    The present paper, then, compares archaeological data from the Warm Springs Dam Project in northern Sonoma County (Fig. 1) with various linguistically derived reconstructions of Pomoan prehistoryin an attempt to determine the time-depth of Pomoan presence in the area. The paper argues for the necessity of such a "combined approach" and examines the requirements and assumptions inherent in it. In so doing, what follows can be seen as a test case of at least one way in which culture process may be elaborated. Two cultural breaks are present in the Warm Springs sequence, one of which seems best explained by the influx or impingement of Pomoan-speaking peoples and one which can be explained in terms of in situ functional reorientation, perhaps linked with social intensification

    Kayak Motors (semester?), IPRO 353

    Our IPRO is aimed at laying the groundwork for a small company that supplies attachable, battery-powered motors for kayaks. Throughout the world, water sports are a popular activity for families and couples that look to spend time together while enriching their health. Recreational kayaking is a popular and convenient way for people to spend time with their family while engaged in an enjoyable activity. Due to imbalances in physical abilities within the family (such as the wife having to carry the paddling load when her husband gets tired), the pleasurable experience could become too rigorous for some individuals to enjoy. Our product is an easy-to-install kit that provides convenient, on-demand power assistance to enhance the kayaking experience.Deliverables for IPRO 353: Kayak Motors for the Fall 2005 semeste
