This document summarizes a project to map the Log Providence Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery to document burial locations and preserve the legacy of the historic African American church. Students created a detailed map of the cemetery identifying headstones, possible unmarked graves, and burial patterns. The map will help avoid future disturbances and allow planning of new burials. The project also provided historical context on the church and individuals buried in the cemetery.

The Church of the Black Nazarene, Quiapo, Manila, a very special and old ChuchFergus Ducharme
A little out of our comfort zone. We explore our first church in Manila. Do not miss this visit to the Church of San Pedro Bautista, better known as the Church of the Black Nazarene. The devotions of the Black Nazarene include parading a statue of the Nazarene through the streets of Manila on January 9th of each year. The procession normally takes between 18 and 23 hours to follow its entire course. It is attended by up to 9 million or more faithful who escort the statue on its processional through the streets. It is truly something to experience.

Nuclear Science and Prehistoric Pottery: Chemical Variability of Ceramic Reso...Matthew T. Boulanger
Analyses of Native American pottery found in northern New England have typically followed a normative approach focusing on formal variability, intended to address questions of culture history and chronology. Although these methods and goals are essential to laying the groundwork for further study, they are by no means the end goal of archaeological research. Since the 1950s, archaeologists have increasingly adopted analytical methods grounded in the realm of the physical sciences to examine sources and methods of artifact production. The resulting interdisciplinary field, referred to as archaeometry, draws together anthropology, physics, chemistry, and geology to identify the decisions made by prehistoric cultures. Recent nuclear and geological analyses of natural clays and prehistoric pottery from Vermont and New Hampshire serve to demonstrate how archaeologists may employ techniques grounded in the physical sciences and move beyond asking “Who?” and “When?” to begin pursuing the “How?” and “Why?” of the archaeological record. These data suggest there is significant chemical variation among clay sources in the region, and that this chemical variation may be related to depositional regimes. Further, comparison of archaeological pottery samples reveals decisions made concerning clay and temper acquisition, as well as suggesting evidence for intraregional trade and other forms of human interaction.
Salvage Archaeometry: Rescue, Preservation, and Dissemination of Geochemical ...Matthew T. Boulanger
Invited presentation at the 74th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, Atlanta, GA (2009).
Archaeological provenance research has increased exponentially since nuclear reactors at Berkeley, Brookhaven, and Michigan established archaeometry laboratories in the 1960s. Yet, few first-generation laboratories exist today. Data from these labs represent substantial investments of resources and energy; however, these data are slowly being lost through laboratory closure and personnel retirement. We discuss efforts to salvage records from laboratories at Manchester and Berkeley to ensure availability to future researchers. We recommend current laboratories adopt protocols that ensure data are preserved in perpetuity. Data preservation is relevant to both current and future research, and to an historical understanding of our discipline.

