    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: LABORING IN STONE: THE URBANIZATION OF CAPITAL IN THE QUARRY TOWN OF TEXAS, MARYLAND, AND ITS EFFECTS, 1840 TO 1940 Adam D. Fracchia, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Stephen A. Brighton Department of Anthropology Capitalism is founded on the unequal relationship between capital and labor, a relationship that along with the expansion and accumulation of capital and labor power has come to influence everyday life and values. The quarry town of Texas, in Baltimore County, Maryland, offers an opportunity to explore this important relationship between labor and capital. Established in the mid-nineteenth century to quarry and burn limestone at a time of expanding industry and an expanding nation. The town was created to house the workers, primarily Irish immigrants and later African Americans hired to toil in this hazardous industry, and a community was formed and eventually destroyed. This study examines the logic and process of capitalism, drawing on David Harvey’s theoretization of the urbanization of capital to understand how life at Texas was influenced by capitalism. The role of and changes to the quarry industry’s operations are studied along with their impact on life in Texas and how industry aligned social relations in town to facilitate capitalism through the manipulation of material culture and space. Through an analysis of the built landscape and artifacts of everyday life, such as ceramic tableware and smoking pipes, in their social context, daily interactions can be studied within a wider framework and scale. Studying Texas in this manner demonstrates the utility and necessity of using a totalizing approach, as suggested by Harvey, to examine capitalism in historical archaeology.

Use by permission only: Anchorage photo: Michael Benson Beluga photo: T. McGuire, LGL Alaska Research Associates, Inc., under MMPA/ESA Research permit # 14210 Cook Inlet Beluga Whale DISCLAIMER Recovery Plan DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Assistant Administrator. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

This is mainly an unaltered edition, with only a few minor corrections as of January 5th 2009. All illustrated medals belong to the collection of medals at the University Museum in Bergen, photographed by the museum photographer Svein Skare. Modern and Contemporary Religious Medals and Medallic Art Henrik von Achen ‘Was es zu sehen gilt, ist das Aufgenommensein göttlicher Offenbarung in den Schoss des durch die Gnade der Offenbarung selbst erwirkten menschlichen Glaubens; von diesem Schoss will sie aufgenommen, getragen, zur Welt gebracht werden’. Hans Urs von Balthasar, in Schau der Gestalt , 1961. 1 The present text endeavours to offer a brief survey of the various categories of religious medals and religious medallic art since the 1960s. In this context, the term ‘religious’ is synonymous with ‘Christian’ (with a single exception), and within Christianity mainly, if not exclusively, synonymous with ‘Catholic’. The traditional concept of religious medals is – and must be – widened to include medallic art which is religious in the sense that a relation to faith and religion is articulated by employment of an individual iconography and a title, or by elements from the established Christian iconography. While traditional religious medals, the numismata sacra 2, have a very long history, indeed – almost as long as Christianity itself – the latter group of medallic art or objects is by and large a modern phenomenon.
