OBSIDIAN: an INTERDISCIPLINARY Bffiliography
OBSIDIAN: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY BffiLIOGRAPHY Craig E. Skinner Kim J. Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 \ \ Obsidian: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography by Craig E. Skinner Kim J. Tremaine • 1993 by Craig Skinner and Kim Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Department of Anthropology San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0113 International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 Magmas cooled to freezing temperature and crystallized to a solid have to lose heat of crystallization. A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver. -

General Topographic Features I The MEAUP is located in the northern Nebraska Panhandle roughly 10 to 12 miles south of Crawford, Nebraska and five miles northeast of Marsland, Nebraska. This portion of the Nebraska Panhandle is dominated topographically by the Pine Ridge escarpment, a rugged, stony region of forested buttes and I deep canyons that divides the High Plains to the south from the Missouri Plateau to the north. The project area straddles the southernmost boundary of the Pine Ridge escarpment and another distinct topographic region to the south, the Dawes Table lands. Taken together, these regions form a unique local mosaic of I topography, geology, and habitat within the project area. I 2. Project Area a. Topography I The Pine Ridge escarpment covers more than one thousand square miles across far eastern Wyoming, northern Nebraska and extreme southern South Dakota (Nebraska State Historical Society 2000). -

2019 / 2020 Annual Report ABOUT US the CBAC Is a 501C3 Non-Profit Avalanche Center
2019 / 2020 annual report ABOUT US The CBAC is a 501c3 non-profit avalanche center Staff The unique and diverse snow climate, acres of pristine wilderness of the Elk Mountains and the remoteness of Crested Butte, Colorado, has presented challenges and limitations for Than Acuff statewide forecasting operations. The result is a need for accurate snow and avalanche information in the Gunnison Valley. From this need the Crested Butte Avalanche Center Executive Director (CBAC) was born in 2002. Unlike other government funded centers, the CBAC was Karen Williams started by volunteer forecasters issuing daily forecasts from a basement work station. Development Director Each year the CBAC strives to make huge improvements to meet the demands of our growing backcountry community. Forecasters our major goals each year are: Evan Ross Eric Morrow To provide the most accurate avalanche and weather information to Ian Havlick help all winter outdoor recreational users make the most informed Zach Kinler decisions when traveling in the winter backcountry environment. To secure enough funding to competitively pay and retain professional Board of Directors forecasters and staff, year after year. Keitha Kostyk To raise general public awareness about the Crested Butte Avalanche Center, President avalanches and safe backcountry travel through various community outreach events held throughout the winter.

Besant Beginnings at the Fincastle Site: a Late Middle Prehistoric Comparative Study on the Northern Plains
BESANT BEGINNINGS AT THE FINCASTLE SITE: A LATE MIDDLE PREHISTORIC COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE NORTHERN PLAINS CHRISTINE (CHRISSY) FOREMAN B.A., University of Lethbridge, 2008 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of Geography University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Christine Foreman, 2010 Abstract The Fincastle Bison Kill Site (DlOx-5), located approximately 100 km east of Lethbridge, Alberta, has been radiocarbon dated to 2 500 BP. Excavations at the site yielded an extensive assemblage of lithics and faunal remains, and several unique features. The elongated point forms, along with the bone upright features, appeared similar to those found at Sonota sites within the Dakota region that dated between 1 950 BP and 1 350 BP. The relatively early date of the Fincastle Site prompted a re- investigation into the origins of the Besant Culture. The features, faunal and lithic assemblages from twenty-three Late Middle Prehistoric sites in Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas were analyzed and compared. The findings show that Fincastle represents an early component of the Besant Culture referred to as the Outlook Complex. This analysis also suggests a possible Middle Missouri origin of the Fincastle hunters, as well as the entire Besant Culture. iii Acknowledgments The last two years have been the most exhilarating and rewarding of my life. For this I have so many people to thank. First, I would like to thank my parents. They have been and continue to be extremely supportive of my academic and career choices, and they taught me to take pride in my work, follow my dreams and argue my opinion. -

Bauer, 1971, pp. 231-234 in: San Luis Basin (Colorado), James, H. L.; [ed.], New Mexico Geological Society 22nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 340 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1971 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

Aliel: a Mid-Holocene Stone Platform with Cairn and Single Pillar in West Turkana, Kenya
NYAME AKUMA No 86. December 2016 KENYA Aliel: A mid-Holocene stone platform with cairn and single pillar in West Turkana, Kenya Alex Wilshaw Herman Muwonge Frances Rivera Marta Mirazón Lahr Introduction In August 2016, the In-Africa Project, which fo- cuses on the palaeo-environment and human occupation of West Turkana during the late Quaternary (http://in-af- rica.org/), identified a stone platform and cairn whilst sur- veying an area between the Napudet Mountains and the Kerio River in Southwest Turkana. Different from other simple cairns in the area, this structure, locally known as Aliel, also exhibits: a) a single standing stone within the construction of the cairn; and b) a significant assemblage of pottery sherds (including Nderit ware) on the surface of the platform. Cairns, circles, platforms and stone struc- tures are well-known features of the prehistory of the Tur- kana Basin (Robbins, 2006, Wright et al., 2016), includ- ing complex megalithic architecture in the form of ‘Pillar sites’ characterised by the presence of multiple stone pil- lars placed vertically on the ground within a constructed platform, such as Lothagam, Jarigole and Kalokol (Hil- Figure 1: Map showing the location of Aliel in context debrand et al. 2011, Grillo & Hildebrand 2013, Nelson, with pillar/platform sites and pastoral sites in the area. 1995; Figure 1).
