  • Aliel: a Mid-Holocene Stone Platform with Cairn and Single Pillar in West Turkana, Kenya
    NYAME AKUMA No 86. December 2016 KENYA Aliel: A mid-Holocene stone platform with cairn and single pillar in West Turkana, Kenya Alex Wilshaw Herman Muwonge Frances Rivera Marta Mirazón Lahr Introduction In August 2016, the In-Africa Project, which fo- cuses on the palaeo-environment and human occupation of West Turkana during the late Quaternary (http://in-af- rica.org/), identified a stone platform and cairn whilst sur- veying an area between the Napudet Mountains and the Kerio River in Southwest Turkana. Different from other simple cairns in the area, this structure, locally known as Aliel, also exhibits: a) a single standing stone within the construction of the cairn; and b) a significant assemblage of pottery sherds (including Nderit ware) on the surface of the platform. Cairns, circles, platforms and stone struc- tures are well-known features of the prehistory of the Tur- kana Basin (Robbins, 2006, Wright et al., 2016), includ- ing complex megalithic architecture in the form of ‘Pillar sites’ characterised by the presence of multiple stone pil- lars placed vertically on the ground within a constructed platform, such as Lothagam, Jarigole and Kalokol (Hil- Figure 1: Map showing the location of Aliel in context debrand et al. 2011, Grillo & Hildebrand 2013, Nelson, with pillar/platform sites and pastoral sites in the area. 1995; Figure 1).

MODLIN has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MODLIN, BRAD A., Ph.D, August 2016, English We Walk and Say, “Oh” Director of Dissertation: Dinty W. Moore “To Cleave Means to Separate and to Join: A Look at Interstice in Prose” examines the use of interstice—the interlude between sections within segmented prose structures. The essay explores the benefits and risks of writing segmented structures and how gaps create meaning in the work of authors such as Roger Rosenblatt, Lia Purpura, and Maggie Nelson. In additional to structural interludes, interstice in content—the unsaid—is also explored through the works of Debra Marquart, Jenny Boully, Joy Castro, and others. The creative component, We Walk and Say, “Oh”, is a segmented creative nonfiction manuscript about a long walk. Collaging narrative and reflection, it explores questions of pilgrimage, stories & legends, and providence & accident. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract……………………………………………………….……………….….….….…3 Chapter 1: Critical Introduction: To Cleave Means to Separate and to Join: A Look at Interstice in Prose…………………………………………………………………….……5 Chapter 2: Creative Nonfiction Manuscript: We Walk and Say, “Oh…………….….….….27 Works Cited……………………………...………………………………………………136 5 CHAPTER 1: CRITICAL INTRODUCTION: TO CLEAVE MEANS TO SEPARATE AND TO JOIN: A LOOK AT INTERSTICE IN PROSE The nearer the peregrini are brought to the Holy Land, the more their progress is slowed by the increasing number of shrines and holy places lying in their way.

  • An Archaeological Inventory in the Pike's Stockade Area, Conejos
    An Archaeological Inventory in the Pike’s Stockade Area, Conejos County, Colorado by Kevin D. Black Principal Investigator Colorado Historical Society with a contribution by Bruce Wahle Denver Chapter Colorado Archaeological Society Sponsored by Colorado Historical Society Office of the State Archaeologist of Colorado Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification Denver, Colorado Colorado State Permits #2004–21, 2005–6, 2006–41 October 2007 Abstract During the 2004–2006 field seasons, an archaeological survey was conducted east of Sanford, Colorado as part of the training available in the Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC). The project thus used volunteers largely from the Colorado Archaeological Society (CAS) already enrolled in PAAC, supervised and trained by the Assistant State Archaeologist from the Colorado Historical Society. The inventory was completed on about 907 acres of the Pike’s Stockade State Historic Monument (PSSHM) in Conejos County, Colorado. The study tract encompassed a low shrubland environment on and around a volcanic mesa named Sierro del Ojito, bordering the wooded floodplain of the Conejos River, at elevations of 2,296–2,495 m. This area was intensively surveyed primarily to train PAAC volunteers in archaeological inventory and mapping methods. In addition, this portion of southern Colorado had been the subject of relatively little archaeological research interest, and the PSSHM—as a regional property of the Colorado Historical Society—made a logical choice for a PAAC survey project. As a result of the survey a total of 37 sites and 26 isolated finds (IFs) were recorded, including both American Indian and non-Indian materials. Historic period non-Indian sites comprise a rather diverse mix of artifact scatters, cairns, fences, stone enclosures, and rock inscriptions related primarily to ranching and recreational activities.

  • Sub-Local Differences in Late Holocene Land Use at Orstad
    Environmental Archaeology 10, 2005; pp. 51-71 Sub-Local Differences in Late Holocene Land Use at Orstad, Jreren in SW Norway, revealed by Soil Pollen Stratigraphy Barbara M. Sageidet Abstract Four soil profiles along an 84 m transect through a clearance cairn field on podsol soils at Orstad, JCEren,SW- Norway, were investigated. By relating pollen-analytical results to soil stratigraphical and morphological features, it was possible to reconstruct the landuse history of the site, and to reveal differences along the transect, although pollen preservation was poor. Human activity at Orstad began about 4500 uncalibrated 14C years BP. The reason for an intermediate abandonment of the site between about 4000 and 3600 uncalibrated 14C years BP was presumably a higher ground-water level, caused by local deforestation and/or by a climatic change. After that period, people seem to have grown cereals (Triticum and Hordeum) on at least two different field patches on the site. This land use was presumably occasional, and related to extraordinary needs. Fire-clearance seems to have been practised to prepare the fields for cultivation after long fallow periods. Between 2900 and 3200 uncalibrated 14C years BP, Orstad was possibly permanently inhabited. The agricultural fields were moved to higher levels, as the initial fields had become nutrient-depleted and too moist. Thin black layers in the profile may be remains of manure.

