As tourism to the region develops, travelers purchase these handicrafts as souvenirs to represent and remember a visit to Peru. John Urry suggests that tourists "gaze" on locals, causing them to reconstruct themselves in terms of the tourists' ideas of authenticity. Based on my fieldwork in the Mantaro Valley, I complicate Urry's argument by presenting a multifaceted approach analyzing the complex ways in which these women communicate their individual, familial, regional and national identities through the objects they create. I incorporate visual rhetoric and material behavior theories to suggest alternative ways-of-looking within tourism interactions that consider the relationships between the craftswomen, intermediaries and tourists. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Lisa Gilman, Folklore; Dr. Julianne Newton, Journalism and Communication; Dr. Carol Silverman, Anthropology

abstract: Stable isotopes were measured in the groundwaters of the Salt River Valley basin in central Arizona to explore the utility of stable isotopes for sourcing recharge waters and engineering better well designs. Delta values for the sampled groundwaters range from -7.6‰ to -10‰ in 18O and -60‰ to -91‰ in D and display displacements off the global meteoric water line indicative of surficial evaporation during river transport into the area. Groundwater in the basin is all derived from top-down river recharge; there is no evidence of ancient playa waters even in the playa deposits. The Salt and Verde Rivers are the dominant source of groundwater for the East Salt River valley- the Agua Fria River also contributes significantly to the West Salt River Valley. Groundwater isotopic compositions are generally more depleted in 18O and D with depth, indicating past recharge in cooler climates, and vary within subsurface aquifer layers as sampled during well drilling. When isotopic data were evaluated together with geologic and chemical analyses and compared with data from the final well production water it was often possible to identify: 1) which horizons are the primary producers of groundwater flow and how that might change with time, 2) the chemical exchange of cations and anions via water-rock interaction during top-down mixing of recharge water with older waters, 3) how much well production might be lost if arsenic-contributing horizons were sealed off, and 4) the extent to which replacement wells tap different subsurface water sources. In addition to identifying sources of recharge, stable isotopes offer a new and powerful approach for engineering better and more productive water wells. / M.S. Geological Sciences 2010

The Fraser Valley from Hope to Emory Creek is underlain by mainly regionally metamorphosed Palaeozoic and (?) Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Chilliwack group consists of iron- and magnesium-rich pelitic schists and minor basic schists of the staurolite-quartz subfacies and to a lesser extent of the sillimanite-almandine subfacies. Much of the femic component of the original sedimentary rocks was used in the early formation of a biotite-almandine-sericite-plagioclase assemblage. As a result, a later assemblage of minerals (kyanite, staurolite, sillimanite, and muscovite) developed even though they represent minerals too alumina-rich to form in rocks of these bulk compositions. The Hozameen group, which consists of cherts, phyllites and greenstones of the greenschist facies, is composed of schists and amphibolites of the almandine amphibolite facies at its western boundary. The Custer granite-gneiss is an ancient complex of sedimentary and volcanic rocks. During the regional metamorphism of the Custer, the complex formed gneisses and pegmatites, became mobile, and, limited by the structure of the surrounding rocks, moved into an area of less intense metamorphism. The movement caused a shearing of the Custer to form augen gneisses and of the adjacent rocks to form phyllonites. Later release of stresses along definite planes caused a closely spaced faulting of the Custer and the wall rocks. A band of sheared quartz diorite and gneiss separates the Hozameen group from the Custer. The quartz diorite intrudes both units. Unmetamorphosed conglomerates of the Jackass Mountain group unconformably overlie the Custer. A north-trending fault of largely dip-slip movement which formed between Lower Cretaceous to Miocene times has down-faulted the rocks east of the Chilliwack group. The fault extends from Spuzzum to Chilliwack River and possibly into northern Washington. Its trace south of Hope has been partly obliterated by the younger Chilliwack batholith. At least two periods of folding have occurred within the map-area. An early period of folding is associated with the movement of the Custer (Jurassic?) and a later (post-Lower Cretaceous) period with the formation of a northerly trending anticline that occupies the centre of the Fraser Valley. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

