Evidences Of Culture Contacts Between Polynesia And The Americas In Precolumbian Times, John L. Sorenson Sr.

Theses and Dissertations

Of the great unsettled problems of archaeology and anthropology perhaps the most hotly debated has been the relative importance of migration, diffusion, and independent invention in the origin of culture elements. The question has obvious importance, both for a proper understanding of man and culture, that ambitiously comprehensive goal of modern anthropology, and for historical reconstruction, the latter a necessary preliminary of the former.

The concern of this thesis is with culture movement in the eastern Pacific Ocean area. The Pacific area as a whole has long been the geographical center of the diffusion problem (if we may so term …

Contacts Of Negroes And Whites In Morgantown, Ellis Ray Williams

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This thesis is an analysis of Negro-white contacts within the city limits of Morgantown, West Virginia.

The specific hypothesis is that contacts which Negroes have with whites vary in frequency and intensity according to the institutional or neighborhood settings in which they occur, and with the age and sex of the individuals involved.

Indigenous Philosophy In The Valley Of Mexico, John F. Newcomer

Philosophy ETDs

This study has been undertaken in the hope of helping to open new avenues of research in both philosophy and anthropology, avenues that have heretofore been largely overlooked. It has used as an example the pre-Conquest culture-complex of the Valley of Mexico. It is not intended to be an exhaustive exposition of every aspect of that complex, for that would take it out of the realm of philosophy and too far into that of anthropology. It is rather an examination of the salient features of Aztec culture in a philosophical light. It begins with a discussion of primitive philosophy in …

The Kachina Cult Of The Pueblo Indians, Frank Gibbs Anderson

Anthropology ETDs

In a recently published textbook in general anthropology, the following statement is made: "Religion by its very nature is a conservative institution and changes slowly to meet new demands." This idea that a society, particularly a primitive society, is in general more conservative with regard to the religious aspects of its culture than in any other respect, is of course not a new one. It has received expression by many anthropologists and sociologists, and others, over a period of many years, and its mere reiteration leads us to suspect that it has some validity. As Jacobs and Stern point out, …
