In this article we review what is currently known about the early occupation of the southern Peruvian coast and highlands. We focus our review on the Terminal Pleistocene sites of Quebrada Jaguay and Quebrada Tacahuay (coast) and Pucuncho (highlands), and we compare them with the few other sites known from this period. We cover chronology, settlement pattern, specialization, and the interregional connections during this first period of human settlement.En este artículo revisamos lo que se sabe en la actualidad acerca de la ocupación temprana de la costa y sierra del sur peruano. Enfocamos nuestro estudio en los sitios del Pleistoceno Final de Quebrada Jaguay y Quebrada Tacahuay, ubicados en la costa, y Pucuncho, situado en la sierra, y los comparamos con los pocos otros yacimientos conocidos de esta época. Tratamos la cronología, el patrón de asentamiento, la especialización y las conexiones interregionales de este primer período del asentamiento humano.

During our archaeological surveys in the upper reaches of the Palpa valleys, at the western slope of the Andes, we identified and registered a large number of settlements of the Paracas culture, most of them dating to the Middle Paracas(550-350 BC) and Late Paracas (350-200 BC) period. Of special interest are several large sites with stone buildings with circular ground plans, similar to the shape of a flower. The center of these architectural complexes consists of acircular or crescent shaped sunken patio, around which are arranged D-shaped enclosures with small terraces in front of the straight wall.Through our large scale excavations in Cutamalla, one of the largest and best preserved settlements in the area, we were able to document in detail this new type of architecture and to define its formal and constructive features, as well as its cultural affiliation and the activities carried out within the structures.All the data recovered so far indicate that these circular structures have to be considered as a new architectural type of the Late Paracas period. The distribution of this new architectural pattern is limited to a part of the highlands of Lucanas, Ayacucho, and, as far as we know, seems to be unique in the southern highlands of Peru.Trabajos de prospección arqueológica realizados en la parte alta de los valles de Palpa, en la vertiente occidental de los Andes, nos han permitido identificar y registrar un importante número de asentamientos pertenecientes a la culturaParacas, de manera especial, aquellos pertenecientes a las épocas Paracas Medio (550 a 350 a.C.) y Paracas Tardío (350 a 200 a.C.), entre los que destacan varios sitios bastante grandes que presentan construcciones de piedra que conforman estructuras arquitectónicas en forma de flor. Se trata de construcciones en donde se pueden distinguir patios hundidos de forma de media luna o de forma circular, alrededor de los cuales se disponen recintos en forma de «D» que presentan pequeñas terrazas delante del muro recto.Recientes excavaciones en área realizadas en Cutamalla, uno de los asentamientos más grandes y mejor conservados de la zona, nos han permitido documentar con detalle este tipo de estructuras arquitectónicas, y conocer sus rasgos formales y constructivos, su filiación cultural, así como las actividades que se realizaban en ellas.Todos los datos indican que las estructuras arquitectónicas en forma de flor constituyen un nuevo patrón arquitectónico Paracas Tardío, cuya distribución se limita a una parte de la sierra de Lucanas, Ayacucho, y que, hasta el momento, viene a ser único en toda la sierra sur del Perú.

There are a number of geochemically, geographically and, in most cases, stratigraphically distinct magma types around the igneous centres of Tayvallich and Loch Awe which represent separate phases of magmatism. These have been characterised by trace element geochemistry. Relationships have been established between some of the magmas, however the full range of rocks in the area (from alkaline to tholeiitic) cannot be accounted for by melting or fractional crystallisation processes, implying more than one melt source for the igneous activity. Extension across the area produced a number of parallel basins, but movement along the Cruachan Lineament allowed rotational opening of the Loch Awe basin which became a major volcanic centre. During this period, the centre of igneous activity moved in successive stages from the Tayvallich Peninsula to the Loch Awe area, producing a series of magmas, ranging from alkaline to transitional and tholeiitic. The data confirm a general increase in melt fraction and a source which was being gradually modified. A similar series can be seen on Islay and Jura. There is a strong correlation between different magma types and individual basins and sub-basins, from which we conclude that the magmatism was controlled by basin formation and evolution. The igneous activity was therefore passive and was driven by the extensional tectonics prevailing at that time. The relationship between the Green Beds and the Loch Avich Volcanics has been re-assessed. The igneous component in the Green Beds is derived from erosion of Loch Awe lavas, and the younger Loch Avich Lavas represent a final, minor episode of igneous activity. Their anomalous geochemistry is due to contamination of the small volume melt prior to eruption.

Watts, Natasha Alice. "Investing for impact : finance and farming in the southern highlands of Tanzania". Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/271887.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
African agriculture has attracted increased global policy attention over the last 10 years due to concerns over both food security and economic growth. In this context, social impact investing (SII)—where investors use financial models to achieve positive social impacts as well as financial returns—is presented as a viable means of financing agricultural development in the context of reduced public funding This thesis is concerned with how SII (and its understandings, assumptions, and models of agricultural development) interact with smallholder farming in Tanzania. I unpack how the concept of SII takes shape, how it is translated into the Tanzanian context, and how it interacts with farmer livelihoods through a case study of Cheetah Development in Lower Kilolo District. I take a political ecology approach drawing mainly on qualitative methods. The concept of assemblages is employed to investigate how diverse actors enter into relationships, how those relationships hold together, and how they fall apart. I focus on three key analytical themes: power (discursive, disciplinary, and institutional), moral economies, and the role of socio-material entities. My findings show that SII is being driven by the pursuit for new profit frontiers and concerns over business risks, and also by a belief that a more ethical capitalist economy can be built. This has resulted in a narrative of ‘Africa rising’. How exactly ‘social impact’ is being defined and the motivations for pursuing it, however, differ widely within SII. To investigate how agricultural SII is translated in Tanzania I focus on Cheetah Development, an American social impact investor that provides agricultural inputs on credit to smallholder farmers and attempts to involve them in new maize value chains. Cheetah’s model identifies existing maize value chains centred around middlemen as features of an immoral capitalism. It also views smallholders as not only lacking market access and inputs, but also lacking in business-orientated mindsets. The Cheetah model builds various mechanisms to discipline farmers and render them bankable. Through examining farmer livelihoods, I find that farmers conduct diverse livelihood activities, and maize plays a variety of roles in village life. Farmer livelihoods are underpinned by a moral economy involving flexible relations of borrowing and lending. I conclude that assumptions of ethical capitalism embedded in the Cheetah model clash with farmer livelihoods and their conceptions of just socio-economic relationships.

