    Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes

    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

A total of approximately 41 m of spot core was taken from 15 three separate sections of the borehole; the core samples consist of fractured arkosic sandstones 16 and shale west of the SAF zone (Pacific Plate) and sheared fine-grained sedimentary rocks, 17 ultrafine black fault-related rocks, and phyllosilicate-rich fault gouge within the fault zone 18 (North American Plate). The fault zone at SAFOD consists of a broad zone of variably damaged 19 rock containing localized zones of highly concentrated shear that often juxtapose distinct 20 protoliths. Two zones of serpentinite-bearing clay gouge, each meters-thick, occur at the two 21 locations of aseismic creep identified in the borehole on the basis of casing deformation.

    Characterization of Olivine Fabrics and Mylonite in the Presence of Fluid

    Jung et al. Earth, Planets and Space 2014, 66:46 http://www.earth-planets-space.com/content/66/1/46 FULL PAPER Open Access Characterization of olivine fabrics and mylonite in the presence of fluid and implications for seismic anisotropy and shear localization Sejin Jung1, Haemyeong Jung1* and Håkon Austrheim2 Abstract The Lindås Nappe, Bergen Arc, is located in western Norway and displays two high-grade metamorphic structures. A Precambrian granulite facies foliation is transected by Caledonian fluid-induced eclogite-facies shear zones and pseudotachylytes. To understand how a superimposed tectonic event may influence olivine fabric and change seismic anisotropy, two lenses of spinel lherzolite were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The granulite foliation of the surrounding anorthosite complex is displayed in ultramafic lenses as a modal variation in olivine, pyroxenes, and spinel, and the Caledonian eclogite-facies structure in the surrounding anorthosite gabbro is represented by thin (<1 cm) garnet-bearing ultramylonite zones. The olivine fabrics in the spinel bearing assemblage were E-type and B-type and a combination of A- and B-type lattice preferred orientations (LPOs). There was a change in olivine fabric from a combination of A- and B-type LPOs in the spinel bearing assemblage to B- and E-type LPOs in the garnet lherzolite mylonite zones. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses reveal that the water content of olivine in mylonite is much higher (approximately 600 ppm H/Si) than that in spinel lherzolite (approximately 350 ppm H/Si), indicating that water caused the difference in olivine fabric.

    INFLUENCE OF GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE ON FLOW PATTERNS OF GROUNDWATER IN THE VICINITY OF YUCA MOUNTAIN - PROGRESS ON REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE Prepared for Nuclear Regulatory Commission Contract NRC-02-88-005 Prepared by Stephen R. Young Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses San Antonio, Texas September 1992 INFLUENCE OF GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE ON FLOW PATTERNS OF GROUNDWATER IN THE VICINITY OF YUCCA MOUNTAIN- PROGRESS ON REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE 1.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to document progress on a review of literature being conducted to determine the state of knowledge about and availability of data pertaining to control of groundwater flow by structural geologic features, especially faults, fracture zones, and structural juxtaposition of aquifer units. The objective of the literature review is to provide initial bases for combined modeling of structural and groundwater system evolution. Significant technical uncertainties exist concerning the relationship between a region of relatively high potentiometric gradient at the north end of Yucca Mountain and the role of faults as potential barriers to local-scale flow (Czarnecki, 1989b; Sinton, 1989). Concern also exists as to the potential for continued fault displacement to create fault-controlled conduits of flow from the region of high gradient (Ahola and Sagar, 1992; Sinton, 1989). Existing analyses and scientific/technical investigations considering structural control of groundwater flow at Yucca Mountain occur in four basic classes: (i) models of flow and transport in natural fracture systems, (ii) local-scale field oriented investigations and models of flow around faults and fault zones, (iii) models of sub-regional flow in the immediate Yucca Mountain area, and (iv) regional scale models of interbasin flow.

  • Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario

    Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario

    White Dogs, Black Bears, and Ghost Gamblers: Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario JAMES B. BANDOW Museum of Ontario Archaeology, University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION Historians and ethnographers have debated the antiquity of the Midewiwin. Entrenched in historical discourse is Hickerson’s (1962, 1970) theory that the Midewiwin was a recent native resistance movement, a socio-evolutionary response to the changing culture patterns resulting from culture contact with Europeans. Other scholars view the Midewiwin as a syncretism, suggesting that a prehistoric component became intertwined with Christian influences that resulted in the ceremonial practices observed by ethnohistorians (Mason 2009; Aldendefer 1993; Dewdney 1975; Landes 1968). Recent critiques, however, provide evidence from material culture studies and center on the largely Western bias inherent in Hickerson’s diffusionist argument surrounding the post-contact origin of the Midewiwin. These arguments note structural similarities observed in birch bark scroll depictions, rock paintings and pictographs with historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, and oral history. These multiple perspectives lead some historians to conclude the practice was a pre-contact phenomenon (e.g., Angel 2002:68; Peers 1994:24; Schenck 1997:102; Kidd 1981:43; Hoffman 1891:260). Archaeological and material culture studies may provide further insight into understanding the origins of the Midewiwin. Oberholtzer’s (2002) recent overview of dog burial practices, for instance, compared prehistoric ritual patterns with the known historical practices and concluded that the increased complexity of the Midewiwin Society is an elaboration of substantive indigenous practices that must predate any European influence. This paper documents the archaeological continuity and syncretism of Mide symbolism observed from the Great Lakes region.
