Luna Farming Legacy: A Porción of Edinburg

Descendants of Spanish Colonial settlers have been practicing subsistence farming along the Rio Grande for over 250 years. As that same river became the international boundary between the US and Mexico in 1848, landownership and the landscape began to change. As issues in Mexico such as the Mexican Revolution pushed families over the river into the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, many folks established themselves as farmers alongside the new arrivals from the American Midwest in the early 1900s. The guarantee of successful year-round farming was a prominent theme and the Lunas were willing and able to embark on that challenge. As their life in the US began with some time in Los Ebanos, the family eventually found themselves purchasing land and farming in Edinburg. Today Luna family members are still farming in a section of northwest Edinburg fondly referred to as Lunaville by fellow farmers.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/chapspublications/1000/thumbnail.jp

De las porciones a las colonias: La fuerza del aprendizaje con enfoque local y comunitario dentro de la educación desde el preescolar hasta la preparatoria - Un estudio de caso desde El Valle del Río Grande de Texas

El proyecto titulado De las porciones a las colonias: la fuerza del aprendizaje con enfoque local y comunitario dentro de la educación desde el preescolar hasta la preparatoria es una iniciativa que redefine la importancia del aprendizaje con relevancia cultural en las aulas escolares de la actualidad, cada vez más diversas en la composición de su alumnado. Mediante la integración de un enfoque interdisciplinar que incluye la Antropología, la Arqueología, la Biología, la Geología y la Historia, el programa CHAPS presenta un método eficiente para brindar apoyo a los profesores de El Valle del Río Grande a la hora de elaborar currículos escolares con relevancia cultural, a la par que se satisfacen los requisitos educativos establecidos a nivel estatal y federal.

Assessing 3D metric data of digital surface models for extracting archaeological data from archive stereo-aerial photographs.

Archaeological remains are under increasing threat of attrition from natural processes and the continued mechanisation of anthropogenic activities. This research analyses the ability of digital photogrammetry software to reconstruct extant, damaged, and destroyed archaeological earthworks from archive stereo-aerial photographs. Case studies of Flower's Barrow and Eggardon hillforts, both situated in Dorset, UK, are examined using a range of imagery dating from the 1940s to 2010. Specialist photogrammetric software SocetGXP® is used to extract digital surface models, and the results compared with airborne and terrestrial laser scanning data to assess their accuracy. Global summary statistics and spatial autocorrelation techniques are used to examine error scales and distributions. Extracted earthwork profiles are compared to both current and historical surveys of each study site. The results demonstrate that metric information relating to earthwork form can be successfully obtained from archival photography. In some instances, these data out-perform airborne laser scanning in the provision of digital surface models with minimal error. The role of archival photography in regaining metric data from upstanding archaeology and the consequent place for this approach to impact heritage management strategies is demonstrated
