Next fall, Page 10 students and faculty alike will begin navigating the semester system. We include a description of the Outstanding requirements of both our majors under semesters further along in this newsletter. Alums 2011 We have had a few changes in our faculty since we last communicated with you. We have added an Page 11 Instructor of Anthropology, Dr. Laurel Monnig. Dr. Monnig received her Ph.D. from the University of ATH Alumni Round Illinois-Urbana-Champaign in 2008, and has done fieldwork in the Micronesia. Her position was created Up Fall 2011 to allow us to provide all incoming Nursing majors with a required introductory course in cultural anthropology. In addition, Dr. LaFleur Small was promoted to Associate Professor of Sociology with Page 12 tenure this past September, and Dr. Gaetano Guzzo, Mrs. Azadeh Jahanbegloo, and Dr. Frank Eguaroje 2011 Field School in were all promoted over the last two years from Instructor to the rank of Lecturer. Dr. Guzzo subsequently Archaeology resigned from the University after the summer of 2011, and we have just hired his replacement, Mr. Jonathan Varhola. Jonathan is a recent graduate of the WSU Applied Behavioral Science M.A. program, Page 13 and has taught several courses for us as an adjunct instructor during the past year. Dr. Anna Bellisari Dates to Remember recently informed us that she will retire at the end of June, 2012, and a national search for her ATH Graduate Stu- replacement is currently underway. Ann has been with the department since joining us full time in 1989, dent—C. Jones filling the position vacated by Dr. John Thatcher, but she actually began to regularly teach for us as an adjunct starting in 1982 while she was completing her doctorate at Ohio State. Page 14 Symposium on the In additional faculty moves, Dr. Marlese Durr spent the entire 2011 calendar year in Washington D.C. on Moorehead Circle a Franklin Fellowship, working for the U.S. Department of State. Dr. Jacqueline Bergdahl served as the WSU Faculty President in 2010-11, and in 2011-12 both she and Dr. Chigon Kim were granted Page 15 Professional Development Leaves (sabbaticals). Faculty News—A. Jahanbegloo and C. Kim I regret to tell you that we lost Dr. Matthew Melko during the summer of 2010. Matt was hired into Wright State in 1976 as the new department chair, in which position he served until 1982. Matt had many interests, but he was passionate about the development of civilizations, and he was deeply involved with the professional society known as the International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations. Page 16 In Memoriam— He served as Professor of Sociology until his retirement in 1995. He was a mentor to some and a friend to Matt Melko us all, and I distinctly recall how helpful he was to me when I succeeded him in 1982 as the department chair in my first stint in the job. Page 18 Faculty Information The following pages contain more information on what we have been doing and where the Department finds itself at the dawn of 2012. As always, we invite you to communicate – or stop in and visit – with us. We also invite you to post the page at the end of the newsletter or send us an email to tell us what you are Page 19 Send Us Your News up to.

FACULTY NEWS—JACQUELINE BERGDAHL I was Faculty president for the academic year 2010-2011. I learned a lot about governance in general during my two years involved in faculty governance (as Faculty President elect, then Faculty President). When I ran for the office I thought my duties would primarily revolve around getting the curriculum converted from quarters to semesters. And I did spend quite a bit of time with that issue, primarily running the degree programs and course approvals through the Faculty Senate meeting process. I also spent a lot of time with the campus master plan. I created an ad hoc com- mittee of faculty to ensure faculty representation during the master planning process. This committee met both with and separately from the University Building and Grounds committee. Considering how volatile the issues were con- cerning placement of future buildings on campus, I was very pleased when these two groups were eventually able to write a joint recommendation that was then used to refine the campus master plan. I also spent a great deal of time finalizing the Faculty Constitution. I had been involved in the Quadrennial Review Committee before coming into office and shepherded the constitution through the final phases of comment and approval while Faculty Presi- dent. The faculty governance system is a fascinating organism and I highly recommend getting involved if you want to see the big picture and have a voice in the governance of Wright State. I was granted a full year's professional development leave for the last year of quarters (2011-2012). My research languished while I was involved in faculty governance and I have been happy to revisit my research agenda. I have submitted an article that came out of ABS student David Knight's project about the characteristics of students who gamble online to the Journal of Gambling Studies. I am working on an article about Teaching and Food for submis- sion to the journal Food, Culture and Society as well as an article that looks at the impact of social class on driving.

UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY: MICROWEAR ANALYSIS OF BLADES AT THE MOUND HOUSE SITE SILAS LEVI CHAPMAN 89 Pages Understanding Middle Woodland period sites has been of considerable interest for North American archaeologists since early on in the discipline. Various Middle Woodland period (50 BCE-400CE) cultures participated in shared ideas and behaviors, such as constructing mounds and earthworks and importing exotic materials to make objects for ceremony and for interring with the dead. These shared behaviors and ideas are termed by archaeologists as “Hopewell”. The Mound House site is a floodplain mound group thought to have served as a “ritual aggregation center”, a place for the dispersed Middle Woodland communities to congregate at certain times of year to reinforce their shared identity. Mound House is located in the Lower Illinois River valley within the floodplain of the Illinois River, where there is a concentration of Middle Woodland sites and activity.

