A facilitator skilled in interpretive planning works with park staff, partners, and outside consultants to prepare a plan that is consistent with other current planning documents. Part 1 of the LRIP establishes criteria against which existing and proposed personal services and media can be measured. It identifies themes, audiences, audience experiences, and issues. Part 2 describes the mix of services and facilities that are necessary to achieve management goals and interpretive mission. It includes implementation charts that plot a course of action, assign responsibilities, and offer a schedule of activity. When appropriate, Appendices provide more detailed discussions of specific topics. The completed LRIP forms a critical part of the more inclusive Comprehensive Interpretive Plan (CIP).

    STABLE ISOTOPIC INSIGHTS INTO THE SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS OF PREHISTORIC DOGS (CANIS FAMILIARIS) AND THEIR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS IN NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sharon Allitt May 2011 Examining Committee Members: R. Michael Stewart, Advisory Chair, Temple University Anthony Ranere, Temple University Charles Weitz, Temple University Mark Schurr, Notre Dame University M. Anne Katzenberg, External Member, University of Calgary © Copyright 2011 by Sharon Allitt All Rights Reserved ! ii ABSTRACT Title: STABLE ISOTOPIC INSIGHTS INTO THE SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS OF PREHISTORIC DOGS (CANIS FAMILIARIS) AND THEIR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS IN NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA Candidate's Name: Sharon Allitt Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: R. Michael Stewart, Phd There are four goals to this study. The first is to investigate the diet of prehistoric dogs (Canis familiaris) in the Northeast region of North America using stable isotope analysis. The second goal of this study is to generate independent data concerning the presence or absence of C4 resources, such as maize, in the diets of dogs. Third, this study investigates the use of dog bone as a proxy for human bone in studies assessing the presence of C4 resources at archaeological sites. The fourth goal of this study is to provide a check on existing interpretations of the material, macro- and micro- botanical records as it concerns the presence or absence of C4 resources at the sites involved in this study. Stable isotope analysis is a science that allows the measuring of the abundance ratio of two stable isotopes of a particular element.

The parkway's designers, through the use of a curved three-lane road with an exposed aggregate surface, intended this highway to serve not only a means for visitors to enjoy the park but also to limit the speed and numbers of vehicles on the road itself. The parkway's bridges and tunnel, all relatively small and sparsely ornamented, reflect the desire of the planners for these structures to complement the natural environment of the Colonial National Historical Park.

  • North America
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 409-454 20 North America Dan Hicks and Michael D. Petraglia 20.1 Introduction On entering the main entrance of the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) and descending the stairs into the Court, the visitor comes face-to-face with a central display case titled ‘Pottery from North America’.1 Looking down on the case and the visitor, the 11-metre high Haida House Pole stands against the east wall of the Museum (1901.39.1). But as well as these iconic Native American objects, the PRM holds a wide, varied collection of ethnographic, photographic and archaeological material from North America, some of which is displayed in the galleries, but most of which is held in storerooms. The archaeological collections come from across the United States, Canada and Greenland, from the Canadian Arctic to the southwestern deserts of the USA, and they span the entire length of the Holocene, from the Palaeoindian period and into the colonial period. There are c. 4,930 objects recorded as from North America that are currently defined as ‘archaeological’. Of these, c. 3,627 are from the USA (Table 20.1), c. 720 from Canada (Table 20.2), and c. 125 from Greenland. The remaining 435 objects are currently recorded only as ‘North America’, although further documentary research (especially for those objects transferred from the Ashmolean Museum) may provide further detail for these objects. As with other chapters, the definition of what might count as ‘archaeological’ or ‘ethnographic’ (and what has done in the past) is far from clear-cut.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2021 396 Misadventures in Archaeology: The Life and Career of Charles Conrad Abbott Carolyn Dillian and Charles A. Bello. University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 2020 276 pages, 32 illustrations ISBN: 978194905705 DOI: https://doi.org/10.14713/njs.v7i1.240 Charles Conrad Abbott is remembered today--when he is remembered at all--as a marginal figure in the history of American archaeology. Abbott advocated in the second half of the nineteenth century for the now discredited and outlandish notion that there was an American Paleolithic akin to that only then recently recognized in Europe. Abbott was a dilettante whose privileged status as an educated and elite white male allowed him to espouse and promote the American Paleolithic at the highest levels of academia, despite having no formal training or education in archaeology. On the battlefield of ideas about the past, he was vanquished by the leader of a newly emerging professional class of archaeologists seated not in the halls of academia but rather in government offices: the Smithsonian Institution’s William Henry Holmes. Holmes ably demonstrated that Abbott’s “paleoliths” from his farm in New Jersey that superficially represented hand axes from Late Paleolithic France and England were, in fact, early stages in the production of stone tools. The dethronement of Abbott’s American Paleolithic--and Abbott’s status as a leader in American archaeology--is, of course, central to the fascinating and well-written biography of Abbott, Misadventures in Archaeology: The Life and Career of Charles Conrad Abbott (hereafter Misadventures), by two archaeologists with an extensive background in the archaeology of New Jersey, Drs.
