Book Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site  35LNC14

Download or read book Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site 35LNC14 written by Linda Ann Clark and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and antler tools provide information on the technological and functional aspects of this stage of adaptation. The presence of certain varieties of projectile points, composite harpoon valves, and fishing implements compliment evidence of procurement activities provided by the recovered faunal remains. Comparisons of the Seal Rock tool assemblage with those from sites located along the southern Northwest Coast reveal that technological influences from archaeological cultures located to the north and south are present at the Seal Rock site.

Book Landscapes of Conflict

    Book Details:
  • Author : William G. Robbins
  • Publisher : University of Washington Press
  • Release : 2009-11-23
  • ISBN : 0295989882
  • Pages : 458 pages

Download or read book Landscapes of Conflict written by William G. Robbins and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-World War II Oregon was a place of optimism and growth, a spectacular natural region from ocean to high desert that seemingly provided opportunity in abundance. With the passing of time, however, Oregon’s citizens — rural and urban — would find themselves entangled in issues that they had little experience in resolving. The same trees that provided income to timber corporations, small mill owners, loggers, and many small towns in Oregon, also provided a dramatic landscape and a home to creatures at risk. The rivers whose harnessing created power for industries that helped sustain Oregon’s growth — and were dumping grounds for municipal and industrial wastes — also provided passageways to spawning grounds for fish, domestic water sources, and recreational space for everyday Oregonians. The story of Oregon’s accommodation to these divergent interests is a divisive story between those interested in economic growth and perceived stability and citizens concerned with exercising good stewardship towards the state’s natural resources and preserving the state’s livability. In his second volume of Oregon’s environmental history, William Robbins addresses efforts by individuals and groups within and outside the state to resolve these conflicts. Among the people who have had roles in this process, journalists and politicians Richard Neuberger and Tom McCall left substantial legacies and demonstrated the ambiguities inherent in the issues they confronted.
