Abstract

For over a century, archaeologists have investigated the vast network of prehistoric Hohokam canal irrigation systems in the lower Salt River and middle Gila River valleys, as well as in other areas of southern Arizona. However, documentation of the agricultural fields in which prehistoric farmers irrigated their crops generally was lacking until the last 25 years. This is largely a result of the difficulty in identifying ancient fields, since they are not visible on the surface and have been obscured or destroyed by natural landscape processes as well as historic and modern disturbances. More recent archaeological investigations have revealed ancient irrigated fields through innovative methods and excavation techniques. The fields were constructed both by Hohokam irrigators (450–1450 CE) as well as by farmers from preceding cultural traditions during the Early Agricultural period (2100 BCE–50 CE). These discoveries occurred during projects conducted in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. In this chapter, I highlight these important studies that have expanded the view of ancient agricultural landscapes in southern Arizona. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

10. Warfare and big game hunting: flaked-stone projectile points along the middle Gila River in Arizona

Author

Subjects
Big game hunting, Projectile points -- Usage, Archaeology -- Usage -- Analysis -- Research, Anthropology/archeology/folklore
Abstract

Ethnohistorical and ethnographic observations from around the world indicate that projectiles were often made differently for warfare and hunting. Using experiential archaeology and analysis of a thousand years' worth of data from the middle Gila River in Arizona, the authors argue that side notched arrow points were produced for hunting large animals and were designed to be retrieved and reused, while unnotched points were intended for single use and for another purpose: to kill people. The data suggests furthermore that the region witnessed a steady increase in levels of violence during the period under study. Keywords: Gila River, Arizona, Archaic, pre-Classic, Classic, historic, flaked-stone projectile points, experimental archaeology, warfare, hunting, Introduction Ethnographic documentation from throughout the world indicates that stone projectile points were generally designed for hunting big game animals (>40kg) or for use in warfare, and arrow tips intended [...]

12. The Issue of Item and Test Variance for Criterion-Referenced Tests.

Author

Woodson, M. I. Charles E.

Abstract

It has been argued that item variance and test variance are not necessary characteristics for criterion-referenced tests, although they are necessary for norm-referenced tests. This position is in error because it considers sample statistics as the criteria for evaluating items and tests. Within a particular sample, an item or test may have no variance, but in the population for which the test was designed and evaluated, both items and tests must have variance. (Author)

13. Classical Test Theory and Criterion-Referenced Scales.

Author

Woodson, M. I. Charles E.

Abstract

The item (difficulty and discrimination) and test (reliability and validity) statistics in classical test theory are highly dependent upon the calibration sample of individuals used. The estimates of item and test parameters in classical test theory is valid within a range of interest along the characteristic measured. Generally, this range of interest is the distribution of the characteristic in some population, and the calibration sample used is intended to be a random sample from that population. In such populations, the extremes usually are poorly represented, and the parameter estimates are relatively poor at these extremes. For criterion-referenced scales, the range of interest is defined by a range of the characteristic rather than the distribution of that characteristic in some population. The calibration sample must be representative of that range of interest. When the range of interest is appropriately defined, an appropriate calibration sample may be selected, and classical test theory applies directly to criterion-referenced scales. (Author/DB)

Subjects
PIGMENTS, MASS spectrometry, NUCLEAR activation analysis
Abstract

Worldwide applications of ochre analysis continue to develop at a rapid pace, highlighting a number of analytical and interpretative issues. As regional source databases continue to grow, researchers have turned to the thornier issues of source allocation. In this study, we utilize LA–ICP–MS and NAA to examine archaeological pigments, ceramic paints and experimental tiles from geological sources and Hohokam ceramics in central Arizona. Archaeological pigments and paint on sherds are successfully source matched based on trace element content, with implications for understanding paint production, sociocultural relations governing trade in pigment and the use of different resource landscapes over time.

27. Blackwater Village at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: Akimel O'Odham Perseverance and Resiliency.

Author

Loendorf, Chris, Fertelmes, Craig, DeJong, David H., Kyle Woodson, M., and Lewis, Barnaby V.

Abstract

Much of what is known regarding Historic period Native American communities is based on studying documents that were written by non-indigenous peoples. However, archaeological excavations in a portion of the Blackwater Village within the Gila River Indian Community provide another perspective on Native American life ways within south-central Arizona during the late 1800s. The latter nineteenth century was a pivotal time for the Akimel O'Odham (i.e., Pima) who have long lived within the Phoenix Basin, and they experienced dramatic changes in their subsistence strategies, settlement patterns, craft production, and other cultural practices during this time. These recent investigations demonstrate that the Akimel O'Odham were not passive recipients of Euroamerican culture, and instead they chose to adopt some aspects of non-native practices while at the same time retaining important traditions. As a result, the Akimel O'Odham have successfully maintained their society in the face of tremendous hardships, and Blackwater Village remains a vibrant settlement to this day.

45. The Issue of Item and Test Variance for Criterion-Referenced Tests: A Reply

Author

Woodson, M. I. Charles E.

Abstract

The basis for selection of the calibration sample determines the kind of scale which will be developed. A random sample from a population of individuals leads to a norm-referenced scale, and a sample representative of abilities of a range of characteristics leads to a criterion-referenced scale.

Subjects
PROTEASE inhibitors, PROSTATE
Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether protease inhibitors were a constituent of secretions from the different lobes of the rat prostate. A reverse zymography method was used employing gelatin substrate-SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to detect inhibitors of trypsin in secretions of the ventral, lateral, and dorsal prostate lobes of the Sprague-Dawley rat. Inhibitors of approximately 34 and 63 kDa were detected in ventral prostate secretion and of about 63 and 73 kDa were found in lateral lobe secretion. However, no inhibitor activities were detected in secretions of the dorsal lobe. The protease inhibitors of ventral prostate secretion were partially purified by preparatory isoelectric focusing and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 34-kDa (pI 5.6-6.4) inhibitor had a higher activity against trypsin, whereas the 63-kDa (pI 6.4-7.0) inhibitor was more active against chymotrypsin. The rat prostate appears to have a lobe-specific distribution of secretory serine protease inhibitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

49. ANGIONTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME ACTIVITY IN DUNNING RAT PROSTATE TUMOR

Author

Wilson, M. J., Mack, M. S., Woodson, M., and Sinha, A. A.

Abstract

A dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase activity in the Dunning rat prostate tumor was characterized. This enzyme demonstrated the most prominent properties of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE): that is, it was stimulated by NaCl and Co 2+ and was potently inhibited by captopril. The enzyme solubilized by Triton X-100 had a molecular mass of 110 kDa as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The specific activity of ACE did not change with castration, indicating that ACE activities are not controlled by androgen. The role of ACE in the prostate and its tumors is not understood, but the ability of this enzyme to hydrolyze a number of bioactive peptides suggests that it may function in controlling the molecular forms or activity of regulatory peptides.
