The Pecalba Tradition In Macedonia, A Case Study, Joel Halpern Jan 1975

The Pecalba Tradition In Macedonia, A Case Study, Joel Halpern

Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series

The following narrative has been excerpted from an account by a pravoslavni (Eastern Orthodox Christian) peasant from a village in the hills above Struga, near Lake Ohrid. It is especially interesting for historical perspective on the social ties and obligations between Orthodox and Moslem villagers, often members of the same village community, particularly with regard to the carrying out of pecalba, the migrant labor pattern characteristic of this region.

Antiques - Objects Of Lateral Cycling?, Cheryl Claassen

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

After a brief discussion of the various ways the use-life of an object can be prolonged, an additional method is illustrated, that of adjacent cycling, Antiques are used as examples. The role of antiques as status symbols is suggested to be the reason for their prolonged use-life. The archaeological implications of adjacent cycling also are discussed.

Observation On Female Cooperation Among The Zapotecs, An Indigenous People Of Southern Mexico, J. M. Brueske Jan 1975

Observation On Female Cooperation Among The Zapotecs, An Indigenous People Of Southern Mexico, J. M. Brueske

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Cross-cultural study has suggested that the presence of an extradomestic market for women's produce is one precondition for the development of female solidarity groups, and that such groups seem to be antecedent to female public power and/or authority. If status is defined in these terms, then the Zapotec women of Asuncion, a village of the inland Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico, have not attained the preconditions of public power and/or authority. The complementary nature of husband and wife in the economic sphere assures women of some domestic power, however, and women do not seem to perceive their status as …

Anthropology And The Academy Of Science: The Need For A New Role, Timothy C. Klinger Jan 1975

Anthropology And The Academy Of Science: The Need For A New Role, Timothy C. Klinger

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Few anthropology papers were presented at the Annual Meetings of the Arkansas Academy of Science before 1968. Establishment of the Arkansas Archeological Survey in 1967 brought an influx of professional anthropologists to the state and a subsequent increase in the number of anthropology papers published. However, the growth in number of active anthropologists has created a need for more information channels within the state. The time is right for the Anthropology Section of the Academy to become a formal base for interaction and information dissemination among anthropologists.

Folklore: A Study And Tales From The Ozarks, Sharon Hibbard Jan 1975

Folklore: A Study And Tales From The Ozarks, Sharon Hibbard

Honors Theses

From its inception, folktale research has had a two-pronged aim: it has been interested, on the one hand, in the nature and origins of oral narration not fixed in writing; and it has been interested in folk culture as expressed in the content and form of the folktale. These two points of view have resulted in two different kinds of research methods. One has sprung essentially from comparative literature and has been established as a new branch of that discipline; the other has developed from the French sociological and the British anthropological schools, which consider of folk tradition--to which the …

The Settlement And Development Of Wayne County, Utah, To 1900, Aldus Devon Chappell Jan 1975

The Settlement And Development Of Wayne County, Utah, To 1900, Aldus Devon Chappell

Theses and Dissertations

Although John C. Fremont had traveled through Wayne County, Utah, in the winter of 1853-54, it was not until 1874 that the first herd of cattle was introduced to Rabbit Valley. Reports soon circulated that here was a new land, conducive to the raising of livestock, and in 1876 about a dozen families entered the valley and began settlement. Families that moved into this area came from various places. Each settler came to make a new life, and came independently of the others. In 1895 the population was nearly 2,000, and by 1970 it had dropped to 1,486.

The Primitive Hunter Culture, Pleistocene Extinction, And The Rise Of Agriculture, Vernon L. Smith Jan 1975

The Primitive Hunter Culture, Pleistocene Extinction, And The Rise Of Agriculture, Vernon L. Smith

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

The hypothesis that megafauna extinction some 10,000 years ago was due to "overkill" by Paleolithic hunters is examined using an economic model of a replenishable resource. The large herding animals that became extinct, such as mammoth, bison, camel, and mastodon, presented low hunting cost and high kill value. The absence of appropriation provided incentives for the wastage killing evident in some kill sites, while the slow growth, long lives, and long maturation of large animals increased their vulnerability to extinction. Free-access hunting is compared with socially optimal hunting and used to interpret the development of conservationist ethics, and controls, in …
