  • A Geospatial Analysis of Pre-Columbian Florida Log Boats
    A GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF PRE-COLUMBIAN FLORIDA LOG BOATS A Thesis by RAPHAEL FRANCA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Filipe Castro Committee Members, Cecilia Smith David Carlson Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2017 Major Subject: Maritime Archaeology and Conservation Copyright 2017 Raphael Franca ABSTRACT Log boats or dugout canoes are the earliest known watercraft in the global archaeological record. In pre-Columbian Florida, dugout canoes were used as early as 6,000 years ago. To date, more than 400 log boats have been recorded from archaeological contexts in Florida. Despite their antiquity and clear importance to indigenous populations, variation in their morphology is not well understood. Established typologies of log boat morphology in pre-Columbian Florida are examined here through geo-statistical analyses. Grouping and cluster analyses were implemented within ESRI ArcGIS in order to build a better understanding of variation in log boat size, form, and location of use. Potential relations were created using available characteristics of individual log boat finds and tested using cluster and outlier analyses. Though some correlations were found, characteristic data remains too incomplete for further interpretation. ii DEDICATION Aos meus pais, iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the Florida Division of Historical Resources for allowing me access to their data and to my committee: Filipe Castro, Cecilia Smith, and David Carlson, for their guidance through the process of completing my master’s degree. The work could not have been completed without the unending support from the other students in the department, and special thanks to the OG MS cohort and the Riverside crew for suffering with me.

    Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

(SEARCH) prepared this work plan at the request of Progress Energy Florida (PEF) pursuant to the requirements outlined in two Conditions of Certification (COCs) from the Department of State, Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR). PEF will add 180 circuit miles of transmission lines across multiple counties in Florida in order to maintain reliability and move energy efficiently to customers throughout the region and state, where service demands are anticipated to grow by 25% over the next decade. This technical document provides a cultural resources desktop evaluation and work plan for the Levy Nuclear Plant (LNP) Project, which includes seven preferred rights-of-way (ROW) and three accessory parcels totaling 149 miles of preferred ROW and 246 acres, respectively. The project area extends through portions of eight counties: Levy, Citrus, Marion, Hernando, Sumter, Polk, Hillsborough, and Pinellas. This document includes an overview of the natural environment to identify areas best suited to prehistoric land use, and archival and cartographic research to identify areas of historic settlement.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.
