Using Histomorphometric Traits Of Bone Microarchitecture In The Determination Of Biological Affinity, E. Augustus Goodman
Using Histomorphometric Traits Of Bone Microarchitecture In The Determination Of Biological Affinity, E. Augustus Goodman
Anthropology
This research began to establish alternate possible means for determining the biological affinity for fragmented skeletal remains between geographically disparate populations, specifically American-Caucasians and Southeast Asians. The goal is to determine the feasibility of developing a method that may be used in the field to differentiate the remains of U.S. servicemen from people of Southeast Asia. This technique is based upon differences in bone histomorphometric variables. The variables used in this research are the osteon area (On. Ar), Haversian canal area (H. Ar), and osteon population density (OPD). The conclusions reached in this research suggest that differences exist on the …
Health In Predynastic Egypt: Using Skeletal Stress Indicators To Assess The Overall Health Of A Working Class Population In Hierakonpolis, Jeanette Matovich
Health In Predynastic Egypt: Using Skeletal Stress Indicators To Assess The Overall Health Of A Working Class Population In Hierakonpolis, Jeanette Matovich
Anthropology
The present project attempts to assess the overall health of a Predynastic Egyptian working class population, based on skeletal stress indicators. This study contributes to a growing knowledge base regarding the biological anthropology of Predynastic Egyptians. Information generated from this research may help address larger questions, such as: how do Predynastic Egyptian mortality profiles compare with each other, and with other groups from around the world? Fifty-three skeletons were examined from Hierakonpolis' HK43 cemetery. Data were collected according to conventional osteological methods. Most skeletal stress indicators observed were mild. Evidence of degenerative disease in adults reflected lifetimes of hard, physical …
The Tingmiukpuk Site (Kir-273): A Prehistoric Site Along The Killik River, Alaska, Aaron C. Robertson
The Tingmiukpuk Site (Kir-273): A Prehistoric Site Along The Killik River, Alaska, Aaron C. Robertson
Anthropology
Tingmiukpuk (KIR-273), a prehistoric archaeological site, lies in a dune field on the east bank of the Killik River in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The site consists of several surface scatters of cultural material on and around three large dune prominences. Field research was conducted during the summers of 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1999. Diagnostic artifacts and dates on surface faunal material suggest the presence of two archaeological components: one belonging to the American Paleoarctic tradition, and one to the Arctic Small Tool tradition. Artifacts and faunal material suggest that the site was used for processing …
About Time: Chronological Variation As Seen In The Burial Features At Ipiutak, Point Hope, Jennifer I. Newton
About Time: Chronological Variation As Seen In The Burial Features At Ipiutak, Point Hope, Jennifer I. Newton
Anthropology
The burials at Ipiutak, Point Hope, Alaska, are best known for their spectacular grave goods and burial practices, considered by the excavators to be suggestive of a 'ghost cult', and more recently to be evidence of social complexity. Collections from the National Museum of Denmark, the American Museum of Natural History, and the University of Alaska Museum are studied and re-inventoried, and burial features on the Ipiutak peninsula are re-mapped. Examination of burial practices reveals four burial types, defined in terms of the structure and organization of associated wood. Differences between burial types and variation in artifact inventories are ascribed …

Selling The Alaska Highway: Tourism And Landscape, Laura Lynne Pitkanen
Selling The Alaska Highway: Tourism And Landscape, Laura Lynne Pitkanen
Arctic and Northern Studies
Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the North. As a dynamic industry, tourism may exert powerful, often unforeseen pressures on the cultures, economies, resources, and landscapes of host communities. As a popular tourist corridor in the North, the Alaska Highway is enshrouded in a mythology based on frontier, hardship, and wilderness images. However, an examination of the Alaska Highway reveals that the tourism landscape contradicts this mythology. Indeed the tourism landscape is in the process of becoming commercial and homogenous in nature. While distinction in landscape is noted as a primary motivation for Alaska Highway travellers, more importantly, distinction …
Discoverers & Possessors: Symbolic Acts Of Possession And Spain's Struggle For Sovereignty On The North Pacific Coast, Timo C. Allan
Discoverers & Possessors: Symbolic Acts Of Possession And Spain's Struggle For Sovereignty On The North Pacific Coast, Timo C. Allan
Arctic and Northern Studies
Until the 18th century, the North Pacific coast of North America remained one of the last territories in the world unexplored by Europeans. As terra nullius, or land unclaimed by any Christian prince, this coastline became a coveted prize as Spanish, Russian, French, and British explorers raced to establish sovereignty on behalf of their respective monarchs. The use of symbolic acts of possession in the North Pacific and the indigenous reaction to those ceremonies has never been properly examined. Often dismissed as meaningless pageantry, symbolic acts were for centuries the principl means by which European powers established claims to territories …

