This book was released on 1986 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area was settled during the Spanish Colonial Period (1763-1803) by Acadian immigrants. During the nineteenth century, several sugar plantations developed in the project area, although farmsteads continued to exist. A lumber yard and the Central Sugar Factory were established near the project corridor by the end of the 1800s. Eight sites were recorded during archeological survey. Sites 16SJ41, 16SJ43, 16SJ43, 163J44, 162J46, 16SJ47, and 16SJ48 all yielded small collections of habitation refuse dating from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Because feature data, contextual integrity, and significant artifactual remains are lacking, none of these sites were determine to be significant. Site 16SJ42 represents the remains of residential structures for employees of the Lutcher and Moore Company Sawmill. Testing failed to reveal in situ deposits, and extreme water-wear on the artifacts suggested mixing of formerly discrete remains. Therefore, the site was not determined to be significant. Site 16SJ45 yielded a large collection of refuse associated with the former Golden Grove Plantation. Testing failed to reveal evidence of undisturbed cultural deposits; thus the site was not determined to be significant. No additional investigation is recommended for any of these sites. (Author).

Download or read book Making the Geologic Now written by Elizabeth Ellsworth and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making the Geologic Now announces shifts in cultural sensibilities and practices. It offers early sightings of an increasingly widespread turn toward the geologic as source of explanation, motivation, and inspiration for creative responses to conditions of the present moment. In the spirit of a broadside, this edited collection circulates images and short essays from over 40 artists, designers, architects, scholars, and journalists who are actively exploring and creatively responding to the geologic depth of "now." Contributors' ideas and works are drawn from architecture, design, contemporary philosophy and art. They are offered as test sites for what might become thinkable or possible if humans were to collectively take up the geologic as our instructive co-designer-as a partner in designing thoughts, objects, systems, and experiences. A new cultural sensibility is emerging. As we struggle to understand and meet new material realities of earth and life on earth, it becomes increasingly obvious that the geologic is not just about rocks. We now cohabit with the geologic in unprecedented ways, in teeming assemblages of exchange and interaction among geologic materials and forces and the bio, cosmo, socio, political, legal, economic, strategic, and imaginary. As a reading and viewing experience, Making the Geologic Now is designed to move through culture, sounding an alert from the unfolding edge of the "geologic turn" that is now propagating through contemporary ideas and practices.

  • ISBN : 080713855X

Download or read book Delta Empire written by Jeannie Whayne and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Delta Empire: Lee Wilson and the Transformation of Agriculture in the New South Jeannie Whayne employs the fascinating history of a powerful plantation owner in the Arkansas delta to recount the evolution of southern agriculture from the late nineteenth century through World War II. After his father’s death in 1870, Robert E. “Lee” Wilson inherited 400 acres of land in Mississippi County, Arkansas. Over his lifetime, he transformed that inheritance into a 50,000-acre lumber operation and cotton plantation. Early on, Wilson saw an opportunity in the swampy local terrain, which sold for as little as fifty cents an acre, to satisfy an expanding national market for Arkansas forest reserves. He also led the fundamental transformation of the landscape, involving the drainage of tens of thousands of acres of land, in order to create the vast agricultural empire he envisioned. A consummate manager, Wilson employed the tenancy and sharecropping system to his advantage while earning a reputation for fair treatment of laborers, a reputation—Whayne suggests—not entirely deserved. He cultivated a cadre of relatives and employees from whom he expected absolute devotion. Leveraging every asset during his life and often deeply in debt, Wilson saved his company from bankruptcy several times, leaving it to the next generation to successfully steer the business through the challenges of the 1930s and World War II. Delta Empire traces the transition from the labor-intensive sharecropping and tenancy system to the capital-intensive neo-plantations of the post–World War II era to the portfolio plantation model. Through Wilson’s story Whayne provides a compelling case study of strategic innovation and the changing economy of the South in the late nineteenth century.
