This booklet was issued by the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society in response to a demand for a brief ouline of the main features of Prehistoric archaeology in Ohio. The various cultures collectively termed "Mound Builders" were prehistoric, indigenous inhabitants of North America who, during a 5,000-year period, constructed various styles of earthen mounds for religious, ceremonial, burial, and elite residential purposes. These included the pre-Columbian cultures of the Archaic period, Woodland period (Calusa culture, Adena and Hopewell cultures), and Mississippian period; dating from roughly 3500 BCE (the construction of Watson Brake) to the 16th century CE, and living in regions of the Great Lakes, the Ohio River Valley, and the Mississippi River valley and its tributary waters.

Department of Defense, Defense Nuclear Agency, Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, 1985. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Various paginations (Approximately 275 pages). Illustrations. Table of Contents mis-bound with second page first. Cover has some wear and soiling. Marked For Official Use Only but given the passage of time and introduction of related information into the public domain, this limitation is understood to no longer apply. From the Introduction: Forty years after the introduction of nuclear weapons, information is still incomplete concerning the effects on man from ionizing radiation produced by those weapons. the information is important because radiation adversely affect both the combat performance effectiveness and the survivability of personnel. It is hoped that further knowledge will be gained from research such as that conducted by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). Research to define and manage the effects of ionizing radiation on military personnel is the primary responsibility of AFRRI. AFRRI, a unit of the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), is the principal radiobiology research laboratory for the Department of Defense. More

The Aerospace Medical Association, 1947. Reprinted from The Journal of Aviation Medicine, Volume 18, Number 2, April 1947. Wraps. Pages 169-175, [1]. Tables. References. Missing small corner of first page. Stamp and notation on front page. Stamp of Donald J. Kimeldorf, renowned radiation scientist, on front pate. Dr. Patt was with the Medical Field Research Laboratory at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina when he authored this work. He subsequently joined the Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Patt became a leading figure in radiation research. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate certain possible tests of fitness by correlating the scores obtained on these tests with performance in a fatigue run. It was hoped in this way to obtain some idea of the prognostic value of the various tests. A number of physical fitness tests--step-up, oxyhemoglobin reduction time, tilt table, Army Air Forces dynamometer and body sway, were administered. It was believed that participation in the types of exercises involved to the point where the subject signified his inability to continue would present a fairly reliable estimate of fitness if the group were sufficiently motivated. FIfty-one of the 105 men participating in the fatigue test were unable to complete the 18 1/4 hour run (Fail Group). Over 70 per cent of the pass group believed that they could have continued beyond the termination point of the test. The step-up test, body sway, and the medical officers' average rating were the only measures which yielded a significant biserial correlation with performance. The volunteer test subjects were hospital corpsmen and marines. More

Psychological Reports, 1968. Xerox type reprint from Psychological Reports 1973, 33. Stapled at upper left corner. Pages[1], iii-iv, 24 pages. Figures. Tables. References. The name T. L. Pitchford was written on the front page, perhaps indicating authorship. Psychological Reports is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research in psychology and psychiatry. It was established by Robert and Carol H. Ammons in 1955. This study provides extensive data on a wide range of radiation dose levels applied to a statistically significant number of beagle dogs. From a military standpoint the results of this research are an important contribution to the data on the time and duration of incapacitation resulting from exposures to ionizing radiation. The fact that none of the beagle dogs used in these experiments sowed any early transient incapacitation (ETI) at any dose level illustrates the differences in response that must be considered in evaluating the data obtained from animal experiments. Animals exposed to 40 krads or more generally suffered complete incapacitation within minutes of irradiation and remained in that state until succumbed. The dose response data for man are expected to assume greater validity if they are based on experiments using a variety of experimental animals. More

Fort Belvoir, VA: Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2008. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 41 pages (per Standard Form 298 [rev. 8-98]). Small ink notation on upper right corner of front cover. This includes a Conversion Table, abstract, Foreword, Tables, Section 1, Study of the Antitoxic Effect of Unithiol on Cystamine in Dogs. Section 2. Materials and Methods. Section 3. Results. Section 4. Discussion. Bibliography and Distribution List. The authors were with the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. The performing organization in the United States was ITT Corporation, Advanced Engineering & Sciences, Alexandria, VA. It was shown in experiments using a canine model that intramuscular administration of unithiol (monohydrate sodium salt of 2,3-dimerdapt-i-propansulfonic acid, 50 mg/kg) before cystamine (cystamine dihydrochloride, 100 mg/kg, calculation on the salt, intragastric administration) decreases the toxic effect of this radioprotector. The frequency of manifestations of the toxic effects of cystamine (change of behavior, vomiting reaction, decrease of body temperature and so on) is not decreased, but the severity of expression and duration are decreased. The period of agitation induced by cystamine is shortened, and the period and expression of vomiting induced by this preparation are decreased. Respiratory frequency and condition of the heart are lass changed (according to EKG data). More

