The Cultural Context Of Aging: World-Wide Perspectives. (3rd Ed.)., Jay Sokolovsky Jan 2009

The Cultural Context Of Aging: World-Wide Perspectives. (3rd Ed.)., Jay Sokolovsky

Faculty Books

The consequences of global aging will influence virtually all areas of life to be encountered in the 21st century, including the biological limits of healthy longevity, the generational contract and nature of family ties, the makeup of households and communities, symbolic representations of midlife and old age and attitudes toward disability and death. The new edition (3rd) of the award winning book The Cultural Context of Aging: World-Wide Perspectives covers all these topics and more. This unique volume uses a qualitative, case study approach to look at the rapidly emerging new cultural spaces and social scripts through which mid and …

Economic Diversification And Sustainable Development: The Role Non-Timber Forest Products Play In The Monetization Of Kayapó Livelihoods , Laura C. Zanotti Jan 2009

Economic Diversification And Sustainable Development: The Role Non-Timber Forest Products Play In The Monetization Of Kayapó Livelihoods , Laura C. Zanotti

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

This paper analyzes the level of market integration of a relatively isolated Kayapó community. The goal is to understand how the commercial networks devoted to non-timber forest products are affecting one community by including cash-income into the economic life of communities previously dominated by non-monetary transactions but currently dominated by a mix of monetary and non-monetary practices. Non-timber forest product projects are a much lauded and much criticized form of sustainable forestry management. This case study analyses different non-timber forest product projects in Aukre, a village that is part of the Kayapó Indigenous Territories, Brazil. Th is article identifi es …


Reviving A Traditional Pasture Management System In Fentale, East Central Ethiopia, Shimelis Beyene, Dafa Gudina Jan 2009

Reviving A Traditional Pasture Management System In Fentale, East Central Ethiopia, Shimelis Beyene, Dafa Gudina

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

In this paper, we describe the process of establishing dry season grass reserves, traditionally known as kalo, among Kereyu and Ittu pastoralists of Fentale in the Awash Valley of eastern central Ethiopia. The data were primarily collected using qualitative research methods such as key informant interviews, group discussions, field observations, and records of community meetings and non-governmental organization (NGO) project reports. In the last decade and a half, several attempts were made by NGOs and local governments to encourage pastoralists to revive their traditional practices of setting aside grass reserves for seasonal grazing, but only a few such private enclosures …


Teetering Towards Economic Sustainability: Alternatives For Commercial Fishermen, Barbara Jones Jan 2009

Teetering Towards Economic Sustainability: Alternatives For Commercial Fishermen, Barbara Jones

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Sustainable fishing has become a challenging problem for commercial fishermen all over the world. Many efforts to pursue a livelihood based on commercially harvesting fish suffer from catch limits and closings intended to protect diminishing fish resources; rising prices for waterfront real estate that currently houses their home ports; and competition from recreational fishermen. In order to continue a commercial fishing way of life, fishermen are resorting to what they are told represent economic sustainable alternatives to fishing, including aquaculture, retail markets, educational/museum facilities, restaurants, and parks. Yet, can a fisherman remain a fisherman if he is seen as an …

Subsistence And Seasonality At A Late Prehistoric House Pit In Northwest Alaska, Scott Shirar Jan 2009

Subsistence And Seasonality At A Late Prehistoric House Pit In Northwest Alaska, Scott Shirar

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

In this report, I examine a house from a Late Prehistoric village site near the confluence of Maiyumerak Creek and the Noatak River in the Noatak National Preserve, Alaska. In 2006, several thousand artifacts and over 100,000 faunal remains were excavated from this approximately 500-year-old house. Faunal remains and subsistencerelated artifacts associated with the living fl oor of the house were analyzed to assess diet and seasonal occupation. I also address how this house fits into previously proposed Late Prehistoric land- and resource-use models. The dietary reconstruction shows that both classes of data (artifacts and fauna) indicate a primary reliance …

Inheritance, Land Sales And The Future Of Maine's Forests, James M. Acheson, Tom Doak Jan 2009

Inheritance, Land Sales And The Future Of Maine's Forests, James M. Acheson, Tom Doak

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Large areas of the world’s forests are being converted to non-forest use. Th is article examines factors influencing decisions of small forest landowners in Maine to convert or sell their land. Our analysis is based on a large-scale survey of a random sample drawn from the membership lists of organizations of forest landowners in 2005. Maine landowners are caught between countervailing pressures. Although many of them love their land and want to pass it to their heirs, there are many economic, legal and social pressures motivating forest landowners to sell or convert their property. Analysis of the data on the …

Evaluating Highly Resolved Paleoclimate Records In The Frequency Domain For Multidecadal-Scale Climate Variability, Kristine L. Delong, Terrence M. Quinn, Gary T. Mitchum, Richard Z. Poore Jan 2009

Evaluating Highly Resolved Paleoclimate Records In The Frequency Domain For Multidecadal-Scale Climate Variability, Kristine L. Delong, Terrence M. Quinn, Gary T. Mitchum, Richard Z. Poore

Marine Science Faculty Publications

[1] Do the chronological methods used in the construction of paleoclimate records influence the results of the frequency analysis applied to them? We explore this phenomenon using the Dongge Cave speleothem record (U-series chronology with variable time steps, Δt) and the El Malpais tree-ring index (cross-dating of ring-width series). Interpolation of the Dongge Cave record to a constant Δt resulted in the suppression of periodicities (<20 years) altering the red noise model used for significance testing. Frequency analysis of temporal subsets of the El Malpais tree-ring index revealed that concentrations of variance varied with the number of ring-width series. Frequency analyses of these records identified significant periodicities, some common to both (∼25 and ∼69 years). Cross-wavelet analysis, which examines periodicities in the time domain, revealed that coherency between these records occurs intermittently. We found the chronology methods can influence the ability of frequency analysis to detect periodicities and tests for coherency.


The Ancient Maya Drought Cult: Late Classic Cave Use In Belize, Jaime J. Awe, George A. Brook, Holley Moyes Jan 2009

The Ancient Maya Drought Cult: Late Classic Cave Use In Belize, Jaime J. Awe, George A. Brook, Holley Moyes

KIP Monographs

Caves were used as ritual venues by the ancient Maya from the Early Preclassic to the Postclassic period. These sites have been intensively investigated, but little research has been devoted to changes in cave use over time. Work at Chechem Ha Cave in western Belize investigates transformations in ritual practice occurring between the Early and Late Classic peri- ods using an explanatory framework that incorporates high-definition archaeological research with a paleoclimate recon- struction derived from speleothems. This is one of the first projects to directly link these data to the archaeological record. We also introduce new methodology to evaluate changes …
