Archaeological And Historical Investigations At Rancho De Las Cabras, 41wn30, Wilson County, Texas: Fourth Season, Anne A. Fox, Brett A. Houk Jan 1998

Archaeological And Historical Investigations At Rancho De Las Cabras, 41wn30, Wilson County, Texas: Fourth Season, Anne A. Fox, Brett A. Houk

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

During the month of July, 1983, the Center for Archaeological Research conducted a fourth season of excavations at Rancho de las Cabras (41 WN30) near Floresville, Texas. Eleven excavation units were completed in the east part of the compound. Details of the construction of the south wall of Room 3 and the southeast portion of the compound wall were recorded. A trench for a palisade-type fence was located and followed out in the vicinity of the original northeast wall section. The fence was probably constructed for use in small livestock raising during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Additionally, …


An Archaeological And Geomorphological Investigation Of Northrup Park, Boerne, Kendall County, Texas, David L. Nickels Jan 1998

An Archaeological And Geomorphological Investigation Of Northrup Park, Boerne, Kendall County, Texas, David L. Nickels

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) of The University of Texas at San Antonio contracted with the city of Boerne, Texas, to conduct a pedestrian survey with limited shovel and backhoe testing of 103 acres of raw land planned for development as a city park in south Kendall County. The purpose of the survey was to identify archaeological sites visible on the surface and areas with potential for buried sites. Seven prehistoric sites were found and recorded. A plan of avoidance was recommended for all sites; however, the proposed construction plan could not be altered to accommodate both the needs …

Results Of Significance Testing At 41dw269 Dewitt County, Texas, Sterling H. Hays, James T. Abbott Jan 1998

Results Of Significance Testing At 41dw269 Dewitt County, Texas, Sterling H. Hays, James T. Abbott

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Site 41DW269 was tested by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) archeologists in July of 1997. The investigations were conducted in the right-of-way of a proposed bridge replacement project on DeWitt County Road 122 at its crossing of Clear Creek. The investigations at Site 41DW269 consisted of mechanical trenching for archeological prospection and stratigraphic evaluation of the site, and the manual excavation of two 1 x 1 m test units and two shovel tests.

Site 41DW269 is a multi-component terrace site with cultural deposits ranging in age from the Early Archaic through the Late Archaic. Two discrete alluvial fills, both containing …

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Study of the archeology of the Wilson-Leonard site has opened broad new vistas for the reexamination and improved interpretation of regional prehistory. Beyond that, it is of national importance in terms of both data and interpretation (for example, on the Paleoindian era) and the concepts used in its excavation and analysis. It is unique in other ways. In most cases, deep, stratified, multicomponent sites of this integrity are rarely excavated (in Texas, at least) more than once and the potential for long-term research is not fully met. As the reader will learn, Wilson-Leonard was first excavated on a large scale …

A Raster-Based Gis Analysis Of The Cumulative Impacts Of Humans And Beaver On Wetland Area And Types In The Chickahominy River Watershed (Virginia, Usa) From 1953 To 1994, Alexandra Dunya Syphard Jan 1998

A Raster-Based Gis Analysis Of The Cumulative Impacts Of Humans And Beaver On Wetland Area And Types In The Chickahominy River Watershed (Virginia, Usa) From 1953 To 1994, Alexandra Dunya Syphard

Theses and Dissertations

Despite increased recognition of wetland functions and values, wetland loss and degradation continues in the United States. Digital wetlands and uplands coverages were analyzed to compare the cumulative impacts of humans and beaver (Castor canadensis) on wetland types in the Chickahominy River watershed (Virginia, USA) from 1953 to 1994. A vector-based approach was used for data manipulation, and a raster-based approach was chosen to analyze geographic change over time. Study findings indicated that anthropogenic activities were responsible for both wetland loss and gain in the watershed, and beavers substantially influenced shifting between wetland types. Wetland area increased 4% over 41 …

People In The Park: Reconciling Residents, Tourism, And Conservation In Shey-Phoksundo National Park, Nepal, Juniper Garver-Hume

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

Nepal is a small, independent country located between Tibet, India, and Sikkim. Its government is a constitutional monarchy. Its constitution has gone through many changes since it was first created in 1948. The most recent changes “ended almost thirty years of absolute monarchy (Savada 1993).” This 1990 constitution “vests sovereignty in the people and declares Nepal a multiethnic, multilingual, democratic, independent, indivisible, sovereign, and constitutional monarchical kingdom (Savada 1993).” The king is still chief of state, but the government is now multiparty with separation of powers and guarantee of human rights.

The land area of Nepal is approximately equal to …
