Phd Thesis: The Archaeology Of Reform At A German Prisoner Of War Camp In A Canadian National Park During The Second World War (1943–1945), Adrian T. Myers

Adrian Myers

During the height of the Second World War pressure from Great Britain resulted in the transfer of thousands of German prisoners of war (PoWs) from British to Canadian control. To house them, Canada built a system of PoW camps, including Riding Mountain Camp in southwestern Manitoba. The PoWs sent there soon realized their good fortune: they lived in warm barracks, ate abundant food, and were able to purchase goods from a mail order catalog. But while the PoWs were well treated, they were at the same time subjected to a concerted reeducation campaign organized by the Allies. This reveals that …

The  Presidio Reál  de San Carlos de Monterey  was the commanding  military institution  of  the  Californias from  circa  1770  through  1840.  Significant Spanish  colonial era architectural, material cultural, and faunal remains were  recovered  during  the  course  of  archaeological  field  investigations undertaken between 2006 and 2008 by Dr. Ruben Mendoza and the field crews  of  the  California State University,  Monterey  Bay.

Archaeological Approaches To Obsidian Quarries: Investigations At The Quispisisa Source, Nicholas Tripcevich, Daniel A. Contreras Dec 2012

Archaeological Approaches To Obsidian Quarries: Investigations At The Quispisisa Source, Nicholas Tripcevich, Daniel A. Contreras

Daniel A. Contreras

We consider how and why archaeologists have studied the vestiges of mining and quarrying, and to consider a specific Andean context: the extraction of Quispisisa-type obsidian from the Jichja Parco obsidian quarries over a period of 10,000 years of Central Andean prehistory. Preliminary research at the source ( Contreras et al. in press; Tripcevich and Contreras 2011 ) has documented large-scale extraction of obsidian, while regional consumption patterns (Burger and Glascock 2002 ) demonstrate that the material was used and widely distributed not long after humans arrived in the Central Andes. We use the example of ongoing research at the …
