Human Genetic Isolation And Population Structure Of Hancock County, Tennessee, James R. Kirkland

Masters Theses

A study of the population structure of Hancock County, Tennessee, was conducted in order to determine the degree of genetic isolation, and the likelihood of random genetic drift, experienced by the county population. Genealogical information for the study was obtained from a random sample of the population utilizing two series of questionnaires. In all, data were obtained for 275 couples from all areas of Hancock County.

Four main analytical steps were taken with these data to determine: (1) the amount of inbreeding, through a surname isonymy study, (2) the effective population size, (3) the patterns of human movement, primarily marital …

A Metrical Analysis Of The Morphological Relationship Between Prehistoric Dallas And Historic Cherokee Skeletal Populations In East Tennessee, Moira H. M. Wright

Masters Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to define and quantify the morphological relationship between prehistoric Dallas and historic Overhill Cherokee skeletal populations in east Tennessee in order to test two theories concerning Cherokee prehistory in the eastern Tennessee Valley. One theory states that the Cherokee did not arrive in the Valley until long after European contact; the other theory suggest that the Cherokee have possibly been occupying this area since as early as the Archaic period.

Methods of metrical analysis currently in use in physical anthropological research were used to test these two theories. The morphological distance between Dallas and …

Bilateral Variation In Man: Handedness, Handclasping, Armfolding And Mid-Phalangeal Hair, Carol J. Loveland

Masters Theses

A study of bilateral variation among individuals from three populations was conducted. One sample consisted of 174 Cashinahua Indians who reside along the Curanja River in the Peruvian rain forest. A second group was composed of 286 students from anthropology classes at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Eighty-six families, including 372 individuals, constituted the third sample.

Four laterality traits - handedness, armfolding, handclasping, and mid-phalangeal hair - were analyzed by population and by individual family.

The most interesting variation occurred in the frequency of right and left handclasping and in the presence or absence of mid-phalangeal hair. The percentage of …

A Phonemic And Phonetic Analysis Of The Folk Speech Of Bedford County, Tennessee, Anthony Patterson Cavender

Masters Theses

Until recently, no systematic study of Tennessee folk speech had been performed. This study, descriptive in scope, will help fill a void and provide valuable data for determining Tennessee's relationship to other American dialects.

Five informants, each one fitting Hans Kurath's Type I, Group A classification, were interviewed using The Questionnaire for the Investigation of American Regional English: Based on the Work Sheets of the Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada (Orton and Wright, 1972). The phonological material obtained from the five tape recorded interviews is presented in a unitary phonemic system along with characteristic allophonic and free …
