Regional Data In Historic Archeology: Examples From Environmental Impact Surveys, John H. House

Research Manuscript Series

The emphasis on regional vs. single site data in prehistoric archeology is related to the assumption that culture is an adaptive behavioral system articulated with the natural and social environments. The testing of hypotheses and models about the nature of past societies in the historic period likewise requires regional data, not all of which may be available in the historical record. Archeological survey data--including those generated by Environmental Impact studies and other specific contract research--may be relevant to measuring cultural variables of historic period societies on a regional basis. Location, variability, and density of sites are some aspects of the …

A Demographic Analysis Of Skeletons From The Larson Site (39ww2), Walworth County, South Dakota, Douglas William Owsley

Masters Theses

Paleodemographic analysis of 706 skeletons recovered from the Larson site (39WW2), Walworth County, South Dakota, is presented. The site was a protohistoric Arikara village and cemetery dating to approximately A. O. 1750-1781. Major objectives of this study were to reconstruct vital statistics of the Larson population and to determine population size of the village which contributed to the cemetery.

Analysis was accomplished using a life table methodology assuming a stationary population model. Vital statistics examined include data on mortality, survivorship, age-specific probability of death, life expectancy, and crude mortality rates. Interpopulation comparisons were made with other American Indian and world …

A Method Of The Determination Of Sex From Artificially Deformed American Indian Crania, Sharon A. Bolt

Masters Theses

Birkby (1966) cautions against the use of discriminant functions based on American Whites and Negroes to determine the sex of American Indian skeletal material. Two problems become apparent in the application of these methods to American Indian crania; (1) the existence of population differences in craniometric means and ranges of variation between American Indians and American Whites and Negroes; (2) the influence of artificial cranial deformation characteristic of many series of American Indian skeletal material. This study develops a multivariate discriminant function for the determination of sex in Arikara Indian crania and demonstrates its applicability to artificially deformed crania from …

Tobacco Farming: The Persistence Of Tradition, Eugene Umberger Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The culture of tobacco has been associated with the history of Kentucky almost from the beginning and remains to this day a vital force in the state’s economy. In this age of scientific and technological advances – of increasing automation – we find that in tobacco farming, hand labor still figures prominently in the production of a major staple crop. This has resulted in the retention of traditional method, technology and terminology, long since lost in the culture of other crops which lent themselves more easily to mechanization.

The study is divided into three parts. Chapter I deals briefly with …

Chester Cornett: A Study Of The Effects Of Culture Change On A Traditional Kentucky Craftsman, Roger Beatty

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The problem considered was the nature of traditional Appalachian chairmaking in a northern metropolis. The subject was an Appalachian migrant who moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Culture change was viewed through the sociological, socioeconomic, and cultural effects of urbanization. Fieldwork focused on interrelated factors of individual personality, style and creativity, and chair production. Information on the chairmaker's background was extracted from Michael Owen Jones's, "Chairmaking in Appalachia: A Study in Style and Creative Imagination In American Folk Art" (Ph.D. dissertation, Indiana University, 1970).

Dramatic changes in the folk art tradition occurred as a result of culture change. Given economic solvency and …

A Synthesis And Interpretation Of The Hamilton Mortuary Pattern In East Tennessee, Patricia Ellen Cole

Masters Theses

The goals of this investigation are to investigate status and rank and to suggest a possible model of the social organization of the builders of Late Woodland burial mounds on the basis of intrasite burial patterning, to determine the pattern of relationships among a sample of East Tennessee burial mounds, and to provide a general characterization of the Hamilton burial complex. Despite previous investigations of this burial complex, earlier works have failed to provide satisfactory treatment of these problems.

Data on individual burials from site 40RE124 were analyzed using tests of significance, a crosstabulatinn. of variable correlations, and a factor …

Cultural Pressure On Sex Differences, Patricia Draper

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

This paper suggests that sex differences in the behavior of children exist but are not necessarily intensified under certain cultural conditions. Under conditions of culture change to a sedentary economy, certain elements of male and female differentiated behavior are exploited in the process of increasing sex differentiation.

Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter

During the past academic year the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History at the University of Maine at Orono completed several major accessioning projects. From Lynn Franklin of the Portland Press Herald, they received almost 70 taped interviews with Mainers from all walks of life. James R. Wilson of Rutgers donated his collection of Miramichi Valley (N.B.) material: field tapes, recordings of the Miramichi Folksong Festival, and dubbings from the Louise Manny Collection. And the indefatigable David Littleton-Taylor deposited still more interviews with lobster fishermen. Several smaller accessions from independent researchers such as John J. Kelly, Jr., and Norman …