Compositional Analysis of Prehistoric Shell from Eastern North AmericaMatthew T. Boulanger
http://tinyurl.com/c4oaxjz
Shell from fresh- and saltwater mussels was used throughout prehistory in eastern North America. Religious or ceremonial iconography was depicted on shell gorgets and necklaces, crushed shell was used as an additive for ceramics, and beads were fashioned from drilled fragments of shell, to name but a few uses. Hypotheses regarding the provenance—or source—of these shell artifacts have often relied on assumptions based on the modern distribution of taxa and the nearest potential source. Activation analysis of shell to determine its chemical makeup has the potential to evaluate some of these hypotheses in a manner that is un-influenced by preconceived notions of cultural influence or recent changes in the geographic range of taxa. Samples of pre-Columbian shell from archaeological deposits across the eastern U.S. are analyzed. Statistical evaluations of their compositions results in the creation of compositional groups that reflect factors of habitat and geology. Results of this study suggest that activation analysis of shell for determining provenance may provide archaeologists with a novel and exciting tool for reconstructing cultural interaction.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Introduce project and the general purpose Indicate who will be talking
Discuss that they brought their slaves with them Large plots of land were acquired for relatively small sums This area included the first ranges (11,12) ever sold in Boone County
Discuss historical significance – many black churches were formed as separate entities due to continued second class treatment from white members George Hubbard made the resolution in February of 1866 for the establishment of a separate church, housed in a brush arbor First known as African Church of New Salem, renamed as Log Providence when the permanent location was acquired and the first building was constructed using logs. Further discuss the history and the unity surrounding this congregation Indicate why we give a range for the numbers of founding members Structure as it stands now is the sixth construction since the founding in 1866 (brush arbor included)
Indicate that this is two sides of one tombstone
Discuss the information in the dissertation regarding tombstone styles Does this one fit the style of the time? Talk about the trends of the African-American churches for this period
Brief discussion of the photo, the sign of the times, etc.
Discuss his importance in the church’s history Talk about the meaning of homecoming Mention the number of church’s he preached at and how that was an indication of the time
Elaborate further on the reasons the church sought our assistance to map the cemetery Mention this picture (taken IN THE early twentieth century) and what they are doing
No known history, but the early date suggests that he was around during the founding – many white folk in the Three Creeks area named Ellis Discuss possible social implications (although more likely financial and familial) and reasons for not resetting this stone Indicate the similarities and the differences between this stone and Eliza Gray’s headstone.
Discuss the reasons this project is supportive of the NRHP nomination Briefly outline how this helps the church Bass family was an important family to Boone county history and the slaves of that family formed an integral part of the early church Apart from the economic activity, one of the first manifestations of freedom in Three Creeks was the founding of Log Providence
Discuss which features we included when recording with GPS How we numbered the features when mapping them for the church Which stones were excluded when recording Small, obviously naturally occurring Define evaluation Indicate which soil cores were recorded and how we chose the locations we took them from. Indicate reason for not looking at temporal patterning yet (too widely dispersed even when grouped by decade and many stones do not have dates).
Point out Church, Picnic Area, Boundaries, Parking lot, Sinkhole Area Caveats (Survey Bias) Accuracy of GPS Most points gathered on the same day under good conditions and with the same GPS unit About 30 points collected at a later date, but with a more powerful GPS unit (some duplicates that match previous points well, within 1-2 feet) Can’t record what you can’t see. We know some stones have been moved Others are partially buried, perhaps some are completely buried? 283 Total Markers or Headstones 266 Clearly Labeled Headstones 17 Markers (Metal, Wood, Concrete) No immediately obvious temporal patterning, though this will be examined Some potential rows/columns North-South oriented rows, approx. 6 ft apart (Point Out On Slide) Plots approx. 3 ft apart
Fieldstones and slabs used throughout much of history as markers Possibility that some of these fieldstones are not markers Some patterns evident Appearance of Rows and relatively equally spaced (Point On Slide) Leads to hypothesis: Any group of fieldstones or slabs that show similar spacing as headstones, or are located within clearly definable rows with known headstones, are more likely to represent unmarked headstones. Other stones are still possible headstones
Most of the clearly marked headstones show clear patterning Approximately 6 feet between rows, and 3 feet between individual plots Rows are clearly evident in some areas History has obscured these patterns Weathering of stones and other natural process Movement of stones (1920s) Freeze-Thaw Action? Vandalism?
Combining known and potential headstones shows that some of the fieldstones clearly fit into the cemetery’s overall layout Also allows refinement Three rows of stones at bottom left Some of these stones have been moved from their original placements
Other methods to determine whether a fieldstone represents headstone Later markings indicating names and dates of death Unsure how these were determined, but without testing, we must assume that they are accurate Look at large screen, make sure picture text is legible
Known headstones and likely headstones (based on patterning) Patterning appears to be evident (North to South rows, somewhat evenly spaced) Although still some clear deviation from this pattern But do we really expect clear and consistent patterning given what is known about the history of the church and cemetery?
Final map Shows Known headstones and those fieldstones that are considered likely to be headstones Also shows fieldstones that are possibly headstones, but we have no corroborating evidence to support reclassifying them Accuracy of GPS unit may also influence the classification (point out on slide some stones that are slightly off) Soil cores, revealed disturbed soil profiles and may indicate areas of ground disturbance
Brief statement about this stone and why we have it in the presentation
