Again, in a subject such as Prehistory, so closely connected with various branches of written History, Geology, Ethnology, and Later Archaeology, it is very difficult to know when to be ultra-elementary, and when to assume a slight general knowledge of one of these allied subjects. Thus, in the chapters which deal with purely geological problems, a student of Geology wishing to learn something of Prehistory will find some of the most elementary geological ideas ex- plained at length, as all are not geologists.

[In a Letter to His Excellency General Sir W. J. Codrington, K.C.B., &c. &c. Governor of Gibraltar.] (Communicated by the Secretary of State for War.) THe. circumstances which led to our visit to Gibraltar, and the objects we have had in view, are so well known to Your Excellency that it is unnecessary on our part to do more than refer to one or two incidents in the early history of the cave. When the interesting objects contained in the upper chambers of the "Genista" cave on Windmill Hill were brought to light by Capt. Brome, Your Excellency addressed a letter to the Secretary- at-War, giving a preliminary report on the results; that communi- cation was forwarded from the War Office to the President of the Geological Society of London, with a request for an opinion as to the importance in the interest of science of following up the explo- ration, and for suggestions as to the manner in which it could be best conducted. The reply led to the sanction of the Secretary-at-War for the further exploration of the cavern by means of the labour of the military prisoners, under the able superintendence of Capt. Brome ; and, to pass over minor incidents well known to Your Ex- cellency, the objects discovered were forwarded to us in London for identification and scientific examination.

  • Haunted Detectives: the Mysteries of American Trauma
    HAUNTED DETECTIVES: THE MYSTERIES OF AMERICAN TRAUMA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian R. Hauser, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Jared Gardner, Adviser Professor James Phelan ____________________________________ Professor Linda Mizejewski Adviser English Graduate Program Copyright by Brian R. Hauser 2008 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I investigate American motion picture narratives from the 1990s in which detectives encounter the supernatural. These narratives did not originate during this decade, but there were a remarkable number of them compared to previous periods. I argue that the supernatural is often analogous to personal, national, or cultural trauma. I further suggest that a detective investigating the supernatural stands in for the psychoanalyst, who studies and treats this trauma. I then trace the origins of the supernatural detective in history, as well as in British and American popular fiction. To begin, I discuss Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) as an example of a supernatural detective, who is himself traumatized but who also manages to solve the supernatural mystery in the eponymous village. That solution points to the obscured narrative of women’s rights in the early-American republic. Next, I suggest that spaces can be traumatized like people. I introduce the concept of the chronotope of the traumatized space, which I then apply to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and its various film and television adaptations to argue that these influential haunted house tales have helped repress scientific research into the paranormal as a reputable field of inquiry and the paranormal researcher as an admirable calling.

  • Brixham Preprint.Pdf
    A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS APPROACH TO THE 19TH CENTURY EXCAVATION OF BRIXHAM CAVERN, DEVON, ENGLAND Donald A. McFarlanea, Joyce Lundbergb, and Warren Robertsc a W. M. Keck Science Center, The Claremont Colleges, Claremont CA 91711 USA. [email protected] b Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada. c The Claremont College Libraries, 800 N. Dartmouth, Claremont, CA 91711-3991 ABSTRACT The oldest known spatially-explicit archaeological excavation, conducted in Brixham cave, Devon, in 1858, is reconstructed using geographic information systems technology. Two dimensional plots of individual fossil taxa and flint artefacts demonstrate the utility of the technique for elucidating taphonomy and palaeobiology.The cave served as a den for hibernating brown bears, as a den for hyena and cave lion, and as a reliquary for their prey. INTRODUCTION Brixham Cave (also known as Windmill Hill Cavern) is a small solutional fissure cave located in the town of Brixham, Devon, England (Latitude 50.394 N, Longitude 3.513 W, altitude 25 m). The cave was closed to the surface in modern times, until it was uncovered during limestone quarrying operations on January 15th 1858. The landowner, a Mr John Philp, noticed the presence of an antler lying on top of a flowstone floor some 23 m into the cave, and the discovery was communicated to William Pengelly shortly thereafter. Pengelly recognised that the excavation of a pristine cave containing paleontological remains might resolve one of the most important scientific and philosophical questions of the mid-19th century – the contentious question of the “antiquity of Man”.
