  • Parasites and Skeletal Indicators of Anemia in the Eastern United States
    Parasites and skeletal indicators of anemia in the eastern United States Item Type Thesis Authors Dinneen, Erin Download date 06/10/2021 02:28:21 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4801 ii PARASITES AND SKELETAL INDICATORS OF ANEMIA IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Erin E. Dinneen, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska Title Page December 2014 iii Abstract The goal of this research is to examine the influence of parasitic infection and diet in the etiology of anemia in prehistoric human populations of the eastern United States. Prehistorically, anemia is often attributed to a nutrient-deficient diet, while parasite infection is discussed as a secondary cause if at all. However, parasite infection is a leading cause of anemia in the developing world today. Modern epidemiological studies have demonstrated that parasites thrive or perish under particular environmental conditions, and risk for parasite infection can be predicted based on environment using GIS. Here I apply this method to see whether environmental conditions, acting as a proxy for parasite infection risk, can predict prehistoric skeletal lesion rates for porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia, lesions thought to reflect acquired anemia. Rates of porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia in the skeletal remains of children and adults were collected from published data for 22 sites in the eastern United States. GIS was used to gather comparable environmental data. Soil drainage, elevation, precipitation, temperature and the surface area of bodies of water were recorded within a 15 km radius of each site.

Two early editions were published by the Arkansas Archeological Survey (Perttula et al. 1999, 2006), while a third edition (Perttula et al. 2011) was posted on the Caddo Conference Organization (www.caddoconference.org) website. A fourth edition was published by the Friends of Northeast Texas Archaeology (Perttula et al. 2013), and a fifth and now hopelessly outdated edition was published by the Journal of Texas Archeology and History in 2014.

Pace VERTEBRATE REMAINS FROM ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OF ALABAMA FrederickS. Barkalow, Jr. N.C. State University FOREWORD The productive capacity of primitive man's environment and the degree of success with which he extracted the necessities oflife from his surroundings not only determined his survival but influenced his cultural development as well. Through a study of his art, structures, burials, and artifacts we may trace the development of his culture and by piecing together this evidence, often fragmentary, we' may infer the manner in which primitive man met the challenge of his environment. It is in the animal and plant remains in his village sites and middens that we may expect to find the most valuable key to the nature of the environmental conditions themselves. The tether which bound the hunting and gathering cultures to their basic food resources was short indeed, for these people took what was available, consumed it on the spot or nearby, and discarded the unconsumed portion. This unwitting legacy from aboriginal man can provide us with both an insight into his activities and food habits, and an excellent knowledge of his local contemporary faunas. The record is there for the reading--- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer is indebted to many people and institutions for help and support in the preparation of this report.

  • Getting to the Point: a Reply to Bradbury Et Al
    52 Getting To The Point: A Reply to Bradbury et al. David Pollack, C. Martin Raymer, Donald A. Miller, Jimmy A. Railey, and A. Gwynn Henderson Abstract This paper is a response to Bradbury et al.’s critique of the currently used Fort Ancient fine triangular projectile point typology. Drawing on the variation in projectile point morphology they observed at the Early Fort Ancient Elk Fork site in Morgan County, Kentucky, Bradbury et al. concluded that the typology should be abandoned in favor of an attribute approach. We agree with Bradbury et al. that researchers need to determine the extent to which variation in triangular point morphology is related to temporal trends, tool function, or style. However, we disagree that the existing typology cannot be used to address these issues. We have found it to be a good research tool and argue that it should be retained, as we illustrate by a consideration of the regional Fort Ancient database. Introduction In a recent paper in this journal, Bradbury et Updike 1996). They have documented a longer al.
