"This volume reflects the continuing interest and important contributions being made by archaeologists to the study of small lithic sites in the Northeast. The articles in this volume challenge existing notions that these small sites do not produce meaningful data about the past by highlighting the ways in which prehistoric populations exploited the local landscape for settlement purposes. This work has been enhanced by the use of modern analytical, recovery, and archaeometric techniques, which not only have allowed for the reanalysis of older data sets but also have added new information to an already large regional data set. The articles in this volume are grouped around three general themes: Defining and Assessing the Research Potential of Small Lithic Sites, Small Lithic Sites and their Contributions to Local and Regional Settlement Systems, and Managing and Evaluating the National Register Significance of Small Lithic Sites. Small lithic sites dating from the Archaic Period (c. 10,000 B.P.) to European Contact (c. 500 B.P.) are discussed within the volume's chapters."--Publisher's description.
Project area located in town of Wales, Eire County, New York. Stage 2 Site Examination. Survey methods: surface inspection, shovel test pits. One prehistoric site identified, artifacts: chert shatter, chert block, chert flake, glass. No historic sites identified. Recommendations: project will not adversely affect any significant cultural resources. This report includes three maps, one bibliography, two pages of shovel test pit data, artifact catalog, curriculum vita of the field director.
Recommendations: project will not adversely affect any significant cultural resources. This report includes seven maps, one bibliography, five pages of shovel test pit data, artifact catalog, curriculum vitae of the principal investigator and the field director, along with a summary of the background research.
Recommendations: Stage 1B shovel test pits should be at close intervals in areas of predicted high probability, should not exceed 30 meters in areas of predicted medium probability, need not be dug in remainder of project areas.
"This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
