Amana Cemeteries as Embodiments of Religious and Social Beliefs
Cemeteries in the seven villages of the Amana Colonies (Iowa) differed and continue to differ in many ways from most cemeteries in the Prairie-Plains region and in the United States generally. Amana was settled in the 1850s by German religious separatists, and until 1932 the group practiced community of goods. Their Christian faith emphasized simplicity, equality, lay clergy, order, pacifism, and obedience to divine authority transmitted through …

Discovery-Mode Teaching Using the Electronic Human Relations Area Files for Cross-Cultural Comparison
To promote active, discovery-mode learning, the authors have experimented with the SilverPlatter Cross-Cultural Data Base and the electronic Human Relations Area Files in a variety of courses, from introductory to advanced. These include classes in cultural anthropology, archaeology, and ecological anthropology. The Probability Sample Files of 60 cultures has been used both as the central focus of the class and as a supplementary focus. After des…
Elvino Whetten Pueblo and Its Relationship to Terraces and Nearby Small Structures, Chihuahua, Mexico
Since the late nineteenth century, archaeologists have been aware of extensive terracing in the Sierra Madre Occidental of northern Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico; yet correlations between the hydraulic systems and associated cultural manifestations in the highlands have not been established. Excavation of the Elvino Whetten Pueblo and several small outbuildings, as well as examination of the adjacent terrace system, attempted, first, to resolve th…
The Double Bind and Social Change in Communal Amana
The sectarian Amana Society of Iowa existed for 89 years as a communal enterprise. In 1932, for a combination of reasons, the Society abandoned communalism and reorganized as a joint-stock corporation. The reasons for the change are discussed in terms of double-bind theory. It is argued that all members faced a conflict between the demands of the sect's plan for salvation and the group's economic dependence on external markets. In addition, the e…
Routinization of behavior in a charismatic leader
Processual studies in anthropology can benefit from a consideration of Max Weber's theory of charisma. Two charismatic leaders in the sectarian and formerly communal Amana Society of Iowa have always been regarded by members as possessing different degrees of charisma. A statistical analysis of the inspired revelations of the two leaders reveals that the testimonies of one were highly patterned. The patterning is indicative of the "routinization …
