MODELING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE LOCATION IN THE

ii Acknowledgments I would like to extend my deepest thanks to my advisor, Dr. David Anderson, for his patience, support, and guidance throughout my graduate education. Dr. Anderson’s faith in my abilities never wavered, and he always provided a boost when my selfconfidence faltered. I could not have asked for a better mentor and I consider myself fortunate to count him as friend. I would also like to extend sincere gratitude to my other committee members, Dr. Boyce Driskell and Dr. Kandace Hollenbach. They have been incredibly supportive and patient throughout this process and their insight has vastly improved the final product. I would also like to thank Dr. Gerald Schroedl for his advice and guidance, and for reinforcing for me the importance of hard work and perseverance. Dr. Kenneth Sassaman deserves thanks for starting me down this path, and for his continued support of my research endeavors. I am exceedingly grateful to Robert T. Morgan, Forest Archaeologist for the Francis Marion National Forest. His contribution to this thesis cannot be overstated. He provided the initial impetus for this project, and was generous with funding, resources

Constructing a Planning Regime: Assessing the Beginning Phases of New Jersey's Plan for Development and Redevelopment

Using the idea of regime formation and cooperation in international political economy as a guide, this paper assesses the first stage (Cross-cceptance) of implementing the New Jersey stateplanning process as an attempt to construct a base of mutually shared norms and interests between state and local governments in the area of land use planning. The conclusion is that the first round of implementation was instrumental in building norms and consensus-especially in the face of strong resistance to state planning from the policy environment. The main reason for the effectiveness of the Cross-Acceptance process was that it brought local, county and state officials to a forum where they were able to discuss areas of consensus and discord.
