The Road to Iconicity in the Pa- Leoart of the American West
ekkehart malotkI The Road to Iconicity in the Pa- leoart of the American West Introduction Throughout the world, all paleoart traditions considered to be the earliest uniformly display a remarkable noniconicity, whether they occur as port- able objects or in the context of rock art. This uniformity is believed to be attributable not to cultural difusion but to an evolved, predisposing neuro- biology shared by all human beings. This panglobal similarity of the most basic phosphene-like motif repertoires also holds for the Pleistocene-Hol- ocene transition period in the American West. From Canada to Northwest Mexico and from Texas to the Paciic Coast, canyon walls, boulder faces and rock shelters served as canvases for the arriving Paleoamericans and their descendants. Their non-igurative, geocentric marking systems, summar- ily labeled here Western Archaic Tradition (Fig. 1), lasted for thousands of years until in very limited areas full-blown iconicity in the form of distinct biocentric styles set in around the Middle Holocene (Fig. 2). Many regions, however, remained committed to the graphic Western Archaic Tradition mode until A. D. 600 or later or never developed representational motifs. Preceding the onset of imagery featuring anthropomorphs and zoomorphs, a seemingly restricted vocabulary of igurative designs –, primarily animal and bird tracks as well as hand- and footprints – that can be regarded as proto-iconic forerunners along the developmental path of rock art, observ- able in the American West. 171171 ekkehart malotkI Fig. 1: Typical WAT petroglyphs from a site north of St. George, Utah (photograph E.

Biographical History Harold Atwood Widdison was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 10, 1935 to Harold Edward and Margaret Lavona (née Atwood) Widdison. His only sibling, sister Joan Lavona, was born in 1940. The family moved to Helena, Montana when Widdison was 12, where he graduated from high school in 1953. He then served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1956 Widdison entered Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, graduating with a BS in sociology in 1959 and an MS in business in 1961. He was employed by the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington DC before returning to graduate school, earning his PhD in medical sociology and statistics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio in 1970. Dr. Widdison was a faculty member in the Sociology Department at Northern Arizona University from 1972 until his retirement in 2003. His research foci included research methods, medical sociology, complex organization, and death and dying. His interest in the latter led him to develop one of the first courses on death, grief, and bereavement, and helped establish such courses in the field on a national scale. -
Green Access and Equity for Orange County
HEALTHY PARKS, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES: Green Access and Equity for Riverside County ABOUT THIS REPORT This policy report is a summary for Riverside County of The City Project’s 2011 report, Healthy Parks, Schools, and Communities: Mapping Green Access and Equity for Southern California, which maps and analyzes green access and equity in nine counties in Southern California—Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Kern, Santa Barbara and Imperial—using narrative and legal analyses, geographic information system (GIS) mapping tools, and demographic and economic data. Unlike other studies, which plot either green space or population, the maps in this report plot green space in relation to population and other metrics that indicate accessibility, such as distance to the park. This report also provides multidisciplinary analyses of the vital benefits of parks and other green space to people and the environment. It describes the consequences of disparities in green access and the benefits that could be reaped in “park poor” and “income poor” communities if resources were fairly allocated. It concludes with recommendations for equitable investments in green space in Riverside County and throughout California and the nation. The goal of this work is to combine research and analyses with effective outreach to provide concerned citizens, community groups, elected and other government officials, planners, funders and other stakeholders with the best available information upon which to prioritize actions and decisions that positively impact green access and quality of life for all. Together we can help children be active, eat well, stay healthy and do their best in school and life. -
Four Directions Medicine Wheel Envisioned for Us by a Female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation
The Medicine Wheel at the First Nations University of Canada is the Four Directions Medicine Wheel envisioned for us by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation. This is but one Medicine Wheel, and since there are many Medicine Wheels, some people may see the wheel differently. For example, there are age Medicine Wheels, tribal Medicine Wheels, wheels for the four sacred plants (cedar, sage, tobacco and sweetgrass), the four seasons, the four aspects of the self (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), and personal Medicine Wheels. These wheels each have different colours, placements and meanings. The Four Directions Medicine Wheel as shared by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation “The Medicine Wheel was placed on Turtle Island by people thousands of years ago. For this Medicine Wheel, I want to honour one of the oldest things we have, which is our four directions. We seek knowledge from those four directions. We get power from those four directions. They pull stuff into our lives. When we call out to them in prayer, they will bring things to us. The four directions came with creation. We didn’t. We were the last thing created. And this is a garden, it’s coming from mother earth, so that’s where the four directions are coming from. When I look at a Four Directions Medicine Wheel, I see yellow in the east, blue in the south, red in the west, white in the north. The sun rises yellow in the east. It’s always going to rise in the east, and it’s always going to set in the west. -

TUOHY Nevada State Museum, 600 North Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89701 While attending the 32"'' Annual Meeting of the Society for California Archaeologists, April 8-11, 1998, I became acquainted with Dr. Henry C. Koerper who gave a paper with two co-authors, Henry Pinkston and Michael Wilken, and the paper's title was "Nonreturn Boomerangs in Baja California Norte." I asked for a copy of that paper and one other (Koerper 1997) he had previously written, "A Game String and Rabbit Stick Cache from Borrego Valley, San Diego Country, (Koerper 1998: 252-270). I told him about two wooden "Rabbit Clubs" which had been found in Lovelock Cave, (Loud and Harrington 1929:Plate 16a and b) (Figure 1) and the nine so-called "rabbit clubs" found in Fish Cave near Fallon, Nevada by S.M. Wheeler and his wife Georgia [Wheeler S.M. and Wheeler G.N. 1969:68-70; see also Winslow (1996) and Winslow and Wedding (1997:140-150.)] I told Dr. Koerper that I would date four of the nine so-called "rabbit clubs" from Fish Cave by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. -

SURFING THE WAVES OF “SMALL-SCALE” LOOTING: TOWARDS A RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SIERRA DE SAN ANDRÉS, BAJA CALIFORNIA ANTONIO PORCAYO MICHELINI CENTRO INAH BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICALI OLIMPIA VAZQUEZ OJEDA CENTRO INAH BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICALI For the past few decades, surfers from all over the world, but predominantly American, have visited the barely populated Sierra de San Andrés, 4 km North of Santa Rosalillita on the Pacific Coast of Baja California. These visits have turned the Sierra into one of the most heavily looted areas in the peninsula. The first archaeological survey in the area has revealed its archaeological richness along with the impacts caused by foreign looters. Therefore, it is urgent that environmental and surfing organizations take accountability and protection in the development of a responsible management plan for the Sierra de San Andrés. In order to recognize archaeological looting as a common and serious issue in Baja California, it is important to deconstruct the idea that looters are stereotypical criminals selling “treasures” on the black market. As a matter of fact, researchers from multiple disciplines including archaeologists had undoubtedly taken artifacts from archeological sites in Baja California and incorporated them into their collections without notifying Mexican authorities. On the other side, however, the coasts of Baja California had long been a surfing attraction for foreign tourists who have heavily impacted the cultural resources associated to these beaches. In this specific case, we will address a particular group of looters that have clearly affected archaeological settlements in the Sierra de San Andrés, in southern Baja California. GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF SIERRA DE SAN ANDRÉS, BAJA CALIFORNIA The Sierra de San Andrés is located on the Pacific coast of Baja California, 4 km North of the Santa Rosalillita town, which is ~100 km north of Guerrero Negro (Figure 1). -
