Dermatoglyphics Of University Of Tennessee Students: Effects Of Parental Age And Birth Order, Letitia Lowe Oliveira

Doctoral Dissertations

The effect of parental age and birth order on dermatoglyphic variation was investigated in a sample of 460 phenotypically normal, Caucasian Americans. The sample consisted of students enrolled in introductory physical anthropology classes at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, during 1976-77. Twenty finger ridge counts, interdigital ridge counts, interdigital pattern ridge counts, and ridge width in the a-b area were utilized in this study.

In order to remove intercorrelations among dermatoglyphic variables, the dermatoglyphic data were factor analyzed, fingers and palms separately, for each sex. Twelve factors for fingers and 11 for palms were subjected to varimax rotation, and the …

Ethnography For Archaeology: A Functional Interpretation Of An Upper Great Lakes Prehistoric Fishing Artifact, Donald E. Weston

Masters Theses

Introduction and Problem

One of the basic and challenging tasks in archaeology is the interpretation of artifacts and the reconstruction of prehistoric cultures. Difficulties arise primarily because (1) not all past human behavior is manifest in the archaeological record, and (2) that which remains is only adequately represented. Our success at understanding prehistory is further limited by differential preservation, lack of representative samples, and loss of contextual data. Even with the use of sophisticated recovery techniques, vigorous analysis, and statistical manipulation it is seldom possible to arrive at neat reconstructions. Prehistory is, after all, the indirect study of human behavior …

Windy Ridge: A Prehistoric Site In The Inter-Riverine Piedmont In South Carolina, John H. House, Ronald W. Wogaman

Anthropological Studies

Windy Ridge, 38FAl18, is a prehistoric site located on a ridge top in the inter-riverine zone between the Catawba-Wateree and Broad rivers in Fairfield County in the Piedmont portion of South Carolina. In May and June, 1977, archeological excavations were conducted at Windy Ridge by John H. House and Ronald W. Wogaman of the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology, University of South Carolina, Columbia. These excavations were funded by the (then South Carolina Highway Department) South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation for the purpose of mitigating the loss of archeological resources due to construction of Interstate 77.

Adaptive Process On The Late Prehistoric Shortgrass Plains: Archaeological Study Of The Vore Site, A Buffalo Jump In The Black Hills Of Northeast Wyoming, Charles A. Reher

Anthropology ETDs

The Vore Site is a Late Prehistoric buffalo jump in the northern Red Valley, an open, well-watered valley that encircles most of the Black Hills. Stratified bone middens were found from a depth of about four feet to one of about seventeen feet in the bottom of a gypsum sink one-hundred feet across and fifty feet deep. Two seasons of intensive work excavated about 10,000 cubic feet of material, a 5 to 10% sample of the site. Typological evidence, radiocarbon dates and correlation of varved sediments and tree-rings indicate that over twenty separate bone lenses were laid down between about …

Latent Didactic Functions Of Tlingit Mythology: A Re-Evaluation Of Raven's Role In Northwest Coast Culture, Stephen Poyser

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A comparative study was conducted of several variants of the Raven cycle of myths as manifested among the Tlingit Indians of the Northwest Coast. The results of this folkloristic study indicate that the myths serve several didactic functions. In addition to the manifest function of explaining the origin of the present order of the world the myths also serve to provide members of the society with a classificatory system through which they are able to relate to observable phenomena within their environment. The myths also provide institutionalized behavioral alternatives available to the society as manifested by the actions of Raven, …

Hsus Investigation Leads To Fifty Arrests In Cockfight Raid

Close Up Reports

Because cockfighting is illegal in California, cockfights are held in the strictest secrecy. An HSUS undercover informant, posing as a cockfighting enthusiast, managed to win the confidence of some members of the cockfighting fraternity near Sacramento, California. After several months of undercover work, he was finally invited to a major Derby meet on Sunday, April 23rd. He immediately began arrangements to have the fight raided and participants arrested. Three members of the HSUS Investigations Department, Frantz Dantzler, Phil Steward, and Marc Paulhus, flew to California to set up the raid.

An Archaeological Survey Of The Middle Nolichucky River Basin, Calvert W. Mcilhany Iii

Masters Theses

A cultural history of the middle Nolichucky River Basin has been defined based on data obtained during a 1977 survey of 41 prehistoric archaeological sites. The area was sparsely occupied during the Paleo-Indian period, at least 10,000 years ago. More intensive occupations followed during the Early Archaic through Mississippian periods. Representative areas within four generalized biogeographic zones were examined with particular emphasis on locating prehistoric archaeological sites and lithic raw material sources. The small size of the cultural material sample and limited number of sites examined do not provide sufficient data to make specific conclusions about patterns of settlement and …

Anatomical Alterations Of The Pelvis: The Significance When Determining Childbirth And Sex, Connie Lynn Hall

Masters Theses

Research concerned with the osteological alterations in the pelvic girdle thought to be associated with pregnancy and parturition is fairly recent. Much of the research in this area has dealt with the osteological alterations seen on the anterior and posterior pubic facies. The research on the sacroiliac joint has leaned toward the preauricular sulcus of the ilium. Consequently, data pertaining to the osteological alterations thought to be associated with pregnancy and parturition seen on the lateral margins of the anterior face of the first through third sacral vertebrae are not complete. It is my intention in this thesis to demonstrate …

A Functional Analysis Of The Temporomandibular Joint In Homosapiens Sapiens And Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis, Janice Lynn Foxworthy

Masters Theses

Analysis of the temporomandibular region in Homo sapiens neanderthalensis reveals diagnostic morphological differences in comparison to the morphological pattern typically expressed in the temporomandibular joint region of Homo sapiens sapiens. The temporomandibular joint region in Neandertals is characterized by a (1) thickened tympanic ring, petrosal area, mandibular fossa roof, and temporal squama; (2) pronounced postglenoid process; (3) more oval external auditory meatus, directed anteriorly and superiorly, positioned relatively higher on the temporal bone; (4) wide shallow glenoid fossa; (5) formation of the glenoid fossa wall; and (6) prominently developed articular eminence. This thesis concentrates on the morphological variations expressed …
