This volume presents the results of two archaeological surveys conducted by Statistical Research for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, in what is known in planning circles as the Rillito Corridor. When Statistical Research began these studies, we quickly realized that the Rillito Corridor was one of the most surveyed areas in southern Arizona. Several comprehensive overviews of the culture history of the area were available, but despite this microscopic attention, no...

This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This ethnographic project investigates the role that artisanal objects and ornamentation play in the constitution of gendered daily practices and ways of life in Oaxaca de Juárez (Mexico). Hand-made textile production is at the center of the social life of several rural Mexican communities. In this plural cultural context, servilletas are ordinary and richly adorned pieces produced by women...

All archaeological work on this project is confined to that portion of the highway below the Mogollon Rim, on Tonto National Forest land and private inholdings. The sites described here were excavated during the Preacher Canyon segment and the Little Green Valley segment of the...

diné bikéyah "The Navajo's Country", is primarily a guide book and gazetteer of the Navajo country and adjacent regions. While but a fraction of the Navajo place names have been listed, those given have been selected as most important and interesting to government employees, students, and travelers. Furthermore, it is hoped that diné bikéyah now using the official Indian Department system of writing the Navajo language, will make it possible to standardize and crystalize into universal spelling...

This study examines changes in the food processing tool kit among the northern Anasazi during the period A.D. 650-900. It is assumed that, during this period, the Anasazi were gradually increasing their use of corn and decreasing their use of nondomesticated or gathered plants. Corresponding changes in the Anasazi tool kit are hypothesized. First, corn grinding tools are expected to have become more efficient, indicating specialization in the corn grinding task, and second, the total food...

As such, it is part of a Dine traditional cultural landscape and is recommended eligible for inclusion on the NRHP as an historic district TCP. Three component landscapes at FWDA that also function as contributing elements to this historic district were...

This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Since 2011, the United States has classified an increasing number of migrants as 'criminal aliens' for the purposes of deportation. Recent studies have illustrated this policy's social toll: chronic insecurity among migrants, suffering among families torn apart, and alienation among those sent to an unfamiliar 'homeland' and as 'criminals' (e.g., Boehm 2016;Coutin 2016;Golash-Boza 2015;Khosravi...

This report provides detailed descriptions of standing, earthen buildings examined in Abruzzo and Calabria, Italy, between 1979 and 2015. The structures date from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries and include former dwellings and small barns. Documentation of these earthen buildings is significant, because they represent examples of a rapidly disappearing cultural resource in Italy. Regional literature reviews and field interviews supplement the study. Finally, there are comparisons of...

The Bureau of Land Management is aware of the evidence for long-term human habitation along Bonita Creek. It has been said that, at times during the last century, Bonita Creek was home to perhaps dozens of families. Details of this period of occupation are, however, wanting. In addition, the town of Safford has been drawing substantial quantities of water from Bonita Creek for many years. How has this history of human use affected the environment of Bonita Creek? To answer this question, the...

Liberal capitalist nation-states find themselves in perpetual crisis due to the structural contradictions of democratic ideals and the enduring social inequalities and violences of race. Neoliberal techniques of governance address these crises by cultivating new modes of personal responsibility and value through state-sanctioned projects of 'caring' for marginalized populations, forming new...

Since the mid-2000's Eritrea's young have been leaving in droves, in numbers as high as 2,000 to 7,000 people monthly.

This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This dissertation explores the ethical self-cultivation of black Muslim youth in Philadelphia. Anthropologist Saba Mahmood describes ethical self-cultivation as a "specific sets of procedures, techniques, and exercises through which highly specific ethical-moral subjects come to be formed" (Mahmood, 2005, p.120). I consider this process as well as how it becomes racialized and gendered in the...
