Life on the edge: Investigating Maya Hinterland settlements in Northwestern Belize
No full textThe Three Rivers Region of Northwestern Belize was an important area for Classic Maya development. Archaeological sites became known to archaeologists in the 1970s and gained much attention in the early 1990s with the creation of the Programme for Belize Archaeological Project (PfBAP). The PfBAP operates on a 250,000-acre nature preserve, known as the Programme for Belize (PfB). Most of this acreage is covered in semi-deciduous, rugged forest, resulting in unexplored terrain. This precludes exploration of the PfBAP and hinders the understanding of ancient Maya settlement. Thus, settlement studies are particularly difficult to conduct and the relationships between settlements and their environment are not well understood. Though, the Dos Hombres to Gran Cacao Archaeological Project (DH2GC), created by Dr. Marisol Cortes-Rincon of Humboldt State University, is creating a detailed picture of a portion of the PfBAP area by way of interdisciplinary inquiry including archaeology, ecology, and geoarchaeology. The DH2GC is conducting a settlement study along a 12-km transect to map settlement and ecological features between the cities of Dos Hombres and Gran Cacao. This thesis is a complementary project along side the DH2GC. The ultimate goal of the thesis project is to understand the nature of settlement patterning between large site centers. The main focus is on small courtyard groups that appear within the Dos Hombres suburban area. Analysis of these courtyard groups will be through settlement patterning that concerns environmental context, and site-planning planning principles

Textile production tools from Viking age graves in Gotland, Sweden
No full textOver the past several decades, the research and analysis of archaeological textiles has become of ever increasing importance in gender, trade and production studies. When analyzing archaeological textiles, researchers must take into consideration the tools that were required to create textiles and how those tools influenced the quality and quantity of fiber that was needed to create multiple forms of textiles used to clothe a population. In past publications, researchers have focused on the analysis and interpretation of the remains of textiles found on the island of Gotland, but have not included in their studies the tools for the production of these textiles. Some of the tools that will be examined in this thesis include spindle whorls, weaving tablets, needles and needle cases. By examining the tools, found in the Viking Age grave sites excavated on Gotland and collecting data in the form of dimensions, weights and quantity of tools found, an interpretation can be made as to what type of textiles could have been created with these tools. By conducting analysis on the textiles and mineralized impressions, we can compare these to data from the tools and extrapolate whether the tools present could have created the fibers found alongside them in the burials. The analysis of this data can give insight into the various types and quality of textiles produced by the tools from the grave sites and to determine whether textiles could have been produced locally or were traded in. In this thesis, I will examine and analyze the textile tools found in approximately 200 Viking age graves located throughout Gotland in an effort to determine whether the production of textiles is feasible with the tools assembled and the types of textiles that could be produced. Not only can this give us insight into the production and trade of textiles during the Viking age on Gotland, but also how the production and/or trade of textiles influenced the daily lives of the inhabitants and how they affected trade and gender in an ever expanding economy.Thesis (M.A.)--Humboldt State University, Social Sciences: Environment and Community, 201
Social drug consumption in the New River Mining District
No full textThe New River Mining District Project assessed the correlation between socioeconomic grouping and social drug use in a remote mining district of the Trinity Mountains. The New River Mining District of the Trinity Mountains played a significant role in this region's hard rock mining gold rush. Historic accounts like that of William Brewer suggest that social drug use was a central part of Trinity mining culture. Brewer also suggests that Trinity mining culture was unique to the northern Californian region. The New River Mining District is perhaps the best preserved of any Trinity mining district, this is why New River Mining District sites were used as a case study in late 19th century social drug consumption. The projects primary research questions were investigated utilizing modern archaeological methods. These methods included intensified pedestrian survey, subsurface testing, and intuitive data recovery. How did an individual's socioeconomic grouping affect what social drugs they consumed and where they consumed them? Research in the New River Mining District was conducted to answer this research question. It is the intention of this project to provide archaeologists and resource managers a model to identify socioeconomic grouping based on social drug data.Thesis (M.A.)--Humboldt State University, Applied Anthropology, 201
Intra-insular mobility and ancient human adaptations to restricted environments. Case study: strontium isotope analysis and the archaeology of Lanzarote, Canary Islands
No full textProvenience of first Canary Islands populations is still a matter of dispute after a few centuries of enquiry. The amount of material culture exhibiting Classical Mediterranean craftsmanship alludes that the islands must have been populated earlier than previously thought. Several bioarchaeological techniques have shown the intricacies behind Canarian archaeology; methods such as the use of Carbon-14 dating have revealed dispersed chronologies throughout the archipelago. Mitochondrial DNA has shown substantial gene flow inherent in Canary islander, thus making it difficult to pinpoint ancestry through biomolecular studies. Trace element or stable isotope analyses have not yet been fully incorporated in the archaeological toolkit of the archipelago; specifically, the assay of stable isotopes of strontium (87Sr/86Sr) as a measurement to understand population mobility has not been exploited. Archaeology throughout the world is aware of the fruitful results the technique has yielded regarding ancient human and animal mobility. This research project focuses on understanding the viability of documenting the bioavailable ratios of 87Sr/86Sr in Lanzarote Island to tackle questions regarding migration, and the peopling of the Canaries. Knowing the signatures of 87Sr/86Sr in Lanzarote Island today provides a picture of the type of values that can be potentially found in the organic remains of pre-Hispanic insular communities. This study aims to demonstrate the possibility of adding an interdisciplinary method to the archaeological toolbox of the Canary Islands thus helping to augment the knowledge we have today about these extinct societies.Thesis (M.A.)--Humboldt State University, Applied Anthropology, 201
Análise dos impactos no processo decisório com a implementação do sistema de gestão Economic Value Added - EVA: um estudo de caso da Marisol S.A.
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-EconômicoO presente trabalho tem como tema central o estudo de uma das ferramentas que auxilia na geração de informações sobre produtividade, a qual pode auxiliar na avaliação das empresas aumentando o desempenho financeiro das mesmas, denominada Valor Econômico Agregado (Economic Value Added) - EVA®.A implementação de um novo sistema de gestão ocasiona várias mudanças dentro da empresa, as quais podem se refletir na produção, nas vendas, no processo decisório da cadeia de valor completa. E estas mudanças trazem resultados que muitas vezes não são os esperados ou superam as expectativas. Com a implementação desses sistemas há gastos, cortes, mudanças, aprendizagem e, principalmente, desgastes físicos e mentais que muitas vezes não compensam os resultados. Neste estudo propõe-se identificar, as mudanças ocorridas no processo decisório, suas necessidades, seus resultados, suas exigências, ou seja, os impactos com a implementação do EVA® na empresa Marisol S.
