The Flâneur, the Collector, and the Gambler
Walter Benjamin’s three types, the flâneur, the Collector and the Gambler were proposed as observers or players in his Arcades Project for 1920s Paris. They were engaged in a kind of ‘tourism’ that enjoyed the luxury of shopping corridors in the iron-girded structures of the ‘modern’ Paris landscape of that era. It was a transformative time in European history, as is the current decade. World Heritage is at the centre of how we view landscapes an…
A Comparison of Early-European Settlement and Present-Day Species Mingling Patterns in the Eastern Deciduous Forest, USA
Environmental History of an Early Spanish Settlement in the Visayas, Philippines
The Jesuit House was built in 1730 on land reclaimed from the Tinago Marsh at the edge of the early Spanish settlement of Cebu City, Philippines, two centuries after it was first encountered by the Spanish explorer Magellan. As the city expanded from its core areas ca. 1565 around Fort San Pedro, Plaza Independencia, and the sites of Santo Nino Church and the Cebu Cathedral, waterways were drained and filled, and canals were dredged to extend the…
The Short History of the Ifugao Rice Terraces
Establishing the construction sequence of agricultural terraces is extremely complicated due to the nature of their technological foundation and use. A number of methodological approaches have been developed to address this difficulty, such as bulk soil 14C dating, Optically-Stimulated Luminescence (OSL), sediment grain size, or a combination of these, but a fundamental problem of stratigraphic disturbance still exists. In this article, we utiliz…
Plant Microfossil Results from Old Kiyyangan Village
Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810–750 cal. b.p. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal.…

Spanish Colonial History and Archaeology in the Mariana Islands
Landscape Evolution in Cebu, Central Philippines
Landscape formation is often discontinuous and punctuated by rapid change, and cultural landscapes may be fragmented and found in chronological and spatial mosaics rather than continuous progressions. Human occupation of the Carcar area of the central Philippines is discussed relative to these effects. Pleistocene evolution of landscapes in Cebu is a complex array of uplifted fossil coral reef platforms that form the lower benches of the central …
Radiocarbon Dating of Algal Bioclasts in Beach Sites of Guam
Direct radiocarbon dating of algal bioclasts of Halimeda sp. demonstrates accurate age estimates in relation to archaeological layers in three beach sites of Guam in the western Pacific region. These case studies illustrate the technical requirement of identifying intact (non-eroded) bioclasts for dating, as well as the methodological parameters for interpreting the relationship between depositional context of these bioclasts in relation to the a…
Household economy and gendered labor in the 17th centurya.d. on Guam
The gendered division of labor in household economies is well known in documentary accounts of many societies, although archaeological evidence for it is often elusive. Our study compares ethnohistorical accounts of household organization with archaeological patterns at a 17th-century village on the island of Guam in the Marianas archipelago to determine if these different sources of evidence provide similar insights. We investigated archaeologic…
Calcrete formation and implications for buried archaeological deposits in the Mariana Islands, western Pacific
Calcrete zones of cemented sands are found repeatedly at beach sites in the Mariana Islands, western Pacific region, with mid‐ to late‐Holocene artifacts and midden sealed within and beneath these layers. Three site‐specific cases demonstrate that the cementation process of the calcareous sand material post‐dated the deposition of artifacts and midden. Archaeological efforts must be prepared for deep excavation through zones of cemented sand. Als…

Hospital Outpatient Services and Medicaid Patients?? Access to Care
This article examines the relationship between the use of hospital outpatient services by Medicaid patients, Medicaid physician fees, and the use of office-based physician services. Past research has indicated that the use of outpatient facilities by Medicaid patients substitutes for care by private physicians and might be reduced by raising physician fees, but these studies may be estimated at too high a level of geographic aggregation and inclu…
Physician Supply and Medicaid Participation
This paper offers an explanation for the counterintuitive relationship between physician competition and Medicaid participation found by many investigators. Contrary to standard predictions, a number of studies have found strong negative relationships between the supply of physicians and Medicaid participation and equally strong positive relationships between supply and the concentration of Medicaid patients in small numbers of large Medicaid pra…

Settlement and Subsistence Patterns in the Reserve Phase and Mountain Mogollon
An inventory of sites in the highland basin of Devils Park in west- central New Mexico indicates a long-term occupation from Paleoindian to Puebloan periods. Data for Preceramic period and Pit House period settlement are limited in extent but suggest that use of the Park expanded during the Reserve phase (ca. A.D. 1000 to 1150). A dispersed system of one-room and small multi-room farmsteads is closely correlated with potential pockets of arable l…
