AbstractIn view of the demonstrated value of small-scale site replicas to archaeological field training, a full-scale experimental site was constructed and shown to be of value in training personnel in archaeological techniques and in investigating various problems of archaeological field procedure. This site, built on the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California, was excavated by student groups ranging from junior high school through college who had differing amounts of previous field experience. The effect of age and experience on recovery efficiency and depth of interpretation was studied, as well as the reactions of students to excavation of an artificial construct, and in the case of those with no previous experience, to archaeological field work in general.In addition to that section of the site devoted to problems connected with instruction, a section was designed to investigate a series of relatively simple methodological problems. Problems of stratigraphy, seriation, and relationship between size of artifact, soil color and texture, and excavation technique were investigated, with successful results. Such a site has great utility in field instruction, where its superiority over certain natural sites can be demonstrated, and in controlled investigation of various excavation and interpretive techniques. Such a site is relatively easy to construct, and the Santa Barbara laboratory site is now a continuing project.

A review of early trinomial numbers for sites located in Smith County in East Texas indicated that between 1938 and 1943 Jack Hughes identified and collected from at least 37 sites listed on the Texas Historic Site Atlas. From 1938 to 1941 his site locations randomly occur throughout the County; interestingly there are no sites recorded in 1942. In 1943 he recorded about 14 sites along Black Fork Creek and its tributaries, this being mostly west of the City of Tyler. The primary purpose in reviewing the available archaeological information about these early recorded sites was to re-visit selected sites if necessary and to update information that was recorded beginning almost 80 years ago. An entry contained on a Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas (TARL) site card indicated that Hughes collected artifacts from a site (41SM32) located on Little Saline Creek, near the much better known Alligator Pond site (41SM442) that had been recorded in 2011 by Mark Walters. The Alligator Pond site is on property owned by Thacker, a Texas Archeological Stewardship Network member. 41SM32 is a prehistoric archaeological site that was found and recorded in September 1940 by Jack Hughes, who later went on to a career as a professional archaeologist in Texas. The site is on Little Saline Creek, a northward-flowing tributary to the Sabine River about 10 km to the north, in the Post Oak Savannah of East Texas.

The Village

The importance of the archaeological site of Crystal River has been known since at least 1859, but it was excavations in the site’s burial mounds by C.B. Moore in the early twentieth that made the site famous among archaeologists. Later, Ripley Bullen provided additional insight on several of the other mounds and the village at Crystal River, and he and Adelaide Bullen supplied the first account of the nearby site of Roberts Island. Unfortunately, however, the excavations of both Moore and Bullen are underreported, and there has been little work at the sites using modern archaeological methods. Recent work under the auspices of the Crystal River Early Village Archaeological Project rectifies this with research program that combines the analysis of previous collections with minimally invasive new field work. The latter included detailed topographic mapping, coring and shovel testing, geophysical resistivity survey using ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistance, Bayesian modelling, and small-scale test excavations. As a result of these investigations, the sites are among the most thoroughly dated of any Woodland-period sites in eastern North America.

A Cambridge expedition was in Svalbard during late June, July and August 1977 and undertook geological field work concerning late Precambrian/Palaeozoic stratigraphy. One party of the expedition completed a small scale exploration drilling contract for a German industrial concern. Members of the expedition were: W. B. Harland (leader, geologist); C. A. G. Pickton (geologist/driller with Party D); N. J. R. Wright (Party D, geologist); K. Swett and D. Johnson (Party A, geologists from the University of Iowa); M. J. Hambrey and P. Waddams (Party C, geologists); S. R. Larter and B. Bowler (Party D, drillers/geoscientists from the University of Newcastle); J. Gammage, R. Hanks, D. Burkitt, P. Doughty, and G. Thwaites (Party B, boat captains and crews). The activities of the expedition were divided into two phases.

