This study examines the presentation of suicide within the genre of
the eighteenth-century novel. Referencing several key writers of
the period, McGuire demonstrates that their work inscribes a
nationalist imperative to frame suicide as self-sacrifice.

"The Prehistory of Gold Butte "uses a theoretical perspective
rooted in human behavior ecology and other foraging models to
present the results of one of the largest and most comprehensive
archaeological investigations ever undertaken in southern Nevada,
involving the systematic survey of more than 31,000 acres, the
documentation of more than 377 sites, and the excavation of nine
prehistoric sites. Gold Butte--at the crossroads of the Mojave
Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau in southern
Nevada--has a 12,000-year record of human occupation with
archaeological elements that can be traced to all three culture
zones.
Dramatic developments occurred in this area of the Desert West.
Farmers suddenly appeared in the Virgin River basin about 1,600
years ago. At such iconic sites as Lost City, Main Ridge, and Mesa
House, full village and agricultural life developed over the span
of a few hundred years only to completely vanish by AD 1250 after a
series of droughts and other cultural disruptions. The Patayan held
sway for several hundred years, between AD 1100 and 1500, but
didn't advance much beyond the Colorado River corridor. Finally,
the Southern Paiute arrived and occupied not only the Virgin River
basin and Gold Butte but much of the northwestern quadrant of the
Southwest from at least the time of historic contact (AD 1500) to
the present.
This mix of cultures illustrates historical contingency, inplace
development, and external relationships that should be expected
along a boundary area such as Gold Butte. By looking at hinterlands
adjoining the prehistoric settlements that clustered along the
Virgin River corridor before, during, and after the Puebloan
period, the authors suggest that changes in settlement- subsistence
and lifeways at core settlements along the riverine corridor have
corresponding effects on the character and intensity of hinterland
occupation.
