The Archaeology Of Rockshelters On Fountain Creek, Maury County, Tennessee, Robert F. Entorf

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study is to describe and compare 11 archaeological assemblages recovered from six rockshelters located along Fountain Creek, a major tributary of the Duck River in Middle Tennessee. A theoretical model of forager and hunter-gatherer subsistence-settlement organization provide a framework for the evaluation of the rockshelter assemblages. The analytical and comparative procedures indicate that (1) there are significant differences in the content of contemporaneous assemblages, and (2) there is a significant increase in assemblage variability and breadth of activities represented at the rockshelters through time. It is suggested that this patterning may reflect a gradual change in …

Archaeological Testing Of The John King Site (9cam182) And The Cedar Bluff Site (9cam186), Jeanne A. Ward

Masters Theses

During the winter of 1983, archaeological testing took place at the John King and Cedar Bluff sites on the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Camden County, Georgia. One by two meter units were placed evenly across the area which the site survey had identified as containing representative artifacts from the Late Archaic through early historic settlement. This thesis details the results of this investigation.

Research objectives for the Cedar Bluff Site included an investigation of shifting prehistoric cultural boundaries through time and an investigation of spatial differentiation of settlement throughout the Late Archaic occupation and other cultural phases at this …

Developmental Implications Of Palmar Dermatoglyphics Among Highland And Lowland Peruvian Quechua, Kenneth R. Parham

Doctoral Dissertations

This study presents a comparison of quantitative palmar dermatoglyphic characters among highland and lowland Peruvian Quechua. These data are interpreted in light of an environmental hypothesis suggesting that hypoxia at high altitude affects the development of the fetus during the first trimester of gestation when dermal ridges are formed.

The highland population is from the village of Ondores in the Province and Department of Junin, and the lowland population, the only known Quechua-speakers from the tropics east of the Andes, is from the village of Pamashto in the Province of Lamas and the Department of San Martin. Historical accounts and …

Singing Schools In Southcentral Kentucky, Donald Beisswenger

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Singing school teachers, who teach rural church congregations to sing from shape-note gospel songbooks, are still working in southcentral Kentucky, but the demand for them is smaller than it was in the first half of the twentieth century. The interdependence network in which singing school teachers, songbook publishers, and community singing events were key parts began to weaken in the 1940s as a result of the growth in popularity of professional gospel quartet concerts and gospel record albums. Many gospel music enthusiasts who once looked to songbooks as a major source for new material and for developing singing skills turned …

Mississippian Architecture: Temporal, Technological, And Spatial Patterning Of Structures At The Toqua Site (40m R6), Richard R. Polhemus

Masters Theses

The description and analysis of 130 Native American structures from the Toqua site (40MR6) provide an architectural typology for determining age, form, and function of Mississippian and historic Cherokee structural remains in East Tennessee. The Toqua structure, ranging in age from circa A.D. 1200 to circa A.D. 1780, are examined for temporal, technological, and spatial patterning and are compared with 469 structures from 58 Mississippian archaeological sites in the interior Southeastern United States.

Superimposed structures and radiocarbon determinations provided a temporal sequence of structure types. Closely controlled excavations, botanical analysis of construction materials, and technological studies of building materials provided …

Turner Syndrome Dermatoglyphics: A Principal Components Analysis, Maxine J. Miller

Masters Theses

This thesis investigates the general hypothesis that developmental stress resulting from monosomy of the X chromosome will result in changes in the dermal ridge system of the fingers and palms. The specific hypotheses proposed are that when contrasting Turner syndrome females to controls of both sexes the results will be that Turners will exhibit increased total variance in ridge counts, increased directional asymmetry, changes in growth gradients, and deviations in lateralization.

Using principal components analysis for the fingers and palms, Turners were found to exhibit increased total variance, an increased directional asymmetry on the fingers and a deviation from the …

A Congenital Meningocoele In Prehistoric Australia, Steve Webb, Alan Thorne

Steve Webb

This report concerns a congenital meningocoele in a young adult Aboriginal female from north-western New South Wales, Australia. The fact that this individual reached adulthood throws new light on the attitude of these nomadic people towards such conditions. Evidence of this kind may prompt also a re-evaluation by prehistorians and anthropologists of the popularly held belief that all such malformations were automatically eliminated by infanticide. The discovery of this form of pathology helps provide new information not only on past cultural attitudes towards disease, but its frequency and geographical incidence, and adds to our knowledge concerning the range of pathological …
