Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project is for an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generating facility called Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) in Kern County, California.... The project, as proposed, would gasify blends of petroleum coke (25 %) and coal (75%) to produce hydrogen to fuel a combustion turbine operating in combined cycle mode. The gasification component would produce 180 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of hydrogen to feed a 400 megawatt (MW) gross, 288 MW net combined cycle plant providing California with dispatchable baseload power to the grid. The gasification component would also capture approximately 130 MMSCFD of carbon dioxide (or approximately 90 percent at steady-state operation) which would be transported and used for enhanced oil recovery and sequestration (storage) in the Elk Hills Oil Field Unit. The HECA project would also produce approximately 1 million tons of fertilizer for domestic use" --California Energy Commission web site, Docket 08-AFC-8A.

Download or read book Factories in the Field written by Carey McWilliams and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-04-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was the first broad exposé of the social and environmental damage inflicted by the growth of corporate agriculture in California. Factories in the Field—together with the work of Dorothea Lange, Paul Taylor, and John Steinbeck—dramatizes the misery of the dust bowl migrants hoping to find work in California agriculture. McWilliams starts with the scandals of the Spanish land grant purchases, and continues on to examine the experience of the various ethnic groups that have provided labor for California's agricultural industry—Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Filipinos, Armenians—the strikes, and the efforts to organize labor unions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is no longer in print, but is available for download as a free e-book through SWCA, Inc. Mission San Gabriel Arcangél was known as the Pride of the Missions due to its legendary agricultural productivity and its prominence in Southern California as a center of commerce and social interaction during the mission period (1771-1834). This volume, SWCA Anthropological Research Paper No. 11, reports on the first archaeological data recovery undertaken at the mission. Working within the mission's garden area, the study revealed more than 300,000 artifacts and 45 archaeological features, including a large granary, a reservoir complex, and one of the first industrial properties on the West Coast: Chapman's Mill and Millrace. Using archaeological results to critically examine historical narratives, the project examined the economic and social organization of the mission through detailed analyses of the public architecture and everyday materials left behind by Native American residents in the productive heart of the community, including animal bones, plant remains, ceramics, and tools. These studies revealed a dynamic and resilient native population that, despite clear hardships, was well-supplied with domesticated meat and locally gathered plant foods. The architectural remains clearly demonstrate the stepwise process through which a European worldview was molded to the unfamiliar California landscape, where self-taught engineers developed techniques of harnessing water that enabled the population explosion that came to characterize the Los Angeles Basin in succeeding decades. Lavishly illustrated and richly detailed, the volume is a resource for archaeologists, historians, and mission scholars alike.

Download or read book Archaeology at Historic Nance Farm written by Kerry Leigh Boutte and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations at the Historic Nance Farm were undertaken as part of a 2002 University of Texas at Arlington field school. The research design included questions surrounding the rotation of the house, how the material culture changed as a result of the railroad system, and whether historical data can be used to check the archaeological data. As excavations at the Historic Nance Farm were underway, hope that intact nineteenth-century deposits would be revealed were diminished. Although the intrasite stratigraphic integrity was significantly compromised, closer inspection of the artifacts revealed patterns suggesting a narrowly defined period during which the site was first occupied. Recovered artifacts indicate an occupation range slightly later in time than expected, but observation of other available data corroborated the information obtained from the subsurface testing. A conjunctive approach including superstructural analysis, ethnohistoric data, and comparative study of other contemporaneous archaeological sites in the vicinity illustrated that even the most disturbed sites can contribute to the history of a given region. The debate over the privileging of anthropology over history, which was once thought to be central to this thesis, has since been reviewed. There are numerous resources available to the historic archaeologist and an effective analysis of disturbed sites most greatly benefits from the utilization of all of the available data rather than the favoring of one resource over another. It was determined that a conjunctive approach for historical sites, especially those with compromised site integrity, is by far the best course of action. This thesis also raised the issue of perspective when investigating historic archaeological sites. There is difficulty in remaining objective in these endeavors, and this will be explored in this document.

Download or read book The Archaeology of North American Farmsteads written by Mark D. Groover and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early colonial period to the close of World War II, life in North America was predominantly agrarian and rural. Archaeological exploration of farmsteads unveils a surprising quantity of data about rural life, consumption patterns, and migrations across the continent. Mark Groover offers both case studies and an overview of current trends in farmstead archaeology in this exciting new work. He also proposes a research design and makes numerous suggestions for evaluating (and re-evaluating) the significance of farmsteads as an archaeological resource. His chronological survey of farmstead sites throughout numerous regions of North America provides fascinating insights to students, cultural resource management professionals, or general readers interested in learning more about what material culture remains can teach us about the American past. Farmstead archaeology is a rapidly expanding component of historical archaeology. This book offers important lessons and information as more sites become victims of ever-accelerating development and urbanization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, only 7% are archaeological sites. With the Register designed to primarily assess the historical significance of standing sites, archaeologists have had difficulty translating eligibility criteria to sites known primarily from archaeological work. Hardesty and Little provide practical guidance for archaeologists and others on how to examine these properties for their historical significance, both for academic reasons and for proposal to the Register. This useful guide will be helpful for anyone working in a cultural resource management context with recent archaeological sites.
