The “Last” Canaanean Blades
A new study of materials recovered from the British Museum excavations at Khirbet Um al-Ghozlan in Jordan offers new insights into the production and use of Canaanean blades during the Early Bronze Age IV (EB IV) period in the southern Levant. The specialized purpose of the site, which was probably occupied seasonally for the annual production and temporary storage of olive oil, presents a unique window to observe changes in the Canaanean blade s…
Shattered glass of Beirut
The Archaeological Museum at the American University of Beirut (AUB) lies approximately 3 km west of the main port of Beirut, the site of the massive explosion that sent a catastrophic shockwave through the city on 4 August 2020. A display case containing Classical and early Islamic period glass vessels was smashed against the museum’s stone floor, shattering 72 vessels into thousands of shards. This paper overviews how the Archaeological Museum …
Covid-19 attributed Changes of Home and Family Responsibilities among Single Mothers
Lockdown measures during COVID-19 have presented increased challenges in the home and family responsibilities. Single mothers may face unique challenges as they may be isolated from external family supports. Changes on a 19-item home and family work role survey pre- and post-COVID were tested with a paired t-test and sign test; the impact of age and people in the home was assessed using linear regression. There was a significant increase (p < 0.0…

Green grabs and biochar
Biochar currently attracts technological and market optimism, promising multiple winsfor climate change, food security, bioenergy and healthnot least for African farmers.This paper examines the political-economic and discursive processes constructing biochar as a novel green commodity, creating new alliances amongst scientists, businesses, venture capital firms and non-governmental organisations.Carbon market logics are not only threatening large…
Soil Knowledge
This entry argues for a renewed anthropological engagement with local soil knowledge against a backdrop of industrial agriculture in crisis. It discusses the idea that one example of local soil knowledge, anthropogenic dark earths (ADE), could be a potential solution to this crisis. It argues that, while there is merit in this argument, ADE should be conceived of as a form of “limited good” and so cannot be simply scaled up under our current “unl…
Disrupting the order of things
The privatization of neighborhood governance and the production of urban space
A pivotal innovation in the production of urban space has been the rise of privately governed neighborhoods overseen by homeowners associations (HOAs). One in every five American households resides in an HOA neighborhood regulated by conditions, covenants, and restrictions amounting to what has been referred to as a "quiet revolution" of urban politics. Their proliferation across cities warrants greater attention as they signify the transformatio…
The Imagined Self-Sufficient Communities of Hope VI
The physical redevelopment of Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE VI) communities has been accompanied by efforts to remake the people who live in them. Through a variety of community and supportive services (CSS) programs, residents are offered job training, homeownership classes, and support to develop savings accounts with the goal of moving them toward fuller participation in the private housing market. By examining how CSS have…
Reframing 'Crisis' in Fair Trade Coffee Production
A focus on crisis provides a methodological window to understand how agrarian change shapes producer engagement in fair trade. This orientation challenges a separation between the market and development, situating fair trade within global processes that incorporate agrarian histories of social change and conflict. Reframing crisis as a condition of agrarian life, rather than emphasizing its cyclical manifestation within the global economy, reveal…
Green grabs and biochar
Biochar currently attracts technological and market optimism, promising multiple wins - for climate change, food security, bioenergy and health - not least for African farmers. This paper examines the political-economic and discursive processes constructing biochar as a novel green commodity, creating new alliances amongst scientists, businesses, venture capital firms and non-governmental organisations. Carbon market logics are not only threateni…
Anthropogenic soils in the Central Amazon
Amazonian Dark Earths (ADE), one of the best-known examples of anthropogenic (man-made) soils, are the result of Amerindian settlements in the pre-Columbian period. ADE are highly variable in terms of their size, shape, depth and physical and chemical make-up. Scholars tend to divide ADE into two categories: terra preta and terra mulata. The former are dark and highly fertile soils replete with ceramic shards, indicating former areas of habitatio…

