Increasing Retention Rates For South Hall Residency, Cody Johnson, Catherine Rivette
Increasing Retention Rates For South Hall Residency, Cody Johnson, Catherine Rivette
School of Human Sciences Research Showcase
Stephen F. Austin State University's Residence Life Department aims to improve resident retention in South Hall through renovation and interior design. By improving the spaces meant for student use, we hope to increase the involvement and comfort of the residents. The existing structure was not designed for today's amenities and accessibility standards. By enlarging doorways, adding an elevator, and de-compartmentalizing the community spaces, the building becomes much more accessible to people with disabilities. These open spaces also fit into the contemporary styles of living and promote interaction between the residents and other occupants.

Design For Dementia, Remy Follmar, Veronica Gilliams, Jennifer Gregory
School of Human Sciences Research Showcase
Our team was challenged to design an assisted living (AL) facility for county residents with dementia when their condition ultimately prevents their continued participation in the Nacogdoches Treatment Center's (NTC) Day Activity Program. The NTC is a non-profit facility founded in 1972. Its mission is to provide needed services that are not being met by the community. With the new facility, patients may transition seamlessly from the daily program to a permanent living space, surrounded by familiar faces and loving care.

Concept Statement Inspired by the Novel, we were drawn to the character Claudia as her mental state transformed from innocent child into a malicious hellion. As a vampire, Claudia struggled with the idea that she would never physically age. We developed a two-part outfit with this internal conflict in mind. The first of which, will represent Claudia as an innocent child, using our soft good materials from Cronan and Associates. The second part will represent her mental transformation into a dangerous and sleek predator using both soft goods from Cronan and Associates and hard goods from Daltile.
Theories On The Blue Wing Road Burial (41bx34) In The Context Of The Gutiérrez-Magee Expedition, Brandon K. Richards
Theories On The Blue Wing Road Burial (41bx34) In The Context Of The Gutiérrez-Magee Expedition, Brandon K. Richards
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
In 1968, the skeletal remains of an individual believed to have been involved in the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition of 1812-1813 were exhumed south of San Antonio. Since then, the circumstances surrounding what became known as the “Blue Wing Road burial” have remained somewhat of a mystery. This article introduces a new theory that posits that the burial is not directly related to the major battles fought in the region (the Battles of Rosalis and Medina), but more likely an incident involving a Republican detachment encountering Royalists stationed along a well-travelled route.
Military Diet On The Border: Butchery Analysis At Fort Brown (41df96) Cameron County, Texas, Crystal A. Dozier
Military Diet On The Border: Butchery Analysis At Fort Brown (41df96) Cameron County, Texas, Crystal A. Dozier
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Archaeological investigations at Fort Brown (41CF96) have provided a wealth of information about military life in south Texas. This re-analysis of the faunal material recovered by the Archaeological Research Laboratory’s survey efforts in 1988 investigates butchering patterns found at the site. While evidence for modern European American cuts are present, processing of beef os coxae and sacrum are inconsistent with current European American butchery practices. The assemblage is dominated by inexpensive cuts of meat that would have allowed for easy cooking within stews or soups. The butchery patterns seen at Fort Brown are compared to early twentieth century military standards …

Cave Winch: When A Looter's Tool Becomes An Artifact, Robert Z. Selden Jr., J Javi Vasquez
Cave Winch: When A Looter's Tool Becomes An Artifact, Robert Z. Selden Jr., J Javi Vasquez
CRHR: Archaeology
As an archaeologist, it is often difficult to empathize with looters and collectors, but we would like to ask that you put aside any pre-conceived notions of judgment as we consider the question: when does a looter’s tool become an artifact? For the two of us, this particular dialogue began in the summer of 2013 on an excavation at Sierra Diablo Cave in western Texas. In that cave was a winch that we assume was constructed on or near the site as a tool for excavating deposits near the rear of the cave.
