Evaluating the protective effect of public open space on social connectedness: Evidence from a natural experiment cohort study in three Canadian cities
Community design has the potential to address urban isolation and loneliness at a population level, but limited research on the causal effects of the built environment constrains evidence-based action in cities. This study examined the effect of public open space on changes in social connectedness among adults (n = 665) during the COVID-19 pandemic, using geospatial data from OpenStreetMap and health survey data from three cities (Montréal, Saska…
I'm New to This: Navigating Digitally Mediated Photovoice Methods to Enhance Research With Older Adults
The COVID-19 pandemic forced a shift in long established participatory visual qualitative methods. Some researchers adapted photovoice- which traditionally happens in-person-and used technology to connect with participants referred to as 'digitally mediated photovoice'. Collective knowledge about best practices for digitally mediated photovoice to support and enhance research with older adults is in its infancy. Thus, to advance the field, we des…

Las teselas sueltas fueron encontradas en la Cueva del Diablo y en Yucuita. En este texto se de…
Visitor perspectives on commenting in museums
Commenting in museums is a well-established way to give visitors a voice and encourage engagement with exhibition themes and with the institution. Despite its many benefits, we know little about the visitor perspective on commenting as current literature focuses mainly on museum and technology perspectives. This paper reports on a survey exploring visitors’ mental models, expectations and preferences when submitting comments to a museum. It brief…

Archaeological Residues and Recipes: Exploratory Testing for Evidence of Maize and Cacao Beverages in Postclassic Vessels from the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico
As dates of earliest use of Theobroma cacao in ancient Mesoamerica are established, interest is shifting to how cacao was used. One approach is to consider combinations of ingredients-the recipes for ancient cacao use. Beverages made from cacao seeds and maize have a long history in Mesoamerica. We began testing the hypothesis that there is qualitative evidence of this beverage type in the Postclassic archaeological record in a region where such …
Social Memory and the Origins of Monte Alban
The founding of Monte Alban marked the beginning of the urban revolution in Oaxaca and a reorganization of Zapotec culture and society, which soon had repercussions among Mixtecs and other Otomangue groups in highland Oaxaca. While local factors contributed to Monte Alban's origins, the architectural expression of the city's core, consisting of a main plaza with leaders’ dwellings on each side and a ceremonial precinct at one end, comes from the …
The Early Formative Period in the Southern Isthmus: Excavations at Barrio Tepalcate, Ixtepec, Oaxaca
Barrio Tepalcate, on the Los Perros River just outside Ciudad Ixtepec, Oaxaca, 18 km upriver from Laguna Zope, is one of the few Early and Middle Formative period sites known in the southern Isthmus of Tehuantepec region. Our salvage excavation in 2005 showed that the village covered no more than four hectares. It was probably one of several villages along the river in a two-tiered settlement hierarchy centered on Laguna Zope. The presence of Ear…
Tracking the Transition from Welfare to Work
One of the primary goals of the 1996 federal welfare reform legislation was to reduce dependency on cash transfers and to promote self-sufficiency through employment in the paid labor force. This paper draws upon a qualitative study of 18 Iowa welfare recipients and tracks changes that occur over a three-year, post-reform period. Thick descriptions highlight the internal family dynamics of the choices made over time. The purposes of the study are…
Methodological Issues in the Provenance Investigation of Early Formative Mesoamerican Ceramics
A recent study of Early Formative Mesoamerican pottery by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) yielded surprising results that prompted two critiques in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The INAA study indicated that the Olmec center of San Lorenzo was a major exporter of carved-incised and white pottery and that little if any pottery made elsewhere was consumed at San Lorenzo. The critiques purport to "overturn" the…
Smokescreens in the Provenance Investigation of Early Formative Mesoamerican Ceramics
We are glad that Sharer et al. (this issue) have dropped their original claim that the INAA data demonstrate multidirectional movement of Early Formative pottery. Beyond this, however, they offer nothing that might enhance understanding of Early Formative ceramic circulation or inspire new insights into Early Formative cultural evolution in Mesoamerica. Instead, their response contains fresh distortions, replications of mistakes made in their PNA…
Ceramic Production and Exchange in Late/Terminal Formative Period Oaxaca
Patterns of Late/Terminal Formative period (ca. 500 B.C.-A.D. 300) ceramic exchange in Oaxaca are examined through instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). Samples of 453 Late/Terminal Formative period sherds were submitted to the Missouri University Research Reactor for INAA to determine elemental composition. The sherds came from 20 excavated sites and two surveys in the following regions: the Valley of Oaxaca, Mixteca Alta, Mixteca Baj…
Cross-Institutional Norms for Timing and Sequencing and the Use of Adjustment Strategies in Families Affiliated with Family-Owned Businesses
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of variables related to the timing and sequencing of family and business development on the types of adjustment strategies that business and family managers use during hectic times. The purpose is accomplished through the analysis of a national sample of business-owning families in which the family manager had at least one child living in the household. Findings indicate that the stage of the bus…

