and his son. Philippe's maternal aunt, Hester (Mahieu) was married to Cooke.

Philippe died in Bridgewater Mass. 1681. He was married first in 1634 & 2d 1657 & had five sons & four daughters. He used the names peculiar to this line; Thus Philippe — Jean — ? Gysbert — Jean — Philippe — (1621) — Philip Jr. & John (Jean). He appears on Hotten's List of Emigres to America as: "Philip De La Noye."

 He left Leiden to join the ship "Fortune " the first vessel to follow the "Mayflower." 

It came from London England bringing the Patent of Government, John Pierce & 35 colonists. They landed at Plymouth Massachusetts on November the eleventh 1621.

 It was at this time that the Narragansets sent the famous bundle of arrows tied with a snake skin to Gov. Bradford, who returned it stuffed with powder and bullets.

"The Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to purify the Church of England of Roman Catholic practices, maintaining that the Church of England had not been fully reformed and should become more Protestant."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puritans

" Originally, Puritan was a pejorative term characterizing certain Protestant groups as extremist. 

Thomas Fuller, in his Church History, dates the first use of the word to 1564. Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and precisian with a sense similar to the modern stickler"

"Puritans should not be confused with more radical Protestant groups of the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Quakers, Seekers, and Familists, who believed that individuals could be directly guided by the Holy Spirit and prioritized direct revelation over the Bible.[12]

In current English, puritan often means "against pleasure". In such usage, hedonism and puritanism are antonyms.[13]

 Puritans embraced sexuality but placed it in the context of marriage. Peter Gay writes of the Puritans' standard reputation for "dour prudery" as a "misreading that went unquestioned in the nineteenth century", commenting how unpuritanical they were in favour of married sexuality, and in opposition to the Catholic veneration of virginity, citing Edward Taylor and John Cotton.[14]

 One Puritan settlement in western Massachusetts banished a husband because he refused to fulfill his sexual duties to his wife"

"The Pilgrims were the English settlers who came to North America on the Mayflower and established the Plymouth Colony in what is today Plymouth, Massachusetts, named after the final departure port of Plymouth, Devon. 

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownists, or Separatist Puritans, who had fled religious persecution in England for the tolerance of 17th-century Holland in the Netherlands.

They held many of the same Puritan Calvinist religious beliefs but, unlike most other Puritans, they maintained that their congregations should separate from the English state church, which led to them being labeled Separatists. 

After several years living in exile in Holland, they eventually determined to establish a new settlement in the New World and arranged with investors to fund them. 

They established Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Pilgrims' story became a central theme in the history and culture of the United States."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilgrims_(Plymouth_Colony)

"The Separatist movement was controversial. Under the Act of Uniformity 1559, it was illegal not to attend official Church of England services, with a fine of one shilling (£0.05; about £19 today)[4] for each missed Sunday and holy day. 

The penalties included imprisonment and larger fines for conducting unofficial services. The Seditious Sectaries Act of 1593 was specifically aimed at outlawing the Brownists. 

Under this policy, the London Underground Church from 1566, and then Robert Browne and his followers in Norfolk during the 1580s, were repeatedly imprisoned. Henry Barrow, John Greenwood, and John Penry were executed for sedition in 1593. "

"William Brewster found himself involved with religious unrest emerging in Scotland. In 1618, King James had promulgated the Five Articles of Perth which were seen in Scotland as an attempt to encroach on their Presbyterian tradition. Brewster published several pamphlets that were critical of this law, and they were smuggled into Scotland by April 1619. 

These pamphlets were traced back to Leiden, and the English authorities unsuccessfully attempted to arrest Brewster. English ambassador Dudley Carleton became aware of the situation and began pressuring the Dutch government to extradite Brewster, and the Dutch responded by arresting Thomas Brewer the financier in September. Brewster's whereabouts remain unknown between then and the colonists' departure, but the Dutch authorities did seize the typesetting materials which he had used to print his pamphlets. 

Meanwhile, Brewer was sent to England for questioning, where he stonewalled government officials until well into 1620. He was ultimately convicted in England for his continued religious publication activities and sentenced in 1626 to a 14-year prison term."

