  • Shear wave attenuation in unconsolidated laboratory sediments

    Creator:
    Brunson, Burlie A.
    Abstract:
    Shear wave attenuation measurements were made using ceramic bimorph transducers to excite transverse vibrations in a cylindrical column of unconsolidated sediment. Three different water-saturated sediments were used in an attempt to determine the effects of grain shape and sorting on the frequency dependence of attenuation. The mean grain size of...

  • Social Change in Nepal : A Case Study

    Creator:
    Van Marter, Janet
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines one aspect of social change in Nepal. Contact with the outside world since 1951 has provided a non-traditional means of achieving access to highly valued occupations, resulting in the formation of an emerging elite. High caste status is no longer absolutely necessary to gain access to education,...

  • An analysis of lithic tools and debitage from 35CS1 : a prehistoric site on the southern Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Draper, John A.
    Abstract:
    The Philpott site (35CS1) is located on the north bank of the Coquille River near Bandon, Oregon. Test excavations at the site were conducted in 1978 by Oregon State University under the direction of Richard E. Ross. One artifact assemblage and one distinct component were defined during the analysis of...

  • The Identification of Early Prehistoric Settlement Patterns Along the Coast of Southwest Oregon : A Survey Based Upon Amateur Artifact Collections

    Creator:
    Pullen, Reginald John
    Abstract:
    Surveys of amateur artifact collections in southwest Oregon indicate that traditional settlement pattern models for this region may be in error. Based on the distribution of major styles of projectile points, at least two distinct periods of occupation are definable. The Early period is tentatively dated between 1000 B.C. and...

  • Aboriginal fishing at Seal Rock (35-LC-14) and Neptune (35-LA-3) : late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Zontek, Terry
    Abstract:
    A sample of fish remains from two late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central coast of Oregon were analyzed to partially evaluate two models of aboriginal subsistence-settlement systems. One model is based upon ethnograhpic data, primarily Drucker's (1939), for Yakonen speakers collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The...

  • An analysis of two post-Mazama prehistoric flaked stone scatters in the upper Deschutes River basin of central Oregon

    Creator:
    McFarland, Janine Ruth
    Abstract:
    During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing project was completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical site type which is especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which, to date,...

  • Subsistence variability in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Havercroft, Francine M.
    Abstract:
    During the summer of 1981, Oregon State University archaeologically tested three prehistoric sites on the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Among the sites tested were typical Willamette Valley floodplain and adjacent upland sites. Most settlement-subsistence pattern models proposed for the Willamette Valley have been generated with data from the...

  • Whale Cove (35LNC60) : an archaeological investigation on the central Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Rogers, Ann Bennett
    Abstract:
    The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously mentioned archeologically defined...

    Creator:
    Abusaidi, Ali
    Abstract:
    Under the sponsorship of the Klamath National Forest, 25 log cabins which were built in western Siskiyou County between 1850 and 1937 were located and studied. First, 11 exterior dimensions of these cabins were selected, measured and recorded. Then 26 building elements were identified for the purpose of finding whether...
