Name(s): Creator (cre): Routledge, Jennifer, Thesis advisor (ths): Szpak, Paul, Degree committee member (dgc): Janz, Lisa, Degree committee member (dgc): Williams, Jocelyn, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This study uses stable isotope analysis on both the organic and inorganic fractions of ostrich eggshell obtained from archaeological excavations in Mongolia, northern China, and southern Siberia. By establishing the δ13Corg, δ15N, δ13Cinorg, δ18O isotopic compositions of the eggshell of the Asian ostrich (Struthio asiaticus), this study provides insight into the maximum northern range of… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Sharpe, Robert Simon, Thesis advisor (ths): Elton, Hugh, Degree committee member (dgc): Conolly, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Janz, Lisa, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis approaches the issue of Viewshed Analysis and how it can impact the understanding of a medieval environment. Centered on the High Medieval period of Cilicia, in what is today Southwestern Turkey, the precision of Viewsheds in a complex terrain is evaluated, and the role of the fortifications in the environment is expanded upon. The maps that were generated for this thesis… more
