Most studies of domestic architecture in the Southeast have been conducted at the single-site scale. As a result, broader spatial and temporal patterns of variation in houses and households are not well understood. To address this problem, Steere constructed a database that catalogues the architectural features of 1,258 structures from 65 sites in the Southern Appalachian region and surrounding areas. Significant trends identified by this comparative study include changes in the size and spacing of houses, changes in architectural investment, and a secular trend toward the increasing segmentation of houses. Using a theoretical framework developed from household archaeology and anthropology, Steere argues that certain aspects of this architectural variation can be explained by changes in household economics and household composition, symbolic behavior, status differentiation, and settlement patterning. More generally, he proposes that large-scale patterns of diachronic and synchronic variation in domestic architecture are best explained by changes in social organization"--Provided by publisher.Indians of North AmericaSouthern StatesAntiquitiesIndians of North AmericaDwellingsSouthern StatesHistoryHousehold archaeologySouthern StatesIndian architectureSouthern StatesHistoryArchitecture, DomesticSouthern StatesHistoryExcavations (Archaeology)Southern StatesSouthern StatesAntiquitiesAppalachian Region, SouthernAntiquitiesElectronic books.Indians of North AmericaAntiquities.Indians of North AmericaDwellingsHistory.Household archaeologyIndian architectureHistory.Architecture, DomesticHistory.Excavations (Archaeology)975.004/97Steere Benjamin A.1981-1051800MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465823603321The archaeology of houses and households in the Native Southeast2482570UNINA03894oam 2200601 450 99646564940331620210419171606.01-280-95150-897866109515053-540-72950-X10.1007/978-3-540-72950-1(CKB)1000000000478541(EBL)3061586(SSID)ssj0000157531(PQKBManifestationID)11149664(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000157531(PQKBWorkID)10139066(PQKB)10599083(DE-He213)978-3-540-72950-1(MiAaPQ)EBC3061586(MiAaPQ)EBC6386357(PPN)123727847(EXLCZ)99100000000047854120210419d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFoundations of fuzzy logic and soft computing 12th International Fuzzy Systems Association World Congress, IFSA 2007, Cancun, Mexico, June 18-21, 2007, proceedings /Patricia Melin [and four others] (editors)1st ed. 2007.Berlin ;Heidelberg :Springer,[2007]©20071 online resource (835 p.)Lecture notes in artificial intelligence ;4529Includes index.3-540-72917-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Relation Between Interval and Fuzzy Techniques -- Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Their Applications -- The Application of Fuzzy Logic and Soft Computing in Flexible Querying -- Philosophical and Human-Scientific Aspects of Soft Computing -- Search Engine and Information Processing and Retrieval -- Perception Based Data Mining and Decision Making -- Joint Model-Based and Data-Based Learning: The Fuzzy Logic Approach -- Fuzzy Possibilistic Optimization -- Fuzzy Trees -- Fuzzy Logic Theory -- Type-2 Fuzzy Logic -- Fuzzy Logic Applications -- Neural Networks and Control -- Intelligent Agents and Knowledge Ant Colony.This book comprises a selection of papers from IFSA 2007 on new methods and theories that contribute to the foundations of fuzzy logic and soft computing. These papers were selected from over 400 submissions and constitute an imp- tant contribution to the theory and applications of fuzzy logic and soft c- puting methodologies. Soft computing consists of several computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and other techniques, which can be used to produce powerful intelligent systems for solving real-world problems. The papers of IFSA 2007 also make a contribution to this goal. This book is intended to be a major reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying new computational and mathematical tools to achieve intelligent solutions to complex problems. We consider that this book can also be used to get novel ideas for new lines of research, or to continue the lines of research proposed by the authors of the papers contained in the book. The book is divided into 14 main parts.Eachpart contains a set of papers on a common subject, so that the reader can ?nd similar papers grouped together. Some of these parts comprise the papers of organized sessions of IFSA 2007 and we thank the session organizers for their incredible job in forming these sessions with invited and regular paper submissions.Lecture notes in computer science.Lecture notes in artificial intelligence ;4529.Fuzzy setsCongressesFuzzy sets511.322Melin Patricia1962-IFSA World CongressMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK996465649403316Foundations of Fuzzy Logic and Soft Computing772641UNISA
