Comparing Random and Nonrandom Spatial Patterns of Artifacts within Lithostratigraphic Unit 3 at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho

Creator:: Gregory, Alex R.
Abstract:: Archaeological investigations at the Cooper's Ferry site in Western Idaho have recovered cultural remains dating to 16,000 years ago, suggesting the oldest human occupation recorded in North America. However, many archaeologists have argued the initial peopling of North America occurred no earlier than the opening of an ice-free corridor between...

Cultivating taste and place in Russia : perspectives from Moscow's alternative food network

Creator:: D'Alessandro, Erica
Abstract:: Limited research has analyzed how the values espoused by Western alternative food systems, such as taste and territoriality, are adopted and refashioned in post-socialist societies. Muscovites now echo the global quality turn that reconnects consumers to their food sources. This research qualitatively explores the perspectives of the cosmopolitan consumers of...

Searching for Early Archaeological Sites Along the Central Oregon Coast: A Case Study From Neptune State Park (35LA3), Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Jenevein, Steven A.
Abstract:: Locating archaeological sites that predate the arrival of modern sea level has been difficult along the Oregon coast. This is in part believed to be the result of geologic processes that have influenced the preservation, distribution, and visibility of sites within the Oregon coastal landscape. Because of these changes, researchers...

Searching for Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene-age Deposits in the Paleo-Tahkenitch Stream Basin: A Geoarchaeological Investigation in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Newell, Zachary A.
Abstract:: Coastal stream basins are of great importance to efforts aimed at refining our understanding of the earliest populations that inhabited the ancient Oregon coast. However, geomorphic responses to post-glacial sea level rise in these settings has produced depositional environments that destroy or deeply bury late Pleistocene and early Holocene-age archaeological...

A Reconstruction of Plant Species Composition at the Devil's Kitchen Site (Southern Oregon Coast) using Plant Opal Phytoliths and Charcoal Macro-remains

Creator:: Bulder, Nicholas H.
Abstract:: Although plant remains, such as opal phytolith and charcoal analyses, have been used since the beginning of the 20th century to reconstruct past environments by ecologists and botanists, only recently have these techniques been considered by archaeologists in understanding the past at the site level. This study employs opal phytolith...

Abstract:: This dissertation aims to provide a comprehensive portrayal of doula care in the lives of pregnant and parenting adolescent mothers. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between psychosocial stress, social support, institutionalized constraints, and their impacts on health and well-being among adolescent mothers in the Northwestern...

Looking for Fish of the Right Age : Developing Predictive Modeling for Submerged Sites Using GIS, Salmon Genetics, and the Human Ecology of Salmon

Creator:: Krier, Jon C.
Abstract:: A major challenge to the study of the peopling of the Americas is that much of the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), the geographic area that people migrating from Northeast Asia into North America would presumably have passed through, is now submerged due to sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum....

Civic agriculture : the successes, trials, and future of the local food movement in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Klingensmith, Thomas S.
Abstract:: This study investigated the local and sustainable food movements in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The aim of the research was to better understand the current condition of the phenomenon, what it means to the communities studied and the future role it will play in the state. Other research objectives...

Serving Amid Institutional Camouflage : The Invisibility of School Food Service Workers

Creator:: Byrd, Janette
Abstract:: The products, processes, and tools of school feeding programs have been examined from multiple perspectives and disciplines in an attempt to improve child nutrition outcomes, to support local and national agriculture, and increase sustainability practices. There is little qualitative research on the role, needs, and experiences of school food service...
