For much of the last half century, archaeologists viewed the South American rain forest as a "counterfeit paradise," a region whose inhospitable environment precluded the development of complex societies. But new research suggests that prehistoric man found ways to overcome the jungle's natural limitations -- and to thrive in this environment in large numbers.
Mobile Gis And Archaeological Survey, Nicholas Tripcevich
Mobile Gis And Archaeological Survey, Nicholas Tripcevich
Nicholas Tripcevich, Ph.D.
This paper will describe archaeological research recently conducted in southern Peru where archaeological features were recorded entirely within a mobile Geographical Information System (or GIS). I will present an overview of the technology, and then briefly demonstrate our implementation of the system that was used while camping at high altitude at an obsidian source, and then I’ll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of mobile GIS. Ultimately we must ask if it will contribute to better archaeology, or does mobile GIS merely add finer spatial resolution and more delicate technology to existing field methods?

Interfaces: Mobile Gis In Archaeological Survey, Nicholas Tripcevich
Nicholas Tripcevich, Ph.D.
Research needs dictate whether mobile GIS data recording be expedient or thorough, and data acquisition can allow for flexibility with varied or unpredictable field conditions. By giving researchers access to large digital datasets and spatial analysis tools while in the field, mobile GIS facilitates the data acquisition process and can contribute to the quality and the efficiency of fieldwork. In this study, the implementation of ESRI Arcpad 6 in a high-altitude archaeological survey project in Peru presented challenges to the mobile GIS system that are common to many mobile GIS-based scientific fieldwork projects. The paper discusses the benefits and the …

In The Name Of The Nation: Reflections On Nationalism And Patriotism, Rogers Brubaker
In The Name Of The Nation: Reflections On Nationalism And Patriotism, Rogers Brubaker
Rogers Brubaker
Treating nationhood as a political claim rather than an ethnocultural fact, this paper asks how “nation” works as a category of practice, a political idiom, a claim. What does it mean to speak “in the name of the nation”? And how should one assess the practice of doing so? Taking issue with the widely held view that “nation” is an anachronistic and indefensible or at least deeply suspect category, the paper sketches a qualified defence of inclusive forms of nationalism and patriotism in the contemporary American context, arguing that they can help develop more robust forms of citizenship, provide support …

Emerging Hispanic English: New Dialect Formation In The American South, Walt Wolfram, Phillip M. Carter, Rebecca Moriello
Phillip M. Carter
Although stable Hispanic populations have existed in some regions of the United States for centuries, other regions, including the mid-Atlantic South, are just experiencing the emergence of permanent Hispanic communities. This situation o¡ers an ideal opportunity to examine the dynamics of new dialect formation in progress, and the extent to which speakers acquire local dialect traits as they learn English as a second language.We focus on the pro- duction of the /ai/ diphthong among adolescents in two emerging Hispanic communities, one in an urban and one in a rural context. Though both English and Spanish have the diphthong /ai/, the …

College Students' Perceptions, Myths, And Stereotypes About African American Athleticism: A Qualitative Investigation, Keith Harrison
College Students' Perceptions, Myths, And Stereotypes About African American Athleticism: A Qualitative Investigation, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
Examining the ‘natural’ athlete myth and utilizing the recent literature on cultural/social factors in athleticism, this study through survey research examines the myth of the ‘natural’ African American athlete. Participants consist of 301 university students from a large, traditionally White, midwest institution. The primary research question is to determine the attitudes of college students in terms of how they perceive the success of the African American athlete in certain sports. The purpose is to assess participants’ perceptions of the African American athlete and their opinion as to whether or not African American athletes are superior in certain sports (football, basketball, …

Ethnicity As Cognition, Rogers Brubaker, Mara Loveman, Peter Stamatov
Rogers Brubaker
This article identi¢es an incipient and largely implicit cognitive turn in the study of ethnicity, and argues that it can be consolidated and extended by drawing on cognitive research in social psychology and anthropology. Cognitive perspectives provide resources for conceptualizing ethnicity, race, and nation as perspectives on the world rather than entities in the world, for treating ethnicity, race, and nationalism together rather than as separate subfields, and for re-specifying the old debate between primordialist and circumstantialist approaches.

The Paq'tnkek Mi'kmaq And Ka't (American Eel): A Case Study Of Cultural Relations, Meanings And Prospects, Anthony A. Davis Dr,, John Wagner Dr., Kerry Prosper, Mary Jane Paulette
Anthony A. Davis Dr,
In September 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R. v Marshall, affirmed that Atlantic Canada’s Mi’kmaq First Nation possessed a treaty-based right to derive a modest livelihood from commercial fisheries. This ruling has altered the fisheries’ political, social and economic landscape permanently. In so doing, it has positioned the Mi’kmaq and other Canadian First Nations to assume a leadership role in reshaping natural resource management policies and priorities. In this essay we first review the ways and means that R. v Marshall has been implemented, with a view to clarifying the current position of the Mi’kmaq within Atlantic Canadian …

This paper explores the item-based nature of child language acquisition by examining data from the CHILDES database (MacWhinney 2000). Two studies are explicated: the first uses pooled data from several children, and the second follows a single child longitudinally. The results show that the learning of the complex construction consisting of a main clause followed by an infinitival compliment, e.g. I want to play, center around a single verb, want, even though other candidate verbs exist in the children’s vocabulary. We provide empirical evidence to show that children initially learn grammar via item-based units and gradually break down complex constructions …
