dynamics of pre-Columbian Spondylus trade across the South American Central Pacific Coast
Title
The dynamics of pre-Columbian Spondylus trade across the South American Central Pacific Coast.
Creator
Martin, Alexander Javier., Florida Atlantic University, Kennedy, William J.
Abstract/Description
This thesis provides an analysis of the archeological remains of Spondylus in the Central Pacific Coast of South America. The frequency of occurrence, spatial distribution and cultural context are compared both geographically and temporally to establish the reason for the trade of Spondylus, what form this exchange took through what routes it moved, and how it evolved through time. The sample strongly supports a scenario in which Spondylus trade with Peru stayed relatively small scale and...
Show moreThis thesis provides an analysis of the archeological remains of Spondylus in the Central Pacific Coast of South America. The frequency of occurrence, spatial distribution and cultural context are compared both geographically and temporally to establish the reason for the trade of Spondylus, what form this exchange took through what routes it moved, and how it evolved through time. The sample strongly supports a scenario in which Spondylus trade with Peru stayed relatively small scale and unsophisticated through most of its existence as a series of informal commercial transactions by neighboring communities. It is not until Moche V in the Moche Valley, and the subsequent Chimu occupation, that a revolution in the exploitation of this resource occurs with a sudden increase in site frequency, a proliferation of iconographic depictions, the appearance of ritual contexts, and the appearance of a state organized redistribution infrastructure (around Chan Chan).

THE STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VISUAL WORKING MEMORY IN THE MONKEY FRONTOPARIETAL NETWORK

THE STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VISUAL WORKING MEMORY IN THE MONKEY FRONTOPARIETAL NETWORK.

Abstract/Description
Working memory is a mental workspace which utilizes short and long-term memory to maintain and manipulate information. It is crucial in enabling cognitive control and is largely controlled by interactions within and between frontal and parietal cortices. Recent work has identified visual nonspatial, spatial, and visuospatial working memory spectral characteristics of the local field potential through simultaneous recordings from various areas across the monkey frontoparietal network.

Show moreWorking memory is a mental workspace which utilizes short and long-term memory to maintain and manipulate information. It is crucial in enabling cognitive control and is largely controlled by interactions within and between frontal and parietal cortices. Recent work has identified visual nonspatial, spatial, and visuospatial working memory spectral characteristics of the local field potential through simultaneous recordings from various areas across the monkey frontoparietal network. However, the reports are minimal in number, and there is no clear narrative tying together the heterogenous functionality of the characteristics. Here, a new spectral model of monkey visual working memory is proposed to address these shortcomings. It highlights functional roles for low, mid, and high frequency bands. Next, the organization of structural connectivity which gives rise to these spectral characteristics is investigated. A new binary association matrix representing connections in the frontoparietal network is proposed. A graph theoretic analysis on the matrix found that a 3-node dynamical relaying M9 motif was a fundamental building block of the network. It is optimally structured for the synchrony found in the spectral model. The network was also found to have a small-world architecture, which confers the integration and specialization of function required by visual working memory. Afterwards, three hypotheses generated by the spectral model are tested on non-spatial data. The low and mid band hypotheses were supported by evidence, while the high band hypothesized activity was not observed. This adds credibility to the roles identified in the model for the low and mid band and identifies a need for further investigation of the high band role. Finally, opportunities to expand the spectral model, analyze the M9 motif, and further test the model are explored. In the future, the spectral model could evolve to apply its predictions to humans in the pursuit of treatments for neurological disorders.
