This book was released on 1981 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [This thesis attempts] to determine if the southern Nevada archaeological record reflects change in the settlement patterns of prehistoric populations. The research involved two steps: first, an analysis of the late prehistoric record, and second, an identification of possible ethnographic analogies relevant to prehistoric settlement patterns ... The research has resulted in first, a systematic organization of the southern Nevada archaeological record and second, a series of directives for future researchers working toward explanation of that record.

Book Synopsis Prehistoric Foraging Strategies in the Piute Valley of Southern Nevada by : Christopher Alan Brosman
Download or read book Prehistoric Foraging Strategies in the Piute Valley of Southern Nevada written by Christopher Alan Brosman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Piute Valley of Southern Nevada is an incredibly diverse but arid zone in the eastern portion of the Mojave Desert. Most of this diversity can be attributed to the elevation shifts ranging from the Colorado River basin to the peaks of the surrounding mountain ranges. These peaks and valleys provide a multitude of resource zones in which prehistoric hunter-gatherers could provision themselves throughout the year. For this thesis I have used archaeological survey, paleo-climate models, life-sciences data and ethnographic research to perform an in-depth land use analysis of prehistoric forager adaptations to this challenging but life-sustaining environment. Recent investigations completed by the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) and the Public Lands Institute (PLI) have provided an abundance of data concerning prehistoric life-ways in this region. Using this research, available literature, and data in respect to the Piute Valley I have tested a model based on general foraging theory for Great Basin populations developed by Roth et al (2006). This model individually analyzed archaeological sites over a vast area based on settlement patterns, resource availability, and climate change throughout the Holocene. I have used Geographical Information Systems (ArcGIS) to synthesize the data and gain a holistic understanding of the land use patterns exhibited in the Piute Valley.

Book Synopsis Linguistic Archaeology by : Alan Philip Gold
Download or read book Linguistic Archaeology written by Alan Philip Gold and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scholars posit contrasting models of the ethnic identity and language/population movements of prehistoric peoples in the southwestern Great Basin and far southern Sierra Nevada. These models favor either in situ cultural development or population replacement. Archaeological data are used to examine past movements of peoples speaking Numic and Tubatulabalic languages and to evaluate the models. Seven archaeological studies in the Kern Plateau and Scodie Mountains areas of the Sierra Nevada are reviewed. In the Kern Plateau interior and the Isabella Basin, evidence favors the hypothesis that the Tubatulabal language and cultural tradition are of long standing. Archaeological sites show continuous, unbroken occupation from the historic era back 2500 years or more. The Sierra Nevada crest and the southwestern Great Basin, in contrast, witnessed significant subsistence-settlement changes at the beginning of the Haiwee Period (ca. A.D. 600). These variations may indicate culturally distinct, sequential populations responding to environmental change. I argue that these shifts reflect distinctive Numic adaptations. Archaeological data support the hypothesis that pre-Numic occupations exhibit cultural continuity from the Newberry Period (1500 B.C.-A.D. 600) into the early Haiwee interval (A.D. 600-1000). Numic expressions show marked continuities from the Haiwee Period (A.D. 600-1300) through the Marana interval (A.D. 1300-1850) and into the historic era. The in-migrating Numic most likely produced simple, scratched style rock drawings and later on, during the historic era, Coso Style paintings. Archaeological data and limited mitochondrial DNA studies are also consistent with the idea that Numic populations eventually replaced or absorbed pre-Numic groups. During the late Haiwee era (A.D. 1000-1300) Numic peoples apparently expanded out of their former heartland and began migrations northward and to the east, dispersing throughout most of the Great Basin."--Abstract
Book Synopsis Tufa Village (Nevada) by : D. Craig Young
Download or read book Tufa Village (Nevada) written by D. Craig Young and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fort Sage Drift Fence is one of the largest pre-Contact rock features known in the Great Basin, and appears to date between 3700 and 1000 cal B.P. When Pendleton and Thomas (1983) first recorded the 2 km long complex, they were impressed by its sheer size and the amount of labor required to build it. This led them to hypothesize that it must have been constructed, maintained, and used by specialized groups associated with a centralized, village-based settlement system--a system that was not recognized in the archaeological record at that time. Their hypothesis turned out to be quite insightful, as subsequent analyses of faunal remains and settlement pattern data have documented the rise of logistical hunting organization linked to higher levels of settlement stability between about 4500 and 1000 cal B.P. throughout much of the Great Basin. Although Pendleton and Thomas' (1983) proposal has been borne out on a general, interregional level, it has never been evaluated with local archaeological data. This monograph remedies this situation through reporting the excavation findings from a nearby, contemporaneous house-pit village site. These findings allow us to place the drift fence within its larger settlement context, and provide additional archaeological support for the original Pendleton-Thomas hypothesis"--Page 5.

Book Synopsis The Historical Archaeology of Virginia from Initial Settlement to the Present by : Clarence R. Geier
Download or read book The Historical Archaeology of Virginia from Initial Settlement to the Present written by Clarence R. Geier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book includes six chapters that cover Virginia history from initial settlement through the 20th century plus one that deals with the important role of underwater archaeology. Written by prominent archaeologists with research experience in their respective topic areas, the chapters consider important issues of Virginia history and consider how the discipline of historic archaeology has addressed them and needs to address them . Changes in research strategy over time are discussed , and recommendations are made concerning the need to recognize the diverse and often differing roles and impacts that characterized the different regions of Virginia over the course of its historic past. Significant issues in Virginia history needing greater study are identified.
