Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Landscape of Place' is an interpretation of Princess Point settlement as an expression of the surrounding landscape. Princess Point is a proto-Iroquoian group, who may or may not be direct ancestors of Ontario Iroquois, that occupied southwestern Ontario 'circa' A.D. 500 to 1050. This dissertation defines and models the Princess Point settlement system with emphasis on the relative contributions of activities associated with a period of sedentarisation, social re-organisation, and subsistence change in the form of maize cultivation activities. The research objective of this dissertation uses a substantive evaluation of the Princess Point settlement system through spatial and temporal modelling of the interrelationships between archaeological sites and the environment. The research objective also uses an inferential explanation of the Princess Point settlement system through spatial and temporal modelling of the interrelationships between space and place. The data sources include a cross section of 45 sites from Princess Point, Middle Woodland, and Glen Meyer cultures southwestern Ontario, and 10 random locations in the lower Grand River valley, analysed through geographic, topographic, water, and soil landscapes. Landscape modelling illustrates the relationships between a community and its surroundings. These relationships are presented through the format of a viewshed in this dissertation, suggesting the recreation of a community's perception of their immediate landscape. The landscape approach presents site location preferences as cultural decisions based on both economic needs and socially determined needs. The landscape model, as applied to the Princess Point culture, is used to explain the effectiveness of applying a landscape methodology to prehistoric data sets in southern Ontario. Princess Point site distribution follows a newly evolving pattern, whereby a bounded orientation is repeated at all scales. Discrete clusters consist of naturally bounded communities and oriented towards water resources. Sites with rich, yet restricted, resource zones are in association with immediate access to productive soils, placing a greater emphasis on cultivated resources. The 'Landscape of Place' highlights the fulcrum of the shift from people living in the landscape to people living on the landscape.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the interrelationship between humans and plants within the Princess Point culture. Princess Point is the archaeological cultural context in which a shift from an economy based on foraging to one that incorporated horticulture occurred in what is now southern Ontario. The earliest dates for evidence of corn horticulture in Ontario are from the Princess Point period (ca. 1570 to 970 B.P.). The basis of this study of the Princess Point is to explore the origins of agriculture, together with plant use generally in southern Ontario, and to gain a better understanding of a time when people were changing their subsistence pattern from one based on wild plant resources during the Middle Woodland to one that incorporated crops. Contents: Chapter One: Introduction; Chapter Two: Princess Point; Chapter Three: Plant Evidence: Sampling and Methods; Chapter Four: Identification and Quantification of Plant Remains; Chapter Five: Princess Point Plant Use; Chapter Six: Discussion and Conclusions.

This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making sense of new cultural economies, it is argued, needs consistent attention to the resonances of individual lives. Otherwise, a discussion of cultural economies remains suspended in a detached virtualism (Miller, 2000). The idea of the remaking of geographies and cultural economies remains, necessarily, a consistent search to make the subject dynamic in its resonance with the contemporary world. In recent debates concerning the reframing of the cultural economies of geography, there is an evidence of increasing acknowledgement of the overlooked importance of subjectivities within geographical explanation. This has often been difficult when trying to attend to the large scale apparent dynamics of change. The shift of geographies to focus upon cultural economies combines two profound threads that inform this chapter: the acknowledgement of the breadth and inclusivity of what economies are and the refusal mutually to isolate the cultural and the economic. Thus the economic becomes engaged and even framed in relation to the cultural, and vice versa. Such an appraisal makes more robust the limits of ‘either – or’ claims from these two grounding components of geographical thinking and its representation of the world. These themes are sustained in different ways across the chapters of this book. This chapter seeks to build a critical discourse concerning space, embodied practice and lay knowledge. It does this in order to address the mechanisms through which individuals are engaged in the processes of new cultural economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to thoroughly discuss new directions of thinking in the arena of environmental archaeology and test them by presenting new practical applications. Recent theoretical and epistemological advancement in the field of archaeology calls for a re-definition of the subdiscipline of environmental archaeology and its position within the practise of archaeology. New technological and methodological discoveries in hard sciences and computer applications opened fresh ways for interdisciplinary collaborations thus introducing new branches and specialisations that need now to be accommodated and integrated within the previous status-quo. This edited volume will take the challenge and engage with contemporary international discussions about the role of the discipline within the general framework of archaeology. By drawing upon these debates, the contributors to this volume will rethink what environmental archaeology is and what kind of input the investigation of this kind of materiality has to the reconstruction of human history and sociality.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a broad survey of recent advances in geoarchaeology with particular attention to environmental change. The fourteen chapters include methodologically innovative research, case studies valuable for teaching, and the use of geological techniques to answer archaeological questions from lower Paleolithic hunting to the location of Homer's Ithaca. Geoarchaeology, Climate Change, and Sustainability also includes a major position paper and, unusually, two papers on the management of the geoarchaeological resource. Both the geographical and chronological coverage are broad ranging from the Lower Paleolithic (lower Pleistocene) to the Iron Age (late Holocene), and from rural Iran to urban Manhattan. The research presented here clearly demonstrates the value and practical application of geoarchaeological techniques from sediment-based dating to geographic information systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a conceptual understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning and Machine Learning in the truest sense of the word. It is an earnest endeavor to unravel what is happening at the algorithmic level, to grasp how applications are being built and to show the long adventurous road in the future. An Intuitive Exploration of Artificial Intelligence offers insightful details on how AI works and solves problems in computer vision, natural language understanding, speech understanding, reinforcement learning and synthesis of new content. From the classic problem of recognizing cats and dogs, to building autonomous vehicles, to translating text into another language, to automatically converting speech into text and back to speech, to generating neural art, to playing games, and the author's own experience in building solutions in industry, this book is about explaining how exactly the myriad applications of AI flow out of its immense potential. The book is intended to serve as a textbook for graduate and senior-level undergraduate courses in AI. Moreover, since the book provides a strong geometrical intuition about advanced mathematical foundations of AI, practitioners and researchers will equally benefit from the book.
