Referrals To Mental Health Treatment Facilities, Laura A. Dummit Jan 1978

Referrals To Mental Health Treatment Facilities, Laura A. Dummit

Honors Papers

This paper is organized into three main sections. The first is a review of the literature which serves as a theoretical background for this research. Social context is examined with its implications for defining problems in terms of mental or emotional concerns. Certain personal limitations on seeking help are discussed. The literature dealing with specific referral sources to mental health treatment are examined. The second section contains impressions gained from interviews with mental health professionals about the importance of the referral source on their evaluations of a client. They responded to questions about what people come to them, what information …


An Analysis Of Faunal And Human Osteological Remains From The Eiden Site (33 Ln 14) Of Sheffield, Ohio, Karen Elizabeth Dennis Jan 1978

An Analysis Of Faunal And Human Osteological Remains From The Eiden Site (33 Ln 14) Of Sheffield, Ohio, Karen Elizabeth Dennis

Honors Papers

The research project upon which this paper is based actually has been centered upon two separate though related foci: the first, laboratory analysis conducted by the author of the faunal remains collected during the summer 1977 season of evacuations at the Eiden site (33 ln 14), a late Woodlands occupation in Sheffield, Ohio; the second, work with fourteen of the burials located during that season at that site. These two areas of investigation have an underlying relationship, centering upon my interest in determining the implications of the results of both for attempting a reconstruction of the probable subsistence patterns of …

Methodology For Analysis Of Diet Grit Size On Molar Attrition For Fourche Maline And Caddo People, Judith C. Stewart, Mary L. Powell, J. C. Rose Jan 1978

Methodology For Analysis Of Diet Grit Size On Molar Attrition For Fourche Maline And Caddo People, Judith C. Stewart, Mary L. Powell, J. C. Rose

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Using the Murphy (1959) system for scoring the degree of dentin exposure, Fourche Maline (Woodland) molars show a greater attrition rate than Caddo (Mississippian) molars. Archeological evidence suggests that this differential in attrition rates is caused by the use of stone grinders for food preparation in the Fourche Maline culture and their absence among the Caddo. Analysis of scratches on the occlusal surface of molars from these samples confirms this hypothesis. Several techniques for observing these scratches and reconstructing the grit sizes and grit particle frequencies responsible for this differential abrasion are evaluated.

Prehistoric Cremations From Nogales, Arizona *, Karl J. Reinhard, Jeff H. Shipman Jan 1978

Prehistoric Cremations From Nogales, Arizona *, Karl J. Reinhard, Jeff H. Shipman

Karl Reinhard Publications

In October, 1969, the Highway Salvage Section of the Arizona State Museum conducted emergency salvage excavations in conjunction with the construction of the Tucson-Nogales Highway. Ten cremations were recovered from a backhoe trench which had been placed within the city limits of Nogales, Arizona. Analysis of the cremations indicated cultural contact between the Trincheras culture of Sonora, Mexico, and the Hohokam culture of the Santa Cruz River Valley in southern Arizona.


Recent And Contemporary Foraging Practices Of The Harney Valley Paiute, Marilyn Dunlap Couture Jan 1978

Recent And Contemporary Foraging Practices Of The Harney Valley Paiute, Marilyn Dunlap Couture

Dissertations and Theses

Native plants still play an important part in the lives of some American Indians. This thesis describes recent foraging practices which persist among the Harney Valley Paiute, a group of Northern Paiute Indians which formerly occupied all of Harney Valley in southeastern Oregon. The field research was conducted from 1973 to 1978. The traditional seasonal harvest round is described as well as the identification, habitat, distribution, and seasonality of forty-one plant species. Native plant use, subsistence and the role of plants, foraging techniques, implements, processing, preservation, intertribal relations, trade patterns, and tribal movements are also presented.

The Supranational Organization Of Production: An Evolutionary Perspective, Alvin W. Wolfe Dec 1977

The Supranational Organization Of Production: An Evolutionary Perspective, Alvin W. Wolfe

Anthropology Faculty Publications

Traces human "modes of production" from primate tool use through a number of stages "upward" to the supranational system, seen as the latest "mode of production." This article presents theoretical aspects pretty well, but was widely misunderstood -- capitalists still thought I was bringing down the West, and Marxists throught I was being too kind to the corporations.

An Analysis Of The European Artifacts From Chota-Tanasee, An Eighteenth Century Overhill Cherokee Town, Robert Dolan Newman Dec 1977

An Analysis Of The European Artifacts From Chota-Tanasee, An Eighteenth Century Overhill Cherokee Town, Robert Dolan Newman

Masters Theses

Description and analysis of over 67,000 European artifacts and aboriginally modified European artifacts from Chota-Tanasee (40MR2-40MR62) provides a basis for future studies of similar European artifacts from Overhill Cherokee sites in the Little Tennessee Valley.

Dated European artifacts provided a means to construct a chronology of features and burials. Only 40 of 1086 features and two of 114 burials were dated to one of four periods of European economic and political influence. Thirty features and one burial date to the Colonial period corroborating accounts of Chota-Tanasee's size and importance during the mid-18th century. Too few features and burials date to …


Sexual Differences, Fluctuating Asymmetry And Their Implications In The Growth Rate And Developmental Stability Of The Permanent Dentition And The Primary Dermal Ridge Of The Fingers And Palms, Robert S. Webb Dec 1977

Sexual Differences, Fluctuating Asymmetry And Their Implications In The Growth Rate And Developmental Stability Of The Permanent Dentition And The Primary Dermal Ridge Of The Fingers And Palms, Robert S. Webb

Masters Theses

This study presents evidence that specific genetic material influences the growth rate and developmental stability of two genetic systems, dermal ridges and permanent dentition, having mutually exclusive developmental periods. Dermal ridges develop rapidly early in fetal life, while the permanent dentition develops slowly in a postnatal environment. Theories centering on the nature and effects of the specific genetic material (heterochromatin) are discussed and applied whenever possible.

The data for this investigation were collected from students in introductory anthropology classes at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The sample consists of fifty males and fifty females. Finger prints, palm prints and casts …


An Analysis Of East Tennessee Dalton Projectile Points, Wayne D. Roberts Dec 1977

An Analysis Of East Tennessee Dalton Projectile Points, Wayne D. Roberts

Masters Theses

East Tennessee projectile points, previously described as the Early Woodland period Candy Creek type, are analyzed. Through the intensive examination of 17 continuous attributes and three discrete attributes reflecting morphology, function and manufacturing techniques, 112 of these East Tennessee projectile points are compared with 46 Dalton and Quad projectile points from northern Alabama and 37 Hardaway-Dalton projectile points from the Piedmont of North Carolina. As a result of the observations and a linear discriminant function program, it is determined that the Candy Creek projectile point is a regional variant of the Dalton projectile point type. Dalton manifestations described in the …


Oystering In Kent Narrows, Maryland, A. Clayton Schofield Nov 1977

Oystering In Kent Narrows, Maryland, A. Clayton Schofield

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Kent Narrows is one of the many small fishing areas located along the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. The fishing industry located there concentrates on the harvesting and canning of Chesapeake Bay shellfish, specifically oysters, crabs, and clams. This study is concerned with the collection of the traditional elements of the three occupations comprising the oyster harvest at Kent Narrows: (a) handtonging, (b) oyster shucking, and (c) blacksmithing of the oystermen's tools. Although the Kent Narrows oyster industry has developed since the 1930s, many of the traditional tools and work situations were borrowed from other fishing areas of the Bay. …
