This thesis provides an analysis of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in British Columbia and explores the potential of co-operative arrangements for the development of a more inclusive management regime. The objectives of the thesis are (i) to investigate the role of First Nations in the development of archaeology and archaeological resource management, (ii) to compare aboriginal community-based heritage management initiatives in B.C. with those operating within the Yukon and Northwest Territories and the U.S., (iii) to develop an aboriginal involvement framework to analyze aboriginal participation in archaeological resource management in B.C., and (iv) to assess the opportunities and constraints to increased aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in B.C. Preliminary chapters outline the historical, legislative, and theoretical contexts for this study. Relevant literature is reviewed to provide a discussion of the development of archaeology and its effects on aboriginal people. The creation of a management ethic for archaeology is presented together with the nature of aboriginal participation in the management process. Secondly, literature pertaining to aboriginal involvement in resource management is surveyed to provide a context for analyzing aboriginal participation in archaeological resource management. From this review an aboriginal involvement framework is developed. Based on the themes discussed in preceding chapters and the proposed framework, six key concepts of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management are identified to provide structure for an analysis of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in B.C. Next, in case study format, the Sto:lo Nation's approach to heritage management is analyzed using the key concepts distilled from the framework. The Sto:lo Nation's experience with managing archaeology is followed by a discussion of the provincial approach to archaeological resource management. The contrasting nature of both the Sto:lo Nation's and the Province's approaches to archaeological resource management is discussed and the difficulties inherent in developing a more inclusive management regime are highlighted. Finally, a set of opportunities and constraints to the development of a co-operative approach to archaeological resource management is outlined. This set is derived both from the events and literature discussed in the previous chapters as well as the results of the case study investigation. A pilot project for the co-operative management of archaeological resources is suggested and the benefits of such an approach are discussed. The thesis closes with the presentation of conditions to facilitate the development of co-operative management of archaeological resources in B.C.

Recent archaeological discoveries at Fox Island County Park (Cochran 1978, 1979, and 1980a) have provided the impetus for the formulation of a cultural resources management plan for its archaeological resources. Several of the sites discovered have undergone intensive assessment and they, along National Register as an archaeological district. If they are to be properly protected, studied, and explained a management plan is essential. Therefore, within this thesis such a plan for the cultural resources of Fox Island County Park is proposed.The goals of the management plan shall be to provide for the preservation and protection of the resources using a conservation approach to archaeology and to interpret to the public their value and significance. Among the steps or objectives in achieving these goals are to: (1) seek the services of a professional archaeologist or establish develop 2 an archaeological oversight committee, (2) develop a preliminary research design, including the establishment of study units to facilitate the broadening of the data base, (3) encourage and organize volunteers, (4) increase the data base through comprehensive reconnaissance, (5) revised, long-term research design, (6) create an archaeological preserve, (7) monitor adverse impacts to the resources and develop appropriate preservation or conservation strategies, (8) gain public interest and provide information on the cultural heritage of Fox Island and vicinity, (9) identify sources in the community for monetary support, and (10) implement the long-term research design, revising it periodically as necessary.

The Meshingomesia Reserve was in existence for a little over thirty years, from 1840-1873. During that time it served as a buffer between the Miami in Indiana and the encroaching white settlers. The survey of the reserve was undertaken to establish what remained in the archaeological evidence of this historic area. From the results of the survey and the background research into the history and archaeological site surveys and excavations previously conducted within the reserve’s boundaries, an assessment of the archaeological resources and a management plan were developed. / Department of Anthropology

This dissertation asks how knowledge about the past is made and transmitted, and what the role of material culture is in this process. Taking as its case study the Swiss lakedwelling collections acquired in Britain between 1850 and 1900, it uses a selection of these collections as primary sources of the material and social networks that were central to the development of archaeology as a discipline. The project not only supports the more widely held assertion that scientific knowledge is a form of cultural production (Lenoir 1998), but emphasises the material basis of such production, and the traces it leaves. In particular, it pays close attention to previously unexamined aspects of historic collections; namely the transformative practices - such as the conservation, packaging, labelling, cataloguing and illustration - by which lake-dwelling artefacts were salvaged, documented, and displayed. It uses this perspective to shed light on the social networks which motivated such practices, and develops a method of analysing the collections in dialogue with other contemporary representations, underscoring the variety of material contexts and media through which knowledge about lake-dwellings was represented and encountered. This research will hopefully reinvigorate further research into historic collections and their implications for the discipline of archaeology and the museum's own reflections on its historicity and methods of knowledge production.

