The Cuneiform Tablets At Syracuse University, Marcel Segrist

The Courier

Among its rare book collections, the George Arents Research Library at Syracuse University has 489 clay tablets written 4000 years ago. All of these cuneiform tablets, composed in the Sumerian language, are accounting records. Although how the library came to have them is not documented, they seem to have been in the collection for at least a halfcentury, awaiting their rediscovery by Professor David I. Owen, chairman of the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. The tablets are being deciphered and copied by the present author, who will publish his work.

These tablets were made in the city …

Attitudes Of Secondary School Students In Israel Toward The Use Of Living Organisms In The Study Of Biology, Pinchas Tamir, Aliza Hamo

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

The study deals with attitudes and views of 456 Israeli students in grades 7, 9, and 11 regarding the use of living animals in research and biology instruction. It was found that most students are interested in studying live animals through direct observation and experiment and feel that this kind of learning is superior to learning from secondary sources. At the same time, however, most students exhibit concern for and affection toward living organisms in general and higher animals, especially pets and "beneficial" animals, in particular. The need to consider both sides of the issue is highlighted, and practical implications …

Patterns Of Protein-Energy Malnutrition Among Preschoolers In Belize, Carol Lynn Jenkins

Doctoral Dissertations

This study is based on a survey to assess nutritional status among children from birth through 5 years old in Belize, Central America. The survey was conducted in 1979 in two districts, one coastal (Stann Creek) and one inland (Cayo). Four major ethnic groups are represented: the Mestizo, Maya, Creole and Garifuna (Black Carib). Previous studies indicated that early childhood malnutrition is a considerable public health problem in Belize. No anthropometric assessment of protein-energy malnutrition among preschoolers had been conducted. In this project 750 children were measured and their mothers interviewed concerning the feeding patterns and health status of their …

A Petrographic Analysis Of Black Mesa, Arizona Ceramics, Elizabeth M. Garrett

Masters Theses

Seven ceramic types from excavated Anasazi sites on Black Mesa were examined petrographically in order: (1) to obtain an accurate description of the geologic tempering m aterial; (2) to determine if specific ceramic types from Black Mesa and the surrounding area share a common area of manufacture; and (3) to compare the tempering material in the ceramics with the mineralogical components in the Wepo and Toreva Formations in order to determine if the ceramic items contain locally available material.

Each of the ceramic types examined appear to have had more than one manufacturing locus. Only Black Mesa Black-on-white has temper …

The goals were achieved by two methods. First, the textbooks recommended for use by the …

An Analysis Of The Functional Significance And Sexual Dimorphism Of The Neandertal Mastoid Process, Terry Stewert Zobeck

Masters Theses

This study examines the functional significance and sexual dimorphism of the Neandertal mastoid process. The mastoid process is identified as a part of the Posterior Cranial Complex which includes the nuchal and occipital planes, and a portion of the basicranium as well as the mastoid region of the temporal bone.

In order to draw conclusions regarding the functional significance and sexual dimorphism of the mastoid process, a number of multivariate statistical techniques are applied to a modern human sample; the Larson Site Arikara.

The examination of the morphological features of the Neandertal posterior cranial vault (a relatively long, low and …

The Occurrence And Interpretation Of Trauma At The Larson Site, 39ww2, Walworth County, South Dakota, Lynn Meredith Deitrick

Masters Theses

Traumatic injury is one of the most common forms of pathology seen in skeletal collections. Because of its frequent occurrence and the types of behavior, such as warfare, athletics, and accidents, that cause these injuries, trauma is a useful indicator of the kinds of behavior of a study group.

The purpose of this research was to examine the skeletons from the Larson (39WW2) site cemetery and village in an attempt to determine the kinds of behavior patterns suggested by the traumatic injuries present in the samples.

A brief review of the demography of the Larson collections, age and sex determination …

Archeological Survey Of The Proposed Double Branch Interceptor Sewer: Lexington County, South Carolina, Jim Sexton

Research Manuscript Series

To assess the potential archeological impact by the proposed Double Branch Interceptor Sewer project for the City of West Columbia, the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology conducted a week long survey of the approximate four mile long sewerline right-of-way. The survey consisted of a pedestrian transect of the corridor to inspect exposed ground surfaces and a limited shovel testing program. Three sites were located adjacent to the right-of-way. If these sites are avoided during the construction phase, they should experience no adverse impacts. An archeological clearance is recommended for the fifty-foot right-of-way.

Prehistoric Human Populations And Resource Utilization In Kachemak Bay, Gulf Of Alaska, John Edward Lobdell

Doctoral Dissertations

The prehistory of Kachemak Bay, Gulf of Alaska, was reflected in the rich bioarchaeological and zooarchaeological components. The human skeletal remains provided a base for determinations of population affinities, demographic profiles, and pathologic investigations. Closely related are the nutritional resource remains that indicated the animal species utilized, reliance on selected resources, seasonality of procurement, and the periods of nutritional insufficiency.

Human osteological data indicated an Eskimoid stock with closest relationships to North Pacific Eskimo groups. Population profiles are conditioned by a high child mortality rate, but long life spans, at least in females, were realized. Other than a remarkable case …
