This book was released on 1981 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human settlement patterns are the ways in which people locate themselves over the terrain in their area of occupation. Settlement pattern prediction attempts to define and understand the factors in culture, technology, and environment that shape the spatial distribution of habitation sites for a given group of people. A systematic approach to the assessment of a region's prehistoric archaeological resources was conducted in this study. The study area was classified according to the suitability of its terrain for aboriginal settlement, ethnographic and archaeology data were collected, and a reconstruction of the prehistoric environment was completed. Additional data from aerial remote sensors were gathered, as were the observations from ground reconnaissance. A collation and analysis of all available data was conducted, and a prediction of probable prehistoric settlement patterns was made based on polythetic settlement criteria. Of the numerous prehistoric sites located in this study, none was apparently detected by aerial remote sensors. Many unfavorable factors exist in the Willamette Valley for the detection of prehistoric hunter/gatherer sites. These factors include dense tree canopy and vegetation on uncleared land, extensive plowing of agricultural lands which yearly decreases soil traces of prehistoric settlements, and a predominance of clay soils which have been observed in previous aerial photographic applications, to be poor in their ability to reveal past soil disturbance. The systematic approach and settlement pattern criteria used in this study will be of value in the determination of prehistoric settlement patterns in the rest of the mid-Willamette Valley. Future studies of Kalapuya settlement patterns could be enhanced using this system. Protection and excavation of the prehistoric hunter/gatherer sites present in the study area is the desired product of this research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Community Based Participatory Research in archaeology finally comes of age with Atalay’s long-anticipated volume. She promotes a collaborative approach to knowledge gathering, interpretation, and use that benefits descendant communities and archaeological practitioners, contributing to a more relevant, rewarding, and responsible archaeology. This is essential reading for anyone who asks why we do archaeology, for whom, and how best can it be done.” – George Nicholas, author of Being and Becoming Indigenous Archaeologists “Sonya Atalay shows archaeologists how the process of Community Based Participatory Research can move our efforts at collaboration with local communities beyond theory and good intentions to a sustainable practice. This is a game-changing book that every archaeologist must read.” – Randall H. McGuire, author of Archaeology as Political Action
Download or read book A Holocene Geoarchaeological Record for the Upper Willamette Valley Oregon written by Brian Leander O'Neill and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological investigations at the Chalker (35LA420) and Long Tom (35LA439) sites were prompted by the Oregon Department of Transportation's plan to realign a segment of the Florence-Eugene Highway (OR 126) between the communities of Noti and Veneta. When these sites were discovered in the proposed new highway corridor, additional survey and testing was done to identify an alternate route that would avoid the sites. For every new alignment examined, however, additional significant cultural sites were encountered. While the final construction design avoided most of the identified sites, impacts on two, the Chalker and Long Tom sites, were found to be unavoidable. Data recovery excavation at these two sites was accomplished during the summer and fall of 1986, and is reported here.

Download or read book Environment and Experience written by Peter Boag and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneer battling with a hostile environment—whether it be arid land, drought, dust storms, dense forests, or harsh winters—is a staple of western American history. In this innovative, multi-disciplinary work, Peter Boag takes issue with the image of the settler against the frontier, arguing that settlers viewed their new surroundings positively and attempted to create communities in harmony with the landscape. Using Oregon's Calapooia Valley as a case study, Boag presents a history of both land and people that shows the process of change as settlers populated the land and turned it to their own uses. By combining local sources, ranging from letters and diaries to early maps and local histories, and drawing upon the methods of geography, natural history, and literary analysis, Boag has created a richly detailed grass-roots portrait of a frontier community. Most significantly, he analyzes the connections among environmental, cultural, and social changes in ways that illuminate the frontier experience throughout the American west.
