Chinese Jews : an incidence of assimilation into Chinese culture, 2010
Item — Call number MU Thesis Edl
Identifier: b2825631
Introduction [excerpt]
Comparisons of Chinese and European Jewish customs, traditions, or observances do not explain the assimilation of Sephardic Chinese Jews by World War I. While a comparison would be intriguing, it goes beyond the scope of the research presented here. The purpose of my research is to examine the critical factors that explain their assimilation. Why China is the only country where the dominating culture almost completely absorbed Jewish identity is the question. My assumption is that Chinese...

Identifier: b7930603
Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to understand how the introduction of European flntlock ignition technology with its associated gunflint manufacture influenced Native American lithic technological traditions.

The aims of this study are threefold. First, the literature exploring this coevolution and the concomitant...

Is the 'collecting bug' dead? : a look at hunting and gathering 'stuff' - from the Stone Age to the 'age of Amazon' , 2020
Item — Call number MU Thesis Sch
Identifier: b7930091
Abstract
Accumulating assemblages of significant, rare, and/or valuable items is not a new phenomenon. Interesting pebbles, found amassed in an 80,000-year-old French cave, may mark the beginning of collecting. Over time, Noah, King Tut, and the Medicis kept the collecting spirit alive. And aristocrats followed their lead; as explorers and amateur archaeologists told of their finds, upper class wanted to emulate them by accumulating the world's treasures; 'cabinets of curiousities' (...
