The German Paradox (A Problem In National Character), Robert F. Spencer

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT - There has been considerable argument since World War II over whether the concept of a national character, such as might distinguish the Germans, the Japanese, the Russians, or any other contemporary national group, has any reality in fact. The present paper, operating on the assumption that there is a distinctive German character, one essentially different from that of the English, the Italians, the French, or the Russians, seeks to show, in terms of the processes of culture defined by anthropology, where German uniqueness lies. This, it is contended, rests not so much in factors of native psychology and …

The Influence Of The Southern Nevada And Southern Utah Folklore Upon The Writings Of Dr. Juanita Brooks And Dr. Leroy R. Hafen, Pansy L. Hardy

Theses and Dissertations

Since no writing is entirely objective, it is the contention of this thesis that Dr. Juanita Brooks and Dr. LeRoy R. Hafen, the most authoritative writers of the Southern Nevada and Southern Utah region, were greatly influenced in their writings by the folklore of the region and of the people. The two aspects of folklore which are most prominent in their writings are, first, those which treat the supernatural aspect of divine intervention, and, second, those which surround the struggle for survival.

Folklore stories of divine intervention include the lore of divine aid given in time of great need, divine …

Late Pleistocene Upper Paleolithic Relationships Between The New World And Eastern Siberia, William D. Womsley

Anthropology ETDs

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, to present a general description of Asian and North American Pleistocene glaciation, the Bering Strait land bridge hypothesis, and postulated Ancient-Man migration routes. Second, to make descriptions and comparisons of Upper Paleolithic tool assemblages for the purpose of determining what relationships may exist between Eastern Siberia, Alaska, and the temporate zones of North America. Third, to use data as the basis of an historical reconstruction of the peopling of North America as well as for the description of the cultural dynamics involved.

A Survey Of Pueblo Ii Archaeology, Stanley Dowlen Bussey

Anthropology ETDs

In the summer of 1962, the Laboratory of Anthropology of the Museum of New Mexico excavated twenty-three prehistoric sites on the right-of-way of a new highway, U. S. Interstate 40. The sites, located just south of the present U. S. Highway 66 from Bluewater, N. M., to the Fort Wingate ordinance depot, east of Gallup, N. M., appeared to be of Pueblo II Providence, as that culture period is broadly known. Analysis of the sites in terms of the overall Pueblo II pattern throughout the Anasazi southwest is made difficult by the lack of detailed consideration of the period. Generalized …

Modern Pottery-Making In San Anton, Mexico, Gordon J. Hadden

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The principal contemporary pottery-making techniques which are recognized for the Mexican area are; handmodeling, building, molding with convex molds, molding with concave molds, molding with concave "vertical halves" molds, modeling with revolving "moldes," and wheel-throwing (Foster 1955: 3) . We can attribute this diversity of pottery-making techniques to the blending of pre-Conquest native practices with those of the postConquest Spanish.

Pueblo Indian Religion, Medicine, And The Good Life, Mary Elizabeth Hamlin

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

While a public health education trainee with the Division of Indian Health, United States Public Health Service, I became interested in the socio-religious structure of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. During the nine month field training period spent in the Albuquerque area I investigated the existing ethnological literature concerning the Pueblo Indians. Research investigation in the area of the relationship between religion and medicine was accomplished by study of literature and field observation and inquiry. My concern was not so much the epidemiological determinants of disease and its prevalence. Rather it was with the "behavior of the people in …

The African Mineral Industry: Evolution Of A Supranational Level Of Integration, Alvin W. Wolfe

Anthropology Faculty Publications

First publication in which the development of a supranational system is recognized as a major evolutionary saltation. The authors writings along this line upset American financial interests and the United States government which were at the time obsessed with the "Cold War." On April 4, 1963, the New York Times reported that a leading American industrialist, Clarence Randall, had denounced me for what he called "a scandalous attack" against the mining industry of Southern Africa and by implication the entire mining industry of the West.
