A detailed investigation of a feature from a Phase II Archaeological Survey is undertaken and described. This feature of unusual shape and size is excavated and interpreted through archaeological and research methodologies to give a better evaluation for the Phase II investigation and a much more comprehensive study of the people who formed this feature in the mid-1800's. The artifacts recovered associated with the documented history gives a view of that time period that shows the history of a particular tract of land - site 12Ma648, Lawrence Township, Marion County, Indiana. From the government's land patent deed in 1826 to the government's reacquisition of the property in 1903, the site's occupants have left evidence of their existence and afforded a unique opportunity to study the lives of early Indiana settlers. / Department of Anthropology

An area of unmapped intrusions lies within the Bull-of-the-Woods Roadless Area of Mount Hood National Forest. A variety of andesites, dacites,and diorites intruding units of tuff and andesite lava flows crop out over.an area of 52 sq km. These intrusions do not appear on the Geologic Map of Oregon West of the 121st Meridian (Hells and Peck, 1961). The purpose of this investigation is to map and describe these intrusions, with attention to the following questions: What is the petrographic and geochemical nature of these intrusions? What is the order of emplacement of these intrusions? What is the probable mechanism of intrusion? What relation do these intrusions bear to a possible underlying batholith? Contact relations in the field, petrographic studies, and major and trace element trends were used to address these questions.

Despite the increase in information on the causes of foodborne disease, outbreaks continue to be a major preventable public health problem. Current food service establishment inspection programs, however, are not designed to assess the potential of risk for foodborne disease and do not focus prevention efforts where food service problems are more severe. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to first, compare mean inspection scores, mean number of critical violations, and mean risk index values for high risk, moderate risk and low risk food service establishments in Marion County, Oregon. Second, the study determined if menu risk assessment can be used to identify facilities that are considered to be "high risk" facilities. The data included most recent routine inspection results that had been previously collected by local sanitarians and data collected from a Menu Risk Assessment Survey which was developed by the Virginia Department of Health. The Menu Risk Assessment Survey was administered using a stratified random design, to 400 food service managers/owners between October 1993 and December 1993 The results showed that high risk establishments had lower mean inspection scores, higher mean number of critical violations, and a smaller mean risk index value than moderate or low risk establishments. The differences were attributed to lack of manager food safety education, menu items served, and operational practices observed in the establishment. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences (p<.05) in the mean inspection score and the mean number of critical violations of "high risk" establishments and "low risk" establishments when responses to the Menu Risk Assessment Survey were compared. For example: 1) Establishments whose managers do not have food handler's training demonstrate more critical violations than establishments with trained managers, 2) Critical violations and lower inspection scores were more likely to occur in establishments that prepared and served potentially hazardous foods, 3) Food service establishments that handle extensive amounts of potentially hazardous food and serve larger populations were more likely to have lower inspection scores and increased numbers of critical violations. Based on the results found in this research, local health departments may find the Menu Risk Assessment Survey to be a useful tool in determining high, moderate, and low risk food service establishments to focus prevention efforts where the problems are more severe and are of greater public health risk. / Graduation date: 1997

Pacific Northwest ferruginous bauxite deposits have formed in four main areas of northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington by laterization of flows of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG). The deposits, averaging 36.3% Al2O3 , 31.8% Fe2O3 , and 5.9% Sio2, generally occur near the surface of hilltops in gently rolling areas. Two very different views have been advanced regarding the setting in which the deposits have formed. The first hypothesis calls for a blanket-type laterization by erosion of much of the original deposit upon uplift and dissection of the area.

This study is concerned with a set of cases referred to Children's .Services Division, Marion County, by the Marion County Juvenile Court for placement. Placements include foster homes and residential treatment facilities, including group homes. The goal of this study is to uncover criteria to determine the appropriateness and the efficacy of foster and residential placements for adolescents in order to provide feedback necessary for the development of practice theory.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / A causa de la falta de acceso al español formal y al español escrito, es típico que después de dos generaciones de inmigrantes, los hispanos pierdan su competencia en español. La lectura voluntaria, cuando uno lee porque quiere, es utilizada como método de impedir la pérdida del español como lengua de herencia. El propósito de este estudio es investigar cómo la lectura voluntaria facilita la adquisición y el mantenimiento del español como lengua materna.

Reconnaissance survey (Phase Ia) provides the backbone to archaeological field methodology. Archaeological sites are typically discovered through reconnaissance techniques, more often via pedestrian survey and shovel probe testing. There is a lack of a consensus in the archaeological community on whether or not these techniques are effective as reconnaissance methodology. The following thesis evaluates these techniques' relative effectiveness at finding and preliminarily evaluating archaeological sites, the main objectives of reconnaissance. This study compares actual and simulated surveys using both techniques on a multi-component site in a woodland setting as well as addressing the cost-effectiveness of these techniques when estimating the time needed to complete them. / Department of Anthropology
