An Experimental Study Of Small Animal Remains In Archaeological Pit Features, Thomas R. Whyte
An Experimental Study Of Small Animal Remains In Archaeological Pit Features, Thomas R. Whyte
Doctoral Dissertations
Shells of terrestrial snails and bones of small vertebrates such as toads, frogs, shrews, and mice are often recovered from pit features on archaeological sites in eastern North America. Attempts by archaeologists to reconstruct human subsistence behavior are impeded by an inability to determine whether these small animal remains represent cultural refuse or natural entrapment. An exploratory experimental program aimed at mitigating this dilemma was conducted along the Tennessee River near Knoxville, Tennessee from May 1985 to June 1986. The goals of this experimental program were to determine (1) the causes of natural entrapment of animals in pits, (2) the …
Lithic Analysis And The Discovery Of Prehistoric Man-Land Relationships In The Uplands Of The Big South Fork Of The Tennessee Cumberland Plateau, Terry Andrew Ferguson
Lithic Analysis And The Discovery Of Prehistoric Man-Land Relationships In The Uplands Of The Big South Fork Of The Tennessee Cumberland Plateau, Terry Andrew Ferguson
Doctoral Dissertations
Prehistoric man-land relationships within the uplands of the Big South Fork River valley in east-central Tennessee were studied by lithic based settlement analysis. Lithic artifact assemblages from 45 sites located within three study areas in contrasting biophysical environments were investigated. Investigations were designed to identify culturally meaningful patterning in the information content of the archaeological record and to draw inferences concerning adaptive behavior. Patterns were evaluated for the study areas, viewed holistically and synchronically, and for individual sites viewed diachronically. The analytical investigations focused on the assemblage variability present within and between the study areas and concerned variation in patterns …
The Social Reality Of A Group Of Rural, Low-Status Appalachian Women: A Grounded Theory Study, Judith Ivy Fiene
The Social Reality Of A Group Of Rural, Low-Status Appalachian Women: A Grounded Theory Study, Judith Ivy Fiene
Doctoral Dissertations
This study was designed to develop a deeper understanding of the social realities of low-status, rural Appalachian women. Its methodological base is to be found in phenomenological philosophy which points to the power of the social context in the construction of social meanings.
Existing studies of low-status Appalachian women present conflicting pictures of the women and contain little information regarding the women's point of view. Some observers have portrayed the women as members of a traditionalist subculture -- unable to adapt to the modern world -- exhibiting dysfunctional personality characteristics (Looff, 1971; Photiadis, 1970; Polansky, 1972; Weller, 1965). Other observers …
Feedback And Learning Style In Concept Teaching Computer Assisted Instruction, William Bruce Allen
Feedback And Learning Style In Concept Teaching Computer Assisted Instruction, William Bruce Allen
Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of informative feedback in CAI and to examine possible interactions between learning style and type of feedback. An additional focus of the study was a subject matter error analysis that provided the basis for two of the six types of feedback studied. These two types of feedback were hypothesized to be more effective than the four types of feedback that were developed without consideration for common errors in the subject matter.
The study involved a two factor (feedback and learning style) repeated measures design. The participants were 106 undergraduate students …

Software Choices For In‑House Databases., Carol Tenopir, Gerald W. Lundeen
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
A number of software packages are available to help create an in-house database on a microcomputer. Because these packages vary so widely and because different programs are suited to different applications, it is useful to categorize packages by general characteristics. In-house database software can be divided into 2 broad types: 1. general purpose, which includes text retrieval, file managers, and database management systems, and 2. special purpose, which covers information storage and retrieval (IS&R) packages, integrated bibliographic systems, and library automation applications. Each type of software is appropriate in different circumstances. For example, INMAGIC and Personal Librarian, both IS&R packages …

Community, Violence, And The Nature Of Change: Whitecapping In Sevier County, Tennessee, During The 1890'S, William Joseph Cummings
Community, Violence, And The Nature Of Change: Whitecapping In Sevier County, Tennessee, During The 1890'S, William Joseph Cummings
Masters Theses
During the 1890s, a series of extra-legal and illegal activities known as "whitecapping" occurred in Sevier County, Tennessee. While the early episodes were based on traditional responses to deviant behavior in rural communities, whitecapping reflected the loss of community within the county. This study examines the relationship of whitecapping and community in Sevier County and how it changed during the 1890s. The several, often contradictory, social conditions which affected the life of every Sevier Countian are also examined to show the decline of community consensus during this period. Finally, the events galavanizing public opinion against the whitecaps are analyzed to …

Precolumbian Flaked Stone Assemblages In The West Indies, Agamemnon Gus Pantel
Precolumbian Flaked Stone Assemblages In The West Indies, Agamemnon Gus Pantel
Doctoral Dissertations
The present work examines the history of the development of West Indian lithic research and proposes a new classificatory mechanism for West Indian flaked stone tool analysis based on technological process. Precolumbian flaked stone assemblages in the Caribbean have been classified in the past using continental models of hunting and gathering societies and stylistic variation in the artifacts has been used to explain cultural variation among early precolumbian periods. Samples of lithic assemblages from Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are the materials used in the present research. The effect of raw material on …

Although it is not widely known, social workers have had a substantial part in the impressive reduction in infant mortality achieved in the United States during this century. This article reviews that contribution, noting a decline in interest in infant mortality in the profession beginning in the 1950s. Recent trends are noted that seem to suggest a renewal in the profession's interest in this important subject.

Technical Bulletins: Nonpoint Sources Of Water Pollution, Sharon Rollins
MTAS Publications: Technical Bulletins
Nonpoint sources of water pollution are defined as land and air use activities that contribute to pollution of ground and/or surface water as a result of runoff, of nonpoint source pollution leachate from septic tanks seepage, or percolation. Major sources are agriculture runoff, urban runoff, and landfills, runoff from forestry and mining operations, and hydrologic modifications. Nonpoint sources of water pollution are responsible for approximately three-fourths of the water quality problems in Tennessee.
The Clean water Act of 1987 (Act) requires states to begin addressing the problem of nonpoint sources of water pollution.
