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 …

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 …

A Multivariate Study Of Three Prehistoric Tennessee Skeletal Populations: Mouse Creek, Dallas, And Middle Cumberland, Hugh E. Berryman

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to employ the techniques of physical anthropology in the examination of an archaeological hypothesis set forth by Thomas M. N. Lewis and Madeline Kneberg in the 1940's. This hypothesis concerned the possible Middle Tennessee origin of the Mouse Creek people. Mouse Creek cultural remains (e.g. settlement pattern, architecture, burial customs, and pottery) were judged to differ from their nearest contemporary neighbors, the Dallas, while showing certain similarities to the Middle Cumberland culture of Middle Tennessee.

A multivariate statistical analysis using 22 craniofacial measurements was applied to skeletal material representing these three populations: the Mouse …

A Therapeutic Approach To Education: An Ethnographic Analysis Of Friendsville Academy, A Quaker Middle And Secondary School, L. Janice Campbell

Masters Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the therapeutic approach to education which was instituted at Friendsville Academy in Friendsville, Tennessee, between the years 1970 and 1973. This particular approach was oriented toward helping children of middle and secondary school age to resolve their emotional conflicts which often put them at odds with their families, their communities, their teachers, and, in some cases, the law. Their problems ranged from drug addiction and sexual promiscuity to disruptive behavior.

Friendsville Academy is a Quaker school, historically supported and directed by the local Quaker Church. During the administration between 1970 and 1973, …