Culturally modified skeletal remains from the site of Huamelulpan, Oaxaca, Mexico
A series of crania from the site of Huamelulpan, Oaxaca, Mexico (400 BC to AD 800), were examined. Four showed notable cultural modifications. One exhibited a healed trephination, while the other three were perforated through the frontal. The cultural context and significance of these modifications is discussed, especially in relationship to the site of Monte Albán, where trephination was more common than anywhere else in Mesoamerica. The post-mo…
Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…

A Theory of Family Housing Adjustment
The paper presents a conceptual and theoretical framework for the study of the housing adjustment behavior of families. Families are viewed as evaluating their housing in terms of cultural norms and family norms. When their housing does not meet the norms, it tends to give rise to dissatisfaction, producing a propensity to reduce the normative deficit. Residential mobility, residential adaptation, and family adaptation are the modes of adjustment…

Exchange Implications of Obsidian Source Analysis from the Lower Rio Verde Valley, Oaxaca, Mexico
This article considers the results of instrumental neutron-activation analyses of 61 obsidian artifacts recovered from excavations at four archaeological sites in the lower Río Verde valley on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. Determinations of source locations of these artifacts permit the examination of changes in obsidian exchange patterns spanning the late Middle Formative to the Classic period. The results show that through most of this p…

Housing Norms, Housing Satisfaction and the Propensity to Move
Normative housing deficits are introduced into an analysis of the propensity to move as intervening variables between socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and satisfaction. The findings support the use of residential satisfaction and normative housing deficits as predictors of the propensity to move. The results indicate that the propensity to move is a response to housing satisfaction which, in turn, is a response to discrepancies betwe…

Reporting Error and Single-Family Home Ownership Norms and Preferences
The purpose of this research is to test hypotheses about the differences among income classes in home-ownership preferences and reported norms. The first hypothesis is that households with differing levels of income have differing standards and aspirations for home ownership and the single-family dwelling. The alternative hypothesis is that the apparent differences among income classes in housing preferences and norms are due to a correctable sys…

Ecological Theory and Cultural Evolution in the Valley of Oaxaca [and Comments and Reply]
Reply to Doolittle
Doolittle (1989) provides interesting information on pocitos and registros but does not show that they are associated with irrigation agriculture exclusively, nor does he address the main point of our paper — that Hierve el Agua was a salt-producing site. We suggest several criteria for distinguishing salt-production sites from agricultural sites and present some additional observations in support of our interpretation of Hierve el Agua's functio…
Removing Housing Deficits in the Transition from Rental to Ownership
A dynamic model of housing adjustment is used to analyze data from rural and small-town households in the north-central region of the U.S. The method interfaces a deterministic model with data collected from renter households who are evolving to firsttime home ownership. The model shows that most new home owners remove space and dwelling deficits in their transitions from renter to owner. These results also indicate that the concepts of housing a…
Adjustment, Adaptation, Regeneration, and the Impact of Disasters on Housing and Households: A Prologue to Research
This work is based, in part, on preliminary research in Mexico City after the earthquakes of September, 1985. It presents an outline of the housing adjustment model of routine household housing behavior; an outline of the ABCX family crisis model; and adapts the two approaches for use in the analysis of disaster effects on households and their housing
Planning and Implementation in the Informal SectorEvidence from Oaxaca, Mexico
Case Studies of Women in the informal sector in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, lead to the idea that individuals in the informal sector utilize planning strategies appropriate to their situation. Regulative, goal-centered, or morphostatic planning strategies-strategies focused on maintaining the system in its current state of equilibrium-are appropriate when a market has been developed and the desire is to maintain it under current conditions. Gener…