Can Mixed-Income Housing Ameliorate Concentrated Poverty? The Significance of a Geographically Informed Sense of Community
Since the 1990s, public policymakers have renewed support for mixed-income housing development in low-income neighborhoods as a means toward neighborhood revitalization and poverty amelioration. Research to date finds that, while mixed-income developments in lower-income neighborhoods have promoted area revitalization, they have accomplished less for people in these areas who live in poverty. This article focuses on mixed-income projects that see…

An Examination of Support or Non-Support for Affirmative Action, Race-Targeted and Income-Targeted Policies
Many quantitative studies attempt to identify the causes of public support in America for race-targeted, income-targeted, and affirmative action programs. But results are mixed and the theorized predictors of income-targeting support in particular are rather anemic in their predictive power. We identify several possible conceptual and methodological shortcomings in the literature, and provide an alternative examination based on quantitative and q…
The Interpretive Repertoires of Whites on Race-Targeted Policies
Drawing on the accounts of white men and women, we examine the role that discourse plays in the formation and reinforcement of ideals that perpetuate social disadvantaging. In addition, using discourse analysis we examine the redefinition of race-targeting policies from being a social remedy into being a current social problem. We collected interview and questionnaire data from a sample of 310 students and faculty at a predominantly white univers…
Job Satisfaction in Higher Education
The concept of job satisfaction has been central to the study of occupations. However, the impact of gender on job satisfaction in professional settings is still under-represented as an area of inquiry. We use the notion of job satisfaction to introduce our organizational heterogenesis approach to understanding workplace satisfaction. Central to this approach is a concern with constructs of organizational interaction which combine the individuali…
A Research Note on Post-Dating Relationships
This is an exploratory, descriptive study of relationship redefinition. Using symbolic interaction theory, this paper examines the contours of post-dating relationships, asking the following questions: 1) how do people orient themselves to one another after a dating reltaionship ends?; and, 2) what is the power dynamic between one's social network and his or her post-dating relationship? Using a snowball sample (N = 30), interview data are analyz…

Developing Definitions of an Adoptee-Birthmother Reunion Relationship
The phenomena of adoptee-birthparent reunion has recently become of interest to psychologists, social workers, and sociologists. This paper looks at one adoptee-birthmother reunion through a symbolic interactionist lens in order to understand the developmental phases that the participants experience. The direction of such reunion relationships is affected by the lack of pre-existing definitions, such as “friendship” or “family,” to guide these in…
Methadone Clinic Culture
The purpose of this article is to explore the ways in which clinic practices create obstacles for women who seek drug treatment. On the basis of interviews and participant observation at a methadone clinic, this article uncovers issues that women negotiate with their status as methadone clients. Being a woman and being a methadone client, from a feminist perspective, interact in our society to provide various meanings for women. Accounts from fem…

Descriptive Notes on the Stone Circles of Strathnairn and Neighbourhood of Inverness, with Plans, &c
Stone circles (locally known as " Druidical circles") are found in various states of preservation, from the lower end of Stratlmairn to a point twenty-five miles up the river. There are, or rather, there were, twenty-five of these circles within the drainage area of the River Nairn, and twelve or fourteen between the western watershed of the Nairn and the Kiver Ness
Identification of Petitot's Riviere La Ronciere-le Noury
Contains a study of explorations in the Horton and Hornaday River regions of northern Mackenzie District. Evidence is presented to suggest that the river discovered and mapped (excepting lower reaches) by the Oblate missionary Emile Petitot in 1868 is identical with the Hornaday. The latter, discovered by A.J. Stone in 1900 was explored only near its effluence into Darnley Bay. Recent mapping from aerial photographs show the source of the Hornada…
The Rediscovery of Petitot's Riviere La Ronciere‐le Noury
The country between Great Bear Lake and the Arctic coast is drained by three long rivers, the Anderson, the Horton and the Hornaday. A map published in 1875 by Father Emile Petitot showed a river called La Roncière‐Le Noury, and its existence was doubted by later explorers. These doubts were based on the fact that no large river entered the sea where Petitot had marked it on the map. Evidence was advanced to support the opinion that the Roncière …