This thesis is a contribution to the debate about the emergence of politically complex societies in the southern Brazilian highlands from a regional, community and household approach. At the regional level, I compare settlement patterns of the Southern Proto-Jê (Taquara/Itararé Tradition) in different areas, developing a model of territories structured around central places – represented by dense pit house villages and oversized pit houses. I test this model with new survey data from a yet unexplored region. At the centre of the pilot area, the site Baggio 1 – a dense, well-planned settlement focused around an oversized pit house – was chosen for excavations. I frame the discussion about the function of oversized structures in the broader theoretical debates about aggrandising vs corporate strategies in early complex societies and their archaeological correlates. Thus, the excavations at Baggio 1 were targeted at understanding community organisation, functional variation between pit houses of distinct sizes, and inter-household differentiation. I demonstrate how the oversized House 1 emerged as the founding structure in the settlement, hosting ceremonies of house renewal during the first part of the site’s history. Later, as the settlement grew, House 1 persisted as the social epicentre of the community. However, major differences emerged between the hilltop, formally arranged residential sector around House 1 and the periphery of the site. Although the earlier house renewal ceremonies were no longer practised, the inhabitants of House 1 asserted their presence in the same dwelling for over two centuries, maintaining the oversized structure as a conspicuous mark in the landscape and potentially deriving special status from their descent of the site’s founders. The excavations at Baggio 1 reveal a complex interplay of corporate and aggrandising strategies to power in the southern Brazilian highlands.

In this study, farm forestry decision criteria were elicited by adopting a behavioral decision-making study approach from households in ten Peasant Associations of the study district. Major decision objectives, available alternatives, constraints, and the likelihood of the chance events were elicited through a questionnaire survey, participatory observation, detailed discussion, and review of archival information. It was found that farmers generally, plant various tree and shrub species for meeting various household needs and for generating cash incomes. The goal of cash generation is for sustenance of livelihoods through fulfillment of various basic obligations and overcoming unforeseen contingencies. The three most economically important tree/shrub species were eucalypts, coffee, and t?chat. Eucalypt wood covers nearly all the construction needs and constitutes a substantial part of the fuelwood consumptions. Coffee and t?chat are vital sources of cash income and makeup an important part of daily diets. Growing of eucalypts for cash income is mainly constrained by lack of access road, low farm gate prices, high competition with food crops for soil nutrients and moisture, and shortage of land and labor. The household uses and cash values of coffee are generally, undermined by high incidence of berry disease and lack of manure. Financial benefits of t?chat are weakened by high local tax rates. The logistic regression analysis confirms that agro-ecological zone, sex of household head, number of eucalypt trees owned, and age of household head represent important explanatory variables that explain farmers readiness to expand eucalypt woodlots. The model so constructed correctly predicted 84.1 % of the households that established additional eucalypt woodlots mainly for cash generation. The total number of eucalypt trees owned by households is significantly related to the attitude of the household head towards eucalypts, wealth status, and landholding size of the household. Financial viability of eucalypt woodlots was assessed through both methods of conventional economic calculations and Chayanovian calculations. Both methods confirmed the highly lucrative markets of eucalypt poles as compared to agricultural crop production. This is mainly because of lack of access to more profitable production techniques and low productivity of agricultural crops per unit area. Otherwise, farm gate prices of eucalypt poles are far from being attractive and outperforming that of agricultural crops.

