Structure And Dynamics Of Household Hazardous Wastes, Douglas C. Wilson, William L. Rathje

Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Municipal Solid wastes--the majority of which are household refuse--have, increasingly been implicated as a source of hazardous materials in landfill leachate discharges (U.S. EPA 1988). Data collected on the components of these wastes are critical for solid wastes systems planning--especially landfill design, hazardous materials collection systems, and resource recovery. A number of recent studies by the University of Arizona's Garbage Project have identified household products as a possible source of hazardous materials in landfills (Wilson 1985, Rathje et al. 1987a, 1987b). Studies have addressed (1) the definition of these "household hazardous wastes" (HHW), (2) the characteristics of HHW from hands-on …

A Classification And Discussion Of Victorian Coffin Handles From St. Thomas Church Cemetery, Jennifer Soutter

Leddy Library Reports

The symbols found on Victorian coffin handles reflect Victorian attitudes, feelings, and beliefs, towards and about death. Coffin handles depicting these death symbols were excavated from St. Thomas Church Cemetery in Belleville in the summer of 1989. The purpose of this paper is to provide a classification scheme for the handles and a discussion of the symbols found on them.

88-Phase I Archaeological Survey (With Deep Testing) Of A 1.5 Ha (3.8 Acre) Parcel Along The Grand River On Fenske Enterprises Property At 2637 Wilson Sw, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49504, William M. Cremin, Gregory R. Walz

Reports of Investigations

At the request of Mr. William Slaght, archaeologists from Western Michigan University continued archaeological investigations on the property of Fenske Enterprises, 2637 Wilson SW, Grand Rapids, Michigan during the fall of 1989. As a fallow-up to our Phase I archaeo~ogical survey of the proposed site of a Class 3 landfill cell in May (Cremin 1989; ER-89111), we were asked to undertake a program of survey to include, at the request of Dr. John Halsey, State Archaeologist, selected deep testing of a 3.8 acre parcel on the Grand River where Fenske Enterprises proposed to create an area of wetlands to in …

87-Phase I Archaeological Survey Of The Class 3 Landfill Site On Fenske Enterprises Property At 2637 Wilson Sw, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49504, William M. Cremin

Reports of Investigations

Upon receipt of authorization from Mr. William Slaght on 26 May 89 for s Phase I archaeological survey of the proposed Class 3 landfill site on the property of Fenske Enterprises at 2637 Wilson SW, Grand Rapids, Michigan, the author and his associates began s literature and site file search and on the above date conducted on-site evaluation or the project area in order to determine whether construction of the landfill would adversely impact archaeological resources. There follows s report of our program of research, together with recommendations derived from our examination of the study ares.

89-Phase I Archaeological Assessment Of The Sima Property On The Lower Galien River In New Buffalo, Michigan, William M. Cremin, Gregory R. Walz

Reports of Investigations

Upon receipt of authorization from Mr. Randy A. Johnson of Bureau and Associates dated 9 Nov 89, for a Phase I archaeological survey of portions of the Sima Tract in Sections 2 and 3 of New Buffalo Township, TBS R21W, Berrien County, Michigan, researchers in the Department of Anthropology, Western Michigan University initiated a site file search and on 14-15 Nov conducted on-site evaluation in order to determine whether proposed development activities would adversely impact potentially significant archaeological resources. There follows a report of our research program, together with recommendations derived from our examination of the study area.

From The Gulf To The Rio Grande: Human Adaptation In Central, South, And Lower Pecos Texas, Thomas Hester, Stephen L. Black, D. Gentry Steele, Ben W. Olive, Anne A. Fox, Karl Reinhard, Leland C. Bement

Karl Reinhard Publications

The South Texas area, Region 3 of the Southwestern Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is synthesized from archeological and bioarcheological perspectives. Three distinct geographic units within Region 3 are treated in detail: Central Texas Plateau Prairie, South Texas Plains, and Lower Pecos Canyonlands. More than 11,000 years of human adaptation are chronicled for this area, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Rio Grande along the border with northeastern Mexico. Particular attention is devoted to a consideration of the region's prehistoric record; significant problems and data gaps are outlined. For the first time, a compilation has been done …

A Mimbres Burial With Associated Colon Remains From The Nan Ranch Ruin, New Mexico, Harry J. Shafer, Marrianne Marek, Karl J. Reinhard

Karl Reinhard Publications

The skeletal remains of an adult male associated with desiccated tissue and a coprolite were recovered from an apen-air midden deposit at the NAN Ranch Ruin (LA15049)) a large Mimbres site in Grant County) New Mexico. The find dates to about A.C. 1000-1100. Identifiable macroscopic elements in the caprolite consist offi nely fragmented corn and tiny seed fragments of an unknown plant. High amounts of willow (Salix) and mustard (Brassicaceae) pollen may indicate the ingestion of medicinal plants to combat a deteriorating health condition. The individual was approximately 35 -40 years old at the time of death and suffered from …

Bioarcheological Synthesis For "From The Gulf To The Rio Grande: Human Adaptation In Central, South, And Lower Pecos Texas", Karl Reinhard, Ben W. Olive, D. Gentry Steele

Karl Reinhard Publications

One of the main problems encountered in the review of the bioarcheology of Region 3 has been the limited number of sites where human skeletal material has been adequately recovered and analyzed. In the preceding chapter it was documented that less than 30% of the burials recovered from recorded sites have been reported in published literature. It was further estimated that of the 323 sites with burials, no more than 80 sites have published detailed bioarcheological reports on the burials recovered. Only 50 of these 80 reports provide individual descriptions of each burial which facilitate subsequent analyses and evaluation.
