The Uses Of Maya Structures: A Study Of Architecture And Artifact Distribution At Sepulturas, Copan, Honduras, Julia A. Hendon

Anthropology Faculty Publications

This dissertation presents a compositional analysis of the architecture and a distributional analysis of the associated artifacts resulting from excavation of some ninety buildings dating from the Late to Terminal Classic Period at the Maya site of Copan, Honduras. The study of all artifacts recovered from primary contexts, both in situ and redeposited, focuses first on a determination of their function, second on an analysis of their distribution within the site, and third on their associations with one another in order to identify the kinds of activities carried out at various locations. A second line of evidence used is the …

Greggwood Party Campsite, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

On November 5, 1849 a group of seven men led by Dr. Josiah Gregg, a physician, author, and explorer sent by the federal government to find the lost harbor of Trinidad, left the mining camp at Rich Bar on the Trinity River. The Indians told them that eight days' travel would bring them to a "large and beautiful bay surrounded by fine and extensive prairie land (Humboldt Bay).

Ash Hollow Cave: A Study Of Stratigraphic Sequence In The Central Great Plains, John L. Champe

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

The Great Plains has been an important laboratory for anthropological research since the latter part of the nineteenth century. Much of the early work was ethnological in character, a consequence, perhaps, of the late preservation of tribal life in the area. These early studies, however, cover a wide range and include subjects as diverse as tribal ethnographies, special studies in ethnobotany, and distributional analyses of Sun Dance traits. Although many of the earlier studies stressed historical sequences, a definite swing away from this position soon developed. By the middle of the nineteen-twenties, in fact, investigators became so preoccupied with distributional …
