Upland and Coastal Sediment Sources in a Chesapeake Bay Estuary
Rapid sedimentation in the upper and central portions of tributary estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay typically has been attributed to clearing of land and subsequent upland erosion since European settlement. New data from the South River, Maryland and re-examination of existing literature suggest that coastal erosion may be the dominant process driving sediment inputs along the entire length of many tributary estuaries of the Chesapeake over the pa…
Mixtec Ethnicity
Culture, according to one anthropological formulation, is “the structure of meaning through which people give shape to their experience” (Geertz 1973, 312). Clifford Geertz's definition necessarily implies consideration of struggles over the politics of that meaning. Implicit and explicit in such struggles are political efforts to impose upon others a particular concept of how things really are and therefore how people are obliged to act (Geertz …

Marsh Loss in Nanticoke Estuary, Chesapeake Bay
Marsh loss in the Nanticoke estuary dates from the 1920s. Since 1938 overall rate of loss has averaged 49.6 ha annually, with rates increasing down estuary. Most losses have occurred in submerged upland marshes; tidal freshwater marshes are stable. Interior ponding has been the primary mechanism of loss. Rising water levels are postulated to be the underlying force behind marsh losses in this estuary. R ECENT predictions of accelerated rates of s…

Reconstruction of Holocene Changes in Alpine Vegetation and Climate in the Maligne Range, Jasper National Park, Alberta
Pollen, macrofossil (logs and needles), and oxygen-isotope data from tree rings are presented for three alpine bog sites in the Maligne Range of the Canadian Rockies. Organic sedimentation at the Watchtower site began prior to ca. 9500 14 C yr B.P. and by 8770 yr B.P. timberlines were at least 100 m above present levels. The two pollen records are dominated by Pinus and subsequent changes in timberlines are inferred from pollen-ratio data ( Abies…

Culture and Psychotherapy
Anthropology of Symbolic Healing [and Comments and Reply]
A number of investigators are agreed that the popular medical systems of tribal, peasant, and allied peoples are "effective." Most of the literature closely examining that effectiveness focuses on the ethnopharmacological dimensions of the healing systems and generally ignores psychosocial factors. Recent developments in psychophysiology may offer insights into these neglected areas. The specific idea to be examined here is that successful "gener…

The Mission of Metaphor in Expressive Culture [and Comments and Reply]
The reappearance of the metaphor concept in ethnologic inquiry suggests the need for a clearer trope-ology than we now possess. Metaphor (and metonym) is defined here as the predication of a sign-image upon any of the set of inchoate pronouns-the essential social subjects. The study of metaphor is the study of the way these subjects take objects unto themselves or are assigned them-the way that, in the parlance of G. H. Mead, they "take the other…
Darwinian Psychological Anthropology
Psychological anthropology has contributed more to cross-cultural psychology and psychiatry than to its parent discipline. Needed is a biosocial psychological anthropology stressing the analysis of social relationships and focusing on the individual in his natural social context rather than on isolated personality mechanisms or grand culture-and-personality theoretical schemes. Human social relationships and structures may be viewed as having bee…

"An Exception to the "Image of Limited Good
Research in southern Mexico indicates that there is a general exception to Foster's Image of Limited Good, in Mexican peasant world view. The limited good concept holds that all desirable material and non-material entities are seen as existing in finite amounts which cannot be augmented. In such communities, however, it is implicitly assumed that one can experience intensified desirable emotions without necessarily suffering a loss in some other …
