Biostratigraphically and chronostratigraphically important diatoms from the Milky River Formation, Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska, imply an age range of 5.4-5.5 Ma for the oldest North Pacific Cenozoic occurrence of the marine bivalve mollusk Astarte, which migrated from the Arctic Ocean into the North Pacific when Bering Strait first flooded. The data presented here are a refinement of the age range of 4.8-5.5 Ma reported earlier and imply that Bering Strait first opened very near the...

The data presented here are a refinement of the age range of 4.8-5.5 Ma reported earlier and imply that Bering Strait first opened very near the end of the Miocene at 5.32 Ma.

- Title
- Eocene gastropods of Western Kamchatka- implications for high-latitude North Pacific biostratigraphy and biogeography.
- Creator
- Oleinik, Anton E.
- Abstract/Description
-
Fossiliferous rocks of the Snatolskaya and Kovachinskaya formations comprise a Middle and Late Eocene shallow-marine record of the central part of western Kamchatka. Gastropod assemblages of these formations contain taxa that are conspecific with those in Paleogene strata of western North America and Japan, as well as a large percentage of endemic species. Analysis of the latitudinal ranges and worldwide occurrences of gastropod genera from these formations show the presence of three...
Show moreFossiliferous rocks of the Snatolskaya and Kovachinskaya formations comprise a Middle and Late Eocene shallow-marine record of the central part of western Kamchatka. Gastropod assemblages of these formations contain taxa that are conspecific with those in Paleogene strata of western North America and Japan, as well as a large percentage of endemic species. Analysis of the latitudinal ranges and worldwide occurrences of gastropod genera from these formations show the presence of three biogeographic components: cosmopolitan, North Pacific, and endemic. No Tethyan, or circumtropical genera are present in these Kamchatkan Middle and Late Eocene gastropod faunas. Changes in the geographic distribution of North Pacific gastropod assemblages through the Middle and Late Eocene indicate that only eastern Pacific Tethyan taxa were subjected to latitudinal range reduction. The distribution of cosmopolitan and North Pacific elements did not significantly change from the Middle to Late Eocene, which suggests a relatively stable environment and climate stability during that time. High-latitude Eocene gastropod assemblages from Western Kamchatka demonstrate a high level of endemism at the species level and a low-level of endemism on the genus level. This pattern is thought to be a result of the unrestricted migration of cosmopolitan taxa northward along the shallow-marine margin of the Pacific rim.

To some, the near Apu Campana (tutelary mountain) protects the fishermen–surfers form the dangers of sea fishing.

Show moreTraditional Peruvian fishermen–surfers from Huanchaco Beach have been surfing the waves of the Pacific Ocean and fishing from their caballitos de totora (reed fishing boats) since ancient times. To some, the near Apu Campana (tutelary mountain) protects the fishermen–surfers form the dangers of sea fishing. And according to the forensic iconographical (corresponding human remains and iconography) and ethnohistorical data, the fishermen–surfers or Huanchaqueros have been fishing and surfing in the waters for at least 1900 years. Huanchaco Beach’s modern events such as The Sea Festival, The Salty Foot Contest, The Saint Peter Festival, and various surfing events are related to the Mama Kocha or Mother Ocean. Ancient divine beings like Ai Apaec and Takaynamo are also significant elements in the lives of the fishermen–surfers who are the descendants of the Mochica–Chimú people, and whose fishing and surfing activities revolve around the Mama Kocha’s temperament.

- Abstract/Description

Archaeological Site 035 Tomb, located in Salango, Ecuador contains remains associated with the Manteno culture which flourished during the Integration period from A.D. 500 until the Spanish Conquest in 1532. Although agriculture played a role in the diet of these people, marine resources were utilized for both food and trade.

Show moreArchaeological Site 035 Tomb, located in Salango, Ecuador contains remains associated with the Manteno culture which flourished during the Integration period from A.D. 500 until the Spanish Conquest in 1532. Although agriculture played a role in the diet of these people, marine resources were utilized for both food and trade. Osteological remains of at least 14 individuals were excavated from this site and examined to determine the variation in the population of this region. The following four sites were used as comparisons to the Salango site based on their geographical location and their temporal relationship to Salango: Real Alto, Ayalan, La Libertad, and La Tolita. These sites were analyzed to determine how agriculture and environment played a role in their health and nutrition. This study indicates that pre-Colombian cultures of the region may not have been entirely integrated and that the various populations may have engaged in varied lifestyles.

New data on human skeletal remains from Site 35 in Salango, Ecuador is combined with existing data presented by Jastremski (2006) to compile a more comprehensive report about the health conditions of the people. Site 35, which is associated with the Manteño culture that flourished in the Integration period from A.D. 500 – 1532, has been determined to comprise a singular population that is represented by a minimum of 27 individuals. In addition to more comprehensive conclusions about Site 35,...
Show moreNew data on human skeletal remains from Site 35 in Salango, Ecuador is combined with existing data presented by Jastremski (2006) to compile a more comprehensive report about the health conditions of the people. Site 35, which is associated with the Manteño culture that flourished in the Integration period from A.D. 500 – 1532, has been determined to comprise a singular population that is represented by a minimum of 27 individuals. In addition to more comprehensive conclusions about Site 35, this thesis uses the data from Site 35 in an extended comparison of health among prehistoric sites from six additional sites to observe general trends over time and across geography. Through an indepth analysis of distinct health traits, the general conclusion matches previous reports that the overall quality of health in Ecuador declined over time. However, the present analysis shows a less dramatic decline for coastal sites than for inland sites.
