This paper will use evidence from archaeological and landscape analyses in order to identify the ways in which these systems of power influenced the 19th century practices that produced the 20th century landscape of Orange County, Virginia.

The Power of Performance: Activism, Public Archaeology, and Heritage Landscapes at the Portland Wharf (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only M. Jay Stottman.

In this paper I will examine the performance of archaeology as a way to create heritage landscapes and achieve activist goals. I will...

The Pre-Ceramic Subsistence Patterns in the Great Plains (1952)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard P. Wheeler.

In this document, Richard P Wheeler synthesizes in chart form knowledge of Early Man – or rather of pre-pottery making men – in the Plains area according to inferable subsistence patterns, in chronological order. On this level of anthropological abstraction, the task was not difficult because of the scarcity of known information. Wheeler’s perspective also includes a brief history of the development of American paleontology.

Prediction of Human Remains Distribution within WWII Bombardment Aircraft Crash Sites (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Owen L O'Leary.

Examination of eight WWII bombardment aircraft loss incidents previously resolved by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has allowed for the creation of a model that predicts where human remains can be expected to be recovered from within a crash scene based upon each crew member’s duty station. This paper details where each individual was found in relation to the aircraft wreckage at the crash sites, including those criteria for a case to be included in the model and how hypotheses...
