This final chapter provides a reflection of the book. I bring together the key threads from each of the chapters to explore the contemporary context of heritage within the scope of ongoing development, from highways to solar fields. Among my primary points is that development and heritage have become increasingly entangled, yet heritage remains the underdog in this game. The scale of development reflects Turkey’s shifting position in the global landscape, particularly balancing EU agendas with those of Asia and the Middle East. Archaeology has a vexed position within these development schemes, and the practice of US citizens conducting archaeology in Turkey has become increasingly precarious. This is in part due to the entrenched position of the US Department of State not to support archaeological research linked to fieldwork. My goal here is to balance a summary of the book with some of these new themes.

<p>En esta nota se presentan los resultados obtenidos de las investigaciones arqueológicas desarrolladas en el sitio Alero Dupuy, departamento de Coronel Pringles, provincia de San Luis. Los materiales recuperados en las excavaciones permiten plantear la realización de actividades múltiples por parte de grupos cazadores recolectores posiblemente con ocupaciones redundantes desde el Holoceno medio al tardío.</p><p><br /><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><br />This paper presents the results of archaeological research carried out on the site Alero Dupuy, Coronel Pringles, at San Luis province. The material recovered from excavations allows proposing that multiple activities were carried out by hunters and gatherers with redundant occupations from middle to late Holocene.</p>

O artigo aborda a aplicação da Análise Hierárquica de Processos (AHP) como uma proposta de modelo preditivo para identificação de sítios arqueológicos na Ilha de São Luís – Maranhão, por meio da construção e avaliação de parâmetros hipotéticos com base em sete atributos e suas classes, comumente utilizados nas pesquisas arqueológicas: os indicadores fisiográficos e ambientais. A pesquisa considerou o conhecimento arqueológico já existente para a região, que contabiliza a existência de 105 sítios arqueológicos. As duas fontes de dados foram correlacionadas com os atributos selecionados. Após o modelamento pelo método do AHP foi possível gerar mapas com diferentes graus de potencialidades, que permitiram averiguar e validar a eficácia da proposta por meio de prospecção de superfície in situ, indicando ou não os compartimentos com a maior probabilidade para ocorrência de bens arqueológicos, auxiliando na sua proteção e preservação.

APPLICATION OF THE HIERARCHICAL PROCESS ANALYSIS (HPA) METHOD AS A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR MAPPING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE ISLAND OF SÃO LUÍS, MARANHÃO Abstract: The article discusses the application of Hierarchical Process Analysis (AHP) as a predictive model for the identification of archaeological sites in the island of São Luís - Maranhão, through the construction and evaluation of hypothetical parameters based on seven attributes and their classes, commonly used in archaeological research: the physiographic and environmental indicators. The research considered the existing archaeological knowledge for the region, which counts the existence of 105 archaeological sites. The two data sources were correlated with the selected attributes. After the modeling by the AHP method it was possible to generate maps with different degrees of potentialities, which allowed to verify and validate the effectiveness of the proposal by means of surface prospecting in situ, indicating or not the compartments with the highest probability for occurrence of archaeological, assisting in its protection and preservation. Keywords: Hierarchical Process Analysis (HPA). Predictive model. Mapping. Archaeological sites. Island of São Luís.

<p>Se presentan los primeros resultados de las investigaciones arqueológicas iniciadas en el sector central de la Sierra de San Luis. Estos estudios se enmarcan en un proyecto mayor cuyo objetivo general es comprender las estrategias de uso del espacio implementadas por las sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras en este espacio serrano. Hasta el momento se han realizado trabajos de campo orientados a la prospección de diferentes sectores del área de estudio, el sondeo de potenciales sitios arqueológicos y el registro de estructuras fijas de molienda. La mayoría de los sitios identificados se localizan sobre la vertiente oriental de la sierra, principalmente en las inmediaciones de la localidad El Trapiche. En el caso de las estructuras fijas de molienda, se las encuentra tanto en forma aislada como en conjuntos, presentando, en general, características similares en cuanto a sus dimensiones. El registro arqueológico presentado en este trabajo constituye un primer avance en la generación de información acerca de los grupos humanos que en el pasado ocuparon este sector de la provincia.</p><p><br /><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The first results of archaeological research conducted in the central sector of the San Luis Hill are reported in this paper. These studies are part of a larger project that has the main objective of evaluating the past hunter-gatherer land use patterns in this mountain area. So far, fieldwork has been oriented to the survey of different sectors of the study area, as well as the record of potential archaeological sites and grinding structures. Most of the identified sites are located on the eastern slope of the hill, mainly in the surroundings of El Trapiche locality. Regarding the grinding structures, they were recorded both isolated and clustered, although their dimensions are similar in both cases. Finally, the archaeological record presented here constitutes an important first step in order to generate information about the human groups that inhabited the central sector of the San Luis Hill.</p>

<p>Las primeras menciones sobre la arqueología de la provincia de San Luis ocurrieron en 1867, siendo parte de los trabajos iniciales de la Arqueología Argentina. Sin embargo, la característica principal de la historia de las investigaciones en la provincia es la discontinuidad, con pulsos que fueron vanguardia a nivel nacional y sudamericano (primeros fechados radiocarbónicos del país), a momentos con ausencia total de estudios. Para entender estas oscilaciones, ocurridas en los últimos 150 años, realizamos una revisión de la historia de la disciplina dentro de la provincia. La síntesis no intenta ser una sucesión de citas bibliográficas sobre investigadores, sino que incluye programas de investigación, instituciones y paradigmas desde los cuales se generaron diferentes proyectos. La conjunción de estas variables nos permitió deslindar cuatro períodos de investigación y analizar las causas que impulsaron las agendas de trabajo, reflexionar sobre el estado actual y plantear perspectivas de desarrollo de la arqueología en San Luis.</p><p><br /><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><br />The first mentions of the archeology of San Luis province occurred in 1867, being part of the initial work of the Argentinean Archeology.

To understand these oscillations, which occurred in the last 150 years, we make a review of the history of the discipline within the province. This synthesis does not try to be a succession of bibliographic citations about researchers, but also includes research programs, institutions and paradigms from which different projects were generated. The combination of these variables allowed us to delineate four periods of research and analyze the causes that promoted the working agendas, considering the current situation in order to propose development perspectives for the archaeology of San Luis.</p>

Peggy A. Bulger is Program Administrator for the Florida Folk Life Program at White Springs, Florida, and a co-organizer of the American Folklore Society's new section in Applied Folklore. She writes: I am involved with several colleagues in the formation of an Applied Folklore Section of the American Folklore Society. As you may know, the interest in folklife studies by government agencies and public service organizations has been increasing tremendously in the past several years. An example of this trend is the formation of over thirty statewide folk arts and folklife programs within the past five years. Our own Florida Folklife Program is one such program, established by the Florida Department of State four years ago to promote and preserve the folk cultural resources of Florida. Our program began with the staff of two and new employs a dozen, including two folklorists, an ethnomusicologist, an historian, an archivist and a crafts specialist. We are conducting on-going folklife field research and we disseminate our findings for public consumption through a variety of media: TV programs, radio series, slide/tape programs, festivals, booklets, etc. We are just one program of many in the states that are involved in public folklife programming.
