A two-phase archeological project was carried out at Fort Johnson, South Carolina (38CH275) during January and March 1976 to evaluate the archeological resources that would be impacted by the construction of the Southeast Utilization Research Center. The survey phase of the project utilized a subsurface sampling technique based upon the random placement of test cores throughout the site. This phase of the project revealed a single component shell midden associated exclusively with Hanover Ware ceramics and the second phase of the project was performed to intensively investigate this midden. Separate activity areas were delineated during this excavation and two radiocarbon …

Archaeology On State Highway 16: The Crystal Rivers Site, John Esten Keller

Documents from the Texas State Department of Highways

The Crystal Rivers Site (41 BX 195) was recorded during a survey of State Highway 16 in May 1973. The site consists of an extensive occupation area with its prominent feature being a large, but scattered, burned rock midden. The site is located on the east bank of a western tributary of Government Canyon Creek approximately two miles southeast of the small community of San Geronimo in Bexar County. Due to the extensive accumulation of cultural material within the right-of-way of the proposed widening of State Highway 16, further investigation was recommended. Thoughout July of 1973, under Antiquities Permit No. …

I Love Ta Plow: The Role Of Traditional Farm Women In Peytonsburg, Kentucky, Linda White

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study is a development of the work roles of traditional farm women in Peytonsburg, Kentucky. Peytonsburg is a relatively isolated area along the western border of the Appalachians. Traditional processes such as broom-making, chair-making, quilting, spinning and traditional farming are still practiced there.

Taped interviews were conducted with seven women ranging from sixty-five to eighty-eight years old. The women were questioned concerning their house and field cores as well as their philosophies and attitudes toward their life styles. It was revealed in this study that the traditional farm women of this area work throughout the year to keep the …

A Zooarchaeological Analysis Of Vertebrate Remains From Chota-Tanasi, A Historic Cherokee Village In East Tennessee, Arthur E. Bogan

Masters Theses

This study involves the examination and analysis of a faunal sample from the historic Overhill Cherokee village of Chota-Tanasi (4MR2-40MR62), Monroe County, Tennessee. A total of 33,385 pieces of bone was examined in an effort to determine which animals were utilized by the Cherokee and the probably importance of each species in the Cherokee diet. Analyses of this material showed that deer, bear, and turkey were the most important animals contributing to the meat diet. Ethnographic and historic sources suggest that the introduction of trade guns may have led to increased exploitation of the bear. Available data indicate that bison …

The Reliability Of Selected Weather Beliefs, Judith Sadewasser

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Thirty Kentucky weather beliefs--twenty of which were considered to be scientifically valid while ten were not--were annotated, documented and discussed. It was shown that the weather beliefs which had scientific explanations were usually concerned with forecasts associated with rain and that most often they were based on observable atmospheric conditions. It was further shown that those beliefs which were not considered scientifically valid usually had an element of truth but were not considered plausible for one of the following reasons. First, there was evidence that some of these weather beliefs had been garbled during the process of oral transmission. Second, …

Contributions To Tualatin Ethnography: Subsistence And Ethnobiology, Henry B. Zenk

Dissertations and Theses

There is a considerable amount of unpublished source material on Kalapuyan ethnography. This consists primarily of manuscript field notes from three linguistically trained scholars: Albert S. Gatschet, who collected Kalapuyan linguistic and ethnographic data during a visit to Grand Ronde Reservation in 1877, Leo J. Frachtenberg, who worked with a number of Kalapuyan informants from 1913 to 1915, and Melville Jacobs, who worked with the last surviving speakers of Kalapuyan languages during a number of sessions between 1928 and 1936. Data from these three authorities, plus other available data, reveal many details about aboriginal Kalapuyan life ("aboriginal" here referring to …

The Morphology Of The Axillary Border Of The Scapula With Special Reference To The Neandertal Problem, Carol B. Dittner

Masters Theses

Controversy concerning Neandertal man’s place in anatomically modern man’s ancestry continues today, 120 years after the discovery of the first Neandertal at Dusseldorf. The major emphasis of this controversy concerns the cranium. In the postcranial material, however, there are two areas which exhibit morphological differences from modern man, all other postcranial features being within the ranges of variation of modern man. These two different postcranial features are: the morphology of the superior pubic ramus of the innominate and the morphology of the axillary border of the scapula. This thesis is concerned with the latter feature.

While the axillary borders of …

Social And Economic Constraints On Child Life Among The !Kung, Patricia Draper

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

The usual approach in studies of socialization is to look at the interaction among cultural values, social structure, and child-training practices. The approach used here evolved during my two years in the field living with the !Kung, when it became clear to me that the major constraints on child life derived from the nature of adult work and from the organization of people in space. By the "nature of adult work" I refer to the hunting and gathering subsistence economy, to the rhythm of work routines, and to the accommodation to scarce and unevenly distributed water sources. By "organization of …