"n the United States, members of the Delano family include U.S. presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge, astronaut Alan B. Shepard, and writer Laura Ingalls Wilder. 

Its progenitor is Philippe de Lannoy (1602–1681), a Pilgrim of Walloon descent, who arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the early 1620s.

 His descendants also include Eustachius De Lannoy (who played an important role in Indian History), Frederic Adrian Delano, Robert Redfield, and Paul Delano.

 Delano family forebears include the Pilgrims who chartered the Mayflower, seven of its passengers, and three signers of the Mayflower Compact."

George Soule (c. 1601 – between 20 September 1677 and 22 January 1679)[1] was a colonist who was one of the indentured servants on the Mayflower and helped establish Plymouth Colony in 1620.[1]

 He was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact."

"It is known that George came on the Mayflower and was credited to the household of Edward Winslow as a manservant or apprentice, along with Elias Story and a little girl Ellen More, who both died in the first winter.[2][self-published source][3][4] George Soule was mentioned in Bradford's recollections of the Winslow group: "Mr. Edward Winslow; Elizabeth, his wife; and *2* men servants, called Georg Sowle and Elias Story; also a little girle was put to him, called Ellen, sister of Richard More".[5] He continues: "Mr. Ed. Winslow his wife dyed the first winter; and he is maried with the widow of Mr. White, and hath *2* children living by her marigable besides sundry that are dead. One of his servants dyed, as also the little girle, soone after the ships arrival. But this man Georg Sowle, is still living and hath *8* children".[6]

Earlier researchers into Soule's origin believed in the London association of Winslow and Soule.[7] Thus, based on this belief, and for five years ending in 2009, noted Mayflower researcher and biographer Caleb Johnson managed a fairly intensive search for Soule's English origins; he examined a number of likely 'George Soules' in various parts of England and subsequently concluded that the most promising candidate of all the 'George Soules' he reviewed was that of Tingrith, Bedfordshire, baptized in February 1594/5.[8]

More recent work in 2017 has identified the parents of George Soule through a high-quality Y-DNA match[clarification needed] of Soule with families in Scotland and Australia. 

Following up on research published by Louise Walsh Throop in 2009, the DNA study pointed to Soule's parents as Jan Sol and his wife Mayken Labis, who are identified by their marriage as Protestant refugees in London, England, in 1586 and by the baptisms of their children before 1600 in Haarlem, Holland.[9] 

Their eldest known son Johannes Sol is identified by his baptism in 1591, as well as by his permissions in both Haarlem and Leyden to marry in Leyden. Johannes Sol, a printer in Leyden with one known publication, died suddenly, probably while helping William Brewster in the presswork for the Perth Assembly.[9] 

His apprentice, Edward Raban, apparently fled to Scotland in 1619 in order to avoid being apprehended by agents of the King of England.

 It appears he was accompanied by the pregnant widow of his master and probably took with him the missing press of Brewster, as well as the telltale type and initials from Brewster; Raban also apparently took with him the Sol press and type.

 Edward Raban in 1622 published a very veiled version of his master's shocking death, well hidden in a discussion of drunkenness and resultant whoredom.[10]

 It would appear all helpers in the press work and distribution of "Perth Assembly" took an oath of silence that was never breached, even after King James I died in 1625.[11]

Some researchers have pointed to circumstantial evidence that George Soule's family may have had Sephardic (Converso) Jewish roots, due to "Sol/Soule" being a common Sephardic name[12] and "Soule" (the version George used in his will) being a Basque province.[13]

 Soule's daughter-in-law, Rebecca Simonson, daughter of colonist, Moses Simonson, may have had Jewish ancestry,[14][15] and Soule's printing colleague, Edward "Raban was from a Jewish-descended family in Germany."[16]

***

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephardi_Jews

"The divisions among Sephardim and their descendants today are largely a result of the consequences of the royal edicts of expulsion. Both the Spanish and Portuguese edicts ordered their respective Jewish residents to choose one of three options:

to convert to Catholicism and be allowed to remain within the kingdom,

to remain Jewish and be expelled by the stipulated deadline, or

to stay and be summarily executed as Jews."

