The information presented here includes the results of strontium isotope analysis on 75 baseline samples from nine Fremont sites in Utah. The baseline samples are of lagomorphs and rodents with limited foraging ranges. The baseline ranges for each site were calculated with two standard deviations. Also included are the raw strontium isotopic data for 30 large game samples from Wolf Village, a Fremont site in Utah. Additional data include a map showing the location of the sites in this study, box plots portraying the local ranges of nine Fremont sites in Utah, and an individual value plot comparing the Wolf Village large game samples to the strontium baseline for the site. These data compliment the discussions and interpretations found in “Identifying Strontium Baselines and Large Game Animal Trade at Fremont Sites through Strontium Isotope (87Sr/86Sr) Analysis” [1].
At least 38 states have created service areas or “districts” for each of their community colleges. However, little is known about the geographic boundaries of community college districts and the policymaking process that defines them. We studied state policy documents nationally and the actual district boundaries of Texas community colleges to investigate the larger policymaking processes of determining boundaries. We found significant variation across the United States, including in who determines the boundaries and whether the districts have associated tuition reductions. In our case study, we also found evidence that the majority of Texas’s community college districts appear to reflect their larger local environments, although a small number may exhibit evidence of racial imbalance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