Distance Activism And The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Julie M. Raymond-Yakoubian
Distance Activism And The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Julie M. Raymond-Yakoubian
Political Science
The growing phenomenon of distance place attachment and distance activism can be seen in the extensive network of non-visitors involved in the protection of places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. This type of activism is not an anomaly, but rather an increasingly significant global phenomenon, which has gone largely unexamined by researchers of environmentalism, activism, wilderness, and place attachment. Distance activism encompasses the standard definition of activism, with the addition that distance activists must not have had physical contact with the natural environment for which they are being active. I argue that distance activists' actions and beliefs …
Vertebral Pathologies In Skeletons Of Alaskan Eskimos From Golovin Bay And Nunivak Island, Scott Stephen Legge
Vertebral Pathologies In Skeletons Of Alaskan Eskimos From Golovin Bay And Nunivak Island, Scott Stephen Legge
Anthropology
The primary objectives of this dissertation are to analyze vertebral pathologies by comparing two Native Alaskan skeletal collections, and assessing these results in terms of the patterning of genetically controlled versus activity related lesions. Skeletal collections housed at the Smithsonian Institution were requested for repatriation by the residents of Golovin Bay and Nunivak Island in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Prior to reburial, the remains were analyzed utilizing the Smithsonian Protocol of Skeletal Analysis (Urcid and Byrd, 1995) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Vertebral anomalies and pathologies observed in this study include spondylolysis, spina bifida occulta, Schmorl's nodes, osteoarthritis, transitional …

Rural/Non-Rural Determination For Federal Subsistence Management In Alaska; Analysis Of Economic And Community Infrastructure Variables Relatives To The Determination Of Rurality., Bradford Tuck, Victor Fischer
ISER Reports
This report presents alternative methodologies for identifying rural and non-rural areas for federal subsistence management in Alaska. The report develops two alternative methodologies for distinguishing rural and non-rural populations in Alaska for federal subsistence management. The methodologies use measures drawn from the federal decennial census and the State of Alaska’s harvest records, among other relevant data sources. An overriding goal of the project was to use a minimal number of criteria that clearly, effectively, and defensibly distinguish between rural and non-rural populations. The two methodologies are tested on a selection of Alaska communities. It is the final report for the …

The Changing Legal Environment And Icwa In Alaska: A Regional Study, Lisa Rieger, Caroline Brown
Reports
By 1974, according to the Association of American Indian Affairs, approximately 25 to 35 percent of all Indian children were separated from their families and placed in foster homes, adoptive homes, or institutions.The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was passed in 1978 in response to this overwhelming evidence that Native children were being adopted out of tribes at alarming rates. ICWA mandates that tribes and Alaska Native villages have jurisdiction over their child welfare cases, and mandates certain rules when Native children's cases are heard in state courts, including permitting the tribe to intervene in the state case at any …

Alcohol Control Policies And American Indian Communities, Matthew Berman
Alcohol Control Policies And American Indian Communities, Matthew Berman
ISER Reports
Alcohol control policies such as taxation, restricting access by youth, or outright prohibition change the supply conditions for alcohol. That is, they aim to reduce the amount that becomes available for people to consume at whatever price level. Alternatively, they may be seem to raise the cost to consumers for obtaining any given quantity (figure l). The figure shows that a control policy such as a tax on alcohol would raise the cost to consumers and therefore reduce consumption....In the final analysis, alcohol control is only one of many opportunities to empower communities. But alcohol control can contribute to community …
Mediated Identity And Negotiated Tradition: The Inupiaq Atigi, 1850--2000, Cydny Brynn Martin
Mediated Identity And Negotiated Tradition: The Inupiaq Atigi, 1850--2000, Cydny Brynn Martin
Anthropology
The Inupiaq parka and associated activities constitute an unbroken practice from the prehistoric to modern times. The overall form and use of the garment remains constant while materials and technology evolve. Inupiaq parkas, often categorized as art because of their craft, creativity, and aesthetic appeal, also serve as tangible reminders of cultural abstractions. When considered within the age-old Inupiaq subsistence system, the position of women and the role of parka sewing suggests that both are critical to the maintenance of the human/animal relationship central to Inupiaq culture. The Inupiaq parka is seen to mediate between the physical and spiritual relationship …
