The Evans Site: A Contribution To The Archaeology Of The Gallina Region, Northern New Mexico, Charles H. Lange
The Evans Site: A Contribution To The Archaeology Of The Gallina Region, Northern New Mexico, Charles H. Lange
Anthropology ETDs
The Gallina Region in northern New Mexico is most accurately located by the intersection of 36 degrees 22' North parallel and the 101 degrees 52' West meridian. This is nearly the point at which the Llegua River, coming from the continental Divide about ten miles to the west, flows into the Gallina River (Plate II, a). A circle with this confluence as a center and with a fifteen-mile radius, would include the major portion of the ruins belonging to the Gallina group. Additional sites have been located west of the Divide in the Largo, Companero, Governador (Gobernador) drainages; south in …

New Mexico Anthropologist
To anyone who is somewhat acquainted with the southern Athapaskans of the southwestern United States, there are a number of marked historical similarities as well as some cultural resemblances between the southern Athapaskans and the Araucanian peoples. Both the Araucanians and the southern Athapaskans constitute discrete groups within which exist considerable differences of dialect (e. g., Picunche vs. Huilliche, western Navajo vs. Mescalero Apache), habitat (e. g., Navajo in highland steppe and forest vs. San Carlos Apache in lowland desert, Mapuche in humid forest vs. eastern Pehuenche in steppe and desert), native economy (e. g., sedentary agricultural Moluche vs. nomadic …

Extrapyramidal Mechanisms In Handedness In The Rat, James Chaplin
Psychology ETDs
From the previous work on handedness from Peterson, we know that there is a sharply localized area in the contralateral cerebral cortex of the frontal region for the control of handedness in the rat. Widespread occipital and temporal destructions are without influence when this area is intact.

Manzano: A Study Of Community Disorganization, Wesley Robert Hurt
Sociology ETDs
It is the objective of this thesis to depict the cultural history of a community that is now in a state of serious disorganization. By utilizing the historical method it is often possible to find forces in a community which may have contributed to its disorganization. For example, if it is found that a breakdown of institutions is followed by a state of confusion in society, it can be suggested that the disruption of the institutions was a causal factor in the later disorganization of the community.
The History Of The Referendum In New Mexico, Roy C. Stumph
The History Of The Referendum In New Mexico, Roy C. Stumph
Political Science ETDs
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the history and operation of the referendum in New Mexico. A resume of the history of the referendum in the United States has also been included to provide a background for understanding New Mexico's experience with this direct form of government. The thesis reveals that the law has been used only in a few instances, and that the people, far from using it in a reckless manner, have been conservative. Furthermore, the law in New Mexico is so difficult to operate because of the high percentages required, that only special interests with …

An Ethnological Study Of Michoacán In The Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth Centuries, Carolyn Miles Osborne
Anthropology ETDs
The purpose of this thesis is a study of life in the Michoacán proceeding the conquest and the changes in this life during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries due to the rule of the Spaniards. An attempt has been made to define, in the manner of common to acculturation studies, the cultural base upon which the pro-conquest Tarascans lived and to show how that was blended with the European or changed outright by it. The end of the eighteenth century was selected as a stopping place inasmuch as the rebellion which eventually resulted in Moxican freedom from Spain began …
