Kinship in a Tausug Poblacion
The Tausug are the dominant ethnic group in Sulu, the chain of islands forming the southernmost province in the Philippines. Approximately 175,000 Tausug inhabit the island of Jolo, whose urban town of the same name is the capital of the province. Jolo has long been the seat of Tausug power, for it was here that the Moslem Tausug organized the Sultanate of Sulu, one of the prominent sultanates of Southeast Asia. The island of Jolo contains at lea…

The Tinian Chamorros
In a previous number of Human Organization, Leonard Mason described the transplanting of the Marshallese population from Bikini atoll to a succession of islands, and the consequent adjustment problems this small community faced. The present paper deals with another transplanted group in the Trust Territory—the Chamorros of Tinian Island, in the Marianas—for the purpose of adding another set of firsthand observations to the record on transplanted …

Observations on the Study of Kinship
The Marshall Islands and Transpacific Aviation
IN THE wake of a terrific bombardment by ships and aircraft, American marines landed on the beaches of Kwajalein in January of 1944, initiating the campaign to secure the Marshall Island bases. The Navy Department's atom-bomb test scheduled to take place at Bikini atoll brings the Marshalls once more to the center of public attention. No doubt they will be of military importance for some time to come. It is their economic importance, however, tha…

Southwestern Pithouses
In the January, 1949 number of American Antiquity T. L. Smiley presents a concise description of an early eighth century pithouse at Mesa Verde. He notes the occurrence of a similar pithouse excavated by Brew at Alkali Ridge in southeastern Utah, and a second similar structure described by Morris from the La Plata area. The purpose of this note is to broaden the comparative picture by indicating a third pithouse even more closely resembling the M…

Historic Creek Pottery from Oklahoma
Despite the remarkable progress manifest in the archaeology of the Southeast, there remains an appreciable gap in our historical perspective between ethnological horizons and late period archaeological material. Pottery is one highly important time-indicator that persisted into historic times, yet for one of the major Southeastern tribes- the Creeks-pottery in ethnological museum collections is rare. For this reason, the authors here describe the…

John Fee Embree
In the tragic death of John Fee Embree, reported in the last issue of this journal, anthropology lost one of its most sensitive field observers, a sound scholar, and a proponent and critic of the extension of anthropology into the applied field. Embree was born on August 26, 1908 in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Kate Clark and the late Edwin R. Embree. As director of the Rosenwald Fund, the elder Embree was well known for his interest in rac…
