Archaeological Investigations Of Areas Slated For Expansion At Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, San Antonio, Texas, Eric C. Gibson, Courtenay J. Jones, Dennis A. Knepper

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

During April 1982, archaeologists from the Center for Archaeological Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted a cultural resource survey and evaluation of 31.68 acres slated as an expansion area for the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas. This was accomplished through two research methods: (1) a literature and archival search supplemented by interviews of knowledgeable persons; followed by (2) a planned subsurface archaeological testing program. One badly disturbed prehistoric site (41 BX 346) of unknown function and unknown chronological association was discovered as a result of these activities. Because the site is so …

Excavations At 41lk67 A Prehistoric Site In The Choke Canyon Reservior, South Texas, Kenneth M. Brown, Daniel R. Potter, Grant D. Hall, Stephen L. Black

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

In 1977-1978 excavations were conducted at 41 LK 67 in Live Oak County, south Texas, by the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio. The investigation of this prehistoric archaeological site was part of an extensive program of reconnaissance and excavation necessitated by the construction of the Choke Canyon Reservoir on the Frio River by the Bureau of Reclamation.

The site is situated in shallow colluvial deposits capping an old terrace remnant of the Frio River. The excavations involved 193 m2 in three separate areas and revealed Late Prehistoric and Late Archaic components. Recognizably older artifacts …

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

Construction of the Choke Canyon Reservoir by the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) had necessitated an excavation program at the site prior to destruction.

Eagle Hill: A Late Quaternary Upland Site In Western Lousiana, Joel Gunn, David O. Brown Jan 1982

Eagle Hill: A Late Quaternary Upland Site In Western Lousiana, Joel Gunn, David O. Brown

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

The Eagle Hill II site (16SA50) is located in a rolling upland area of western Louisiana known as Peason Ridge. Because of its location in a saddle, the locale accumulated colluvial sediments during certain intervals of the late Quaternary; in addition, it served as a habitation area for prehistoric groups. Sediments were preserved from the early and late Holocene, apparently reflecting the relatively cooler and moister conditions of those periods that were conducive to erosion-preventing vegetation. The site was excavated in a manner to provide both vertical and horizontal information on site occupation at relatively high resolution. A sampling design …

Marcus Garvey And The Philosophy Of Black Pride, Sophia Teresa Skyers Jan 1982

Marcus Garvey And The Philosophy Of Black Pride, Sophia Teresa Skyers

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The anomalous position of black people in the United States, following the first World War, set the stage for the arrival of marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Originally formed in Jamaica in 1914, Garvey transported the UNIA to the United States as the war was drawing to a close, and quickly rose to popularity as black people responded positively to Garvey and his movement.

Centered around the philosophy of black pride, Garvey’s movement set out to give black people a sense of worthiness in their race and colour. He gave expression to the frustrations of black people …

Anna Held: A Biography, Michael Owen Hoffman

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis, a biography of the French actress, Anna Held (1873-1918), is an attempt to place her in proper perspective in American history. Essentially a record of Miss Held from birth to death, it highlights many events that made her famous. Included are examples of publicity generated by her manager-husband, Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.

Much credit can be awarded Ziegfeld for his expertise in publicity stunts and promotion. Undue praise, however, has been attributed to him for the origin of the Ziegfeld Follies and the success of Anna Held.

Anna was a Continental success long before she met him. His promotion …
