MURRAY David Browman has produced an invaluable reference work for prac- titioners of contemporary Americanist archaeology who are interested in documenting the largely unrecognized contribution of generations of women to its development. Meticulous examination of the archaeo- logical literature, especially footnotes and acknowledgments, and the archival records of major universities, museums, field school programs, expeditions, and general anthropological archives reveals a complex story of marginalization and professional invisibility, albeit one that will be surprising neither to feminist scholars nor to female archaeologists.

    US Army Corps of Engineers® Los Angeles District LITTLE COLORADO RIVER WINSLOW, ARIZONA FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PROJECT DRAFT INTEGRATED FEASIBILITY REPORT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT May 2016 This page left blank for duplex printing Little Colorado River Winslow, Arizona Flood Risk Management Project Draft Integrated Feasibility Report (Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Statement) Navajo County, Arizona Lead Agency: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (Corps). Abstract: This Draft Integrated Feasibility Report (Draft IFR) evaluates alternatives to reduce the risk of damages and to reduce the life, safety, and health risks caused by flooding of the Little Colorado River (LCR) to the City of Winslow, surrounding community, and public and private infrastructure. The Draft IFR documents the plan formulation and environmental impact analysis conducted by the Corps in close cooperation with Navajo County Flood Control District, the non-Federal sponsor for this study. The LCR at Winslow study area is located in the middle of the LCR Watershed, in and near the City of Winslow in western Navajo County, Arizona. The study area includes the floodplain of the LCR from the Clear Creek confluence downstream (northwest) to the northern end of the existing Winslow Levee. The 49-square-mile study area encompasses the City of Winslow, including the Ruby Wash Diversion Levee, and portions of unincorporated Navajo County. Alternatives include various combinations of structural and non-structural measures such as reconstruction of portions of the existing Winslow Levee and Ruby Wash Diversion Levee, levee setbacks, flood warning system and elevation of residential structures, and river channel conveyance improvements. The IFR evaluates the No Action Alternative and ten action alternatives, Alternatives 1.1, 3.1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, in detail.

He went to the edge of the Arizona mesa and settled down to wait for sunrise. For many years, Sun-Watcher kept track of the seasonal movement of the sun on the horizon. As the sun rose that morning, he saw that it reached the farthest point on its southern journey: the winter solstice arrived. Sun-Watcher returned to the pueblo to announce that it was time for a National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Enduring Awatovi: Uncovering Hopi Life and Work on the Mesa ceremony to summon spirits to bring rain to nourish the village's crops. At the Awatovi pueblo on Antelope Mesa, Hopis celebrated this ceremony for over 500 years. Though Awatovi is no longer occupied, the ceremony continues to set the rhythm for Hopi agriculture. For the Hopis, the movements of the sun, the appearance of the rain, and the growth of crops still depend on the people's correct and active participation in the regular cycle of life. For students of the past, enduring Hopi traditions and American archeological research reveal much about this important place.
