Diferentes trabajos han dado cuenta de sus características durante ese siglo y especialmente en la región de la Puna de Jujuy. Durante la etapa colonial, esta zona fue sede de una de las mayores encomiendas de la gobernación del Tucumán, cuyos encomenderos eran los principales terratenientes puneños. Es por esta razón que Madrazo (1982) enfatizó la existencia de una estrecha vinculación entre la encomienda de servicio personal con el surgimiento del peonaje por deudas y el sistema de arriendos que se desarrolló en el siglo XIX. Sin embargo, poco conocemos acerca de esta relación en áreas cercanas y con trayectorias históricas similares. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunas de las características del acceso a la mano de obra en las propiedades (privadas y comunales) de la quebrada de Humahuaca durante el siglo XVIII como forma de reconstruir la relación entre comunidades indígenas, forasteros y propietarios españoles.

  • World Heritage Sites – Developments and Delistings
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 169/12 03 October 2012 NIAR 513-2012 Eóin Murphy World Heritage Sites – Developments and Delistings 1 Introduction The following paper discusses World Heritage Sites which have undergone development and delisting. 2 Key Points . The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 1972 and allowed Member States to nominate sites of local or national pride to be listed as World Heritage Sites (WHS); . There are currently 962 properties worldwide that meet the necessary criteria, with a further 1,561 tentative sites nominated by UN Member Nations; . Benefits to WHS status includes access to the World Heritage Fund, stimulus to awareness raising and educational initiatives and an enhanced tourism image and profile; . However, there are also costs such as ongoing management costs of up to €173,000 (£150,000) per annum; Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 513-2012 Briefing Paper . The impact of WHS status varies from site to site, with the pre-WHS socio-economic profile of the site having a particular effect. Variables such as pre-inscription status and branding also influence post-inscription success; . A site can be listed in danger of losing its WHS with the World Heritage Committee (WHC) able to intervene to address the situation. Interventions can occur for a number of reasons, including restoring sites following natural disasters or wars; . Initially a site which is in danger of losing its WHS status is identified by UNESCO and placed on the “List of World Heritage in Danger”.

  • Abstracts of Reports and Posters
    Abstracts of Reports and Posters Amira Adaileh The Magdalenian site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld The open air site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in Sachsen-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. It was discov- ered in the mid 1950´s in the immediate vicinity of the famous Magdalenian site of Saaleck. Since that time, archaeologists collected over 2000 lithic artifacts during systematical surveys. The technological and typological analyses of the lithic artifacts confirmed the assignment of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld to a late Magdalenian. Furthermore, the investigation of the surface collections brought forward information about the character of this camp site, the duration of its occupation and the pattern of raw material procure- ment. The fact that Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in a region with more than 100 Magdalenian sites fostered a comparison of the lithic inventory with other Magdalenian assemblages. Thus, allowing to spec- ify the position of the Lengefeld collection within the chorological context of the Magdalenian in Eastern Germany. Jehanne Affolter, Ludovic Mevel Raw material circulation in northern french alps and Jura during lateglacial interstadial : method, new data and paleohistoric implication Since fifteen years the study of the characterization and origin of flint resources used by Magdalenian and Azilian groups in northern French Alps and Jura have received significant research work. Diverse and well distributed spatially, some of these resources were used and disseminated throughout the late Upper Paleolithic. Which changes do we observe during the Magdalenian then for the Azilian? The results of petrographic analysis and techno-economic analysis to several archaeological sites allow us to assess dia- chronic changes in economic behavior of these people and discuss the significance of these results.

  • Customary International Law in United States Courts
    04 - Born.docx (Do Not Delete) 12/28/2017 9:45 AM CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW IN UNITED STATES COURTS Gary Born* Abstract: Over the past two decades, the status of customary international law in U.S. courts has been the subject of vigorous debate. On the one hand, proponents of the “modernist” position contend that rules of customary international law are presumptively rules of federal law, which apply directly in U.S. courts and preempt inconsistent state law even in the absence of federal legislative or executive authorization. On the other hand, the “revisionists” argue that, in the absence of congressional legislation or a U.S. treaty, rules of customary international law are generally not matters of federal law, and will therefore generally be governed by state law. This Article argues for an approach that rejects central elements of both the modernist and revisionist positions, while also adopting other aspects of both positions. The Article contends that the text, structure, and objectives of the Constitution, and the weight of judicial authority, require treating all rules of customary international law as rules of federal law, but that such rules will be directly applicable in U.S. courts only when the federal political branches have expressly or impliedly provided for judicial application of a particular rule. This approach would mirror the way in which courts apply U.S. treaties and other international agreements—treating them as matters of federal law but applying their provisions in U.S. courts only to the extent authorized by the political branches. The intentions of the political branches regarding application of particular rules of customary international law by U.S.

  • The Lobster Fisheries of the Caribbean
    The Lobster Fisheries of the Caribbean he Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) fisheries stretch from Bermuda to Brazil, including the Caribbean islands and coastal countries. Most Tmembers of the Palinuridae family, with 8 genera and 47 species wordwide, are found in shallow waters and live in coral reefs or among rocks. In Central America, the commercial lob- ster fishery has been active for more than 100 years, focusing mainly on P. Aarhus and, to a lesser extent, on P. Guttatus and P. Laevicauda. The region is one of the most important production areas in the Greater Caribbean, ranking third behind Cuba and the Bahamas, and ahead of the United States and Mexico. Panulirus argus, the most commonly fished species, has the following charac- teristics: • Grows to a total length of up to 45cm. • Lives in shallow waters to a depth of 90m or more. • Habitats include coral reefs, rocks, sea- grasses and mangroves. • Is gregarious and migratory. • Females move to deeper waters to lay their eggs, traveling by day in rows or lines of up to 50 individuals, moving together and maintaing contact with their antennae. Hatching usually takes place from April to October when the temperature is above 23º C. • After settling in a crevice, lobsters reach a length of approximately 7.5 cm in the first year. They remain there from 3 and 4 years before being recruited into the fishery. Panulirus argus is intensively fished operations.

    TOWN OF FARMINGTON ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 Cover Picture This issue of the Town of Farmington Annual Report continues the series of historical pictures on the cover. This is the twelfth in the series. La Amistad ~~ The cover picture depicts the ship, La Amistad © 1839. ~ Photograph courtesy of Wikipedia public domain, copyright expired The Ship La Amistad was a 19th-century two-masted schooner of about 120 feet (37 m). By 1839 the schooner was owned by a Spaniard captain, Don Ramon Ferrer.[2] Strictly speaking, La Amistad was not a slave ship as it was not designed to transport large cargoes of slaves, nor did it engage in the Middle Passage of Africans to the Americas. The ship engaged in the shorter, coastwise trade around Cuba and in the Caribbean. The primary cargo carried by La Amistad was sugar-industry products. It carried a limited number of passengers and, on occasion, slaves being transported for delivery or sale. ~ Narra ve courtesy of Wikipedia The Mende “In early 1839, Portuguese slave hunters abducted a large group of African people in Sierra Leone and transported them aboard the slave ship Tecora to Havana, Cuba, for auction to the highest bidder. Two Spaniards, Don Pedro Montez and Don Jose Ruiz, purchased 53 of the captives (members of the Mende people) in Havana and loaded them aboard the schooner Amistad for a trip to a nearby plantation. Just three days into the journey, however, the would-be slaves revolted, when 25-year-old Sengbe Pieh (known as Cinqué) escaped from his shackles and set about releasing the other captives.