Acute Sequelae of Radiation Therapy. Cover has some wear and soiling. This work was sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency. H. (Hubert) Rodney Withers (September 21, 1932 – February 25, 2015) was an Australian radiation biologist and physician. He made many contributions to the fields of radiobiology and clinical radiation therapy, but he is best known for his work on post-radiation tissue repair and the effects of ionizing radiation on normal tissues. Withers was born in Queensland, Australia. He received his medical degree from the University of Queensland and his Ph.D. and D.Sc. from the University of London. He worked at the Gray Laboratory in England, the National Cancer Institute, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, and at UCLA where he served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology. He was a recipient of the Enrico Fermi Award, a Presidential award honoring scientists of international stature for their lifetime achievement in the development, use, or production of energy. It was established in 1956 by the United States Department of Energy in memorial of Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi and his work in the development of nuclear power. The recipient of the award receives $100,000, a certificate signed by the President and the Secretary of Energy, and a gold medal featuring the likeness of Enrico Fermi. Robert W. Young retired from the Defense Nuclear Agency. More

American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1955. Reprinted from Science, February 25, 1955, Vol. 121, No 3139, pages 308-309 (blank). Single sheet (approximately 7.5 inches by 10.25 inches), printed on one side. 1 page reprint with table, References and Notes. Edges worn. Stamp with ink notations. Name of Donald J. Kimeldorf stamped at top right corner. Both authors were associated with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. Science, also widely referred to as Science Magazine, is the peer-reviewed academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and one of the world's top academic journals. It was first published in 1880. William Curry Moloney, MD, who studied and treated blood diseases before hematology became a medical specialty, was a professor emeritus of medicine at Harvard Medical School and former director of hematology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He was one of the first hematologists to use chemotherapy to treat leukemia and lymphoma. Dr. Moloney was also an early contributor to the development of specific diagnostic tests, some of which are still in use today. Dr. Moloney was a recognized authority on safe procedures for blood transfusions, and his expertise in blood banks stood him in good stead in World War II, when he oversaw transfusions to wounded soldiers. After the war, in the early 1950s, Dr. Moloney directed research for the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima, Japan. Later, in the Marshall Islands, he studied the effects of errant radiation and the mechanisms that produce leukemia. Kastenbaum worked for 17 months as a statistician with the ABCC. This work established the statistical evidence that the incidence of leukemia is 'high' at distances close to the hypocenter,and normal at distances of 2500 m or more. More

New York: Macmillan, 1909. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Format is approximately 12 inches by 14 inches. 2 Volumes. Top edges gilt. Volume I: vii, 153, [3] pages. Bibliography. Key to Abbreviations for Authorities Cited. Author Index, Subject Index. Printed on Recto side only. Bibliography in three column format. Indexes in five column format. Cover worn. Spine frayed. Front and Back hinges weak, and restrengthened with glue. Volume II has 487, [1] pages, most printed on each side of the sheet. It contains information primarily in statistical tabular form presented across two facing pages. The index at the back is in five column form. Cover worn, with tears, and spine frayed. Rear hinge weak and restrengthened with glue. The author believed that the best way to cover the subject was to divide the work into five parts, each to be complete in itself, and the whole to constitute a comprehensive reference work for our naval history. Part I--Administration of the Navy Department and events and dates of reference in United States Naval History; Part II--Engagements, expeditions, and captures of vessels of war; Part III--Captures of Merchantmen; Part IV--A complete record of every vessels service and fate; and Part V--American Privateers, 1775-1862; The States Navies, 1775-1783, The Confederate States Navy, 1861-1865. Under each event, in addition to the tabular date, the author has endeavored to give a complete list of references to the exact volume and page of every work dealing with the subject, and have enumerated in footnotes such statements, with their authorities, which in his opinion were at variance with the facts. Only Parts I,II & III presented. More
