West African Culture Dynamics
National Academic Recognition for Anthropology Students
Gender in African Prehistory
Gender in African Prehistory provides methods and theories for delineating and discussing prehistoric gender relations and their change through time. Sites studied range from Egypt to South Africa and Ghana to Tanzania, while time periods span the Stone Age to the period just prior to colonialization
The McKern Taxonomic System and Archaeological Culture Classification in the Midwestern United States
In the first half of the 20th century three major archaeological culture unit classifications were formulated in the United States. The most curious one was the Midwestern Taxonomic System, a scheme that ignored time and space. Alton K. Fisher suggested to W. C. McKern in the late 1920's that the Linnean model of morphological classification, which was employed in biology at a time of pre-evolutionary thinking, might be adapted to archaeologica…

African Civilizations, Precolonial Cities and States in Tropical Africa
Introduction 2. Concepts and questions 3. Corridor or cul-de-sac: the middle Nile 4. The benefits of isolation: the Ethiopian highlands 5. An optimal zone: the West African savanna 6. Brilliance beneath the trees: the West African forest and its fringes 7. The edge or the centre: cities of the East African coast 8. A question of economic basis: Great Zimbabwe and related sites 9. The problem of archaeological visibility: other precolonial cities …

A Logical Sequence of Archaeological Objectives
A series of seven idealized levels of procedure in conducting archaeological research is proposed: preparation, acquisition, analysis, interpretation, integration, comparison, and abstraction. This scheme was employed to investigate archaeological phenomena from Lava Beds National Monument, northern California
Rediscovering Ghana's past
Ecological Interpretation in Archaeology
Interpretations of man's relationship to his environment are basic to the understanding of archaeological data. Such interpretations are made by almost all archaeologists in the course of presenting their findings, and there is a growing trend toward more precise delineation of human ecology in prehistoric times. Yet much archaeological writing of this sort tends to be sketchy and fragmentary, and techniques of value are often overlooked or ignor…

Blade Manufacture in Southern California
The striking of long, slender, parallel-sided flakes, or blades, from prepared cores has long been known in the Arctic and Mesoamerica. Small pointed blades with distinctive triangular cross section are also found in the Late Horizon in both mainland and island Canaliño sites in that part of the Santa Barbara Channel region of southern California which was ethnographically occupied by the Chumash

An Over Extension of the Mud-Flats Hypothesis? A Comment on the Struever-Vickery Hypothesis
Aluminum Powder
The application of a mixture of aluminum powder and water, rather than chalk, is proposed for photographically recording petroglyphs. The use of chalk is questionable due to its permanency, tendency to disfigure soft surfaces, indistinctness of line and non-light-reflecting properties. Petroglyphs should be photographed without additives whenever possible, but with good judgment aluminum powder can be used as a time- and labor-saving aid
Evidence For The Indian Occupation Of Santa Barbara Island
Ecological Interpretation in Archaeology
In a previous paper (Meighan and others 1958), we considered techniques whereby the archaeologist can derive conclusions concerning prehistoric man's relationship to his environment. We limited our study to hunting and gathering societies since we felt that these were most directly and intimately affected by environment. In the present discussion, we have attempted to expand our study to include archaeological communities marked by the presence o…
The Effects on Reaction-Time of Various Orders and Distributions of Relevant Stimuli in the Word-Association Experiment
Résumé LES EFFETS SUR LE TEMPS DE RÉACTION DE DIVERS ORDRES ET DISTRIBUTIONS DE STIMULI RELATIFS DANS L'EXPÉRIENCE D'ASSOCIATION DE MOTS L'expérience a mesuré les effets sur le temps de réaction de 5 ordres de distribution de 20 mots relatifs au sexe dans une liste de 80 mots non relatifs. Les 5 ordres ont été: I, le groupe central, de 40 stimuli insignifiants, de 20 stimuli signifiants, et de 40 stimuli insignifiants; II, le groupe séparé, de 20…
