Lithic technological responses to Late Pleistocene glacial cycling at Pinnacle Point Site 5-6, South Africa
No full textabstract: There are multiple hypotheses for human responses to glacial cycling in the Late Pleistocene, including changes in population size, interconnectedness, and mobility. Lithic technological analysis informs us of human responses to environmental change because lithic assemblage characteristics are a reflection of raw material transport, reduction, and discard behaviors that depend on hunter-gatherer social and economic decisions. Pinnacle Point Site 5–6 (PP5-6), Western Cape, South Africa is an ideal locality for examining the influence of glacial cycling on early modern human behaviors because it preserves a long sequence spanning marine isotope stages (MIS) 5, 4, and 3 and is associated with robust records of paleoenvironmental change. The analysis presented here addresses the question, what, if any, lithic assemblage traits at PP5-6 represent changing behavioral responses to the MIS 5-4-3 interglacial-glacial cycle? It statistically evaluates changes in 93 traits with no a priori assumptions about which traits may significantly associate with MIS. In contrast to other studies that claim that there is little relationship between broad-scale patterns of climate change and lithic technology, we identified the following characteristics that are associated with MIS 4: increased use of quartz, increased evidence for outcrop sources of quartzite and silcrete, increased evidence for earlier stages of reduction in silcrete, evidence for increased flaking efficiency in all raw material types, and changes in tool types and function for silcrete. Based on these results, we suggest that foragers responded to MIS 4 glacial environmental conditions at PP5-6 with increased population or group sizes, ‘place provisioning’, longer and/or more intense site occupations, and decreased residential mobility. Several other traits, including silcrete frequency, do not exhibit an association with MIS. Backed pieces, once they appear in the PP5-6 record during MIS 4, persist through MIS 3. Changing paleoenvironments explain some, but not all temporal technological variability at PP5-6.The article is published at http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.017405
Trip account
No full textTrip account - AMs, 15 pp.
“I am attempting to give you some account of a recent vacation trip which we were privileged to enjoy - Rose, Mother and I…” As the account of the trip to view the eclipse is unsigned, we can’t say for sure but as the author states “Rose, Mother and I” one could logically assume that the author is a sibling of T. Rose Curtis

Program for the Curtis Picture Musicale
No full textPrinted on title page: Edward S. Curtis. Author of "The North American Indian". Music composed by Henry F. Gilbert.
The program for Edward Curtis's "musicale" or "picture-opera" featuring a foreward by Curtis, dissolving slide shows, motion pictures and music. The music was composed by Henry Gilbert and based on the wax cylinder recordings Curtis had made of Native American music with his photographic subjects. This program which toured the country during the winter of 1911-1912 included such productions as "Dream of the Ancient Red Man", and "Evening in Hopi Land".

[Letter] 1859 December 12, Roxberg / George William Curtis.
No full textCurtis thanks the sender for the little book, stating that it makes him wish and hope that the fraternity of good thinking will not be dissolved. An author and an orator who spent two years at the utopian Brook Farm community, Curtis published novels like _Trumps_ [1861] as well as delivering addresses on William Cullen Bryant, Robert Burns, Washington Irving, and James Russell Lowell. He befriended Emerson, edited _Putnam\u27s Monthly_ , actively wrote about New York and national politics in periodicals like _Harper\u27s Magazine_ , and wrote travel narratives
First Ladies. A Conversation with Curtis Sittenfeld.
