The provenancing of flint artefacts using palynological techniques
No full textThe provenancing of flint artefacts has proved problematic in the past. Acid maceration to extract age-diagnostic organic-walled microplankton from sedimentary materials is a technique routinely employed in both industrial hydrocarbon exploration and Quaternary studies. Here we assess the application of this technique to provenance determination of flint nodules from three locations (two in southern England and one in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland), each of which has abundant local evidence of flint utilization for artefact manufacture in prehistory. We show that, whilst not all flint nodules yield abundant or well preserved organic-walled microfossils assemblages, there is a significant potential for the use of this technique, which deserves further investigation

Community Development Block Grant: New Federalism in the 70's, to Uncertainty in the 80's; City of Flint, a Case Study
No full textThe Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, provided a challenge to local communities to develop community development programs that would primarily benefit low-and-moderate-income persons in the decaying inner city. Because industrialized communities could not afford to provide scarce local dollars to improve declining neighborhoods, the CDBG Program attempted to take up this void. As the CDBG Program matured, entitlement cities entered an era of uncertainty. Research into the successes, failures, and declining support of the CDGB Program, especially during the Reagan Administration, has given local communities reason to believe that the CDBG Program may be eliminated — leaving, like many other programs for the poor, the priorities of the CDBG Program to compete for funding from state and local tax dollars. The Focus of this paper will be on the review of the CDBG Entitlement Program through discussion of legislative history, research, evaluation, and a case study involving implementation of the CDGB Program and fund allocation in Flint, Michigan. The case study will pay particular attention to implementation of a housing rehabilitation program through the creation of the Flint neighborhood Improvement and Preservation Project, Inc. (Flint HIPP, Inc.), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established as the result of a Mayor's Task Force on Housing.Master of Public AdministrationPublic AdministrationUniversity of Michigan-Flinthttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143492/1/Ragsdale.pd
Lustred flint blades in the epipalaeolithic and neolithic of the near east
No full textTills thesis Is primarily concerned with identifying the change in form and methods of hafting and the evidence for the use of lustred flint blades (sickles) in the Eplpalaeolithic and Heolithic of the near East (Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Anatolia, Iraq and W.Iran) between c 10,000 and 5000 bc, though subsequent developments are also summarized. Chapter I summarizes the history of research and outlines the issues involved. Chapter II is concerned with the environmental and cultural background against which lustred blades are evaluated. Evidence for function is dealt with in Chapter III. Various sources provide information, including contemporary (though rather late) written and iconographic sources, ethnographic parallels, experimental replication and functional analysis of the blades. Chapter IV summarizes the quite considerable body of evidence for hafting and over 70 hafts are described in detail in Appendix II, Chapters V and VI concentrate on the change of form of lustred blades. The methodology of the analysis of the blades is outlined at the beginning of Chapter V and a sample of lustred blades from Jericho is used as a case study. In Chapter VI lustred blades from a number of sites in different environments are considered in detail and discussed against the cultural background outlined in Chapter II. together with contemporary evidence for hafting and function. Chapter VII is a summary of the results and concludes that illustred blades, when considered in a wider context, have a potential importance for the reconstruction of past economies. The Appendices contain a list of the relevant C14 dates, a catalogue of hafts, details of the attributes examined and the type list, as well as a description of lustred blades from selected sites

Being Flint : life and labor in the shrinking city
No full textJournalist and author Gordon Young delivers a talk entitled, "Being Flint: Life and Labor in the Shrinking City." Young relates his home buying experience in San Francisco and doing the same in Flint, Michigan as he became reacquainted with his hometown. Young describes what brought him back to Flint and the writing of his book, "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City." He reflects on Flint's decline and what steps have been taken to rejuvenate the city. A question and answer session follows. Young is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations and the MSU Museum. Held at the MSU Museum
