9. 2648 Michael Smith's Letting in the Jungle. Michael Smith's article in question falls within the category of a critique of anthropocentrism. This paper will analyse the concept of 'egalitarianism' and on the general problems with 'ethical reasoning'. It will be argued that while his critical arguments are sound, there are problems with biocentrism and the reference to Spinoza. It will also be argued that he rejects this because this latter notion is fraught with traditional problems of metaphysics. 5 pgs. 10 f/c. 1b.

10. 4042 The Potlatch and Kwakiutl Social Structure. This is a paper detailing the cultural anthropology of Kwakiutl traditional feasts, called potlatches. They are huge, extravagant gift-giving ceremonies in which the host's object is to give away as much as he can, in order to appear wealthy and powerful. Potlatches, and the loan-repayment tradition in Kwakiutl society, are also an integral part of tribal social mobility. By giving enough potlatches, a man on the lower rungs of the tribal hierarchy can attain a position of power and influence. The paper also compares Kwakiutl traditions with European celebratory and gift-giving ceremonies. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

11. 4054 Human Remains and their Importance to Anthropology. This paper addresses the importance of studying human remains, which are arguably the most important evidence that the anthropologist can consider. Inferring the living conditions of the subjects requires anthropologists to compare human remains found in the field with standards established by the enormous body of data from other studies of human remains. The anthropology of human remains reflects social dynamics in an informative fashion, both medical and cultural. The paper addresses evidence found in bones, teeth, and mummified soft tissues, and links it to current findings in medical and cultural anthropology. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

14. 9218 A History of the Spiro Mounds of Oklahoma. This paper presents a look at the historical significance of the Spiro Mounds in Spiro, Oklahoma. The Spiro Mounds exhibit several features that mark them as having extreme significance to archaeologists, yet the Spiro Mounds have a value simply in terms of their historical role in the development of the people in the Ouachita Mountains and among the peoples of the Great Plains. The Spiro Mounds have a high historical significance as they were constructed by many different groups of native peoples at the close of the prehistoric period, which makes the Spiro Mounds ideal for examining the cultural and social development of these many peoples immediately prior to the introduction of the Europeans in the New World. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Pages: 8 Bibliography: 6 source(s) listed Filename: 9218 History Spiro Mounds.doc Price: US$71.60
