Abstract/Description
The purpose of this research project is to determine if any correlation exists between ecological factors and the settlement patterns exhibited within Townships 18 and 19 North, Range 93 West, of the Wamsutter Block Area Survey, Carbon County, Wyoming. The Wamsutter project area, located in a region known as the Red Desert, lies mostly in the Great Divide Basin and extends slightly into the Washakie Basin of south-central Wyoming. The environmental effect on cultural adaptations may be...
Show moreThe purpose of this research project is to determine if any correlation exists between ecological factors and the settlement patterns exhibited within Townships 18 and 19 North, Range 93 West, of the Wamsutter Block Area Survey, Carbon County, Wyoming. The Wamsutter project area, located in a region known as the Red Desert, lies mostly in the Great Divide Basin and extends slightly into the Washakie Basin of south-central Wyoming. The environmental effect on cultural adaptations may be reflected in the archaeological remains. Prior to the Wamsutter survey project, this area was the subject of several surveys by various institutions. The previous surveys were limited compared with the massive and intensive undertaking of this project. It is hoped that through this investigation the utility of the large data base generated by contract archaeology will be demonstrated.

The Manteño of the Cloud Forest: Settlement Patterns and Spatial Analysis of Manteño Stone Architecture in the Las Tusas River Valley in Manabí, Ecuador

The Manteño of the Cloud Forest: Settlement Patterns and Spatial Analysis of Manteño Stone Architecture in the Las Tusas River Valley in Manabí, Ecuador.
Creator
Garzón-Oechsle, Andrés E., Brown, Clifford T., Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
The present study identifies settlement patterns of the Manteño culture within the cloud forest of southern Manabí by surveying, recording and analyzing the stone architecture found within the drainage basin of the Las Tusas River, Ecuador. The statistical methods used were: Triangulated Irregular Networks or TIN (for topography interpretations), K-means (to determine natural groups for structures based on their dimensions, shape, and wall thickness), Ripley’s K (to determine spatial nature...
Show moreThe present study identifies settlement patterns of the Manteño culture within the cloud forest of southern Manabí by surveying, recording and analyzing the stone architecture found within the drainage basin of the Las Tusas River, Ecuador. The statistical methods used were: Triangulated Irregular Networks or TIN (for topography interpretations), K-means (to determine natural groups for structures based on their dimensions, shape, and wall thickness), Ripley’s K (to determine spatial nature of these groups) and Kernel Density (to visualize their spatial organization). The cloud forest ecotone of southern Manabí was an anthropogenic landscape during the late Integration period. The alluvial valleys of the upper Rio Blanco drainage basin do not represent a hinterland or a periphery occupation but a series of Manteño nucleated settlements raised on terraces and interconnected by strings of linear settlements and dispersed settlements throughout the rugged terrain of this landscape.

Glades period settlement patterns in the Everglades culture area
Title
Glades period settlement patterns in the Everglades culture area.
Creator
Callsen, Paul., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
The manner in which human settlements are arranged across the landscape holds clues to a society's internal social relationships and may indicate how a society fits into its environment. This research investigates settlement patterns during the formative pre-historic periods in Southeast Florida, the three Glades Periods (BC 500- AD 1750). During this time span, the inhabitants of the region adapted to a changing climate and environment by occupying places that were conducive to their...
Show moreThe manner in which human settlements are arranged across the landscape holds clues to a society's internal social relationships and may indicate how a society fits into its environment. This research investigates settlement patterns during the formative pre-historic periods in Southeast Florida, the three Glades Periods (BC 500- AD 1750). During this time span, the inhabitants of the region adapted to a changing climate and environment by occupying places that were conducive to their particular hunter-gatherer way of life. However, while the Glades people moved from one locale to another, they never altered the manner in which they primarily sought sustenance; fishing and hunting. Evidence suggests substantial population increases beginning in the Glades II Period and shift of habitations due to flooding of earlier and lower sites.