Rapid changes in regulation, catchment water quality, and public perception are the main driving forces towards more sustainable dairy farming in the Southern Highlands, NSW. A study was undertaken to assess the performance of two established waste management systems in terms of on-farm nutrient control/containment. The systems were installed in the mid-1990s as part of a pilot program to develop best management practice (BMP) pollution control techniques; however they are now considered to be below current BMP standards. The first was a treatment system consisting of stabilisation ponds and constructed wetlands designed to provide low-energy treatment before effluent is (legally) discharged into a creek. The second was a direct application to land system that irrigates raw wastewater onto a designated paddock throughout the year under all weather conditions. Seasonal monitoring of the ponds and wetland treatment system indicated effective pollutant removal throughout the year, achieving net pollutant removals of 94%, 87%, 93%, 67% and 25% for TSS, COD, BOD5, TKN and TP, respectively. A theoretical water balance revealed that addition of 4700 L/d of uncontaminated water was causing notable impairment to the removal efficiency of the system. The performance of the system was also inhibited by excessive sludge accumulation in the anaerobic pond stage, and deficient vegetation, algal growth and P saturation of the substrate in the constructed wetlands. Performance data from the ponds and wetlands were fitted to flow-adjusted first order complete-mix and plug flow models, respectively. Application of the Arrhenius temperature dependence equation revealed that removal of TSS, COD and BOD5 in the ponds was positively related to temperature (θ = 1.209, 1.182 and 1.126, respectively), while temperature had the converse effect on TS and COD removal in the wetlands (θ = 0.966 and 0.951, respectively). Disposal of the effluent from the treatment system is allowing the release of 350 kg/yr of nitrogen and 88 kg/yr of phosphorus directly into a natural creek, which is resulting in measurable degradation of water quality downstream of the discharge point. Upstream TKN and TP concentrations averaged 0.82 and 0.06 mg/L, respectively, while downstream of the discharge the mean concentrations for the same parameters were 4.13 and 1.55 mg/L, respectively. Soil from the land application site was intensively sampled to obtain informative data on chemical properties as affected by effluent treatment. To facilitate the assessment an untreated site was sampled to provide comparative data from land that is utilised according to a typical pasture management regime. Surface runoff was also captured from both the effluent-treated (treated) and untreated sites to investigate nutrient export from the waste application site. The general outcome of the soil analyses was to show that wastewater application is positively affecting the available nutrient pool, but on the whole is exhibiting no greater impact on soil properties than other land use factors such as intensive stocking and pasture improvement. Significant increases in soil nutrient concentrations resulting from waste application were associated with more mobile plant-available nutrient species including extractable phosphorus, nitrate and potassium, which are mostly by-products from natural decomposition of the organic fraction of the applied waste. Otherwise, waste application had no bearing on the net nutrient status of the soil in terms of TP, TN, CEC, and organic matter. Runoff monitoring indicated that mean concentrations of all forms of nutrients were significantly higher in surface runoff from the treated site than in runoff from the untreated site. TKN, NH3-N, TP and DRP concentrations averaged 3.36, 0.77, 0.89 and 0.69 mg/L, respectively, from the untreated site, while the same parameters averaged 20.56, 8.60, 7.77 and 6.44 mg/L, respectively, on the treated site. Concentrations were related to rainfall quantity but not intensity indicating that mechanisms of desorption and dissolution governed nutrient export from effluent treated pasture. Thus contamination of surface runoff was indicative of short-term impacts related to direct wash-off of nutrients from applied waste rather than endemic problems associated with over enrichment of the receiving soil. The evaluation identified major shortcomings associated with the two forms of waste management system under review. Significant modifications to both systems are required in order to achieve complete nutrient containment as required to satisfy regulatory standards. Further research is recommended to determine whether adherence to best management practice (BMP) will prevent nutrient losses and to improve strategic distribution of the nutrient content of dairy shed waste.

This research was conducted at the La Raya experiment station, Cusco, Peru (4200 m elevation, 15°S latitude, and 70°W longitude) using 60 Corriedale, and 60 Criollo ewes during three consecutive years (April 1981 - March 1984). Age, and weight at puberty, age at physical maturity, and the effects of breed, age (physically immature and mature), year, and month were measured on body weight, incidence of estrus, and incidence and rate of ovulation. There was a significant difference (P.05). Even though Criollo e wes weighed less than Corriedale, they attained puberty earlier, and showed less seasonality in estrus and ovulated throughout the year than the Corriedale.

The Monaro Volcanic Province (MVP) is an Oligocene-Eocene intraplate basaltic lava
field situated in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales between the towns of
Cooma and Bombala. The lava pile of the MVP consists of basal sub-alkali rocks
(olivine tholeiite, transitional basalt) capped by a number of thick ankaramite lavas,
above which lie less numerous alkali rocks including alkali olivine basalt, nepheline
basanite and olivine nephelinite. Intercalated with the lava flows are massive and
matrix-supported alkali and ankaramitic hyaloclastites, alkali pillow basalts, rare tuffs,
bauxitic weathering profiles, lacustrine sediments and reworked late Cretaceous to early
Tertiary river gravels. The lava pile is intruded through by numerous volcanic plugs
and dykes and rare maars. Volcanic centres are principally concentrated in two NW-SE
trending zones parallel to major crustal-scale fractures in the Palaeozoic basement.
Centres almost always lie over the intersections of two or more conjugate strike-slip or
transverse fractures. The stratigraphy, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr and Nd isotopic
signatures of rocks from the MVP indicate magma-genesis initially from an
asthenospheric source with EM1 characteristics, gradually becoming more lithospheric
with DM source characteristics. The long-lived nature of the MVP rules out a mantle
plume-type source for magmas. Instead, a diapiric source is envisaged. The MVP
mantle xenolith suite appears to have equilibrated at slightly higher temperatures for
given pressures than the Newer Volcanics Province suite suggesting the palaeogeotherm
for the MVP was slightly hotter than the "South East Australian" geotherm. Large
amounts of amphibole (pargasitic hornblende, pargasite, ferroan pargasite and
kaersutite) occuring within the more silica-undersaturated rocks of the MVP, and rarely
within Iherzolitic xenoliths, are interpreted to have formed as selvages on mantle veins
in contact with peridotite beneath the MVP. Amphiboles were later sampled by
magmas rising through the same conduits and were brought to the surface. MVP
ankaramite lavas feature < 2cm clinopyroxene porphyrocrysts, the cores of which are
shown to have crystallised at ca. 18 kb pressure or ca. 54 km depth. This defines the
base of the local crust within the MVP region. Data from the MVP support a landscape
evolution model based on the isostatic rise of the Southern Highlands due to
voluminous magmatic underplating since the Cretaceous. Data further support limited
denudation since the Early Tertiary based on a pulsatory but high palaeogeotherm.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
One essential feature of African iron production process is that it is greatly variable in culture and technology. The early research focused on some themes: origins, culture, and how iron was produced, which were investigated using archaeological, ethno-archaeological, and experimental methods. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic variation of iron and steel production in the southern highlands of Tanzania. I used field methods: ethnographic inquiry, surface and sub-surface survey, mapping, and excavation; and laboratory analytical techniques: firing, optical and electron microscopy, microanalysis, and X-ray fluorescence to investigate the research theme. The results indicate that there is a strong relationship between macro- and microscopic variation of iron and steel production in terms of the use technical ceramics with good refractory qualities, the presence of the three stage process in Ufipa and Unyiha, involving a refining stage between the smelting and smithing stages; the liquid slag handling techniques, the reduction efficiency, and the nature of the final products: soft iron and carbon-rich steel. Although there are macroscopic data on the use of forced- and natural-draft furnaces in the region, it is difficult to microscopically verify the air supply mechanisms in the region. This work recommends that in order to avoid the confusion on the three stage process and relationship between macro- and microscopic variation in iron and steel production, the role of matrix and provenance should be given due weight as laboratory analyses.

