Georgia Coast

In the past year through excavations of sites and examination of various collections, there have appeared elements in a late context that do not follow or conform to the archaeological traditions known for Florida up to this time. On the east coast the collections of material excavated by W. J. Winter gave us new data on the late period around St. Augustine and its cultural affiliations to the Georgia coast. This has been named the St. Augustine Period. In the excavation of a Spanish mission site3 in Jefferson County by the Archaeological Survey of the Florida Park Service there appeared elements sufficiently different in time and content to name a new period the Leon-Jefferson.Here follows a discussion and summary of the characteristics of the two periods.

In recent years, not least through tree-ring studies for the Holocene and studies of oxygen isotope ratios in Foramenifera in deep-sea cores for the Pleistocene, both linked with radioactive chronometry, useful and well-dated information has become available for global temperature variations. Yet we seem at present little closer to understanding the climatic influences upon human settlement, or upon such major episodes in human existence as the agricultural revolution or the emergence of pastoral economies. In making reference to the developments in archaeological survey techniques over the past 20 years, and the increasing collaboration with geomorphologists and settlement geographers, I seek to highlight the gap in the chain of argument between data for global climatic parameters and impact on human communities. Where are the phytologists, the ecologists, the crop plant geographers? Where is the necessary focus upon the crucial themes of changing microclimates and changing agricultural productivity for specific species? An attempt is made to define more closely this deficiency.

The Impact

Sarkhej Roza, a fifteenth century complex comprising of the mausoleum, mosque and cascade of natural and man-made lakes, and located in peri-urban Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, is presently a heritage site of national importance under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Originally, the Sarkhej lake was excavated to serve the religious purpose of ablution, recreation and climate conditioning that were quite functional until the late twentieth century before rapid urbanization in the catchment of its adjacent interconnected feeder Makarba lake took place. Unfettered development in the past two decades has encroached the common catchment of Makarba–Sarkhej lake cascade by almost 50 per cent. The then perennial sacred Sarkhej lake is now a drying sewage disposal site. Sarkhej Roza has received considerable attention for conserving built heritage aesthetically in the past. Since it is the duty of all stakeholders including ASI, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, Sarkhej Roza Committee, civil society and communities to work in harmony towards sustaining their natural heritage, this research has undertaken detailed site and stakeholder assessment to understand challenges faced by the lake and its precincts, and derived learnings from the stakeholder’s perspectives on the impact of urbanization on this water heritage. This was done in order to chart out the possibilities of reviving the Markarba–Sarkhej lake cascade before it is too late.

Abstract. Thirty-six borehole temperature–depth profiles were analysed to reconstruct the ground surface temperature history (GSTH) of eastern Tasmania for the past 5 centuries. We used the singular value decomposition method to invert borehole temperatures to produce temperature histories. The quality of borehole data was classified as high or low based on model misfit. The quality of the borehole data was not dependent on topography or land use. Analysis reveals that three to five high-quality borehole temperature–depth profiles were adequate to reconstruct robust paleotemperature records from any area. Average GSTH reconstructed from Tasmanian boreholes shows temperature increases about 1.2 ± 0.2 °C during the past 5 centuries. Reconstructed temperatures were consistent with meteorological records and other proxy records from Tasmania during their period of overlap. Temperature changes were greatest around the north-east coast and decreased towards the centre of Tasmania. The extension of the East Australian Current (EAC) further south and its strengthening around the north-east coast of Tasmania over the past century was considered a prime driver of warmer temperatures observed in north-east Tasmania.

Third Intermediate Period

In the 2013/2014 season, a Polish team from the University of Wrocław started work in the northern part of the Asasif necropolis, near the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. An archaeological survey was carried out on the Asasif slope. Cleaning work and documentation were undertaken of the architecture of four private tombs: MMA 509/TT 312, MMA 512, MMA 513/TT 314 and MMA 514, as well as the archaeological finds thereof. The rock-cut tombs belong to a Middle Kingdom necropolis and were all reused in later times, especially in the Third Intermediate Period and Late Period.

ABSTRACT The establishment of OCTU in St. John's, Newfoundland, was a response to the need of marine oil spill countermeasures training in a cold ocean environment. Increased tanker traffic, intensive exploratory drilling, the discovery of oil on the Grand Banks, and the importance of the Canadian East Coast fishery all emphasized the need for more trained people to operate containment and recovery equipment and to direct countermeasures operations. The training program developed by OCTU and the courses given over the past 2 years are described. It is noted that the joint venture nature of this operation offers a mechanism for communication among the participants and thus a means for advancing the state of the art.

Economic Considerations

There has been a sharp decline in the incidence and extent of dating ordinances in the past decade. Six areas now have dating ordinances compared with 21 in 1957. Per cent of the U. S. population residing in areas where dating of milk is required declined from 15 to 9% from 1957 to 1969. No area has adopted dating regulations since 1957. Furthermore, enforcement of dating regulations is prohibited by state legislation in Illinois, Ohio, Connecticut, and Virginia. Four areas which have retained dating ordinances have increased the time period allowable between time of pasteurization and sale of milk to consumers. Two jurisdictions do not specify a time limitation between pasteurization and sale of milk. Expiration dating is required in New York City, Baltimore and Jefferson County (incl. Birmingham), Ala. Pasteurization dating is required in the State of New Jersey, St. Louis, and Suburban Philadelphia. Adoption of the U. S. Public Health Service Grade “A” Pasteurized Milk Ordinance by many states appears to be the dominant reason for removal of dating ordinances by areas that formerly required dating.

Desde el año 2008 arqueólogos de la Universidad Veracruzana han realizado el estudio sistemático de la costa oriental de Los Tuxtlas, en el sur de Veracruz. Trabajos basados en un recorrido intensivo de superficie han cubierto un área de 250 km2. Gracias a estos estudios, se ha identificado evidencias de ocupación prehispánica, pautas de multiculturalidad y patrones de asentamiento distintivos en la región que se relacionan al desarrollo de un sistema portuario marítimo durante el periodo Clásico (300-1000 dC). Se hace un recuento de los métodos y técnicas utilizadas, así como de los resultados que se tienen hasta el momento. ARCHEOLOGY OF WATER AND MOUNTAINS:LANDSCAPE AND SETTLEMENT PATTERN ON THE EAST COAST OF THE TUXTLAS ABSTRACTSince 2008, archaeologists from the Universidad Veracruzana have carried out a systematic study of the eastern coast of Los Tuxtlas, in southern Veracruz. Investigations based on an archaeological survey have covered an area of 250 sq km. Thanks to these studies, evidence of prehispanic occupation, patterns of multiculturalism, and distinctive settlement patterns has been identified in the region that is related to the development of a maritime port system during the Classic period (300-1000 AD). This paper provides a description of the methods and techniques used in these investigations as well as the results that are available up to the present.Keywords: Los Tuxtlas; Prehispanic Ports; Settlement Pattern.

Understanding outdoor recreation participation and national park visitation by members of ethnic minority groups has been a particular focus of outdoor recreation researchers for the past twenty years. Attracting ethnic minorities, and understanding their recreation needs and interests, demands a multi-faceted approach and sustained commitment not only by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) but by other resource management agencies as well.
