Siemens's account of the Basin's eighteenth century (chapter 5) is based largely on the writings (and map making) of a military engineer, Miguel Corral as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Siemens's account of the Basin's eighteenth century (chapter 5) is based largely on the writings (and map making) of a military engineer, Miguel Corral. These are the first maps of the area with recognizable, modern conventions. Mountainous relief, rivers, other shaded topography and vegetation provide improvements to seventeenth-century renditions that lacked consistent orientation, scale, and other references. By this time, however, \"ethnocentricity has virtually erased Indian toponymy. . . .\" Military considerations predominated and the secrecy guarding Spain's possessions permeates the accounts. Ranching, the enduring motif of the Gulf Coast, flourished.read more

Book ChapterDOI
An outline of North American deglaciation with emphasis on central and northern Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present revised maps of North American deglaciation at 500-year and finer resolution, which represent an updating of a series prepared nearly two decades ago for the INQUA 1987 Congress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resource intensification and resource depression in the Pacific Northwest of North America : A zooarchaeological review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the 10,000-year-old faunal record in the Pacific Northwest to test predictions drawn from models of resource intensification, resource depression and hunter-gatherer organizational strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene 14C dates form archaeological sites in Chile: Critical chronological issues for the initial peopling of the region
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of 14C information for archaeological sites in Chile between 13,000 and 7000 BP assesses the consistency of information on the early settlement of the region.
Dissertation
Lithic technologies of the Discovery Islands: materials, stone tool production, and communities of skilled practitioners
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the findings of a diachronic analysis of three lithic assemblages from Quadra Island, British Columbia, using qualitative and quantitative methods including macroscopic lithic analysis, thin section petrography, X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry, and morphometrics to operationalize these theoretical foundations.
Dissertation
Projectile point assemblage variability at the Paleoindian Mackenzie 1 site, near Thunder Bay, Ontario / by Samantha Markham.
TL;DR: This paper used an attribute analysis approach to typological analysis that will permit identification of significant patterned variation of the 380 projectile points recovered, which will challenge or support the definition of the Late Paleoindian Lakehead Complex and Interlakes Composite.