An investigation of the geological resources of the Southern Highlands was undertaken and over two hundred samples were collected and examined for possible use as stoneware ceramic ingredients. Thirty four of these samples were tested for possible use as clay body ingredients, while sixty five samples were selected for assessment as glaze ingredients. A wood fired kiln was built from firebricks produced from a local deposit of a white bauxite related material. Materials selected as a result of these tests were combined to create ceramic objects fired at stoneware temperatures. The most interesting result of the investigation was the discovery of a number of small weathered dykes and sills, samples from which were developed into workable ceramic clay bodies and glazes using a simple empirical testing procedure. A previously unknown excellent white translucent native porcelain stone or ‘bai tunze’ was discovered and developed into a workable porcelain body. Some iron stained porcelain bodies that ‘flashed’ red in the wood firing kiln were also developed. Exhibitions of the creative work produced were shown in the ‘Legge Gallery’, a Fine Art gallery in Sydney. Two critical reviews of those shows appeared in the magazine Craft Arts International, No. 64, 2005, pp 106-107 and The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 46 #1 pp 21-24. Several papers were published detailing various aspects of the research: “The Search for Raw Materials in the Southern Highlands” in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 41#3, pp 22-23; “Flotation – A method of refining useful minerals”, in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 41#3, pp 24-25; “Magic Dirt” in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 46 #1 pp 76-79; “New work from an old landscape”, in Ceramics Technical, 24, 2007. pp 45-52;“From the ground up”, in Ceramic review, issue 222, 2006, pp 54-55. The research concludes that the Southern Highlands of New South Wales is geologically rich in suitable materials for the production of stoneware ceramics and that there are a few specific bai tunze like materials that are very interesting and have considerable aesthetic potential. The research determined that these bai tunze like materials are potentially capable of being developed into clay bodies and glazes of great beauty.

Inclusive education is a recent phenomenon in the education system in Papua New Guinea. It is about giving equal educational opportunities to all children, whether with disabilities or not in the regular school or classroom. Schools are considered as social institutions that should endeavour to enhance all children's lives through appropriate teaching and learning practices. However, the school culture, which is generally defined as 'how things are done here' is vital for the promotion of inclusive practices. The main aim of this study was to identify the school cultural features and practices that influenced or did not influence inclusive education, and the impact on inclusion. Teachers and school administrators appeared to play a vital role in enhancing inclusive practices through their practices. The study was based on an interpretive/naturalistic research paradigm, the qualitative research approach and the case study methodology. Four schools were studied and categorised as rural and urban settings. The main purpose of categorisation was to identify some similarities and differences in terms of how inclusion was promoted in these schools. Teachers and school administrators were chosen as the main participants. The primary source of data collection was semi-structured interviews. Interview questions were developed for both teachers and school administrators respectively. A non-participant observation method was used as a support instrument to collect more data from selected research participants based on the preliminary interview data. The results suggested the existence of four broad school cultural features and practices. These included staff understanding of special and inclusive education concepts, leadership and organisation, school cultural features/practices and implications for staff, and policies. Teachers and school administrators appeared to have limited knowledge and understanding about what constitutes special and inclusive education practices. However, the school leadership, collaboration and inspection practices minimally influenced inclusive practices. At the same time other school cultural features such as the outcomes-based education curriculum and ecological assessment seemed to have the potential to influence the outcomes of the process of inclusion. The results suggest the value of Callan Services as a school support service agency to influence inclusive education in the Southern Highlands Province. It was noted that children with disabilities were already part of the education system. Though the teachers and school administrators claimed this to be inclusive education, according to the literature this was a manifestation of functional mainstreaming practices. The teachers and school administrators and the Department of Education at the provincial and national levels appeared to take less responsibility in disseminating information pertaining to inclusive practices. The teachers and school administrators received limited support and information from the national and provincial Departments of Education. Therefore, the special education policies developed at the national level had not trickled down to the school level. This situation created a gap between inclusive education policy and practice. One of the major channels of communication and connection was through the inspectors and their inspection practices, but this appeared to have been under-utilised.

