The Social Costs of War: Investigating the Relationship Between Warfare And
The Social Costs of War: Investigating the Relationship between Warfare and Intragroup Violence during the Mississippian Period of the Central Illinois Valley by Mallorie Ann Hatch A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved July 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Jane Buikstra, Chair Katherine Spielmann Christopher Carr George Milner ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2015 ABSTRACT War exacts a great social cost, not only upon its direct participants, but also upon the lives of the friends, family, and community of those who experience it. This cost is particularly evident in the increased frequencies of aggressive behaviors, including homicide, assault, and domestic violence, enacted by Western military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Similarly, among contemporary non-Westernized peoples, a cross-cultural conducted by Ember and Ember (1994) found a relationship between war and various forms of intragroup violence, including domestic violence, assaults, homicides, and violent sports. It is unknown, however, if this positive association between warfare and intragroup violence extends longitudinally for prehistoric populations uninfluenced by modern states. To test Ember and Ember’s (1994) results in an archaeological culture, this study examines whether or not an association between war and intragroup violence was present during the Mississippian Period (ca. AD 1000-1450) of the Central Illinois Valley (CIV). The Mississippian Period of the CIV represents an ideal context for examining war and violence questions, as considerable evidence of war and violence has been amassed from archaeological and bioarchaeological analyses. High rates of skeletal trauma, fortification construction, and the placement of habitations sites in defendable areas indicate war was of particular concern during this period. -

Geraci The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under The Supervision of Robert J. Jeske, Ph.D. The Kautz Site (11DU1) is a multi-component archaeological site located in the DuPage River Valley in northeastern Illinois. It was inhabited at least six different times between the Late Archaic and Late Woodland periods ca. 6000-1000 B.P. The site was excavated over the course of three field seasons between 1958 and 1961, but the results were never made public. -
Journa I of World-Systems Research
World Systems Theory, Core Periphery Interactions and Elite Economic Exchange in Mississippian Societies Robert J.Jcskc Department of Anthropology Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN 46805 j [email protected] Copyright 1996 by Robert J.Jeskc. Please do not cite without permis sion of the author. V. 7/8/96 Abstract World Systems Theory has been one approach used to explain the rise of the Mississippian social and political phenomenon. In this paper it is argued that a hierarchical model of core- periphery interaction docs not explain the Cahokian phenomenon, because several crucial clements of such a model cannot be demonstrated to have existed within the Mississippian system. It is suggested that looking at Mississippian society as a differential core-peripheral system may have utility as a framework for including concepts such as gateway communities and interacti on spheres previously used to describe the economic interactions between Cahokia and its neighbors. Introduction Archaeologists have long sought an explanation for the rise of Mississippian society in the major river valleys of the American Midwest and Southeast between A.D. 1000 and 1500 (Smith 1978). Over the years, our explanations have changed with the changing fashions of then-current theories of cultural evolution. From diffusion to cultural ecology to economic models ofredistributivc exchange, we have attempted to put a finger on the causal variables involved in the production of certain ceramic wares, the construction of earthen platform mounds, and the large and highly organized residential and ritual sites of these people. [Page l] JournaI of World-SystemsResearch None of these models have proven completely satisfactory, failing at one level or another to account for the complexity of Mississippian intergroup interactions revealed by the archaeological record. -

Known as the Knoxville South Waterfront Public Improvement Project, this plan represents a multi-year revitalization effort that will include 12 locations along the riverfront and adjacent uplands. The proposed undertakings require federal permitting from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which serves as the lead federal agency for the project, and US Army Corps of Engineers.

Port Fourchon Belle Pass Channel Deepening Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Port Fourchon Belle Pass Channel Deepening Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement APPENDIX A RECORD OF SCOPING PROCESS August 2018 Contents: 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Project Scoping Process 3.0 Public Scoping Meeting 3.1 Scoping Meeting Comments Attachments: Attachment 1 Scoping Prior to Public Scoping Meeting Attachment 2 Notice of Intent Attachment 3 Scoping Meeting Records: Public Notice List of Scoping Meeting Comments Other Comments and Letters Attachment 4 Agency Meeting Summary Notes and Record of Attendance Attachment 5 Public Engagement Register 1.0 INTRODUCTION The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 established a nationwide policy requiring that an environmental impact statement (DEIS) be included in all recommendations and reports on proposals for major Federal actions significantly affecting the environment. Further, NEPA policy requires that the process of scoping be done by way of mandating an early and open public discussion in order to identify the relative scope of issues and provide environmental information to the public before project actions are taken. This scoping report outlines the DEIS scoping process of the proposed Port Fourchon Belle Pass Channel Deepening Project in Lafourche Parish, and summarizes the key issues identified by during the initial scoping period. The sequential details of the project scoping activities are outline below. 1. On June 28, 2016, the project was started with a two day internal conference to develop the scope of work; during which the following scoping efforts were employed (Attachment 1): a. Identification of economic, engineering, environmental project teams b. Identification of project purpose and need, preliminary alternatives, deliverables, and milestones c. -

Editor's Introduction to Volume 2 of JWSR Christopher Chase-Dunn Department of Sociology Johns Hopkins University Baltimore
Editor's Introduction to Volume 2 of JWSR Christopher Chase-Dunn Department of Sociology Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD. 21218 USA [email protected] The second volume of articles and thematic sections in JWSR will be published during 1996. The first batch contains an article by Political Scientist Daniel Whitcncck on epistemic communities and global leadership and a special thematic section focussing around the ideas ofW. Warren Wagar regarding the future of the world-system and global politics. Wagar presented a summary of his ideas (developed more fully in his A Short History of the Future (Chicago 1992) at the American Sociological Association meeting in Washington DC in August of 1995. lncludcd with his essay arc thirteen comments by Sociologists, Political Scientists and activists who discuss and criticize Wagar's ideas, and a response to the critiques from Wagar. The Journal of World-Systems Research is primarily dedicated to the presentation of scholarly research on world-systems. Considerations of the future and of political practice arc not generally included, but the ideas of Wagar and his critics and supporters arc so relevant for both our collective future and for our understanding of the contemporary global system that we will make this exception without thereby transforming JWSR into a political magazine. The second batch of papers in Volume 2 ha~ been edited by P. Nick Kardulias of the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Kenyon College. This special thematic section focusses on anthropological and archaeological approaches to the study ofworld systcms. The papers were presented at the American Anthropological A~sociation meeting in Wa~hington DC in November of 1995 in two sessions on "Leadership, production and exchange: an evaluation of world systems theory in a global context." Nick Kardulia~ ha~ written an editor's introduction to this thematic section. -