  • Ohio Hopewell Ceremonial Bladelet Use at the Moorehead Circle, Fort Ancient
    Ohio Hopewell Ceremonial Bladelet Use at the Moorehead Circle, Fort Ancient THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Logan Miller Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Richard Yerkes Advisor Kristen Gremillion Robert Cook Copyright by Gregory Logan Miller 2010 Abstract In the past twenty years, lithic use-wear studies have been used to determine the function of Hopewell bladelets from the Middle Woodland period in Eastern North America. These studies have uniformly shown that bladelets were multipurpose, utilitarian tools in domestic contexts. Bladelets found in mounds and at earthworks also were used for many different tasks, but some have argued that bladelets took on special symbolic functions in these ceremonial contexts. The question of bladelet function in ceremonial contexts remains unanswered because use-wear studies of bladelets have not been extensively applied to well provenienced ceremonial assemblages. Recent excavations at the Moorehead Circle within the Fort Ancient Earthwork (33WA2) in Ohio provided a sample of 66 bladelets from within a well defined ceremonial feature. A microwear study of these bladelets found that they were used for a wide variety of tasks. Analysis indicates that the Moorehead Circle bladelets represent the same range of tasks as bladelets found in Hopewell domestic contexts. The results are compared to expectations from several theories about Hopewell bladelets. The results of this study best fit the argument that bladelets were given as gifts during aggregations at earthworks. ii Acknowledgments Special thanks to Richard Yerkes of The Ohio State University for patiently teaching me the microwear process as well as granting me access to his lab, equipment, and reference collection.

  • Wright State University 2013 Field School in Archaeology (ATH 4650/6650)
    Wright State University 2013 Field School in Archaeology (ATH 4650/6650) Course Description Dates: May 6 – June 14, 2013; 6 credits (semester system) Director: Dr. Robert Riordan ([email protected]) tel 937-775-2667 The Field School runs Monday-Friday between 9am-4pm. We spend the first two days on campus in Dayton in orientation activities, followed by 1-2 days devoted to site location survey work, when we walk local agricultural fields to detect artifact scatters that represent previously unrecorded sites. The excavation phase begins on May 10. Fort Ancient is the largest Hopewellian hilltop earthwork enclosure, dating to c. AD 1-400. It is a State Park and also a National Historic Landmark. Remote sensing conducted there in 2005 detected a large and previously unknown circular feature almost 60m diameter in the enclosure's North Fort. The Ohio Historical Society subsequently invited Wright State to begin its investigation of the feature in 2006. The circular feature has since been named the Moorehead Circle after the pioneering archaeologist Warren K. Moorehead, who worked at Fort Ancient in the late nineteenth century. WSU's work since 2006 suggests that the Circle contained over 200 vertically-set wooden posts around its perimeter, many of them tipped into postholes. Some of these used shallow adjacent slip trenches which were subsequently filled with about 100kg of rocks each. Work done in 2008-09 indicates that on the western perimeter there are three concentric rings of posts, although it is possible that not all were in place concurrently. Just inside the perimeter rings of postholes meter-wide concentric clay floors embedded with limestone slabs were uncovered, each one separated from those adjacent by gravel-filled trenches.

  • Unraveling the Earth Force and the Geodetic Code
    Unraveling the Mystery of the Earth Force and Geodetic Code Don & Diane Wells © 2019 INTRODUCTION Steven Spielberg introduced the phase, “May the Force be with you” in his Star Wars series. In Episode IV: A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi explains the Force to Luke as "an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together." Spielberg was not that far off from reality. Guy Underwood in his book, The Pattern of the Past published initially in 1969 in Great Britain introduced the concept of the Earth Force. He said, “Observations of the influence which affects the water diviner suggests that a principle of nature exists which is unknown to, or unidentified by science. Its main characteristics are that it appears to be generated within the Earth, and to cause wave motion perpendicular to Earth’s surface: that it has great penetrating power; that it affects the nerve cells of animals; that it forms spiral patterns; and is controlled by mathematical laws involving principally the numbers 3 and 7. Until it can otherwise be identified, I shall refer to it as the Earth Force. It could be an unknown principle, but it seems more likely that it is an unrecognized effect of some already established force, such as magnetism or gravity.” THE EARTH FORCE Underwood described this Earth Force as being made up of three distinct lines of energy. He called these Water lines as found by the water diviners, Track lines and Aquastats lines. His tract lines are likely what is called today “Ley Lines.” He does not offer a definition of Aquastats but by the term used are likely some other water line.