From the eighteenth century, the material environment of the southern Scottish Highlands underwent radical change. This material change formed part of a wider process of social change known as Improvement. In this, a re-ordering of space within the house and throughout the wider landscape was intimately linked to change in the daily routines of the farming population and, thus, to change in the ways in which people related to each other. Prior to Improvement, people routinely experienced their world as part of the community of the farming township or as part of the family. Houses, settlements, and fields were organised in such a way as to maintain these forms of experience. Against this background, an ideology of clanship, that is of a wider community, and concepts of hereditary tenure appeared as common sense. Improvement sought to re-order routine in such a way as to privilege experience of the world as an individual, apart from the community and the family. With this achieved, an ideology of the individual and concepts of private property would in turn be privileged. Improvement sought, in this way, to introduce capitalism to the countryside of the southern Highlands. This thesis is in part an exploration of this process of Improvement through two case studies, in Kintyre and in Kilfinan parish. Changes to the material environment and to routine practice are traced for these areas; the intellectual context of Improvement, the Scottish Enlightenment, is discussed as the source of inspiration and justification for Improvement on the landowners part; and the specific motives of the various Improving landowners are explored as the process is restored to its specific social and historical contexts. However, to conceive of Improvement as imposed by a small group of landlords on a passive population is to misunderstand the dynamics of that process. As such, the penultimate chapter focuses on understanding how that population accepted, rejected or manipulated their landlord's initiatives in negotiating their position as occupants of the land. Improvement in practice took on specific local forms that were primarily defined in relation to the question of land rights. The narratives of Improvement constructed in what is to follow are of more than parochial interest. They form part of the global story of the emergence of capitalism and capitalist society. A major aim of this thesis is to consider how we should go about writing social histories and archaeologies of capitalism. There are two main conclusions that will be drawn. First, that capitalism (an ideology of the individual made knowable in routine practice) should be differentiated from capitalist society (where capitalism is widespread, but not necessarily universally or homogenously accepted). This distinction allows us to perceive alternative forms of social relationship within capitalist societies. In accepting the distinction, writing histories of capitalism involves considering how capitalism emerges and interacts with those alternative forms of social relationship in particular historical situations. The second main conclusion is that, in accepting the definition of capitalism given above, archaeology has a significant role in understanding capitalist societies as it has the material environment and routine practice as one of its basic concerns. It is in those environments and through that practice that the conditions allowing or denying acceptance of the ideology of the individual are created.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the underlying causes of food insecurity, famine in general and green famine in particular in the enset-dominant livelihood zones of Kambata land in southern Ethiopia, which are historically considered more resilient and less vulnerable to food insecurity and famine than other parts of Ethiopia. Given Ethiopia's long-standing history of food insecurity and famines, the discourse of food insecurity and famine is dominated by natural and demographic factors as the main causes. In order to unpack the multi-layered underlying causes of food insecurity in general and green famine in particular, the thesis adopts Sen's analytical framework of ‘entitlement to food'. Using multi-site qualitative research techniques, this thesis captures the perceptions of different actors at different levels about the causes of green famine, identifies the sources of livelihood vulnerability and the types of livelihood strategies undertaken by households in the study area. By systematically capturing and analysing these different aspects, the study concludes that the causes of green famine extend beyond the dominant narratives of drought and population growth, and that these factors alone cannot fully explain famine occurrence. Green famine is caused by a web of complex and intertwined policy-related, political, natural, socio-‐economic and demographic factors that have long been present in the study area. The thesis further investigates how the contemporary understanding and classification of famine is dominated by anthropometric and mortality outcomes (‘objective indicators') and thresholds set by outsiders and how ‘subjective indicators' such as the perceptions, knowledge, experience and coping strategies of famine victims are undervalued and given less weight by ‘famine scales'. By incorporating ‘subjective indicators' of famine, this thesis challenges conventional famine conceptualisation and measurement and recommends that these indicators be given equal treatment and weight to ‘objective indicators' in famine classification.

Over geological timescales, the spatial and temporal pattern of denudation is a primary control on the evolution of landscapes. Hence the ability to quantify denudation is fundamentally important to the comprehension and explanation of long-term landscape development. The recently developed technique of in situ-produced cosmogenic isotope analysis affords unique insights into the exposure history of the Earth's surface. In particular, in denudational terrains, this technique provides useful new, landform-scale, data on denudation rates applicable to timescales of 103 - 106 years. By using the analysis of one such in situ-produced cosmogenic isotope, chlorine-36 (36CI), this research quantifies, directly, rates of bedrock summit denudation and free face retreat in the basaltic terrain of the southern Drakensberg escarpment and Lesotho Highlands, both cardinal components of the SE African passive margin landscape. Cosmogenic 36Cl concentrations in 33 samples collected from flat-lying bedrock summits in the southern Drakensberg and Lesotho Highlands yield a mean denudation rate, integrated over the past ~ 50 ka, of 10.4 ± 1.6 m Ma-1. Individual rates range from 1.2 ± 0.4 m Ma-1 to 43.0 ± 6.6 m Ma-1. Possible site-specific resources of this variability are discussed. The mean summit denudation rate is similar to longer term (107 - 108 a), regional scale, estimates of crustal stripping provided by, for example, zeolite zonation studies and apatite fission track thermochronology (AFTT). Denudation of these summit flats at the measured rates is sufficient to prevent the long-term intact survival of erosion cycle surfaces formed prior to the break-up of Gondwana which were previously inferred for this region. This research confirms that the analysis of in situ-produced cosmogenic 36Cl provides an important new technique for assessing, directly, landscape change at the sale of individual landforms over timescales of 103 - 105 years. When these data are coupled with longer term, regional scale, estimates of denudation, such as provided by AFTT, and the heuristic predictions of numerical modelling of morphological evolution, they provide new insights into the long-term development of landscapes.

Pikillacta, Huaro and the Greater Cuzco Region: New Interpretations of Wari Occupation in the Southern HighlandsOver the last two decades, significant advancements have been made in Wari studies, resulting primarily from investigations conducted in provincial regions that have elucidated new perspectives on Wari imperial expansion. This paper focuses on contributions made in the southern highlands Cuzco region, with particular emphasis on research carried out at the monumental sites of Pikillacta and Huaro. On the basis of their research, the authors offer a new interpretation of the Wari occupation of Cuzco, that it was earlier; more intense, and endured much longer than previously thought, and that the mechanism for its success was direct Wari imperial control.Durante las últimas dos décadas han habido avances significativos en los estudios wari, como resultado de las investigaciones conducidas en las regiones provinciales. De esos estudios se han elucidado nuevas perspectivas sobre la expansión imperial de los wari, dándosele mayor énfasis a las investigaciones realizadas en los sitios monumentales de Pikillacta y Huaro. Basados en sus investigaciones, los autores han concluido que la ocupación wari fue más temprana, más intensa y de más larga duración que lo que previamente se impuso y plantean que su éxito se debió en gran parte al control directo del gobierno imperial de los wari.