Heavy and frequent rainfall is a serious obstacle to archaeological work on the North Pacific Coast. Exposure to many days and perhaps weeks of rain may impair the health of the field party and will inevitably dampen the morale of individual members. Rain causes delays, makes the midden material soggy and difficult to work, may collapse the trench walls, and brings numerous other major and minor headaches in its wake.Last spring a group of anthropology students from the University of British Columbia, working under my direction at a site in the Vancouver area, tested the practicability of a simple shelter, designed to give adequate protection during wet weather and to admit sufficient light for all operations.

This study aims to investigate of the factors in the emergence of social prejudice student groups. The subjects of this study were student grade junior high school VIII.1 232 Jakarta, consisting of 38 students. They are a group of people on a small scale that represents some ethnic elements. The sampling technique is done by using the technique of sampling convinience. Measuring tool used is a semantic differential scale is an instrument to measure the response of the aspects of affective. The results showed that social prejudices on the subject is at the level of medium and low. In addition, the student social prejudice caused more by prejudices that are more personal and social nature. The emergence of prejudice is caused by cultural differences and the social distance between different ethnic groups.

In response to the editorial call to examine the legacy of 1968 and critical intellectual formations, this short paper maps some of the feminist intellectual practices in and out of the university system around that era. The paper focuses on intellectuality defined via three features: publication, pedagogy, and peer development; in sum, peer transmission of analysis and know-how.  Along the way, we find parallel educational institutions, small scale media production, biopolitical information transmission, and underground support networks. 1968 was a pivotal year for the development of collective intelligence within movements, forged through media ecologies, using academia as a site and resource while not being contained in it. This feminist intellectual production illuminates contemporary feminist mediated intellectuality as part of the “Long ’68.”

Dr. Wolfgang Kbnig and Joachim Peters lecture at the University of Gbttingen, Germany. The paper is the result of research on industrial co-operation between developed and developing countries and is partly based on field work done in the Philippines in 1984. It deals with the impact that business size has on the pattern of development of this country and specially evaluates the role of small-scale firms. Controversial issues boil down to two competing approaches as far as the further promotion of these units is concerned. One approach consists of taking a broad range of selective measures in order to compensate small business for discrimination suffered from macro-economic instruments and to enhance its prospects in this way. The other approach stresses the danger of market distortion and therefore recommends a policy of deregulation in order for market forces to mobilize the potential of small business. Consideration of the pros and cons of these approaches leads, among others, to the conclusion that assistance to institution building is important as long as it is backed by the will to self-help of the small business community in the Philippines.

Number Of Individuals

Archaeological research in Chihuahua, Mexico, is something that has been talked about a great deal recently, but little in the way of field work has been accomplished. During the 1930's there was a spurt in archaeological activities in that area which saw a number of individuals conducting surveys and small scale excavations mainly in the northwestern part of the state. Reports on much of this work, and upon field work accomplished earlier, appeared in this same period. But since that time very little has been accomplished. As more knowledge of the prehistory of southern New Mexico, southeastern Arizona, and central Mexico became available, attention was focused on north central Mexico, including Chihuahua, as a key area in which might be found answers to many existing problems, especially those dealing with Southwestern-Mexican connections. In the period since World War II, J. Charles Kelley has reported upon work in southern Chihuahua in the Rio Conchos drainage, and the University of New Mexico conducted investigations in the Bolson de Mapimi in southwestern Chihuahua. The latter work, however, is unreported.

Anthropology Of Development

Recent work exploring student reactions to the anthropology of development highlights the importance of going beyond simply imparting practical skills, or alternatively delivering content that offers an unrelenting critique (Djohari 2011; Handler 2013). In this paper, I argue that by casting an anthropological eye on the classroom, teachers can provide a learning environment in which students transform into reflective ‘novice’ practitioners equipped for lifelong learning. This involves making explicit the processes of knowledge construction in the classroom, and by extension, the development field. It entails providing the resources through which students can become social beings in the development sector, with attention to expanding the possibilities for the formation of multiple identities.