It is likely[according to whom?] that George's presumed father Jan Sol, who married as a refugee in 1586 in London, was the grandson of Jan van Sol.[citation needed] This Jan van Sol was a zealous opponent of Anabaptism, which he saw in 1550 as divided into three movements: the Melchiorites (the peaceful Mennonite group), the Davidites, and the Batenburgers.[17]

 Jan van Sol was born at Dordrecht, in South Holland, but left the Netherlands in 1530 because of debts (he kept an inn there) and went east to Danzig. There he was known as Johann/Jan Solius (the Latin version of his name). In 1536 he bought the "Robitten" estate near Bardeyn in East Prussia.

 He returned in 1550 to Brussels but may have spent his last years, until about 1556, in the territory of Preussisch-Holland. A presumed son born about 1525, and by naming patterns was probably named Georg, would have married about 1555 perhaps in Brussels, and thus would have been the father of Jan Sol of the 1586 marriage record in London. This Jan Sol and wife Maecken had seven children baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of Haarlem in 1590–99"

".On 9/19 November 1620, after about 2 months at sea, preceded by a month of delays in and around England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called Provincetown Harbor. After several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on 11/21 November.[19]

On 11 November 1620, Soule and others signed the Mayflower Compact.[1] Soule and three others were under 21 years of age, and one of the three had a baptismal record showing he was just 20 years old at the time of signing. 

It appears the signers were members of a church group, where the age of membership was 18. The original compact was lost. It was published, without any signers' names appended, several times after 1620.

 It was not until almost 50 years after the signing that the Compact was published with the names of the signers.

 Thus the print work crew of Brewster, Winslow, Soule and others was sheltered from exposure to the agents of King James I of England. 

When finally published with all names of signers, only Soule was still alive from the print work crew."

"The territory is named Xiberoa in Souletin Basque, Zuberoa in standard Basque, Sola in Gascon and Soule in French; all of them derivate from Subola, previous name of the region attested for the first time in the year 635 in the diaries of a Franco-Burgundian expedition led by Duke Arnebert against the Basques.

 Subola comes from the name the Romans gave to the Aquitani tribe that inhabited the region by the time of their arrival, the Suburates, also called Sibusates by Julius Caesar in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico and Sybillates by Pliny the Elder"

"Soule has been continuously inhabited since the last glaciation, there are several deposits from the neolithic as well as fifteen protohistoric settlements. The first text written in Soule dates from the 7th century.

Ancient Soule

The territory was already inhabited in the Middle Paleolithic; Neanderthal prehistoric settlements have been found in the caves of Xaxixiloaga in Aussurucq and Etxeberri. At the end of the Neolithic the population had extended and assimilated knowledge from other peoples. 

There are protohistoric settlements that show a simple material life and a lifestyle dominated by migration. Rests of coins and other monetary artifacts have been found, proving the existence of an exchange economy in Soule, which very likely worked as an access point between Aquitaine—Novempopulania—in the north and the southern side of the Pyrenees.

At the time of the Roman arrival in the 1st century, Soule was inhabited by an Aquitani tribe named Suburates, who spoke the Aquitanian language (a form of Proto-Basque). 

As with other peoples in "Aquitaine, the Romans had a somewhat important influence in the territory, although Soule kept its language and culture and was relatively unimportant during the times of the Roman Empire, due to its isolation. "

Perth Assembly was a controversial book published by the Pilgrims in Leiden in 1619 the year before they departed in the Mayflower for Massachusetts; the book was smuggled into Scotland in wine vats.

[1] King James I was offended by the book which was critical of the Five Articles of Perth which had been ratified by the General Assembly in Perth in 1618 and forced the episcopacy form of church governance on Scotland.[2]

 The printer was Johannes Sol ("Soule") and the primary publishers were Thomas Brewer and William Brewster who went into hiding in 1619 before surreptitiously departing for Plymouth to escape threat of arrest. 

Other Pilgrims, such as George Soule (presumably the brother of the printer Johannes Sol), were also believed to have been involved in the printing of the book, and the controversy caused them to flee on the Mayflower and disguise their origins.[3] 

Johannes Sol's apprentice, Edward Raban, fled to Scotland in 1620 with Sol's pregnant widow after his death in a printing ink accident"
