Assessing Site Significance
Assessing Site Significance is an invaluable resource for archaeologists and others who need guidance in determining whether sites are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because the register's eligibility criteria were largely developed for standing sites, it is difficult to know in any particular case whether a site known primarily through archaeological work has sufficient 'historical significance' to be li…
Historical Archaeology and the Environment
Perspectives on Global-Change Archaeology
In this article, I explore the characteristics of global-change archaeology as an emerging field of research. Global-change archaeology seeks to document and apply historical knowledge of past human-environmental interactions to the understanding of contemporary environmental problems and management and planning for future sustainability. It takes place within an interdisciplinary research structure and is situated within the explanatory contexts…

Power and the industrial mining community in the American West
The industrial metal-mining communities of the American West offer a unique opportunity to explore the anthropology and archaeology of power. These communities, first emerging on western Nevada’s Comstock Lode within a few years after its discovery in 1859, were an outgrowth of the expansion of industrialism, including industrial technology, highly mobile wageworkers, the labor movement, ethnic enclaves and corporations, throughout the USA (Robbi…

Evaluating site significance in historical mining districts
Research and Development in the Stone Age
The transition from Pleistocene to Archaic/Mesolithic is analyzed in broad ecological terms. The trend throughout most of the Pleistocene toward increasing technological diversity is linked to the expectable ecological tendency to increase resource reliability. The advent of culture enabled man to increase resource reliability by diversifying his resource base. Resources were largely of the K-selected type, economical to procure with simple techn…
Ecological anthropology
Ecological Theory and Ethnic Differentiation Among Human Populations [and Comments and Replies]
The formation and maintenance of distinct ethnic populations within multiethnic communities is proposed to be functionally equivalent to the process of species diversification in multispecies communities. This paper suggests that while these processes operate through different selective mechanisms-one social and the other genetic-ethnic boundaries, like species boundaries, function to regulate the behavior of potentially competing populations in …
The Human Ecological Niche1
The concept of the ecological niche has been used in a number of ways in anthropology: as a specialized part of human society, as synonymous with culture, and as a segment of the habitat. It is proposed that the "multi-dimensional" concept of the human ecological niche renders the niche concept of greater value to studies of human ecology. The importance of biological factors is stressed, and particular attention is paid to the principle of compe…

Environmental Orientations
A new approach to social ecology is offered which attempts to integrate a variety of theories, each of which approaches the problem of man's relationship to his environment from a different perspective. It is postulated that man refers to the environment to achieve not one, but a multiplicity of purposes. To each purpose corresponds a type of environmental orientation. Four such orientations are distinguished: the instrumental, the territorial, t…

Historic Sites Archaeology on the Western American Frontier
Historic sites archaeology in the western United States is booming but continues to be conducted ad hoc. The demands of assessing significance for cultural resource management purposes suggests that integrative research problems must be identified. One set of such problems emerge from the frontier concept. The use of synecological models from general ecology is proposed as a new framework within which to better understand frontier phenomena. As a…