This study analyses the history of a large hydroelectric scheme – the Great Ruaha power project in Tanzania. The objective is to establish why and how this specific scheme came about, and as part of this to identify the key actors involved in the decision-making process, including the ideological contexts within which they acted. Although the Tanzanian actors and the World Bank (IBRD) are discussed, main focus is on the Swedish actors on project level.Kidatu, the first phase of the Great Ruaha power project (constructed between1970-1975), became the first large-scale hydropower station in Tanzania. As such, it paved the way for Tanzanian entrance into the Big Dam Era and significant changes within the Tanzanian landscape. As well as the dry river bed at Kidatu, and the small reservoir that precedes it, the Great Ruaha power project also involved the creation of a huge artificial lake, the Mtera reservoir. The Kidatu hydropower station was the first large undertaking within Swedish bilateral aid, and implied the takeover of control of hydropower construction in Tanzania by Swedish enterprises, replacing the enterprises of the former colonial power. A hydropower plant is a complex technoscientific artefact. The construction of a hydropower plant is preceded by a large number of technological choices, scientific prestudies and estimations of costs and revenues. A hydropower plant is also a complex social creation, and is as such filled with social actors engaged in conflicts, compromises and power structures. The decision to construct Kidatu hydropower station was a result of negotiations and activities within what is called “development assistance”. This brings in yet another dimension, the political one, involving export and import of technology, foreign capital, and foreign influence in decision-making processes, as well as ideas about how to bring development and progress to a people supposed to be living in “poverty and misery”. The study is divided into three main parts. The first part analyses the context of Swedish development assistance in the support to the construction of hydropower plants. This part discusses Swedish state-supported hydropower exploitation of indigenous people’s territory within Sweden’s borders in the 20th century and the background of Swedish development assistance, from the 1950s to the early 1960s. The second part analyses the event of Swedish development assistance entering Tanzania and the Great Ruaha power project, with the main focus being on the period 1965 – 1970. The third part is an analysis of the technoscientific basis for the decisions taken to implement the Great Ruaha hydropower scheme. Main focus is on the period 1969-1974, discussed against the backdrop of precolonial and colonial studies. While focus is on the 1960s and 1970s, in both part two and three events in the 1980s and 1990s are discussed. The study shows that although Sweden was not a colonial power in Tanzania, colonial imagery, and relations to the colonial era, as well as Sweden’s background of internal colonialisation, exerted an influence on the decision-making process and the actors involved in the Great Ruaha power project.The study is mainly based on archival sources, complemented with oral sources from Tanzania and Sweden. Recognizing the complexity of large-scale hydropower and the attempts to control watercourses that large scale hydropower necessitates, in the specific context of decolonisation and development assistance that the decision-making process behind the Great Ruaha hydropower scheme reveals, the analysis of the actors involved is based on feminist and postcolonial perspectives.QC 20100825

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Middle Holocene climate change forced significant environmental response and influenced human activities throughout southern Arabia. Climate models and proxy data indicate that climate along the southern Arabian peninsula changed from a moist phase, spanning the early to middle Holocene, to an arid phase, which persisted for the last ca. 5,000 years. A weakening and southward shift of the Southwest Indian Monsoon System, forced by northern hemisphere insolation variations in the precession band and/or glacial boundary conditions, is suggested as the mechanism for the abrupt shift to more arid conditions. Geoarchaeological evidence suggests that agriculture was more widespread and evolved alongside the development of irrigation technologies during a period when rainfall was more plentiful than today. Here we investigate the surficial record of the dynamic fluvial response to the late Quaternary climate shift and reconstruct the geochronology of the geomorphic evolution of a significant portion of the ca. 125 km length of Wadi Sana, a north-flowing tributary to the Wadi Hadramout system. Using differential-corrected GPS-based survey, combined with analysis of the sedimentary record, the RASA (Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia) Project has created a paleohydrologic reconstruction of Wadi Sana in order to provide a context for understanding how fluvial landscapes, hydrologic regime, and human activity reacted to ivchanging middle Holocene climate. Radiocarbon and luminescence dating of remnant silt terraces suggests that fine-grained sediment began accumulating on an older (late-Pleistocene) coarse cobble surface between 12,000-7,000 years ago and continued aggrading until about 5,000 years ago. Paralleling the climate shift, Wadi Sana began incising and eroding the thick sediment infilling about 4,500 years ago, which has continued to the present time. Field reconnaissance and map analysis reveals structural and lithologic controls on the source and availability of these fluvial sediments for downstream deposition during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Hydrologic modeling of active present-day channels within Wadi Sana estimates stream velocities at 2.2 m/s and stream discharges of 444 m3/s. We propose that a change in hydrologic regime, driven by the monsoon shift, is the cause of the middle Holocene channel adjustment from an aggradational to incising mode in Wadi Sana.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The Dalradian Supergroup is divided into four groups, the uppermost of which is the Southern Highland Group (SHG). To date there are few sedimentological data that pertain to the SHG. In this thesis new field, petrographic and geochemical data are provided for the SHG and a model for its evolution outlined. The Killin and Aberfoyle areas together provide one of the most complete sections through the SHG. New sedimentological data from these sections are used here as a basis on which to build a correlative stratigraphy for the entire SHG basin which extents from Banff in NE Scotland southwestward into N. Ireland. The sediments of the SHG and the underlying Tayvallich subgroup of the Argyll Group change are dominantly turbiditic in character. They change stratigraphically upward from predominantly carbonate turbidites to siliciclastic turbidites. Volcaniclastic units are present, especially in the lower parts of the sequence. The volcaniclastic sediments document distal fall out of ash derived from plume-related volcanoes. The sedimentary sequences record the history of an evolving basin developed on the southern margin of Laurentia during the opening of the Iapetus Ocean. This history spans sedimentation during initial active rift faulting with rapid subsidence rates through to a drift stage with sedimentation along a passiv.e margin marked by thermal subsidence. Those parts of the sequence deposited on oceanic crust have been removed by later tectonic activity. Using present day geographic co-ordinates, the long axis of the basin was orientated NE-SW with the majority of the sediments derived from the N and NW and deposited by sediment gravity flows in a slope apron or a submarine ramp environment. The source terrain comprised mainly granitic basement-type rocks with abundant quartz veins. However parts of the sequence show an igneous component with the geochemical signature of within-plate, plume-type basalts. Geochemical data show that the major change in provenance was temporal rather than geographic. Geochronological data derived from detrital minerals suggest that erosional systems in the hinterland were exposing increasingly old, probably Archaean basement, rocks as SHG deposition continued.

