This chapter addresses questions related to the impacts of Mississippianization on community organization at the Audrey site. It begins with a detailed architectural analysis, and a functional and spatial analysis of pit features from recent excavations. A comparative analysis of patterns from Audrey, Greater Cahokia, and northern hinterland sites is presented to assess whether Audrey villagers maintained a communally oriented, Woodland-era social organization or subscribed to a more hierarchically organized, Cahokian way of life. The Audrey site was a large nucleated Mississippian village with multiple types of structures including elite and special purpose buildings, reflecting a Cahokian architecture of power. Audrey inhabitants also continued to practice lifeways influenced by local Woodland traditions, including hybrid architectural techniques and communal domestic activities.

ABSTRACT We present a comparative analysis of two genome fragments isolated from a diverse and widely distributed group of uncultured euryarchaea from deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The optimal activity and thermostability of a DNA polymerase predicted in one fragment were close to that of the thermophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum, providing evidence for a thermophilic way of life of this group of uncultured archaea.

The study of changes in the social organization of maize preparation provides an important opportunity to examine the integration of households into larger systems of social and economic relationships. Spatial analysis of the distribution of manos and metates at Otumba demonstrates a change in maize production from individual, household based to a more specialized system. It is hypothesized that scarcity of firewood for cooking was a causal factor for this change, but more evidence is needed to test this idea.

Opening Paragraph

Opening ParagraphVirtually all sub-Saharan Africa is in the throes of rapid social and economic change. The recent fashion for meteorological allegories has merely served to stress the fact that these changes are also causing very considerable problems. The dilemma facing most administrations throughout the continent is that while much of the old way of life must inevitably disappear if the tribal groups involved are to hope to survive as viable populations in the modern world, this same process can, if it occurs too fast, threaten the whole social order and the systems of social control and social organization, which have hitherto bound them together as groups and governed the day-to-day lives of their members.

Ambivalent Attitude

The ambivalence for the attraction and repulsion shapes the colonizer and colonized’s duality sense for integrating each other’s way of life. It leads to create a hybridity sense, but this hybridity turns to mimicry. Forster’s A Passage to India portrays this sense through the character analysis. This novel exposes the ambivalent attitude of the Indians and the English to adopt the respective culture as the ruler and the ruled in India leading to hybridity sense. The development of events in the novel also shows some distorted sense in the character’s relationship and individual personality that creates a kind of tension. Chaudhuri, in his travelogue with his colonial experience, shapes his ambivalent attitude to integrate into the English traits. But his real experience with the West confirms his previous knowledge and he adopts his proper sense of hybridity by praising almost everything in western life and by showing the limitation of his country’s way of life. But his presentation in the travelogue makes a question of his stereotyped personality. The article initiates to explore reconciliation in this tension, applying the thesis-antithesis-synthesis technique through the comparative analysis of these two books.

Cultural Features

We are dealing here only with the data from cultural features; our analysis and conclusions cannot be considered final until the information from plant and animal remains and the analysis of cultural items are complete. We have attempted to isolate differences attributable to functional variability in the range of activities represented by the cultural features; we have also attempted to delimit those particular features representing different historical episodes in the occupation of the site. The results of this analysis were the delineation of 4 major discrete occupations to which the vast majority of cultural features could be referred. Each occupation can be structurally defined in terms of its composition in functionally differentiated types of features.We now turn our attention to the analysis of these components as units to be compared in terms of a limited number of attribute classes, each largely dependent upon the taxa resulting from the analysis discussed above. With respect to cultural features, we can compare the components with respect to the following broad attribute classes: 1) form, spatial arrangement, and history of domestic structure; 2) form, spatial arrangement, and history of burials; and 3) form and spatial arrangement of classes of pits.Utilizing these criteria, we shall compare the communities recognized in the hope of arriving at some insights into the settlement systems of the socio-cultural units represented and into the correlated forms of social organization.

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine bestowed on humanity by the great sages of India. Ayurveda lays great emphasis on the concept of health and this is one of its strengths. It is more a way of life and de-scribes methods for promotion and maintenance of positive health. Importance of diet in the promotion of health has been shown by describing various Aahara Varga in different Ayurvedic texts. Harita Varga is one of the 12 Aahara Varga described by Aacharya Charaka. It includes Aahara Dravya (green leafy vegetables, dried fruits and tubers) which are used in daily routine and are very familiar among one and all. Every Dravya mentioned there possess different properties and understanding those properties is very es-sential in present era where everyone is conscious about the diet. Also, for the promotion of health season-al regimen is given prime importance in our Ayurvedic texts. Aahara when used in an appropriate way can be used as a medicine in various diseases. The main objective of this article is to understand the use of Harita Varga Dravya in different seasons and various diseases. An attempt has been made to explain the use of Harita Varga Dravya in different seasons and diseases based on Ayurvedic and Modern pharmacol-ogy.
