I am an anthropologist first, and a social worker second. I was an archaeologist for the Gila River Indian Community for five years. There, I specialized in lithic analysis, and have dabbled in energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence, and anthropological-linguistic-archaeological theory and epistemology.Although archaeology is my passion and life-long pursuit, I have turned my attention to home healthcare, so that I can participate in making a meaningful positive impact on people in need. I still aspire to work in archaeology, but temporarily shelved my trowel to become a Social Worker. My ultimate goals are to become a clinical social worker to help people with P.T.S.D. and S.M.I. to help them recuperate under my care. I want to build a model that has wide applicability for our businesses and beyond. I am striving to build a non-profit business "Isa's Garden llc" that restores food growing power to those interested in learning how to grow their own food.I also run a non-profit organization called Isa's Garden Charities, where I give away free seeds, plants, trees, and gardening knowledge.

I demonstrate that through sharing seeds, plants, trees, and gardening knowledge, one can bring a community together through sharing the endless bounties produced in each other's back yards. Despite the trials of a pandemic where socialization has become the culprit for the spread of a contagious communicable disease in Covid-19, people are still able to "learn+grow+propagate+proliferate+and share", seeds, plants, trees, and gardening knowledge.

The United States of America is at a tipping point.

This brief power point presentation was supposed to be presented at the Society for Applied Anthropology in Albuquerque in March 2020. Unfortunately the conference was canceled. Nevertheless, I want to publish this good news here for others to follow, immediately, because food insecurity is spreading as fast as the Covid-19 disease. We should focus on spreading seeds, plants, trees, and gardening knowledge instead, because there is nothing like kindness that cuts through despair, especially when seed companies are going bankrupt because of the extraordinary inability to meet demand during an international crisis unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes.

I created a community garden proposal for Southwest Network, a behavioral health agency located in Chandler Arizona. This proposal was the beginning of another community garden that is being built in Casa Grande, Arizona. This paper serves as the foundation for a future book written from an anthropological and social work approach to building a successful and sustainable community garden.

Ethnohistorical and ethnographic observations from around the world indicate that projectiles were often made differently for warfare and hunting. Using experiential archaeology and analysis of a thousand years’ worth of data from the middle Gila River in Arizona, the authors argue that side notched arrow points were produced for hunting large animals and were designed to be retrieved and reused, while unnotched points were intended for single use and for another purpose: to kill people. The data suggests furthermore that the region witnessed a steady increase in levels of violence during the period under study.

Excavations at the Dennis site (47MO667) in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin offer new information on the Initial Late Woodland period (A.D. 500–750) in the region. The Dennis site represents a small, upland habitation and lithic workshop site in a drainage-head setting. The discovery of a previously unrecognized pottery type, Rullands Creek Incised, indicates greater cultural diversity in the Driftless Area during the Initial Late Woodland period than offered by prior models. These unique ceramics and associated cultural materials were recovered from an upland drainage-head landform, capped by as much as 75 centimeters of post-settlement alluvium (PSA). We suggest that the Dennis site has the potential to alter our present understanding of the Late Woodland period chronology and ceramic sequence and may serve as a useful model for developing a more general survey strategy for comparable sites within the Driftless Area. We present the results of test excavations at the site and discuss its unusual landscape position, artifact content, and geomorphic setting.

This brief paper explores how artifact types are excacerbated by our own biases, which contribute to inter-observer error in judgement of what an artifact type is, and how it leads to variation in interpretation. I employ a cumulative graph, as Bordes did in his typologies, to show how variation in artifact interpretation may lead to drasitic errors in research using typologies.

This is a free version of my 2013 EBook. It helps you quickly organize your expenses versus your income, and teaches you how to visually live within your means. It is the Dave Ramsey debt-snowball plan implemented into practice. You should be out of debt in no time. I built this plan to actually help people get out of debt. Please email me if you find that this budget format helps you, so you can help me and become a testimonial for more future editions to my E-book on personal debt elimination. I might not be able to save the world, but I can sure help those who are willing to help themselves in getting out of debt-slavery.

Paper presented at the Transnational Meetings in Archaeology, Hamburg, Germany in 2012.
This Masters thesis is focused on the lithic artifacts in the Charles H. Doerflinger French Paleolithic assemblages that are housed in the Milwaukee Public Museum (M.P.M.). These assemblages were obtained from thirteen different sites along the Dordogne, Somme, Couze, and Gironde River valleys in the Périgord region of France (ca. 1893) (Arnold 2011). Since many orphaned museum collections from the 19th century were collected using methods and practices that are highly criticized today, the thesis tests the degree to which purely a typological analysis can inform us with the assemblages despite their lack of provenience. Two typologies were used, a version of Bordes’ typology, to establish a chronological framework for the assemblages (Ronen 1970) and provide a unit of analysis. The second typology was Lurie and Jeske’s (1990) economic-based typology, which was used to investigate the lithic variability of remnant behavioral and technological attributes that are otherwise implicit in the morphofunctional Bordian “type.” By using a combination of these two typologies, I found that the economic typology points out a problem with the Neolithic typed artifacts specifically with Ronen’s (1970) modified version of Bordes’ typology, and that those assemblages containing Neolithic typed artifacts could be Middle Paleolithic. This raises the question of the reliability and validity of artifacts classified as Neolithic type tools in Ronen’s (APPENDIX A) version of Bordes’ typology. Despite the issue raised with the Neolithic, the typologies largely complemented one another, and they enable us to understand aspects of remote human technological behavior even in the case of orphaned museum collections, especially when viewing lithic assemblage variation over time.

This paper focuses on two separate x-ray fluorescence methods to see whether or not trace elemental readings between them are comparable. Seven varieties of obsidian from Arizona are used in this study. The first pXRF method is a non-destructive fluorescence method using the NITON XL3t handheld analyzer, housed in the archaeology laboratory (ARL) at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (UW-M). The second method is the wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRFS), a destructive powder method. The NITON (pXRF) XL3t is a mobile handheld device that can be used in the field, whereas the fixed stationary WDXRFS model is not. PXRF technology provides an opportunity for scientists to obtain rapid feedback of elemental compositions for raw materials in the field, and the primary importance is that it is non-destructive. However, obsidian researchers are continuously adamant at honing in on which instruments they should use for consistency and reliability, and this paper highlights this issue.

I demonstrate in this paper both applied anthropology and social work is necessary to unite a divided community. Optimal foraging (Winterhalder, 1981a), practice (Bourdieu, 1990), and empowerment theories (Pernell, 1985; Breton, 2004) are used to socially organize and positively impact the lives of the interested participants. Where modern politics creates polemics, gardening transcends division. Isa's garden llc is a grassroots effort to lift up families who choose to share organic, pesticide-free, healthy food to break down barriers, by sharing free healthy food. By using the virtual community garden as a field of practice to implement empowerment theory, people 'learn+grow+propagate+proliferate+and share'.
