MORTUARY PATTERNS IN WEST-CENTRAL TENNESSEE: CONTEXTUALIZING HISTORIC FIELD DATA FROM NINE MISSISSIPPIAN PERIOD SITES Brooke A. Wamsley 156 pages Middle Mississippian is a both a cultural and temporal (1200 CE – 1400 CE) archaeological context of Midwestern North America. This cultural tradition is associated with mound building, specific art motifs, arguably stratified societies, intensive agriculture, and specific ritual/mortuary practices. Burial sites can be very valuable to archaeologists because of the purposeful interaction between the living and the deceased and reconstruction of cultural elements such as social identity and group membership. While American archaeology continues to be fieldwork-focused, there are a considerable amount of cultural resources housed in museum collections that could provide data for research into pre-Columbian life-ways in North America. -

He was a giant among men, physically and spiritually, believed to have stood at least seven feet in height. A powerful medicine man and chieftain of the Penacook tribe, Passaconeway was elected bashaba (emperor) of a confederation of tribes united to stem an aggressive Mohawk nation. In his twilight years this great man traveled in the Maine-New Hampshire-Massachusetts region where he was revered as the mouthpiece of the Great Spirit by both Native and European folk alike. Tradition stays that Passaconeway was a genius, gifted with magical or divine powers employed in his peacemaking efforts. His true power, however, lay in his ability to kindle the fire of peace and brotherly love in the hearts of all irrespective of race or tribal restrictions. -

Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues
Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues Paris Tsartas University of the Aegean, Michalon 8, 82100 Chios, Greece The paperanalyses two issuesthat have characterised tourism development inGreek insularand coastalareas in theperiod 1970–2000. The firstissue concerns the socioeco- nomic and culturalchanges that have taken place in theseareas and ledto rapid– and usuallyunplanned –tourismdevelopment. The secondissue consists of thepolicies for tourismand tourismdevelopment atlocal,regional and nationallevel. The analysis focuseson therole of thefamily, social mobility issues,the social role of specific groups, and consequencesfor the manners, customs and traditionsof thelocal popula- tion.It also examines the views and reactionsof localcommunities regarding tourism and tourists.There is consideration of thenew productive structuresin theseareas, including thedowngrading of agriculture,the dependence of many economicsectors on tourism,and thelarge increase in multi-activityand theblack economy. Another focusis on thecharacteristics of masstourism, and on therelated problems and criti- cismsof currenttourism policies. These issues contributed to amodel of tourism development thatintegrates the productive, environmental and culturalcharacteristics of eachregion. Finally, the procedures and problemsencountered in sustainabledevel- opment programmes aiming at protecting the environment are considered. Social and Cultural Changes Brought About by Tourism Development in the Period 1970–2000 The analysishere focuseson three mainareas where these changesare observed:sociocultural life, productionand communication. It should be noted thata large proportionof all empirical studies of changesbrought aboutby tourism development in Greece have been of coastal and insular areas. Social and cultural changes in the social structure The mostsignificant of these changesconcern the family andits role in the new ‘urbanised’social structure, social mobility and the choicesof important groups, such as young people and women. -

The Monumental Architecture of Iklaina
The Monumental Architecture of Iklaina Michael B. Cosmopoulos1 Abstract: The excavations of the Athens Archaeological Society at Iklaina have brought to light a major LH settle- ment that is identified with *a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. One of the most striking features of the site is its monumental architecture, which includes at least two large buildings, two paved roads, a paved piazza, and massive built stone drains. The presence of this kind of monumentality outside the traditionally defined ‘palaces’, combined with other markers of advanced socio-political complexity, opens up a number of questions regard- ing the processes of the unification of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. In the present paper I review the relevant archi- tectural and stratigraphic evidence and assess its possible implications for this issue. It is concluded that the emergence of monumental architecture at Iklaina could have been initiated either by the Palace of Nestor following a peaceful annexation of Iklaina in the early Mycenaean period, or by the local Iklaina rulers following a period of continuous growth before a forced annexation in LH IIIB. Keywords: Monumentality, state formation, Mycenaean, Pylos, Iklaina Introduction The excavations at Iklaina are conducted under the auspices of the Archaeological Society at Athens.2 Over the course of nine field seasons we have unearthed a significant part of a LH settle- ment, which can be identified with *a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Mycenaean state of Pylos.3 The site includes three general areas: residential, industrial, and administrative (marked as R, I, and A in Fig. -

A COMPARISON OF SHOVEL TESTING AND SURFACE COLLECTION AS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE DISCOVERY METHODS: A CASE STUDY USING MISSISSIPPIAN FARMSTEADS A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology The University of Mississippi By CAMERON SMITH HOWELL May 2016 Copyright Cameron Smith Howell 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Shovel testing and controlled surface collection are common methods of archaeological site investigation that are generally approved by state and federal agencies as well as the academic community for cultural resource management projects and research. While both techniques are equally utilized, little research has been conducted on how equivalent these techniques are in terms of their efficacy for finding site. This thesis seeks to find a way to compare these techniques by creating Mathematical Models to describe how well the methods behave when tested on known datasets generated from Mississippian period farmsteads. -
Seismic Performance of Rock Block Structures with Observations from the October 2006 Hawaii Earthquake
4th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering June 25-28, 2007 SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF ROCK BLOCK STRUCTURES WITH OBSERVATIONS FROM THE OCTOBER 2006 HAWAII EARTHQUAKE Edmund MEDLEY 1, Dimitrios ZEKKOS 2 ABSTRACT Unreinforced masonry construction using blocks of rock is one of the oldest forms of building, in which blocks are stacked, sometimes being mortared with various cements. Ancient civilizations used locally available rocks and cements to construct rock block columns, walls and edifices for residences, temples, fortifications and infrastructure. Monuments still exist as testaments to the high quality construction by historic cultures, despite the seismic and other potentially damaging geomechanical disturbances that threaten them. Conceptual failure modes under seismic conditions of rock block structures, observed in the field or the laboratory, are presented. A brief review is presented of the damage suffered by the culturally vital Hawaiian Pu’ukoholā and Mailekini Heiaus, rock block temples damaged by the Mw 6.7 and 6.0 earthquakes that shook the island of Hawaii on October 15, 2006. Keywords: rock block structures, Hawaii earthquakes, earthquake observations, geomechanical failures INTRODUCTION Construction of unreinforced masonry is common in various earthquake-prone regions, particularly in developing countries, and rural areas of developed countries. This vulnerable type of construction is susceptible to often devastating damage, as evident from the effects of the 2001 Bhuj, India earthquake (Murty et al. 2002), where 1,200,000 masonry buildings built primarily based on local traditional construction practices, either collapsed or were severely damaged. Buildings constructed with adobe and unreinforced masonry suffered devastating damage in the Bam, Iran 2003 earthquake (Nadim et al.
