Anthropology in a climate of change, war, and internecine environments 1

Part 1**
Part 2*** [separate post]

Antiques as HazArt (Mercury)

Mercury used to be part of the preservation technique in museums, as a bug killer. This makes analyzing museum specimens for environmental change difficult (pre- and post-industrial; regional ecological change in water, temperature, etc over time using stable nuclides; etc.) There was an interesting study on Berlin museum specimens (feathers) for mercury pollution in the [...]

Cooperative Extension Work in Indian Country

This is an excellent brief intro (Indian Country 101–A Primer) to the other major form of government in the US (the one most are unaware of, much less familiar with). The analysis is spot on. But the problems don’t just affect the poor showing of Extension. Natural Resources Conservation Service, especially its Resource Conservation & [...]
