Probable Origins Of The Modern Pueblos, Nan Ashton Glenn

Anthropology ETDs

In the foregoing study of the Plains and the Pueblos as compared on a basis of social organization, it is apparent that there are at least three possible groupings of quite definitely similar organizations: the Tewa and the Pawnee, the Keresan and the Omaha, the Hopi and the Crow. Although the preliminary intention was to attempt the discovery of cultural parallels among cultures related linguistically, it was found that, due to lack of material, this plan was unfeasible. In extending the search for cultural affinities beyond limitations of linguistic boundaries, the above pairing of similar tribal organizations were encountered. Summaries …

The Identification And Distribution Of The Ceramic Types In The Rio Puerco Area, Central New Mexico, Dorothy Louise Luhrs

Anthropology ETDs

The Rio Puerco valley of the East has had a small proportion of human occupants with recent years and by the ceramic evidence available it is supposed that there was a small number of occupants living in the valley in prehistoric times. The earliest inhabitants probably entered the valley prior to channel trenching and surface denudation and possibly maintained small fields through flood water farming.

The ceramic evidence implies that there have been frequent group movements through the Rio Puerco area, thereby revealing the valley to be a migration route through which many different groups passed from early to late …

Nebraska Folklore: Pamphlet 3, Children's Singing Games, Federal Writers' Project

Digitized Books

These games are all suitable for children in the grades. Some of them are also played by high school pupils and adults. Many of them can be adapted for dances or drills. They are all traditional, coming; to us for the most part from England or by way of England. The many versions indicate the local adaptations made during their travels to us from the Eastern Seaboard States.

Stephen Collins Foster & His Folk-Songs, Mary Chisholm

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Every American knows some of Stephen Collins Foster's songs, but not everyone who sings My Old Kentucky Home and Old Folks at Home realizes that it was he who wrote those songs. Of the two hundred songs and compositions which Foster published, at least fifteen are constantly sung. Since these songs voice emotions which are fundamental to mankind, they have become more important than the composer himself. For this reason they may be called folk-songs, and because they voice so truly the spirit of America, America is proud to claim them as her own.

The title of this thesis, Stephen …

Elizabethan Left-Overs In Allen County, Alfred Dalton

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study of the Elizabethan influences remaining in the spoken language of the people of Allen County, Kentucky, is an outgrowth of discussion in the English classes of Dr. Gordon Wilson, Western Kentucky State Teachers College, concerning the folklore of the present-day rural people of Kentucky. I have endeavored to give a true picture of the picturesque language of the farming people as they go about their every-day business of making a living, with particular emphasis upon those words and usages that are no longer considered in good use.

Erosion Control In Chaco Canyon, New Mexico For The Preservation Of Archaeological Sites, William Chauvenet

Anthropology ETDs

No accurate maps have been made of the whole region covered by this report. A very excellent aerial survey has been made of the Navajo Reservation, but this does not extend more than eight miles east of Wijiji, and does not show quite all of the Chaco canyon. No profile or cross-section of Chaco Canyon exists, except for the maps made by the National Parks Service. As these cover only about three-quarters of a mile, they are not of great assistance in matters concerned with the grade of the stream bed. They are a valuable start, however, and they have …

Preservation Of The Murals Of Kiva Iii, Kuaua Pueblo Ruins, Wesley Lloyd Bliss

Anthropology ETDs

A workman uncovered a small fragment of painted adobe plaster in the course of the excavating of the Kuaua (Tiguex) pueblo ruins, on Tuesday, February 12, 1935. These ruins are located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, one and one-half miles northwest of Bernalillo, Sandoval County, New Mexico. Gordon Vivian, in charge of the excavations, told me of this find and the following day we started to uncover paintings on a wall of what turned out to be an underground kiva. Part of the north wall and about one-half of the west wall were excavated, paintings were found …

The Excavation And Repair Of The Quarai Mission, Albert Grim Ely

Anthropology ETDs

The ruins of Quarai are owned by the University of New Mexico. The fifteen acres of property contain the mission and mounds of the early Tiwa Pueblo. The mission--church and monastery--which stands northeast of the pueblo houses was constructed during early Spanish times.

From May, 1934 to May, 1935, a project of the Civilian Construction Corps has been in progress, excavating and repairing this mission. The program, at the present time, is not complete, but it is expected that this phase of the project will be finished by late summer this year.

All the work was purely for the purpose …

A Prehistoric Habitation Site On The St. Croix River, Ralph D. Brown

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The recent report of the discovery of a prehistoric rock shelter or cave habitation site on the St. Croix River was received with considerable interest, for such sites have often been the source of important information in the field of archaeology. However, they are very rare in the Northwest; and, although in southern Minnesota there are in some places many caves and shelters, there is no evidence, with very few exceptions, that any of them was ever occupied. It was possible to excavate this shelter carefully and to preserve the evidences of prehistoric life which it contained. To date, it …
