The problem centered around certain artifact material excavated from the Riggs family plantation called Oaks II. Why did its first owners, Reubin and Mary Riggs, scions of wealthy families and themselves the owners of 17 slaves, live with their seven children in a two-room log house and leave behind cast-off items little distinguishable from the middling farmer? The first part of the research answered this question by proposing a pattern of regional culture for the area with folk principles as leveling devices. The second part of the research uncovered when and how this living pattern was interrupted, for the artifacts, archives, and architecture of the mid-nineteenth century have a different cast and appearance. The analysis used a number of theoretical frameworks. Ideology was explored from approaches of a cognitive or structuralist position. Environmental concerns were analyzed incorporating traditional approaches in cultural ecology. Less common in archaeology is an interest in the individual's role in the process of culture change. That role in the ideological and ecological systems was examined using approaches from the anthropology of decision-making. By combining the ethnohistorical and archaeological analyses, the historical overview and material cultural data provided a basis for the in tra-site comparison between a large, early nineteenth century Ice House feature and a later mid-century Kitchen addition. These features also provided the basis for an inter-site comparison with certain other plantations, especially in the southern coastal areas of the Lower South. The results of the ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence were placed in narrative form. What emerged was a scenario for change along a border area of the Upland South during the mid-nineteenth century, showing how the availability and use of a certain inventory of material artifacts caused and was shaped by the ideologies of folk and national cultures.

  • Chian Relief Pottery and Its Relationship to Chian and East Greek Architectural Terracottas
    CHIAN RELIEF POTTERY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO CHIAN AND EAST GREEK ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTAS (PLATES23, 24) rT HE RELATIONSHIP between the relief decorationof temple entablaturesand relief potteryhas been discussedmany times in the past.1Scholars have suggestedsome pos- sible ways that architecturalreliefs might have affectedthe arrangementof the decoration on relief pottery (i.e., compositionin metopes or in a continuous band2),but for the most part they have focusedon the analogies existing between the moldings of temple simas and the formationof the lip of some Cretan relief pithoi, especially those from Arkades. Fea- tures such as the strongly flaring lip of these pithoi, the decorationof the rim with molded tori or with other patternswhich was currentas early as the first half of the 7th century,and particularlythe ridged protrusionshanging from the lip, frequentlyin the form of the head of a lion, bull, panther, or horse, have led many scholarsto comparethe design of these lips with the similar arrangementof the temple sima and to correlatethe protrusionsand the heads with the water spouts of the sima.3 l Some of the problems set forward here were outlined briefly in Simantoni-Bournias,1987. In the paper which follows, comparisonswith Chian material are limited for the most part to parallels from the realm of East Greek art, since influenceis more likely to come from a culturallyrelated area. I am grateful to Dr. M. E. Caskey, who read a draft of this paper and polished my English. I also wish to express my thanks to the Ephor of Chios-Mytilene, Mrs. A. Archontidou,for facilitatingmy study of the material in the Museum of Chios and kindly giving me permissionto present the perirrhanterionstand from the Attaliotis'plot.

  • A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley
    Ritual, Social Organization, and Monumental Architecture: A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Christopher Langlois 2017 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program May 2017 Abstract Ritual, Social Organization, and Monumental Architecture: A Case Study of Monumental Tombs in the Göksu Valley Christopher Langlois New archaeological material was discovered in 2006 by the Göksu Archaeological Project in an area of Southeastern Turkey known as Rough Cilicia. This thesis documents and explores the material remains from funerary contexts at the sites of Dağpazarı and Topkaya. Architectural analysis of the material from Dağpazarı demonstrates that the remains are of a monumental temple tomb dating to the late second or early third century A.D. Although the remains from Dağpazarı are fragmentary, the evidence is examined to suggest possible architectural reconstructions. The examination of the Topkaya tomb cluster sheds light upon an ornately decorated rock-cut temple façade tomb dating the Roman period. Both sets of tombs are stunning examples of monumental architecture from the Roman period in an area that suffers from a lack of surviving architectural material. In order to understand the variation in monumental tomb forms the relationship between death, burial, and monumental architecture is examined from a functional perspective. The rites of passage are used as a theoretical framework for examining the functional role that monumental architecture plays in the performance of funerary ritual and the formation of social organization in Roman Rough Cilicia.

    Basic Elements of Memorial Design America Monument Builders of North Monument Builders of North America, Inc. 136 South Keowee Street Dayton, OH 45402 (800) 233-4472 | [email protected] Preface JOHN RUSKIN, an English author of the Nineteenth Century and a professor of Fine Arts at Oxford University wrote: "He is the greatest artist who has embodied in the sum of his works the greatest number of ideas." One might paraphrase that to apply to salesmanship, "He is the greatest salesman who has embodied in his work the greatest number of ideas." The greatest objective in becoming a successful salesman is developing the ability to cultivate ideas. This requires intelligent reading, a constant search for materials, and the effective use of these materials to cultivate ideas that will interest the prospective customer. The study of design and art as applied to memorialization is a part of the information needed by a successful salesman. It is often neglected because of the lack of material specifically applicable to the subject. It often requires research through countless pages of books to find a small amount of material on art, design, and symbolism usable in designing or selling a monument. Realizing the need for material on the subject which could be presented in a condensed form and be understandable to the layman, I searched for someone to write the articles. It was only natural for me nto tur to someone who had worked with me in Sales Institutes and other educational programs in the discussion of this subject.

  • South-North Gallery First Floor, 476 Fifth Avenue Carrère & Hastings
    South-North Gallery First floor, 476 Fifth Avenue Carrère & Hastings, 1911 The South-North Gallery runs the length of the building, uninterrupted for 326 feet. This expansive, Franco-Roman style hallway is illuminated by large windows on either end as well as thirteen glass and bronze globe lamps suspended from the ceiling. The lights, like all others in the library, were made by E.F. Cauldwell the premier designer and manufacturer of electric light fixtures and decorative metalwork in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The molded-plaster coffered ceiling of hexagons, octagons, rectangles with rosettes framed with guilloche trim is painted to look like carved wood. The floor is of beige Hauteville marble from France trimmed in Gray Siena marble from Italy. The 20-foot, 3-inch high walls are of rusticated Pentelic marble from Mount Pentelikon outside of Athens, the same milky white marble of the Parthenon. HDC 2013 D. Samuel and Jeane H. Gottesman Exhibition Hall Room 113, 476 Fifth Avenue Carrère & Hastings, 1911 On axis with the main entrance and west of Astor Hall is the Gottesman Exhibition Hall. The grand size of the room, 83 feet 3 inches long, 77 feet wide, 18 feet 10 inch high, is matched by its grand decoration. The hall is dominated by four monumental piers with arched openings, ionic columns on one side and ionic pilasters on the other. The piers and walls are all of Danby/Dorset marble from Vermont. Unlike the painted plaster ceilings resembling carved wood that are in most of the library, this elaborate, paneled ceiling is actually carved wood.