An investigation of the geological resources of the Southern Highlands was undertaken and over two hundred samples were collected and examined for possible use as stoneware ceramic ingredients. Thirty four of these samples were tested for possible use as clay body ingredients, while sixty five samples were selected for assessment as glaze ingredients. A wood fired kiln was built from firebricks produced from a local deposit of a white bauxite related material. Materials selected as a result of these tests were combined to create ceramic objects fired at stoneware temperatures. The most interesting result of the investigation was the discovery of a number of small weathered dykes and sills, samples from which were developed into workable ceramic clay bodies and glazes using a simple empirical testing procedure. A previously unknown excellent white translucent native porcelain stone or ‘bai tunze’ was discovered and developed into a workable porcelain body. Some iron stained porcelain bodies that ‘flashed’ red in the wood firing kiln were also developed. Exhibitions of the creative work produced were shown in the ‘Legge Gallery’, a Fine Art gallery in Sydney. Two critical reviews of those shows appeared in the magazine Craft Arts International, No. 64, 2005, pp 106-107 and The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 46 #1 pp 21-24. Several papers were published detailing various aspects of the research: “The Search for Raw Materials in the Southern Highlands” in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 41#3, pp 22-23; “Flotation – A method of refining useful minerals”, in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 41#3, pp 24-25; “Magic Dirt” in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Vol 46 #1 pp 76-79; “New work from an old landscape”, in Ceramics Technical, 24, 2007. pp 45-52;“From the ground up”, in Ceramic review, issue 222, 2006, pp 54-55. The research concludes that the Southern Highlands of New South Wales is geologically rich in suitable materials for the production of stoneware ceramics and that there are a few specific bai tunze like materials that are very interesting and have considerable aesthetic potential. The research determined that these bai tunze like materials are potentially capable of being developed into clay bodies and glazes of great beauty.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The relationship between environmental conditions and the decisions and actions of historical agents is the central issue of this thesis. In a brief review of the role that social and environmental factors have played in archaeological explanation, I describe the scope for a form of archaeological ethnography in which particular attention is paid to the contrast between the different worlds of meaning in and through which historical agents address their environments.
In the context of a debate over the impact of sweet potato upon society and environment in the New Guinea Highlands, the history of wetland use emerges as a focus for competing positions on the nature of explanation for relationships between societies and their environments. My study addresses this debate through consideration of the recent history of Huli-speaking communities of the Tari region, in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Part B sets out an ethnographic model of the relationship between Huli people and their environment. External and Huli perceptions of landscape, society and agricultural production are presented in order to permit explanations for change that encompass both the intention of the Huli agents of the recent historical past, and the broader social environmental processes of which those historical individuals cannot have been aware. The roles of cosmology and ritual in the relationship between Huli and their environment are singled out for the contrast they evince between an external, Western concept of historical progress and a Huli notion of continuous, entropic decline in the world and in society.
The history of a particular landscape, The Haeapugua basin, is addressed in Part C. Detailed oral historical accounts of land tenure and wetlands use set a context for the archaeological investigation of the Haeapugua wetlands and wetlands margins. On the basis of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence, it is possible to demonstrate the significance of environmental change in placing broad limits on the possibility of wetland reclamation; this leaves unanswered, however, the more complex issue of human agency and decision-making in the processes and actual timing of wetland reclamation and abandonment.
Through reference to the role of ritual in the relationship between Huli and their environment, as set out in Part B, Part D attempts an explanation for wetland reclamation at Haeapugua. The oral history of migration from the central Huli basins is shown to reflect an increase in population consequent upon the local adoption of sweet potato. While acknowledging the importance of population pressure on dryland resources, I suggest that the more significant imperative for the Huli who undertook the reclamation of the Haeapugua wetlands was the increased demand for fodder with which to augment the production of pigs. Pressure on dryland resources, decline in soil quality and increases social conflict were all interpreted by Huli as tokens of entropic decline, of the death of the land. Within the framework of Huli cosmology, the appropriate response to these changes was the innovation and elaboration of ritual and it was greater requirements of pigs for sacrifice and for exchange in ritual contexts that provided the immediate impetus for wetland reclamation.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2014.The Karasburg Basin is situated in southern Namibia and preserves a heterogeneous succession of Karoo Supergroup strata up to 1000m thick. The uppermost preserved succession in this basin is the Amibberg Formation which is 250m thick and consists of intervals of sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. This study uses facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy and petrography to determine the palaeogeography and provenance for the Amibberg Formation. This is then used to establish environmental variability across the Karasburg – Aranos – Main Karoo basins and to define an equivalent of the Amibberg Formation in the Main Karoo Basin. Detailed stratigraphic logging of five outcrop localities has led to the identification of seven distinct lithofacies and two dominant ichnofacies (Cruziana and Skolithos). These lithofacies include: 1) Massive, laminated and bioturbated mudstones interpreted as offshore deposits (OS); 2) Bioturbated siltstones and sandstones which are representative of offshore-transitional environments (OST); 3) Interbedded sandstones and siltstones also interpreted as offshore-transitional deposits (OST) and generated by river-fed hyperpycnal plumes; 4) Sharp based, massive sandstones interpreted as being deposited on the distal lower shoreface (dLSF); 5) Non-amalgamated hummocky cross-stratified (HCS) and wave rippled sandstones interpreted as distal lower shoreface deposits (dLSF); 6) Amalgamated HCS and wave rippled sandstones interpreted as proximal lower shoreface deposits (pLSF); and 7) Soft-sediment deformed (SSD) sandstones and siltstones occurring in close juxtaposition with dLSF and pLSF deposits. The vertical arrangement of these lithofacies shows a general coarsening and shallowing upward trend. Overall the rocks of the Amibberg Formation consist of wave-dominated shoreface deposits with significant influence by tidal processes. Petrographically, the sandstone samples fall into the class of quartz and feldspathic wackes and are sourced from craton interior provenances. Geochemical analysis of mudstones and nodules indicate high levels of microbial activity under predominantly oxic conditions during the deposition of the Amibberg Formation. Five poorly defined 4th order T-R cycles are observable within the strata of the Amibberg Formation. Large regressive intervals are capped by thin transgressive tracts and these cycles are interpreted to have formed due to eustatic processes. Overall, the Amibberg Formation represents a regressive shoreline. iii Based on the mean palaeocurrent vectors a NNE-SSW palaeoshoreline orientation is deduced and the shoreface must have occupied a palaeohigh on the northern side of the western Cargonian Highlands. This emergent highland acted as an extensive headland and assisted in the connectivity of the Karasburg and Aranos basins, with partial connectivity with the Main Karoo Basin during the Early Permian. Based on this study, the Amibberg Formation is considered an equivalent of the Waterford Formation in the Main Karoo Basin based on similar: stratigraphic position; thickness; sedimentary structures; trace fossil assemblages and stacking patterns.

