Abstract For societies with writing systems, hereditary leadership is documented as one of the hallmarks early political complexity and governance. In contrast, it unknown whether succession played a role in formation prehistoric complex that lacked writing. Here we use an archaeogenomic approach to identify elite matriline persisted between 800 1130 CE Chaco Canyon, centre expansive society Southwestern United States. We show nine individuals buried crypt at Pueblo Bonito, largest structure...
Significance New accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) 14 C dates of scarlet macaw ( Ara macao ) skeletons from Chaco Canyon in northwestern Mexico reveal the earliest (A.D. 900–975) direct evidence for procurement this Neotropical species by Pueblo people Mesoamerica. By directly dating macaws, we demonstrate existence long-distance acquisition networks throughout much 900–1150) Chaco’s history. In contrast to models societal evolution that attribute macaws 11 th -century peak Chacoan...
Scientific archaeology and indigenous oral traditions have long been estranged. While there appears to be something of a thaw in recent years, the terms epistemological engagement are unclear. Are these different modes constituting past heuristically compatible at all? Or should they, as postmodernists would avow, simply treated alternative narratives intractable culture wars, where privileged truth-claims science dismissed spurious arrogance? Focusing on an example from Hopi tradition, this...
The Crow-Omaha problem has perplexed anthropologists since it was first described by Lewis Henry Morgan in 1871. During his worldwide survey of kinship systems, learned with astonishment that some Native American societies call relatives different generations the same terms. Why? Intergenerational skewing what came to be named Crow and Omaha systems provoked a wealth anthropological arguments, from Rivers Radcliffe-Brown, Lowie Levi-Strauss, many more. turns out, are both uncommon yet found...
While valuable, the discourse of language rights neglects use in cultural, social, and historical contexts. This article examines some implications that neglect, especially vis‐a‐vis small‐scale, indigenous, "oral" societies. Drawing principally on Hopi examples, I argue rests a reflexivization culture enhanced by globalism. Now reified, becomes an allegory ethnic identity. Preexisting sociolinguistic sensibilities get repositioned, for example, Native Americancommunities which has hitherto...
A survey of seven physics textbooks in use the Caribbean and Britain has shown a gender imbalance. The more frequent depiction males, particularly as adults, may have an adverse effect on numbers girls continuing their studies physics.
Conventional views of Hopi social structure depict the basic units society as matrilineal descent groups nested in levels complementary opposition. Following emergent theory 1940s and 1950s, lineages clans are characterized incorporated about joint estates which consist mainly real property. This two-part paper (part II will appear volume 42) questions whether corporate any definitive spheres classic theory--economic, ritual, or jural. It is suggested that grave deficiencies exist...
Language origins and diversification are vital for mapping human history. Traditionally, the reconstruction of language trees has been based on cognate forms among related languages, with ancestral protolanguages inferred by individual investigators. Disagreement competing authorities is typically extensive, without empirical grounds resolving alternative hypotheses. Here, we apply analytical methods derived from DNA sequence optimization algorithms to Uto-Aztecan treating words as sequences...
ABSTRACT The toponyms of Hopitutskwa (“Hopi land”) explicate Hopi history and culture. Place‐names mark sacred locations, landforms associated with deities historical events, springs, trails, “footprints” ancestral villages, petroglyphs, other archaeological sites. National Science Foundation funded a collaborative project to document the language by recording narratives. Interviews 15 individuals produced linguistic ethnocartographic records 282 place‐names. Audio video recordings preserve...
Significance Archaeogenomic analysis of scarlet macaw bones demonstrates that the genetic diversity these birds acquired by people in southwestern United States (SW) between 900 and 1200 CE was exceedingly low. Only one mitochondrial DNA haplogroup (Haplo6) is present five historically known haplogroups lowland forests Mexico Central America. Phylogenetic analyses indicate ancient lineage SW shared affinities with this wild lineage. These data support hypothesis a translocated breeding...
Hopi social structure has been defined as composed primarily of matrilineal descent groups, which are corporate, mutually exclusive, and segmentarily coordinate. These ideas reflect the conceptions classical theory. Part I this paper (Whiteley 1985) concluded that clans did not possess joint economic estates. II examines whether groups ritually or jurally corporate in practice. The supposed structural isomorphism group segments is questioned, especially light problem fluctuating "clan"...
This article was prompted by a plate published in the foundational text, Principles of Visual Anthropology, which purports to show film being made Thomas Edison Snake Dance as performed Hopi village Orayvi, Arizona, August 1898. footage is now lost but could still have been one first ethnographic films ever made—depending on how defines “ethnographic.” Here, contesting its attribution Edison, we seek reconstruct content this footage, drawing extensive photographic record at event, along with...
Abstract Phylogenetic methods offer a promising advance for the historical study of language and cultural relationships. Applications to date, however, have been hampered by traditional approaches dependent on unfalsifiable authority statements: in this regard, linguistics remains similar position evolutionary biology prior cladistic revolution. Influential phylogenetic studies Bantu languages over last two decades, which provide foundation multiple analyses sociocultural histories, are...

Science textbooks used in the lower forms of secondary schools Jamaica were analyzed order to determine their 'gender fairness'. The results showed that some change has occurred direction fairness' between late 1970s and 1980s. Current editions integrated science textbooks, however, show adult males illustrations more frequently than females, name very few female scientists exhibit other evidente a 'male bias', an implicit support gender sterotypes. It is suggested this bias may contribute...
