Description

A series of 51 individual stakeholder interviews and two focus groups conducted with members of the Pima County business community in fall, 2001, documented significantly divided opinion about the likely economic impacts of the county's SDCP. Only one major finding reflected consensus, while several others revealed sharp differences of opinion.

Description

A number of significant positive and negative economic impacts could result from Pima County's SDCP and related programs, according to an analysis of existing research on large-scale conservation planning undertaken to provide a framework for community decision-making. This report offers no final verdict on the net economic impact of Pima

A number of significant positive and negative economic impacts could result from Pima County's SDCP and related programs, according to an analysis of existing research on large-scale conservation planning undertaken to provide a framework for community decision-making. This report offers no final verdict on the net economic impact of Pima County's current, ambitious initiatives in habitat conservation and growth management. However, it does provide a framework for future assessment and decision-making.

Description

More than one in 10 Arizona public high school students have disabilities. One-third of these youth remain unengaged in work or education following graduation, creating a significant public policy challenge for the state. Why is this so? This report shares findings from 2014 surveys and focus groups conducted with youth

More than one in 10 Arizona public high school students have disabilities. One-third of these youth remain unengaged in work or education following graduation, creating a significant public policy challenge for the state. Why is this so? This report shares findings from 2014 surveys and focus groups conducted with youth and families as well as interviews with education leaders across the state. These responses highlight how Arizona schools and families are preparing these youth, and what the state still needs to do to ensure youth with disabilities have a role to play in Arizona’s job market.

Description

Argues that the canons of evidence that apply to artifactual evidence of prehistoric behavior patterns are sometimes distinct from those that apply to non-artifactual evidence, and the logic and archaeological value of the latter is not less simply because it is different. The essay is intended to instruct and sensitise

Argues that the canons of evidence that apply to artifactual evidence of prehistoric behavior patterns are sometimes distinct from those that apply to non-artifactual evidence, and the logic and archaeological value of the latter is not less simply because it is different. The essay is intended to instruct and sensitise archaeologists to this issue as much as it is to allay concern that the pollen evidence for Archaic maize cultivation at the Koster site may not be credible. 49 p. Also see Schoenwetter 1994

Description
Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave

Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave site, and assessment of theories of the Anthropology of Southwestern Archaic populations.

DescriptionReports successful extraction of pollen from Mesolithic archaeological site-context deposits at moor locations using swirl flotation technology. Integration with previously obtained pollen records from Central Pennines Mesolithic sites suggests alternative to conventional archaeological interpretation.

Description
Study of 23 pollen samples associated with archaeological sites in the Walhalla Glades district of Grand Canyon National Park yields surface sample data not consistant with prior research, possibly because the samples are actually of sediment deposited during the period the sites were occupied. Pollen record suggests local prehistoric cultivation

Study of 23 pollen samples associated with archaeological sites in the Walhalla Glades district of Grand Canyon National Park yields surface sample data not consistant with prior research, possibly because the samples are actually of sediment deposited during the period the sites were occupied. Pollen record suggests local prehistoric cultivation in a paleoenvironment quite distinct from that presently occurring in this district.
