Changing Maine, 1960-2010: Teaching Guide, Richard Barringer, New England Environmental Finance Center

Maine History & Policy Development

Unlike forty years ago, none of us is now certain what the future holds for Maine – except that it will be different. Maine has been transformed by the events of the recent decades. We have come into a new world, a new time – a new historical era, if you will. This new era, like previous eras in Maine history, will require of us new ways of thinking, new ways of understanding, new ways of organizing ourselves as a community of people, if the values and culture we share and cherish are to endure and flourish.

In response to this new nationalistic party, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (S P D) organized …

Revealing Santa Clara University's Prehistoric Past: Ca-Sci-755, Evidence From The Arts & Sciences Building Project, Richard Carlson, Joe Hendrickson, Jessica Noller, Vanessa Rodriguez, Cindy Arrington, Kevin Bender, Lisa Brown, Sandra Kelly, Jong Lee, Katherine Mcbride, Jennifer Peritz, Peter Preciado, Ryan Vandenbroeck, Margaret A. Graham, Mark G. Hylkema, Karen Oeh, Lorna C. Pierce, Russell K. Skowronek, Victoria Wu

Research Manuscript Series

This monograph, bearing the unpretentious subtitle "Evidence from the Arts and Sciences Building" stands as an elegant contradiction to all of those easy excuses. Russell Skowronek and his co-investigators have produced a report that stands not only as a template for what can be done with a modest data-set of ten prehistoric burials, but as a template for cooperation with the Ohlone descendants of those who, well over a millennium ago, carefully prepared their loved ones for eternity.

Working from ancient maps and city directories, Carlson and associates have produced a fine summary of virtually everyone who ever occupied what …

Production And Exchange Of Obsidian From The Colca Valley, Arequipa Perú, Nicholas Tripcevich

Nicholas Tripcevich, Ph.D.

In Andean archaeology, it is stylistic evidence that form the basis for many investigations of long-distance relationships

and evidence of regional interaction. From hunter-gatherer projectile point type distributions to evidence of expansive

states like Wari and Tiwanaku, the basis of much of the inference regarding prehistory in the Andes is stylistic

relationships in workmanship, architecture, or iconography. In the past fifty years chemical characterization studies have

permitted a second basic form of regional evidence to emerge: provenancing studies.

Provenancing studies complement stylistic evidence because chemical provenance provides unqualified evidence of

contact between two regions. With provenancing studies: We know that …