Orientador(a): Geralda M. F. S. Dalglish (Lalada Dalglish) / Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado refere-se a obra em cerâmica do artista Pablo Picasso e a sua relação com a Antiguidade Mediterrânea. Aborda a construção poética desde os motivos que levou o artista à cerâmica, o seu aprendizado, os barros, os fornos e a técnica utilizada, identificando os elementos de inspiração, os temas, estilos e o processo de criação, relacionando-os ao contexto social que influenciou seu trabalho. Ao identificar os elementos percebeu-se que Pablo Picasso enxergou na cerâmica uma forma de popularizar a sua arte, um desejo que nasceu após o seu envolvimento com a luta dos Republicanos na Guerra Civil Espanhola. Com esse propósito, ele dialogou com a cultura popular e a cerâmica tradicional mediterrânea, a inovou, resgatou os valores ancestrais e reviveu os símbolos e mitos mediterrâneos, deixando-os "vivos". Toda sua obra do período de 1947 até a sua morte em 1973, é uma revisitação da Antiguidade e Picasso influenciou uma geração de artistas a produzirem cerâmica e através da sua reputação, a arte do barro, dita "inferior" em relação as Belas Artes, nunca mais foi a mesma / Abstract: The present Master's dissertation refers to the ceramic work of the artist Pablo Picasso and his relation with the Mediterranean Antiquity. It approaches the poetic construction from the reasons that took the artist to the pottery, its learning, the muds, the furnaces and the technique used, identifying the elements of inspiration, the themes, styles and the process of creation, relating them to the social context which influenced his work. In identifying the elements, it was noticed that he dialogued with the traditional Mediterranean pottery, innovated and rescued the ancestral values and revived the Mediterranean symbols and myths, leaving them "alive". His entire work from the period of 1947 until his death is a revival of antiquity, and Picasso influenced a generation of artists to produce pottery, and through his reputation, the art of clay, referred to as "inferior" in relation to Fine Arts, was never again the same / Résumé: La thèse de maîtrise actuelle se réfère à l'œuvre céramique de l'artiste Pablo Picasso et sa relation avec l'Antiquité méditerranéenne.

This thesis is a critical study of two exhibits, First Encounters Spanish Exploration in the Caribbean and A Tribute to Survival. The objective of the thesis was to understand if and how indigenous activists, using the media as tool, were able to change curatorial approaches to exhibition development. Chapter 1 is broken into three sections. The first section introduces the exhibits and succinctly discusses the theory that is applied to this thesis. The second section discusses the objectives of the project and the third provides a brief outline of the document. Chapter 2 discusses the historical background of American museums in an attempt to highlight changes in curatorial attitudes towards the public, display, interpretation, and authority. Chapter 3 gives a more in-depth overview of the methodology and materials utilized in the thesis. Chapter 4 is a critical analysis of the literature for both First Encounters and A Tribute to Survival. Chapter five is a summary of the thesis and offers a conclusion of the effectiveness of using the media as a tool. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The archaeology of the region, referred to in scholarly lexicon as the Ancient Near East, is richly endowed with artefacts and monumental architecture of ancient cultures. Such artefacts, as a non-renewable resource are, therefore considered to be a scarce commodity. So also is the context and the provenance of these objects. Once an object’s provenance has been disturbed, it is of no further significant use for academic research, except for aesthetic value. Historically, as well as in the present, we see that humans have exploited this resource for various reasons, with very little regard given to provenance. The impact of forgery, illicit trade and looting are the greatest threat to the value of provenance. Contrary to some arguments, collectors, curators, buyers, looters and certain scholars play a significant role in its destruction. This research reveals to what extent unknown provenance has become a disturbing problem in the study of archaeological artefacts. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.Th. (Biblical Archaeology)
