    TKPOA Corporation Yard Relocation Project Susan Lindström, Ph.D. May 2018 7 Consulting Archaeologist (2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant. (3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has also adopted procedures (stated in Chapter 67 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances) for the identification, recognition, protection, and preservation of the region’s significant cultural, historical, archaeological, and paleontological resources. Sections 67.3.2, 67.4 and 67.5 require a site survey by a qualified archaeologist, an inventory of any extant cultural resources, and consultation with the appropriate Native American group. Provisions for a report documenting compliance with the TRPA Code are contained in Section 67.7. Within this regulatory context, cultural resource studies are customarily performed in a series of phases, each one building upon information gained from the prior study.

In these places, corpses desiccated and spontaneously mummified. In North America, mummies are recovered from four main regions: the south­ ern and southwestern United States, the Aleutian Islands, and the Ozark Mountains ofArkansas.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

  • Central California Native Americans
    Central California Native Americans By: Janessa Boom, Matthew Navarrette, Angel Villa, Michael Ruiz, Alejandro Montiel, Jessica Jauregui, Nicholas Hardyman Settlement Patterns Central California was a densely populated cultural area with vast amounts of natural resources at hand. Taking advantage of central California’s various ecotones, the people exploited a plethora of resources using their ingenious technological and cultural expertise. As a general rule of thumb, the various tribes of central California organized themselves according to the availability of resources, i.e., if resources were found to be more densely packed within a given tribal area, one could expect to find a direct correlation in the tribe’s settlement pattern. A. Washoe Tribe- Located in the eastern part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Washoe Tribal settlements could typically be found 4-5,000 ft above the resource-rich Carson and Truckee river systems. Utilizing their short distance from the water, the Washoe tribe always had an abundant amount of food due to hunting both the fish swimming in the river, and the large game that came to the water to drink. B. Nisenan Tribe- Much like their Washoe neighbors in the east, the Nisenan Tribe prefered to live above rivers that stemmed from the Sierra Nevada Mountain range (Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers). Despite their similarities to the Washoe, the Nisenan also inhabited the valleys just north of Sacramento. While communities living above rivers tended to small, those located in the central valley could have as many as 500 inhabitants. C. Yana Tribe- While both the Nisenan and Washoe tribes utilized river systems within their tribal areas, the Yana lacked such large rivers.

Abstract Hernandez, Sarah Raquel (Ph.D., English) Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism Thesis Directed by Professor Penelope Kelsey Dakota literature is often regarded as an extinct and thus irrelevant oral storytelling tradition by EuroAmerican, and at times, Dakota people. This dissertation disputes this dominant view and instead argues that the Dakota oral storytelling tradition is not extinct, but rather has been reimagined in a more modern form as print literature. In this dissertation, I reconstruct a genealogy of the Dakota literary tradition that focuses primarily (but not exclusively) upon the literary history of the Santee Dakota from 1836 to present by analyzing archival documents – Dakota orthographies, Dakota mythologies, and personal and professional correspondences – to better understand how this tradition has evolved from an oral to a written form.
