    Dissertation Rough Draft Final

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Melville on the Beach: Transnational Visions of America A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Ikuno Saiki December 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson Dr. Steven Gould Axelrod Dr. Traise Yamamoto Copyright by Ikuno Saiki 2018 The Dissertation of Ikuno Saiki is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments This project would not have been finalized without the invaluable assistance of many people. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my exam advisor and former dissertation chairperson, Professor Emory Elliott. Throughout the irregular and tedious process of completing my degree, he constantly encouraged me and supported me by frequent e- mail messages, writing from his office in early morning, or from a hotel in China at midnight, until a month before his sudden demise. I learned, and am still learning, from his enthusiastic and humanitarian approach to literature and from his pure devotion to help his students. Professor Jennifer Doyle was on my exam committee, and kindly succeeded Professor Elliott as chair. She made it possible for me to finish the dissertation within a limited amount of time, and her advice gave me a framework within which to integrate all my ideas. Professor Steven Gould Axelrod and Professor Traise Yamamoto supported me in the first difficult quarter at UC Riverside in 2001. I learned scholarship and the art of research from Professor Axelrod’s meticulous and warm suggestions on my seminar papers. Professor Yamamoto, who provides energetic guidance and affectionate care for her students, is one of my unattainable role models.

  • Glacial History of the Antarctic Peninsula Since the Last Glacial Maximum—A Synthesis

    Glacial History of the Antarctic Peninsula Since the Last Glacial Maximum—A Synthesis

    Glacial history of the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum—a synthesis Ólafur Ingólfsson & Christian Hjort The extent of ice, thickness and dynamics of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice sheets in the Antarctic Peninsula region, as well as the pattern of subsequent deglaciation and climate development, are not well constrained in time and space. During the LGM, ice thickened considerably and expanded towards the middle–outer submarine shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula. Deglaciation was slow, occurring mainly between >14 Ky BP (14C kilo years before present) and ca. 6 Ky BP, when interglacial climate was established in the region. After a climate optimum, peaking ca. 4 - 3 Ky BP, a cooling trend started, with expanding glaciers and ice shelves. Rapid warming during the past 50 years may be causing instability to some Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves. Ó. Ingólfsson, The University Courses on Svalbard, Box 156, N-9170 Longyearbyen, Norway; C. Hjort, Dept. of Quaternary Geology, Lund University, Sölvegatan 13, SE-223 63 Lund, Sweden. The Antarctic Peninsula (Fig. 1) encompasses one Onshore evidence for the LGM ice of the most dynamic climate systems on Earth, extent where the natural systems respond rapidly to climatic changes (Smith et al. 1999; Domack et al. 2001a).

    Archaeological Investigation of the Pyrrhus Concer Homesite

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE PYRRHUS CONCER HOMELOT Village of Southampton, Town of Southampton Suffolk County, New York Principle Archaeologist: Allison Manfra McGovern, Ph.D. Contributions by: Mark S. Tweedie, M.A., R.P.A. Field Crew: Jenna Wallace Coplin, M.A., M.Phil., R.P.A. Cara Frissell, doctoral student, CUNY Graduate Center Meg Gorsline, M.Phil. Mark S. Tweedie, M.A., R.P.A. March 2, 2017 ABSTRACT This report presents the results of archaeological investigation of the Pyrrhus Concer Homelot located at 51 Pond Lane in the Village and Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, New York. This fieldwork was carried out in June 2016. The purpose of the archaeological investigation is to (1) investigate the integrity and significance of buried archaeological deposits on the property, (2) inform the interpretation of the Concer homelot, and (3) outline a record of buried archaeological resources on the property to assist in future maintenance, restoration, and management of the site. No standing structures will be evaluated as part of this survey. A total of 34 shovel tests and 2 one-meter-square units was excavated on the property. Overall, the archaeological survey serves to document the twentieth and twenty-first century disturbance of the site, but it also sheds light on the nineteenth century lived experiences of Concer, his family, and his grandparents before him. The artifacts that were recovered provide visual clues to those interested in Concer’s life, and local and national histories. And significantly, the historical archaeological investigation of this site has determined that 51 Pond Lane is notable as a site of early free black land ownership, as early as the nineteenth century, during the era of Gradual Emancipation in New York State.
