A GIS investigation of indigenous intensification of native food plants : humans as environmental variable in maxent habitat suitability modeling of Camassia in Oregon

Creator:: Elliott, Braden T.
Abstract:: This thesis merges the fields of Ecology and Anthropology by applying Habitat Suitability Modeling to the relationship between people and plants in the Pacific Northwest. In it, I create and optimize two Maxent habitat suitability models for camas (Camassia spp.) in Oregon. The first model describes the physical environment of...

Plague in London : a case study of the biological and social pressures exerted by 300 years of yersinia pestis

Creator:: Hall, Alice
Abstract:: The Second Pandemic had a profound impact on the people of Europe. In the few years between 1347 and 1350, a new epidemic disease spread across the entirety of Europe and killed between one third and two thirds of the population.

Boring to the Core: The Archaeology, History, and Dendrochronology of a Railroad Logging Camp, Ladee Flat, Clackamas County, Oregon

Creator:: Paullin, Pamela K.
Abstract:: Although the timber industry was the major economic force in the lives of several generations of Oregon families, very little archaeological investigation has been done on the dozens of abandoned logging camps that are scattered throughout the forests of the Pacific Northwest. This project focuses on Camp 1, a 1920s...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
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...

A New Method for the Analysis of Human Hair : A Morphological Case Study of Five Sample Populations

Creator:: Weitzel, Misty A.
Abstract:: Hair is an important piece of evidence in forensic and archaeological investigations. Analysis of the morphological features of hair has been reported since at least the early 1800's. However, many questions still remain unanswered such as, how can human groups (or local populations) be analyzed and possibly distinguished from each...

Biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria by two chrysomelid beetles Galerucella pusilla and G. calmariensis

Creator:: Schooler, Shon
Abstract:: In the first part of this study we monitored the development of biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria over a six-year period at Morgan Lake in western Oregon. In 1992, two beetles, Galerucella pusilla and G. calmariensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), were released to control the wetland weed at this test...

The Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead : The Development of the Macabre in Late Medieval England

Creator:: Sandeno, Robin M.
Abstract:: Many authorities state that the development of macabre images were a result of the plague that first swept through western Europe 1347-1350. However, many aspects of the macabre were already in place prior to the plague. A more realistic explanation for the macabre is in the modification of religious belief,...

Champoeg, a perspective of a frontier community in Oregon, 1830-1861

Creator:: Speulda-Drews, Lou Ann
Abstract:: Champoeg, located along the Willamette River, developed as a transportation center for both river and overland travel and as a shipping point for agricultural products. Retired employees of the Hudson's Bay Company were the first to settle in the area, in the 1830s. American settlers began arriving in large numbers...

Alternating current and voltage profiles on compensated high-voltage underground power cables

Creator:: Hirakami, Michael
Abstract:: The utilization of extra-high-voltage underground power cables over distances greater than 100 miles presents serious problems relative to the voltage and current limits of such cables. These problems are directly associated with the fixed amount of capacitance inherent in long cable lines. As a result, large charging currents are characteristic...
