  • The cultural significance of mountain regions : implications for the Calapooya Divide, Oregon

    Creator:
    Starr, Karen J.
    Abstract:
    Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans also utilize...

    Abstract:
    Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...
