DOCUMENT Full-Text Michelle Hegmon. Margaret C. Nelson. Karen Schollmeyer. Michelle Elliott. Michael Diehl.

The relationships among land use, population, and environment are not simple. Larger populations impact the environment more than do smaller populations, and environmental marginality promotes greater impacts from human action. While these two statements may be correct at a broad scale, the relationships are not linear. We examine the relationships among these variables using data from eleventh- through thirteenth-century villages and hamlets of prehistoric subsistence agriculturalists from the...

Akins_Northern Rio Grande_Paper_Exploring Mortuary Variability in the Northern Rio Grande (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Nancy Akins.

The Pueblo Indians who live in the Northern Rio Grande belong to several distinct linguistic groups and their cultural differences may be reflected in past burial practices.

Thus, the typical level of reporting is...

For example, even though records indicate that Bristol pipemaker Llewellin Evans was working from...
