Date: Street Address City, State, Zip A CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY AND MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SONOMA LAND TRUSTtS LITTLE BLACK MOUNTAIN PROPERTY Thesis by Leslie E. Smirnoff ABSTRACT PURPOSE OF THESIS: The aims of this thesis are to provide Sonoma Land Trust with a cultural resources management plan that will fit neatly both into any regulatory framework that may become pertinent and with Sonoma Land Trust's mission and future plans for the Little Black Mountain property. Additionally, this document outlines the resources present on the property and discusses potential impacts to them while recommending ways to preserve them. The purpose of a cultural resources inventory and management plan is often in fulfillment of regulatory compliance with the aim of protecting cultural resources. In this case, Sonoma Land Trust is not under any legal mandate to create a plan, but due to a number of known and unexpected cultural resources discoveries on the Little Black Mountain property t the necessity for a management tool that would aid in the preservation of these resources came to light.

  • The Role of Art, Abstract Thincking and Social Relations in the Human Evolution
    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii şi comunicări. Ştiinţele Naturii. Tom. 32, No. 2/2016 ISSN 1454-6914 THE ROLE OF ART, ABSTRACT THINCKING AND SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE HUMAN EVOLUTION CORNEANU Mihaela, CORNEANU C. Gabriel Abstract. Before the appearance of Homo sapiens sapiens, some pre-human genotypes that lived on the Earth, left material evidence concerning different events of their social, behavioural or artistic manifestations. One of the earliest proofs is the use of objects from the environment as primitive tools to extract bone marrow, action probably achieved by a population of Australanthropus olteniensis in Romania (Tetoiu, Bugiuleşti, Oltenia, about 2,000,000 BC). Current studies show that pre-human species originated in the African Rift Valley, which provided optimum benefits to its evolution and diversity. Proto-oceanic environmental quality and diet (rich source of polyunsaturated long fibres) ensured brain development and human evolution. Several pre-human species (Homo habilis, H. naledi, H. erectus, etc.) emerged and lived in this area prior to their migration to other continents. Fire making and use, both for cooking and protection against weather and wildlife, was the essential factor for human evolution. Benefiting from the cooked food, pre-human beings had access to richer food resources, which led to the increase of the skeleton, and, implicitly, of the skull and encephalus. This made possible the development of practical utilities, followed by abstract utilities, such as thinking and intelligence. Sexual dimorphism, the presence of the gene FOX-P2 and the development of language, social and tribal life led to the arrangement of the living spaces, family.

  • Caves and Rockshelters Have Received Little Attention by Archaeologists In
    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html ROCK FEATURES OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Cheryl Claassen Mary Elizabeth Compton Abstract Caves and rock shelters are typically treated as habitation spaces. In this paper we survey the potential for both to have been used in several ritualized ways. One use appears to have been for menstrual and birthing retreats, which were abandoned when a death occurred. Another use is the burial cave. Fauna, burial position, and rock art are some of the clues to ritual use. We will highlight several other landscape features that may have been revered as well. An inventory of recorded caves and shelters is provided. Rock shelters, caves, sinkholes, knobs, bluffs, pools, waterfalls, springs, hot springs, rocks resembling humans, cliff faces, projecting rock, and other rocky or watery forms have been viewed with respect for thousands of years, and people traversing western North Carolina were no exception. Numerous authors and dozens of creation stories have documented Native American concepts of stone people as the earliest inhabitants of this world (Irwin 1994) and as the ultimate form taken by some fleshy humans. They also have documented the living attributes of stone: riverbed rocks sing (Milne 1995), sweat lodge rocks hear (Irwin 1994:175), mountains move (Iroquois origin of false face), crystals contain the soul of priests or can absorb sickness from a patient (Furst 1995:55), and sacred bundle rocks reproduce (Irwin 1994: 224).

  • The Cave Bear in Chauvet Cave ROBERT G
    Cave Art Research 2004 - Volume 4 1 Cave Art Research International Newsletter of the Cave Art Research Association (CARA) Volume 4 2004 The cave bear in Chauvet Cave ROBERT G. BEDNARIK Abstract. This paper reviews briefly the evidence for cultural use of cave bear remains, especially skulls, in central and western Europe, during the time of the European Late Pleistocene Shift (formerly called the Middle/Upper Palaeolithic transition). The new evidence from Chauvet Cave, France, is then examined, the rock art as well as other features in that cave, such as wall and floor markings. The controversy of the dating of the anthropic use of the cave is considered and it is shown that one of the key elements of the site’s relative dating consists of evidence of intentional placement of cave bear remains. This cultural behaviour is typical of a discrete period of European pre-History, being limited to the time from about 40 000 years ago to 30 000 carbon years ago, perhaps especially the late part of this window in time. This as well as many other factors seems to exclude an attribution of the Chauvet cave art to the Magdalenian.
