  • The Paleoecology and Fire History from Crater Lake
    THE PALEOECOLOGY AND FIRE HISTORY FROM CRATER LAKE, COLORADO: THE LAST 1000 YEARS By Charles T. Mogen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science and Policy Northern Arizona University August 2018 Approved: R. Scott Anderson, Ph.D., Chair Nicholas P. McKay, Ph.D. Darrell S. Kaufman, Ph.D. Abstract High-resolution pollen, plant macrofossil, charcoal and pyrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) records were developed from a 154 cm long sediment core collected from Crater Lake (37.39°N, 106.70°W; 3328 m asl), San Juan Mountains, Colorado. Several studies have explored Holocene paleo-vegetation and fire histories from mixed conifer and subalpine bogs and lakes in the San Juan and southern Rocky Mountains utilizing both palynological and charcoal studies, but most have been at relatively low resolution. In addition to presenting the highest resolution palynological study over the last 1000 years from the southern Rocky Mountains, this thesis also presents the first high-resolution pyrogenic PAH and charcoal paired analysis aimed at understanding both long-term fire history and the unresolved relationship between how each of these proxies depict paleofire events. Pollen assemblages, pollen ratios, and paleofire activity, indicated by charcoal and pyrogenic PAH records, were used to infer past climatic conditions. Although the ecosystem surrounding Crater Lake has remained a largely spruce (Picea) dominated forest, the proxies developed in this thesis suggest there were two distinct climate intervals between ~1035 to ~1350 CE and ~1350 to ~1850 CE in the southern Rocky Mountains, associated with the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and Little Ice Age (LIA) respectively.

Kamphoefner Head of Department, Valerie Taylor August 2011 Major Subject: Computer Science iii ABSTRACT Designing a Griotte for the Global Village: Increasing the Evidentiary Value of Oral Histories for Use in Digital Libraries. (August 2011) Rhonda Thayer Dunn, B.S., Xavier University of Louisiana; M.C.S., Howard University; M.U.P., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. John J. Leggett A griotte in West African culture is a female professional storyteller, responsible for preserving a tribe‘s history and genealogy by relaying its folklore in oral and musical recitations. Similarly, Griotte is an interdisciplinary project that seeks to foster collaboration between tradition bearers, subject experts, and computer specialists in an effort to build high quality digital oral history collections. To accomplish this objective, this project preserves the primary strength of oral history, namely its ability to disclose ―our‖ intangible culture, and addresses its primary criticism, namely its dubious reliability due to reliance on human memory and integrity.

  • Radiocarbon Dating and Calibration and the Absolute Chronology of Late Neolithic and Early Minoan Crete
    RADIOCARBON DATING AND CALIBRATION AND THE ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY OF LATE NEOLITHIC AND EARLY MINOAN CRETE by PETER WARREN I Early Minoan Absolute Chronology In the determination of Aegean and thus, to some extent, south-east European chronology Minoan Crete has always played a crucial part. This has been so because, through Egyptian and Near Eastern links, Minoan chronology is fairly secure from the beginning of Middle Minoan around 2000 B.C. But the dating of the period before 2000 B.c., the Early Minoan or pre-palatial period, has been subject to much discussion. The writer, among others 1, has argued for a long chronology, based chiefly on two independent classes of evidence, the many links between Early Minoan I pottery and that of the Troy I and immediately preceding north-west Anatolian cultures 2 and imported and imitated Egyptian stone vases in EM contexts '. 1 S.