  • 1 H. and T. King Grant for Precolumbian Archaeology – V
    H. AND T. KING GRANT FOR PRECOLUMBIAN ARCHAEOLOGY Project Title: ROADS AND CHANGING MOBILITY IN NORTHWEST ARGENTINA (AD 1400-1800) Título de Proyecto: CARRETERAS Y CAMBIOS EN LA MOVILIDAD EN EL NOROESTE DE ARGENTINA (1400-1800 D.C.) Dr. Verónica Williams ABSTRACT: Mobility defines human behavior; roads make that mobility possible. Here we propose to study human mobility along route-networks in an area of the Middle Calchaqui Valley, Salta Province, Argentina. Working in La Hoyada Quebrada (or ravine), tributary of the Calchaqui River Valley, and a natural connection route to the puna. We focus on the archaeology and history of roads and route networks in this quebrada where local conditions –low precipitation and low modern population– have resulted in the preservation of these in this sector. Archaeological research highlights the fundamental role of high ravines and valleys for communication between different environments, since at least the first millennium of CE. Additionally, historical documents and secondary sources attest to the continued use and importance of this area as a transit zone until well into the Twentieth Century. As such, our case- study focuses on analyzing the development of roads and networks in the La Hoyada Quebrada at two different contiguous periods in time: The Inka (AD 1400-1532) and the Colonial (AD 1532-1810) periods. The La Hoyada Quebrada incorporates an important Inka road segment that connects the Calchaqui Valley with the puna and then into the saltpans, linking this area with the Atacama Desert and northern Chile. This Inka road incorporated several ancillary structures, such as way- stations (tampu), that were then reused subsequently.

  • Life and Death of Angoumoisin-Type Dolmens in West-Central France Architecture and Evidence of the Reuse of Megalithic Orthostats
    Bulletin de la Société préhistorique française Tome 113, numéro 4, octobre-décembre 2016, p. 737-764 Life and death of Angoumoisin-type dolmens in west-central France Architecture and evidence of the reuse of megalithic orthostats Vincent Ard, Emmanuel Mens, Didier Poncet, Florian Cousseau, Jérôme Defaix, Vivien Mathé and Lucile Pillot Abstract: During the 5th millennium Angoumois-type dolmens — tombs comprising a passage and a quadrangular chamber characterized by high-quality stone working — appeared in west-central France. During a recent collective research and evaluation program (2012 – 2015), excavations, multi-method prospecting, and technological and archi- tectural analyses have yielded new data. Megalithic monuments are part of a landscape that has been profoundly transformed by people, and are reflections of a desire to erect social and territorial markers. Geophysical prospecting undertaken for the first time on and around these monuments has revealed original features that contribute to the monumentalization of the landscape in the same way as the fortifications associated with the world of the living. The excavations of the Petite Pérotte and Motte de la Jacquille (Fontenille, Charente) dolmens have enabled us to define both petrographical type and geographical origin of the monoliths as well as to bring to light the architectural choices made by the builders. The builders clearly focused on the monoliths of the funerary chamber, as exemplified by the construction of the stone door of Motte de la Jacquille, a unique example in European megalithism. This work goes beyond mere aesthetic preoccupations, and demonstrates a genuine investment of symbolism in megalithic construction. One of the most significant advances relates to the discovery of numerous examples of old structural stones in the construction of the Motte de la Jacquille funerary chamber.

  • Mid Howe Chambered Cairn
    Property in Care (PIC) ID: PIC237 Designations: Scheduled Monument (SM90219) Taken into State care: 1934 (Guardianship) Last reviewed: 2004 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE MID HOWE CHAMBERED CAIRN We continually revise our Statements of Significance, so they may vary in length, format and level of detail. While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH MID HOWE CHAMBERED CAIRN BRIEF DESCRIPTION Alternative Spelling: Midhowe. The monument comprises a neolithic chambered cairn used for communal burial. It falls into a broad tradition of stone-built chambered cairns which started in Scotland in the 4th millennium BC. A short passage leads to a long interior divided by pairs of upright stone slabs into 12 compartments, some with low stone benches. The remains of at least 25 human skeletons were found, mostly lying on these benches, as well as some pottery, worked flint and animal bones. Walls, perhaps forming an enclosure, spring from the NE and SE corners of the cairn. The original roof does not survive since it had collapsed in situ. Secondary use of the site has been recognised but little understood. The tomb was excavated in the early 1930s and enclosed shortly afterwards within a stone-built ‘hangar’ within which visitors can walk around and over the tomb. Situated on the south coast of the island of Rousay, this large cairn is accessed across steep fields from the road on the hillside above, or from the Westness Heritage Walk, which runs along the coast.

Here, we report the results of a multidisciplinary study of Airgyrzhal-2, a high elevation (2005 m) site in the Naryn valley in central Kyrgyzstan. Two main occupation horizons were recognized, the earliest belonging to the Mesolithic (12th millennium cal. BC) and a later one dating from the Bronze Age (first half of the 2nd millennium cal. BC). Land snail analyses from the two horizons yielded almost identical assemblages of species of dry, open environments.
