Still fit for purpose? Reassessing and revising Nato’s core tasks
NATO’s 2010 Strategic Concept established three core tasks for the Alliance: collective defense, crisis management, and cooperative security. While those tasks remain sound, the 2010 Concept reflected a different geopolitical, geostrategic, and security environment from today’s, characterized by renewed conflict with Russia, concerns about China’s strategic and economic ambitions, and new security challenges like hybrid threats and disinformation…
A Pilot Study of Wichita Indian Archeology and Ethnohistory
In 1965 several anthropologists drew up plans for a one-year pilot study of the archeology and ethnohistory of the Wichita Indian tribes. After financial support had been generously provided by the National Science Foundation, the proposed research was carried out. This is a report on the results of that study. The pilot study was designed to: a) obtain a body of field data from the components of the Spanish Fort sites, the largest and best=docum…
Matrix Factorization Techniques for Recommender Systems
As the Netflix Prize competition has demonstrated, matrix factorization models are superior to classic nearest neighbor techniques for producing product recommendations, allowing the incorporation of additional information such as implicit feedback, temporal effects, and confidence levels.
Believe Not Every Spirit
Believe Not Every Spirit is a sprawling, energetic, deeply researched book, one that glides happily to and fro among salacious tidbits and big historiographical assertions, one that addresses twenty-first century feminist concerns while simultaneously embedding itself in Catholic Reformation theological debates. The chronological scope is substantial, starting early in the fifteenth century and ending late in the seventeenth. The geographic range…
My Early Days in the Southern Plains of Oklahoma
During the years from 1938 to 1940, the southern Plains region was merely an area between Arkansas and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Traveling either east or west over Route 66 did not attract my attention or interest, and I had no thoughts of ever working in Oklahoma. In earlier days, however, I had visited the Spiro Mound site, across the state line in Oklahoma near Fort Smith, Arkansas. I made several visits to Spiro during the …
Inventing Adulthoods
Traditionally adulthood and citizenship have been synonymous. Yet adulthood is changing. In this paper we explore how young people's evolving understandings of adulthood may contribute towards an understanding of citizenship within the broader context of increasingly extended and fragmented transitions. The paper draws on a unique qualitative longitudinal data set in which 100 young people, from contrasting social backgrounds in the United Kingdo…

Critical Moments
The 'Inventing Adulthoods' study seeks to document transitions to adulthood reported by over 100 young people living in five contrasting communities in the UK over a five-year period. A principal aim of the study is to identify 'critical moments' in young people's biographies and to explore how these moments are implicated in processes of social inclusion and exclusion. This article reports on an analysis of the first of three rounds of one-to-on…

Caprock Canyonlands Archeology
Archeological investigations at Lake Alan Henry, in Garza and Kent Counties, Texas, between 1987 and 1993 generated much archeological data relevant to interpreting late Holocene human activities. This review goes beyond the project boundary to synthesize the late prehistory and history of the Texas Panhandle Plains, with special emphasis on the north-south band of rugged canyons found along the Caprock Escarpment, herein defined as the Caprock C…

Open Universities
This book challenges the notion that the open university is a recent invention and argues that in Britain there is a long and varied tradition of similar developments, and that there has been a significant 20th century reduction in the openness of universities, particularly in the period from the 1950s to the 1970s. Selected examples of open universities from the 19th and 20th centuries are examined and compared. Particular attention is paid to: …

"Circular Design in "Ceremony
The standard Native American myth pattern uses the hero-quest as a framework in which to establish prototype ceremonial procedures for curing rituals called chantways. Mythic plot embodies reasons for the diverse and intricate procedures and items of ritual and, in addition, involves a detailed description of legendary events which explains rite, properties, and behavior. Thus the mythic narrative (text) itself is figural and symbolic. So, in the…
Evidence of a Fluted Point Tradition in Ecuador
The discovery of fluted points at one site in the Andean Highlands near Quito, Ecuador, suggests that the fluted-point tradition extended into South America. The association of scrapers, knives, and gravers with the fluted points indicates a hunting assemblage which may be related to paleo-Indian horizons of western United States

Trade Materials at Spiro Mound as Indicated by Artifacts
The archaeological site commonly referred to as Spiro is becoming more and more a topic for discussion among Mississippi Valley archaeologists. This developing interest and enthusiasm in the Spiro site has been stimulated in various ways; by examination of artifacts in private collections or in museums, by an increasing reference to Spiro materials in the literature, and through recognition of Spiro as a grandiose example of the so-called 'Southe…

An Early Site in Highland Ecuador
The Scott Site, Le Flore County, Oklahoma
Although considerable archaeological excavation has been conducted throughout eastern Oklahoma during the past fifteen years, it is only recently that attempts have been made to present a chronological framework for the area (Orr, 1946; Krieger, 1946, 1947; Newell and Krieger, 1949; Bell and Baerreis, 1951). Within this framework of prehistory, the latter portions such as those represented by the Gibson and Fulton aspects are probably the best un…

A Copper Plummet from Poverty Point, Louisiana
Upon examination of a series of artifacts found at the Poverty Point site, West Carroll Parish, Louisiana, in the collection of James Durham of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, I noted one plummet made of native copper (Fig. 1). As copper objects are unreported for the Poverty Point site (Haag and Webb 1953), it is worthwhile to note the existence of this specimen.The plummet is made of native copper, probably hammered into shape from a copper nugget. It…

Metamorphoses of Spiritual Autobiography
conversion narratives produced in droves by seventeenthcentury faithful. Professor Tindall argues that the details of Bunyan's conversion could be supplied by a diligent anthologist from autobiographies of other preachers.' There was even a recipe for spiritual autobiography, and a defense of genre published in 1656 by John Beadle, entitled The Journal or Diary of a Thankful Christian. Originality was surely not Bunyan's goal, nor could it be, be…
