This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agua Blanca fault is interpreted as an active, dextral strike-slip fault in northern Baja California about 100 km south from the U.S.-Mexico border. Tectonically, the Agua Blanca fault is associated with the San Andreas fault system, which comprises the main portion of the transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates. Although there are estimated slip rates for the fault, there is no recorded seismicity. Geomorphic maps at a scale of ~ 1:5,000 were completed within the Valle Santo Tomas. Features characteristic of strike-slip faulting such as deflected streams and shutter ridges suggest the fault is still active and should not be considered abandoned. Ground-penetrating radar surveys were conducted in order to image the fault in the near surface. Based on the GPR data, it is apparent that a greater number of fault splays exist in the shallow subsurface than evidenced at the surface. This suggests that the detailed structure of the Agua Blanca fault consists of a complex system of fault splays and that a main fault strand and several subsidiary faults splays exist in Valle Santo Tomas.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agua Blanca fault system is a dextral strike-slip fault system in northwestern Baja California, Mexico. Despite no historic seismic activity, the geomorphology suggests that the fault is active. Geomorphic maps (~1:10,000) were completed within three field areas along the western segment of the main fault. Diagnostic features such as deflected stream channels provide evidence of recent fault activity. The presence of well-developed triangular facets suggests an additional normal component to this strike-slip system. Ground-penetrating radar surveys were conducted to image the fault in the near surface. Many more fault splays were mapped within the sections than were visible at the surface, indicating the complexity of the fault system. Alluvial surfaces were identified within the sections and characterized based on continuity and shape of reflectors.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Valle Santo Tomás is situated on a segment of the Agua Blanca fault (ABF) which is an ~130 km WNW-ESE trending dextral strike-slip fault within the Pacific-North American (PAC- NAM) plate boundary. Although the ABF is thought to be active, evidence for recent seismic activity is scarce. In the Valle Santo Tomás, geologic, geomorphic, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were conducted to evaluate the fault segment for features that demonstrate recent movement. Features such as shutter ridges, diverted streams and fault scarps are observed and interpreted to indicate some degree of recent movement. The GPR survey further supports that the fault exists in the shallow subsurface as evidenced by offset beds, rotated hanging wall blocks and a negative flower structure indicating some degree of recent transtensional movement along the Valle Santo Tomás segment of the ABF.

This book was released on 1976-03-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of Volume 16 of this distinguished series brings to a close one of the largest research and documentation projects ever undertaken on the Middle American Indians. Since the publication of Volume 1 in 1964, the Handbook of Middle American Indians has provided the most complete information on every aspect of indigenous culture, including natural environment, archaeology, linguistics, social anthropology, physical anthropology, ethnology, and ethnohistory. Culminating this massive project is Volume 16, divided into two parts. Part I, Sources Cited, by Margaret A. L. Harrison, is a listing in alphabetical order of all the bibliographical entries cited in Volumes 1-11. (Volumes 12-15, comprising the Guide to Ethnohistorical Sources, have not been included, because they stand apart in subject matter and contain or constitute independent bibliographical material.) Part II, Location of Artifacts Illustrated, by Marjorie S. Zengel, details the location (at the time of original publication) of the owner of each pre-Columbian American artifact illustrated in Volumes 1-11 of the Handbook, as well as the size and the catalog, accession, and/or inventory number that the owner assigns to the object. The two parts of Volume 16 provide a convenient and useful reference to material found in the earlier volumes. The Handbook of Middle American Indians was assembled and edited at the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the assistance of grants from the National Science Foundation and under the sponsorship of the National Research Council Committee on Latin American Anthropology.

This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnology comprises the seventh and eighth volumes in the Handbook of Middle American Indians, published in cooperation with the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University under the general editorship of Robert Wauchope (1909–1979). The editor of the Ethnology volumes is Evon Z. Vogt (1918–2004), Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Social Relations, Harvard University. These two books contain forty-three articles, all written by authorities in their field, on the ethnology of the Maya region, the southern Mexican highlands and adjacent regions, the central Mexican highlands, western Mexico, and northwest Mexico. Among the topics described for each group of Indians are the history of ethnological investigations, cultural and linguistic distributions, major postcontact events, population, subsistence systems and food patterns, settlement patterns, technology, economy, social organization, religion and world view, aesthetic and recreational patterns, life cycle and personality development, and annual cycle of life. The volumes are illustrated with photographs and drawings of contemporary and early historical scenes of native Indian life in Mexico and Central America. The Handbook of Middle American Indians was assembled and edited at the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the assistance of grants from the National Science Foundation and under the sponsorship of the National Research Council Committee on Latin American Anthropology.
