IN 1911 the stream of ethnological research was directed by Dr. Rivers into new channels. In his Presidential Address to the Anthropological Section of the British Association at Portsmouth he expounded some of the effects of the contact of diverse cul- tures in Oceania in producing new, and modifying pre-existent institutions, and thereby opened up novel and hitherto unknown fields of research, and brought into prominence once again those investigations into movements of culture which had so long been neglected. A student who wishes to study problems of culture mixture and transmission is faced with a variety of choice of themes and of regions to investigate. He can set out to examine topics of greater or less scope in circumscribed areas, or he can under- take world-wide investigations which embrace peoples of all ages and civilisations.

The Guidelines have been derived from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treat- ment of Historic Properties and are specifi cally crafted to meet the needs of the City of Manitou Springs, Colorado. The Guidelines require reasonable application. Their purpose in the design approval process is to maintain and protect: • The historic integrity of individual structures and historic features in the District • The unique architectural character of the different sub-districts • The distinctiveness of the city as a whole The Guidelines provide a tool for property owners and the Commission to use in determining whether a proposal is appropriate to the long-term interests of the District. The parameters set forth in the Guidelines also support opportunities for design creativity and individual choice.

  • Cliff Palace Teacher Resource
    Teacher Resource Set Title Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park Developed by Laura Douglas, Education ala Carte Grade Level 3 – 4 Essential Questions How can primary sources help us learn about the past and how the people lived at Cliff Palace in what is now Mesa Verde National Park? What natural resources were used by the Ancestral Puebloan people that lived at Cliff Palace? How did the natural environment effect the way in which Ancestral Puebloan built their shelters? Why did the Ancestral Puebloan people migrate from Cliff Palace? Contextual Paragraph Mesa Verde National Park is located in Montezuma County, Colorado in the southwestern corner of the state. As of its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 it had more than 800 archaeological sites recorded or in the process of inventory. Today there are nearly 5,000 documented sites including about 600 cliff dwellings. Mesa Verde, which means, “green table” was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloans, a branch of the San Juan Anasazi Indians, from about 580 CE to 1300 CE. Today it is the most extensive and well-developed example of prehistoric cliff dwellings. For in depth information about Mesa Verde National Park visit the Colorado Encyclopedia at: https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/mesa-verde-national-park. Archaeologists have identified distinct periods during Mesa Verde’s habitation based on artifacts and ruins discovered there. The Cliff Palace was constructed during the Pueblo III period. According to dendrochronology (tree-ring dating), Cliff Palace construction and refurbishment happened from 1190 CE – 1260 CE, although most was done during a 20- year span.

  • Irrigation: Types, Sources and Problems in Malaysia
    17 Irrigation: Types, Sources and Problems in Malaysia M. E. Toriman1 and M. Mokhtar2 1School of Social, Development & Environmental Studies FSSK. National University of Malaysia Bangi Selangor 2Institute of Environment & Development (LESTARI) National University of Malaysia Bangi Selangor Malaysia 1. Introduction Irrigation is always synonym with agriculture. From ancient to modern era, irrigation has been around for as long as humans have been cultivating plants. Archaeological investigations were proved that from ancient Egyptians until the middle of 20th century, irrigation technology are gradually improved in conjunction with advancement in water technology, water transfer and agriculture systems. In simple terminology, irrigation can be defined as the replacement or supplementation of rainwater with another source of water. It is a science of artificial application of water to the land or soil. The main idea behind irrigation systems is that the lawns and plants are maintained with the minimum amount of water required. Irrigation has been used for many purposes, among them are for maintenance of landscapes and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. However when relates to agriculture, irrigation is one of a major section to assist in the growing of agricultural crops. Additionally, irrigation also protecting plants against frost, suppressing weed growing in grain fields and helping in preventing soil consolidation. The implementation of an irrigation system will help conserve water, while saving time, money, preventing weed growth and increasing the growth rate of your lawns, plants and crops. This article discusses on the irrigation in Malaysia- which is one of a major water regulation technology which helps to improved to about 14300 farmers in Malaysia.

  • Cliff Palace Mesa Verde National Park
    CLIFF PALACE MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK oday only swifts and swallows and insects inhabit the airy Talcove that protects Cliff Palace. But 800 years ago the dwelling was bustling with human activity. In this stunning community deep in the heart of Mesa Verde, Ancestral Pueblo people carried on the routine of their daily lives. This was also an important location within their world. Archeological research in the late 1990s reveals that Cliff Palace is different from most other sites at Mesa Verde, both in how it was built and in how it was used. A ranger-led walk down into Cliff Palace provides a closer look at the layout and con- struction of the building, and gives tantalizing hints at what makes this site unique. The one hour guided walk requires a ticket. You will descend uneven stone steps and climb four ladders for a 100 foot vertical climb. Total distance is about ¼ mile round trip (.4 km). The crown jewel of Mesa Verde National Park and an architectural masterpiece by any standard, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. From the rimtop overlooks, the collection of rooms, plazas, and towers fits perfectly into the sweeping sandstone overhang that has largely protected it, unpeopled and silent, since the thirteenth century. It’s impossible to be certain why Ancestral Pueblo people decided to move into the cliff-side alcoves about AD 1200 and build elaborate and expensive struc- tures like Cliff Palace. However, the sciences of archeology, ethnography, dendrochronology and a host of other disciplines offer us insights into this era in our region’s history.

  • Natural History of Architecture
    Press kit NATURAL HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE HOW CLIMATE, EPIDEMICS AND ENERGY HAVE SHAPED OUR CITIES AND BUILDINGS Guest curator Philippe Rahm Exhibition created by Pavillon de l’Arsenal 24 October 2020 – 28 February 2021 With the support of Communications Department, Alts PRESS RELEASE Exhibition and publication created by Pavillon de l’Arsenal Opening weekend: Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October The history of architecture and the city as we’ve known it since the second half of the twentieth century has more often than not been re-examined through the prisms of politics, society and culture, overlooking the physical, climatic and health grounds on which it is based, from city design to building forms. Architecture arose from the need to create a climate that can maintain our body temperature at 37 °C, raising walls and roofs to provide shelter from the cold or the heat of the sun. Originally, the city was invented as a granary to store and protect grain. The first architectures reflect available human energy. The fear of stagnant air brought about the great domes of the Renaissance to air out miasmas. The global cholera epidemic that began in 1816 initiated the major urban transfor- mations of the nineteenth century. The use of white lime, which runs throughout modernity, is above all hygienic. More recently, oil has made it possible to develop cities in the desert... and now, carbon dioxide is driving the architectural discipline to reconstruct its very foundations. The exhibition offers three chronological itineraries in one: the untold history of architecture and cities grounded in natural, energy, or health causes; the development of construction materials; and the development of energies and lighting systems through full-scale objects.
