Samsung smart tags are used as a tool for tracking the location of mule deer and assessing their use in different environments with levels of urbanisation.

Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) and California black oak (Q. kelloggii) woodlands are unique ecosystems, yet little is known about their tree establishment patterns, nor the variability of stand structure. Research objectives were: to describe age, stand structure, and tree regeneration in 4 mixed oak-conifer woodlands in northwestern California. Most white and black oaks established from 1850-1910 with rare establishment since 1950 (< 0.05%). Most Douglas-fir trees established since ~ 1950. All sites had high proportions of oak seedling mortality in open stands. These trends likely reflect the effects of altered disturbance regimes enabling the transition to conifer-dominant stands.

My research seeks to examine the body hair experiences of female HSU students and pressures they face conforming to local normative gender expectations. Drawing on a random sample of 300 female HSU students, I administered an online survey. My survey questions focused on the factors influencing respondents to grow out armpit and leg hair, and how individual characteristics influence women`s body hair practices at HSU. I will present my methods, data, and concluding analysis.

The Costco-Price Collection is an assortment of historic artifacts excavated in 1994 from the current Costco site and former city dump in Eureka, California. A portion (619 artifacts) was kept as a teaching collection in the Archaeology Research Laboratory at Humboldt State University, and has been used to educate students and encourage interest in California archaeology. This presentation will showcase the rehabilitation of this collection from its original inherited state in 2013 to its current incarnation as a useful and coherent resource through the three-year timeline.

My project describes the work put into nominating the Arcata Plaza to the National Register of Historic Places. This is a research based project which highlights the cultural importance of Plaza as it has hosted many large events over the course of its history.

ANTH 352: Experimental Archaeology is an introduction to the principles and applications used in recreating the technologies of the past. Students participate in research, experimentation and experiential components throughout the term. During the course of the Spring 2018 class, students designed and implemented experimental archaeology projects that included wattle and daub construction, ceramic production and materials, consumables including food, bread and mead, ethnographic and archaeological instrument construction, ship-building, book binding, textile production, and ancient weapon technologies.

This project focuses on the healthcare industry and how the healthcare industrial complex can quickly be co-opted as a business interest.

Can the EU and UN survive a challenge to their legitimacy in regards to how each are handling the current refugee crisis. This poster will ask and answer the questions, is the UN effective and democratic, how is the UN handling this crises and how does the security council play a role in this ongoing human rights violation. The next questions are about the EU and how effective is it, is it democratic, how is it handling the crises and what is the comparison between the eastern EU countries and the western EU countries and their viewpoints on refugees. How does the EU and UN compare and contrast and the concluding question, can these dominant institutions survive?

This project is a analysis of the nonverbal communication in the film Modern Times. The analysis is based on theories from Comm 324 Nonverbal Communication and include the use of physical space, gestures and facial expressions to communicate meaning.