Dissertação de Mestrado em História apresentada à Faculdade de LetrasEsta dissertação insere-se no âmbito dos estudos sobre o colonialismo de povoamento europeu em África, tendo em especial consideração o caso representado pela colonização portuguesa nas Terras Altas da Huíla, no sul de Angola. Numa primeira instância, procura-se contextualizar historicamente o processo de colonização branca das Terras Altas da Huíla, para depois prosseguir com o estudo do protesto político dos colonos brancos, nomeadamente as suas reivindicações autonomistas e nacionalistas. A este respeito, o relacionamento entre os colonos brancos e o poder colonial português foi caracterizado por fortes tensões políticas provocadas pelo centralismo político-económico do regime do Estado Novo, pelas ineficiências da administração colonial e pelos entraves ao desenvolvimento económico do território.Contudo, essas tensões foram, simultaneamente, propiciadas pela pretensão dos colonos em obter o controlo do aparelho do Estado colonial, um fenómeno comum a outras colónias de povoamento europeu. Desta forma, analisa-se o impacto político das eleições presidenciais portuguesas de 1958 no território angolano, bem como a evolução do protesto político dos colonos durante a guerra de independência de Angola, tendo em particular atenção a formação de um movimento nacionalista branco, a Frente de Unidade Angolana (FUA). Por sua vez, os limites e as contradições do plano de autonomização política colonial de Marcelo Caetano, incapaz de criar as condições para que a população branca assumisse verdadeiramente o controlo do Estado Colonial, são igualmente analisados.Enfim, aborda-se o impacto do processo de descolonização no seio da minoria branca, politicamente excluída na fase de transição para a independência de Angola em 1974/1975. O modelo de descolonização então adotado inviabilizou a participação das organizações nacionalistas representativas da minoria branca, nomeadamente da FUA. Essa exclusão, associada à violência da guerra civil, conduziram ao êxodo da população branca e à concomitante implosão da sociedade colonial estabelecida pelos portugueses na Huíla.
This dissertation studies European settler colonialism in Africa, taking into consideration the case represented by the Portuguese colonization of the Highlands of Huila, in southern Angola. In this sense, it seeks, first, to historically contextualize the process of white colonization of the Highlands of Huila, to then study the political protest of white settlers; namely, their autonomist and nationalist claims. In this regard, the relationship between white settlers and the Portuguese colonial power was characterized by strong political tensions caused by the political-economic centralism of the Estado Novo regime, the inefficiencies of the colonial administration and the obstacles to the economic development of the territory.However, these tensions were also prompted by the colonists' intent to gain control of the apparatus of the colonial state, a phenomenon common to other European settler colonies. In this way, the political impact, on Angola, of the Portuguese presidential elections of 1958 is analyzed, as well as the evolution of the colonists’ political protest during the Angolan war of independence, paying particular attention to the formation of a white nationalist movement, the Frente de Unidade Angolana (Front of Angolan Unity, FUA). The limits and contradictions of Marcelo Caetano's political plan for colonial autonomation, which were unable to create the conditions for the white population to take control of the Colonial State, are also analyzed.Finally, this study addresses the impact of decolonization on the white minority, which was politically excluded during the transition to Angolan independence in 1974/1975. The decolonization model then adopted, rendered the participation of nationalist organizations representing the white minority – namely the FUA – unfeasible. This exclusion, along with the violence resulting from the Angolan Civil War, led to an exodus of the white population and the concomitant implosion of the colonial society established by the Portuguese in Huila.
