    Chapter 2 CULTURE HISTORICAL CONTEXT The 2010 investigations at the Ashe Ferry site focused on archaeological components that date to the Late Woodland (ca. A.D. 800–1150) and Mississippian (ca. A.D. 1150–1540) periods, and the vast majority of contexts and assemblages documented at Ashe Ferry are attributable to these components, with the exceptions of one Middle Woodland period feature (a single cached vessel) and two Late Archaic period caches. Radiocarbon assays of samples from discrete contexts at Ashe Ferry indicate a primary span of occupation ca. A.D. 950–1150, with continued or sporadic lower intensity occupation through ca. A.D. 1325. Test units and extensive mechanical stripping of flood overburden and plowzone from the site also yielded collections that included small numbers of Early, Middle, and Late Archaic projectile points, as well as a few diagnostic Middle Woodland period pottery sherds. The following discussion specifically contextualizes the investigations of Late Woodland period and Mississippian period components at the Ashe Ferry site with an overview of the current state of knowledge concerning these archaeological periods in the central Carolina piedmont, with broader reference to this span in the surrounding region. Early Woodland Period The inception of the Woodland period (ca. 3000–1000 B.P.) in the Carolina piedmont is defined by the widespread, ubiquitous use of pottery by human populations who pursued transhumant or semi-transhumant hunter-gatherer strategies refined throughout the preceding Archaic period. This threshold is clearly arbitrary inasmuch as pottery production was commonplace among Late Archaic period societies in the South Carolina coastal plain and along the fall line after 4500 B.P.

    GEOARCHAEOLOGY OF AN ERODED MISSISSIPPIAN MOUND: THE BELMONT NECK SITE (38KE6), WATEREE RIVER VALLEY, SOUTH CAROLINA by HEATHER D. BARTLEY (Under the Direction of DAVID S. LEIGH) ABSTRACT The Belmont Neck site (38KE6) is a small, early Mississippian period platform mound and village site in the Wateree Valley, Kershaw County, South Carolina. The objectives were the following: (1) to determine geomorphology in the study area; (2) to determine the sources of mound fills; and (3) to determine the nature and extent of site formation processes. The objectives were carried out with methodology involving geomorphology, pedology, stratigraphy, and soil micromorphology. Results include the following. Micromorphology can be quite successful for detecting redistributed material from a destroyed mound or other earthwork, and the resulting data is useful for finding the maximum original possible size of a mound. The mound’s maximum original height was 2 m high. The existence of a thin redistributed mound layer, at least 49 m in diameter, was confirmed with micromorphology. The main cause of erosion/destruction/height reduction of the mound is interpreted to be tillage erosion.

  • Zurich Classic Scoring Records
    Zurich Classic of New Orleans Record Book (est. 2017, thru 2019) *2017 & 2018 Format Information: An historic change was made to the format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2017, making the event a two-player team event featuring Foursomes (alternate shot) during the first and third rounds and Four-ball (best ball) during the second and fourth rounds. A change was made at the 2018 Zurich Classic of New Orleans , with the two formats switching rotations. Rounds one and three in the two-player team event featured the Four-ball (best ball) format, while the second and fourth rounds used the Foursomes (alternate shot) format. Since the formation of the PGA TOUR (1968), the Zurich Classic became the first official event to utilize Foursomes as part of a team competition. The 2017 Zurich Classic was the first official PGA TOUR team event in 36 years. Before that, the last official PGA TOUR team event was the 1981 Walt Disney World National Team Championship held at the Magnolia, Palm and Lake Buena Vista courses at Disney. Vance Heafner and Mike Holland won that title. The tournament became an individual stroke-play event in 1982. The Zurich Classic awards FedExCup points and official money and counts as an official victory for the members of the winning team.

  • On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR
    On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR A research paper by Doug Robbins 1 Doug Robbins English Composition II 23 February 2017 Robbins – Lumerit College Composition II – Assignment 2 Since NASCAR was officially incorporated on February 21, 1948, (History.com) drivers have competed on sand, dirt and eventually, asphalt and concrete. The motivation for them was to either win the race or finish as high as you can in the running order. The prize money was the “driving” factor that kept these racers coming to the track. The ability to make enough money, in order to provide food and pay bills, outweighed the driver’s concern for their own safety. Cars crashed and drivers were severely injured or died. That was the chance they were willing to accept every time they climbed into a race car. Still the racing continued to grow and more tracks were built. While technology improved as the years went by, drivers were still getting hurt or killed as a result of on track accidents. The sport experienced multiple tragedies during the first 14 months of the 21st Century. NASCAR went through a period of reflection and reacted. The actions they took, resulted in making racing more safer for the drivers of today, than at any time in its 70 year history. On May 12th, 2000, at the New Hampshire Speedway, a 19 year old budding NASCAR star would lose his life during an (Xfinity) race practice. Adam Petty, the grandson of NASCAR racing legend Richard Petty, crashed his race car into a concrete wall, reportedly at over 130mph, while entering turn three at the speedway.

  • Water Use Rights in the Eastern United States by Jefrey A
    One Glass for Two People: A Case of Water Use Rights in the Eastern United States by Jefrey A. Steinmetz, Department of Biology, Francis Marion University Reed M. Perkins, Department of Environmental Science, Queens University of Charlotte Background on Water Use Rights In the United States, the issue of water use rights is typically considered a matter for western states. For decades, Arizona, Nevada, California, and others have wrestled with conficts arising from multiple interest groups demanding access to a very limited (and unpredictable) amount of water. Legal and policy solutions in the west are typically rooted in a patchwork of centuries-old allocation rulings, most based on the principal “frst in time, f rst in right.” In other words, the f rst user to take the water also acquires the future right to that water. In contrast, the eastern United States, rich in rivers and lakes, is often considered to have plenty of water, and while not immune to water controversies, the region certainly has been less prone to them. As eastern urban populations have continued to grow, however, this has started to change. Without the history and legal precedent so common in the west, civic leaders have struggled to fnd bases for answers. To no one’s surprise, water debates challenge basic ideas of regional identity, economic fairness, and ecological ethics. T is case study focuses on the growing issue of water use rights in the southeastern United States. Te central question is who (if anyone) has a right to use the water in the Catawba-Wateree River.

INTRODUCTION The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has become the largest and most influential motor sports league in the world. Multi-million-dollar contracts for drivers, sponsors, and equipment make an investment into a team a huge financial risk. As a result, many teams are not created or created fairly. Most recently, Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR), which had committed sponsors and employees, was forced to shut down due to the economic costs of running a team.1 In response to this, teams formed the Race Team Alliance (RTA), a non-union association of team owners with a goal of getting more equity in individual teams.2 The RTA, in conjunction with NASCAR, formed a chartering system.
