This' is in the land of the big where wheat, good farming and a reasonable measure of luck with the weather have placed that section on the highest level of prosperity since wartimes. This huge crop goes well over the borders of the state, into Oklahoma and Colorado-the folks who are working on the extension of the Manter branch of the Santa Fe to Joycoy, Colo., are seeing some real grain these days. A great development has taken place in this part of Kansas in the last -10 or 12 years=-slnce the Elkhart branch of the Santa Fe was built. There has been a change-from the big cattle ranches to the fields of open wheat, raised by the use of big and a machinery, system of wholesale production which has been mighty from the helpful standpoint of profits. But even more credit is due to the faith and pep of the people there, who believe in Southwestern and in ' Kansas, its ultimate destiny as a dominant unit in agricultural Kansas. In this section one can see "big farming" at its best-and a maximum use of In power. many communities 75 per cent of the wheat will be cut this year with combines, pulled by tractors, and the wheat will be hauled to the elevators in trucks, over roads which are smooth, and quite generally free from the hills and ravines so common farther east.

Par définition un cenote contient de l'eau car il donne regard sur la nappe aquifère régionale. À la différence des gouffres et autres dolines d'effondrement, les cenotes ne donnent pas passage à des conduits vadoses. Cependant il peut arriver qu'en fonction des fluctuations du toit de la nappe, ils soient momentanément asséchés. 2 Ce terme est plus précis que le vague "sinkhole" de la littérature anglo-saxonne, aussi a-t-il été utilisé relativement tôt dans la littérature et dans toutes les parties du monde : Floride (Thornbury, 1954 ; Stringfield et Le Grand, 1966) ; Bohême (Pohl, 1955) ; Nouveau Mexique (Sweeting, 1972 ) ; Canada (Brook et Ford, 1974) ; Sud-Ouest africain, Rhodésie, Transvaal (Marker, 1976) ; Madagascar (Battistini, 1964 ; Salomon, 1986), Nouvelle-Calédonie (Thomas, 1987) ; Australie (Sexton, 1965 ; Fairbridge, 1968) ; les îles Trobriand, de Nouvelle-Guinée (Ollier, 1975), etc.

A. in Anthropology (specialty in Archaeology) A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Historical and European Studies Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences La Trobe University Bundoora, Victoria 3086 Australia December 2011 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people I need to thank, and without whom, I would not have concluded my PhD dissertation. Firstly, I acknowledge all the wonderful people I met at La Trobe University (LTU) in Melbourne. Many thanks go first of all to my supervisor, Dr Richard Cosgrove, for his direction, comments and support which have made this a better piece or work. Dr Cosgrove was always available and kept his door open to me for a discussion regarding my research or a chat about personal matters. His support throughout my studies was of immense value. I also would like to thank him for giving me the opportunity of teaching Zooarchaeology at LTU during Semester 2, 2011. I thank Prof. Peter Mathews for all his support, from my application to the PhD program, to his comments on the Maya culture that resulted in a better understanding of this wonderful culture. His friendship and footy talks over many coffees made my days at uni more enjoyable. I would also like to acknowledge Dr Colin Smith, ARC Future Fellow, for his comments on an earlier draft version of the isotopes chapters.

So much so that it was all a bit of a blur to me especially as I was not at all well. The next day we visited the Twelve Apostles (or whatever number were standing that week), Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge and so on. This is one part of Australia that I had not visited before so I was impressed by this important part of Australia’s limestone heritage, as were our visitors.
