  • 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.

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.

In the Great Basin of western North America, the effect was positive for human populations. Relatively cool temperatures causing effectively wetter conditions filled some pluvial basins with shallow but permanent lakes and other basins with well- watered marshes or meadows. Vegetation communities dominated by sagebrush and grasses promoted healthy and diverse animal populations. Ten archaeological sites from the region have been dated to the Younger Dryas chronozone. Evidence from these sites indicates that Paleoindians with skull shapes and mitochondrial DNA similar to modern western North American Indians occupied the region. These early humans produced a material culture characterized predominantly by large stemmed bifacial points, although one site contained a small fluted point. Curated tool forms and technological activities represented in analyzed lithic assemblages suggest a highly mobile settlement strategy, and redundant short-term occupations of sites indicate frequent and long-distance residential moves across territories spanning distances of up to 400 km.

  • Nevada Heritage Playing Cards
    Nevada Heritage Playing Cards The Nevada Rock Art Foundation, along with the State Historic Preservation Office and the Nevada 150 Commission, created a deck of commemorative playing cards to highlight some of Nevada’s spectacular cultural and natural resources. The images were chosen by a broad coalition of partners, including the Governor’s Office, the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, state departments and agencies such as the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and the divisions of Nevada Natural Heritage and State Parks, federal resource agencies and preservation organizations across the state such as Preserve Nevada. The playing card decks, funded through a federal grant, will be divided for distribution among the nearly 25 partner organizations involved in the cards’ creation. For more information please visit www.dcnr.nv.gov Silver Terrace Cemeteries Hampton Tombstone The Comstock Cemetery Foundation (CCF) supports the protection of the unique Comstock cemeteries for future generations. Countless visitors are charmed by the cemeteries’ “sense of pastness” and patina created by 146 years of aging. The CCF preservation plan will maintain that patina while allowing for protective activities. The cemeteries of the Comstock have a layered and storied past. In 1859, people who died on the Comstock were buried in any convenient hole. The first formal cemeteries were established in 1859 at Gold Hill, and in 1867, the Silver Terrace cemeteries were established in Virginia City. These early cemeteries served as the Comstock’s first park-like areas used for relaxation and recreation. The formal cemeteries were designed complexes that contained sections for fraternal and religious groups.
