At The Whim Of The State: Neoliberalism And Nongovernmental Organizations In Guerrero, Mexico, William R. Yaworsky
At The Whim Of The State: Neoliberalism And Nongovernmental Organizations In Guerrero, Mexico, William R. Yaworsky

This paper examines the relationship between the Secretaría de Desarrollo Social (SEDESOL) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the Chilapa region of Guerrero, Mexico. I argue that the Mexican state via SEDESOL has effectively harnessed NGOs to perform as regional pillars of neoliberal reform initiatives. The intimacy of this relationship raises serious questions for those who see NGOs performing as vehicles for furthering local or regional "autonomy." Instead, I argue that regional NGOs are key role players in the deepening incorporation of communities into the global industrial economy.

Geology Of Centennial Valley And Stratigraphy Of Pleistocene Fossil-Bearing Sediments, Christopher L. Hill
Geology Of Centennial Valley And Stratigraphy Of Pleistocene Fossil-Bearing Sediments, Christopher L. Hill
Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations
This paper is based on stratigraphic studies conducted at the Merrell Locaility and other locations in Centennial Valley. The Merrell Locality is situated in southwest Montana, on the western end of Centennial Valley (Figure 30). It is notable for containing the fossil vertebrate remains of mammoth (Mammuthus cf. M. columbi), scimitar cat (a member of the sabretooths, Homotherium serum), horse (Equidae) and Yesterday's camel (Camelops cf. hesternus), as well as other plant and animal fossils of Pleistocene age (Dundas 1990; Dundas, Hill, and Batten 1996). Summaries and reports of research conducted at the locality include …

An assessment of the age of the deposits and the fossils incorporated within them at the Merrell Locality is based on radiocarbon measurements from bone and tusk collagen and organic sediments (Table 3 and Figures 75-76), and luminescence measurements on sediments (Feathers, this report). Nine radiocarbon dates are available from the site; seven are finite and two are infinite. The finite dates range from ca. 49,000 to 19,000 14C yr. B. P. (Figure 75).

The fossil remains of mammoth and other Pleistocene fauna found along and near the escarpment of the west shore of Lima Reservoir in Centennial Valley have been the subject of field investigations since the 1980s. Summaries or earlier studies conducted at the locality are presented in various published and unpublished sources including Albanese, Davis, and Hill (1995), Bump (1995), Davis and Batten (1996), Dundas (1989, 1990, 1996), Hill and Albanese (1996), and Hill, Davis, and Albanese (1995).