An area of 550 square miles between Lillooet and Big Bar, B.C. was mapped by the author using the scale of one mile to the inch. In the southern part of the Bowman Range four members are recognized in the Middle (?) and Upper Permian Marble Canyon formation which is partly composed of reefal limestone. This formation forms a northwesterly trending anticlinorium overturned to the northeast. The cherts, argillites, limestones, and volcanic rocks west of the Bowman Range, originally referred to the Permo-Pennsylvanian Cache Creek group are shown to be Permo-Triassic and are here assigned to the Pavilion group, a new group which is made up of two Divisions. Microscopic and stratigraphic evidence is given that the cherts of this group are of radiolarian origin. The Lower Cretaceous Lillooet group here is subdivided into three units. Divisions A and B are shown to form a northwesterly trending anticline. Three members are now recognized in Division A of the Lower Cretaceous Jackass Mountain group. The Lower Cretaceous Spences Bridge group is subdivided into several local and stratigraphic units. Two units previously assigned to the Spences Bridge group are correlated with the Kingsvale group on the basis of new fossil collections. Some volcanic and sedimentary rocks originally referred to the Miocene Kamloops group are here correlated with Miocene to Pleistocene rocks of the Quesnel map-area. West of Lillooet a belt of serpentinite was mapped that has structural and lithological similarities to the Upper Triassic ultrabasic intrusions of the Shulaps Range. Granitic rocks of three ages are recognized and range from early Lower Cretaceous or older to mid-Lower Cretaceous. It had earlier been shown that the Fraser River fault zone consists of several normal faults with relative downward movement to the east. East of these faults the author recognizes another fault with relative downward movement to the west. Lower Cretaceous and early Tertiary rocks thus occupy a graben between Permo-Triassic units to the northeast and to the southwest. This graben probably controlled the deposition of Divisions B and C of the Jackass Mountain group. The faulting may be related to the isostatic rise of adjacent granitic masses. Evidence is given that the latest movement on one of the faults took place in mid-Tertiary time. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The study problem was to analyze adult education participation in a rural community in conjunction with a detailed survey of the community and its residents. Three hypotheses were tested to ascertain whether or not there were any significant differences between adult education participants and non-participants with respect to socio-economic characteristics, social interaction patterns, and locality of residence. The analytical survey method was used and the principal means of data collection was the personal interview. One hundred fifty-eight non-Indian household heads and a sample consisting of thirty-two native Indian respondents were interviewed. The community studied was the Pemberton Valley in British Columbia which is an isolated mountain valley one hundred miles northeast of Vancouver. Approximately one-fifth of the non-Indian respondents were classified as farm while the remainder were not engaged in agriculture. In general, the non-Indian population had similar characteristics to the residents of other rural areas in the province. They had a median of nine to eleven years of school completed, an average annual income of slightly less than $6, 000, and worked mainly in unskilled and semi-skilled occupations. The Indians by comparison had less education, lower incomes, and were marginal in the labour force. Systematic adult education in Pemberton was limited almost exclusively to night school courses. Twenty-three courses offered between 1964 and 1966 had a total enrollment of 352 adults. Some 22. 2 per cent of the non-Indian respondents had taken at least one course within the three year period. There were statistically significant differences between the adult education participants and the non-participants with respect to nine socio-economic characteristics studied including age, number of children at home, birthplace, number of years resident in the area, number of related families living in Pemberton, farm or non-farm resident, father's education, perceived adequacy of skills, and desire for further education or training. Of the social interaction characteristics studied, social participation and road opinion differentiated between the participants and the non-participants. Locality of residence was related to adult education participation and the number of respondents who participated decreased as distance from the nightschool center increased. / Education, Faculty of / Graduate
