Diablo Canyon Archaeology: Prehistoric Hunting Along California Coast, Terry L. Jones
Diablo Canyon Archaeology: Prehistoric Hunting Along California Coast, Terry L. Jones
Terry L. Jones
Anthropologist Terry Jones of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has evidence suggesting prehistoric human hunters drove a flightless duck to extinction about 4,000 years ago. His theory is based on a 10,000-year history of shell and bone refuse, and other remnants of human settlement, excavated in the 1960s during the construction of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo County. The refuse is part of what archeologists call a “kitchen midden”–a trash heap showing what people hunted and ate. The Chumash Indians are among the modern descendants of the coastal dwellers represented at the site.

Ethnic Nationalism And Adaptation In Cyprus, Neophytos Loizides

Ethnic Nationalism and Adaptation in Cyprus NEOPHYTOS G. LOIZIDES Queen’s University Belfast Both ethnic communities in Cyprus have maintained strong political and cultural ties with Greece and Turkey, respectively, and at some point of their twentieth century history, each has aspired to become part of either the former or the latter. Yet the way this relationship has been imagined has differed across time, space, and class. Both communities have adapted their identities to prevailing ideological waves as well as political opportunities, domestic alliances, and interests. The article evaluates different responses to ethnic nationalism, highlighting important intra-ethnic differentiations within each Cypriot …
Diablo Canyon Archaeology: Trans-Holocene Faunal Exploitation Along The Central California Coast, Terry L. Jones
Diablo Canyon Archaeology: Trans-Holocene Faunal Exploitation Along The Central California Coast, Terry L. Jones
Terry L. Jones
The objectives of the Diablo Canyon Archaeology project were to (1) refine the dating of archaeological sites CA-SLO-2 and CA-SLO-585; (2) identify the mammal, bird, and fish bones from these sites; (3) employ the resulting temporally controlled faunal matrix to improve understanding of California’s earliest coastal inhabitants and (4) address issues of nearshore ecology related to prehistoric human predation on sea otters and abalone as represented in the faunal record. The project was supposed to result in a published peer-reviewed paper and possible participation in a symposium on restoration ecology.

In recent years, the Australian Government has committed significant resources to combating trafficking in persons. Within this larger anti-trafficking effort, the community sector, law enforcement, prosecutors, health professionals and members of the community all have an important role to play. As each sector comes to terms with the reality of trafficking in Australia, it is important that emerging challenges and possible solutions are identified. This paper focuses on the challenges that may confront law enforcement officials in any country in their efforts to detect trafficking, identify victims, investigate offences and contribute to the successful prosecution of offenders. Drawing on international …
Organizing Geographic Information: The Creation Of The National Spatial Data Infrastructure, Bradley Wade Bishop
Organizing Geographic Information: The Creation Of The National Spatial Data Infrastructure, Bradley Wade Bishop
Bradley Wade Bishop
Prior to government regulations issued in OMB Circular A-16 in 1990, the organization and dissemination of geospatial data collected by the United State’s governments were unregulated and informal. Circular A-16 called for the creation of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and charged the FGDC with creating and implementing metadata standards for geospatial data. The importance of geospatial interoperability and metadata standardization between agencies was amplified in 1994 with EO 12906. EO 12906 called for the creation of a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is the coordination of the creation, collection, dissemination, and storage of …
Collaboration: Critical Success Factors For Student Learning, Ken Haycock
Collaboration: Critical Success Factors For Student Learning, Ken Haycock
Ken Haycock
Several studies identify collaboration between classroom teachers and teacher-librarians as a key factor that affects student achievement. Studies in teacher-librarianship have established procedures and processes for effective collaboration. This study examines collaboration from a broader theoretical and research perspective, beginning with 20 factors that specifically influence successful collaborations. These are clustered in six areas: factors related to the environment, to membership characteristics, to process and structure, to communication, to purpose, and to resources. Research from teacher-librarianship is then applied to substantiate and reinforce the factors and provide context for successful collaboration and thus effect on students' learning in schools. Reprinted …

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in San Jose, California is a unique dual-use library serving the students of San Jose State University and the community of San Jose, California. The reference collections of the two libraries are merged and interfiled to promote ease of access for both populations served. Economies of scale were realized through collaborative collection development activities for major reference purchases between the two institutions. This article describes the planning and creation of the King Library's merged reference collection and reviews the literature of collaborative collection development and merged or interfiled collections.
