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

Comments On Caddo Settlement Pattern And Culture Identity, Fank Winchell
Comments On Caddo Settlement Pattern And Culture Identity, Fank Winchell
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
This discussion will be based primarily upon Schambach's work and observations on Caddo habitation settlements in the Great Bend area of Southwestern Arkansas. Schambach believes that the basic Caddo settlement pattern is that of a dispersed hamlet configuration clustered around a specific civic-ceremonial center. This settlement configuration is based upon archaeological work in the Great Bend area which conforms to a stylized but highly accurate map drawn from an inhabited historic Caddo village compound presumably near the Hatchel Mound site (41BW3) on the west bank of the Red River in Texas.

Recent Archeological Investigations At The Jewett Mine, East-Central Texas, Ross C. Fields
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
The Jewett Mine is a ca. 21, 000-acre lignite mine in the post oak savannah of Freestone, Leon, and Limestone counties, Texas. The project area straddles the divide between the Navasota River valley on the west and the Trinity River valley on the east and lies at the western margin of the Caddoan area . Although residential use of the area by the Caddo has not been documented, many sites have yielded small quantities of Caddoan pottery, and it is likely that cultures indigenous to the region were affected by the development of Caddoan culture not far to the east. …
