The analogues discussed provide valuable scientific and technical insight into the functioning of a high-level radioactive waste repository in a semiarid, unsaturated, fractured-rock environment. The analogues presented will have a variety of applications, such as tunnel excavation in fractured unsaturated media, either for transport or storage of materials or energy. As noted in the Introduction, other repository programs throughout the world have been actively involved in identifying natural and anthropogenic analogues. Most of the international programs are considering a repository site in saturated rock, away from oxidizing groundwater, for which numerous analogues exist in roll-front uranium and other types of ore deposits. For a repository in unsaturated rock with oxidizing groundwater conditions, the search for analogues is more challenging. Therefore, this document is a fitting supplement to the excellent compendia on natural analogues that have been published by several national programs and by international organizations, especially the European Commission. Beyond the need for the United States’ high-level radioactive waste respository, society is likely to require the future disposal of wastes from more advanced nuclear fuel cycles, which are currently undergoing research and development. These differing waste streams will bring new challenges and new opportunities for appropriate analogues. This report provides a useful basis for these future needs.

Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools Veerle ROTS Prehistoric Archaeology Unit Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Geo-Institute Celestijnenlaan 200E (Pb: 02409), B-3001 Leuven, Heverlee (Belgique) [email protected] Rots V. 2008. – Hafting and raw materials from animals. Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools. [DVD-ROM]1 . Anthropozoologica 43 (1): 43-66. ABSTRACT Stone tool hafting has been a widely discussed topic, but its identifica- tion on a prehistoric level has long been hampered. Given the organic nature of hafting arrangements, few remains are generally preserved. An overview is presented of animal materials that can be used for haft- ing stone tools, and examples are provided of preserved hafting arrangements made out of animal raw material. Based on the same principles as those determining the formation of use-wear traces on stone tools, it is argued that hafting traces are formed and can be iden- tified. The variables influencing the formation of hafting traces are KEY WORDS discussed. Specific wear patterns and trace attributes are provided for Stone tools, use-wear, different hafting arrangements that use animal raw material. It is hafting, concluded that the provided referential data allow for the identifi- wear pattern, experiments, cation of hafted stone tools on prehistoric sites and the identification animal raw material. of the hafting arrangement used.

GROUND-MAGNETIC STUDIES OF THE AMARGOSA DESERT REGION, CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA Richard J. Blakely, John W. Hillhouse, and Robert L. Morin ABSTRACT High-resolution aeromagnetic surveys of the Amargosa Desert region, California and Nevada, exhibit a diverse array of magnetic anomalies reflecting a wide range of mid- and upper-crustal lithologies. In most cases, these anomalies can be interpreted in terms of exposed rocks and sedimentary deposits. More difficult to explain are linear magnetic anomalies situated over lithologies that typically have very low magnetizations. Aeromagnetic anomalies are observed, for example, over thick sections of Quaternary alluvial deposits and spring deposits associated with past or modern ground-water discharge in Ash Meadows, Pahrump Valley, and Furnace Creek Wash. Such deposits are typically considered nonmagnetic. To help determine the source of these aeromagnetic anomalies, we conducted ground-magnetic studies at five areas: near Death Valley Junction, at Point of Rocks Spring, at Devils Hole, at Fairbanks Spring, and near Travertine Springs. Depth-to-source calculations show that the sources of these anomalies lie within the Tertiary and Quaternary sedimentary section.

  • Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College Version June 20, 2012
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version June 20, 2012 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation. The articles use a variety of measurements. Some useful conversions: 1”=2.54
