Great Basin Bighorn Ceremonialism
In the early 1990s, a bighorn ram skull cap with intact horn cores, set atop a stacked rock cairn, was discovered at the Rose Spring site (CA-INY-372), located on the edge of the Coso Range at the southwestern corner of the Great Basin.

The feature is intriguing since it might represent a prehistoric manifestation associated with Cos…

Forms of Explanation
What makes one explanation better than another? How can we tell when an explanation has really answered our question? In a lively and readable discussion, Garfinkel argues that the key to understanding an explanation is to discover what question is really being answered. He then suggests criteria for a good explanation and goes on to examine some classic explanations in social and natural science. -- Back cover

A New Learning Experience in Teacher Training
The idea was simple. The Oklahoma State University Departments of Education and Foreign Language, the State Department of Education, and the Oklahoma Foreign Language Teachers Association pooled their resources to present a conference on the teaching of foreign language for all prospective foreign language teachers in our state. Conferences for practicing teachers are almost commonplace. However, none of the four sponsors nor any of their represe…
