DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson, in his mission to describe Virginia, (more or less unknowingly) writes a small ethnographic chapter on the Native Americans that inhabit his place of interest.

Departing from the political economy perspective taken by the vast majority of volumes devoted to Mesoamerican obsidian, Obsidian Reflections is an examination of obsidian's sociocultural dimensions—particularly in regard to Mesoamerican world view, religion, and belief systems. Exploring the materiality of this volcanic glass rather than only its functionality, this book considers the interplay among people, obsidian, and meaning and how these relationships shaped patterns of procurement,...

This story of Forestville's beginnings and the subsequent arrival of the German colony of settlers in 1873 is drawn from many sources. Not the least of these were the reminiscences and observations of an old friend, Ferdinand Schaff, who is 93 years old at this writing. This account is an attempt to cover the village's most active period of growth, from 1871 to 1885. Fortunately, events of this period were well publicized in one really early county newspaper, The Lexington Jeffersonian.

A number of attempts have been made from time to time to publish so-called Indian recipes. This is not one of them. The writer has never seen a true "recipe" for any ancient Indian dishes, but only descriptions of white foods adapted to Indian tastes, or visa-versa. Basically a recipe should involve careful measurements, leavening, addition of condiments, etc., all strictly according to rule. It is virtually impossible to find any such rules in ancient Indian cookery. Such methods of food...

Results of the many more advanced analyses of prehistoric behavior are omitted for the sake of simplicity, as are the details of the many scholarly debates important in the archaeological literature.
