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

Effects of the Upper Floridan Aquifer on Water Chemistry and Oxygen Metabolism in the Lower Flint River During Drought
No full textProceedings of the 2003 Georgia Water Resources Conference, held April 23-24, 2003, at the University of Georgia.The lower Flint River in southwestern Georgia flows through the limestone formation of the Upper Floridan aquifer, and large exchanges of water occur through natural spring conduits between the river and the aquifer. Our studies center on how exchanges of river and aquifer water affect these aquatic ecosystems, particularly during periods of drought when both the aquifer and river are heavily stressed due to the combined effects of climatic conditions and human use. Large increases in nitrate and calcium concentrations in the lower Flint River between Albany and Bainbridge are attributed to an increase in the proportion of aquifer water that comes in from springs. Conversely, decreases in phosphate and ammonium result from dilution by groundwater. Measurements of microbial metabolism based on oxygen consumption indicate very low rates of bacterial activity and a strong dependency on bioavailable dissolved organic carbon during drought conditions. Groundwater inputs from the Upper Floridan aquifer play a critical role in maintaining the health of the river and should be sustained to ensure the ecological integrity of the lower Flint River ecosystem
An Analysis of the Implementation of the Chapter 2 Block Grant Program in the Flint School District
No full textThis research paper is a case study of the Chapter 2 block grant which was ushered into law in 1982 by the administration of President Ronald Reagan. The first part of this paper is an exploration of this program and to the study of how organizations respond to changes in the environment. Next we outline the basic approach for this study but which provides a structure for the analysis of Chapter 2 programs and budget data. The final part of the paper is a detailed analysis of the program as implemented in the Flint School District. We conclude with a discussion in very brief fashion of the impact of the chapter 2 program, in light of the structural economic crisis currently experienced by the City of Flint, and by the Flint Public Schools.Master of Public AdministrationPublic AdministrationUniversity of Michigan-Flinthttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143490/1/Quiroz.pd
