Görsel malzeme olarak kayda geçen ne olursa olsun, kendisini taşıyan yüzeylerin ve kaçınılmaz olarak görselliğin gelişiminin tarihsel süreç içinde, nasıl evrelerden geçtiğini ortaya koymak bu tezin ana konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Günümüz insanım geçmişe bağlayan belki de en büyük neden, geçmişte üretilenin, bugün ; sanat, bilim ve teknolojinin oluşumundaki belirleyici olmasıdır. Gelenek her zaman üretilenin bir parçası olmuş, geleneği çağdaş bir dille yorumlayanlarda çağımn sanatçıları arasında yer almıştır. Bugüne kadar üretilen her şey insanın izidir. Ve bu çalışmalarda akim ve ruhun temsilleri vardır. Aborjinlerin duvara ellerini koyarak etrafını boyamaları ve ellerinin izdüşümlerim kaya yüzeylerine taşımaları ile başlayan 'temas', fiziki ve tarihsel süreç koşullarında incelendiğinde insanoğlunun serüvenini karşımıza çıkar. Burada varoluşun temel göstergeleri vardır. Duvar resimleri ile başlayan süreç gelişmiş, tablet yüzeyler, piktogram ve ideogramlar, papirüs ve parşömenler, hep bu süreci bugüne taşıyan aynalar olmuşlardır. İnsanoğlunun en önemli belleğini ise kağıt ve kağıt yüzeyleri olmuştur. Hem bellek olarak bizatihi fotoğraf, hem de fotoğrafın taşıyıcısı kağıt bu sürecin önemli parçasıdır. 'El yapımı kağıt' baskı sistemlerinin var olma nedenidir. Hem taşıyıcı olarak taşıdığı tüm görüntülerin estetiğini oluşturan öğelerden biridir, hem de kendi başına bir 'şey'dir. Bu anlamda günümüzde kağıt yüzeyler insanoğlu için hala en önemli ifade ediş yüzeyleridir.VI Bu tez, kağıdı tarihselliği içinde ele alıp, onu bir sanat yapıtı oluşturma bağlamına taşıyan süreci konu almış ve nihayetinde de kişisel ifade edişin yüzeylerine dönüştürülmüştür. Main theme of this thesis is to display the inevitable stages which development of visuality passed through history regardless of the surfaces that carry it and whatever is recorded as visual material. May be the most important reason of today's man's passion for the past is whatever is produced in the past has been the determining factor for art,science and technology today.Tradition has always been a part of the of the produced material and the ones who improvised the tradition with a contemporary approach has taken its place among the contemporary artists. Whatever is produced until today is the mark of human.And in these, mind and soul are represented. When Aborgines put their hands on the walls and painted around them and carried the reflection to the rocks surface started the ' contact ', if this is looked through physical and historical conditions considered, we will see the adventure of human.There is the main hints of existence. The period that started with wall pictures has developed and carried this period to our time as mirrors on plate surfaces, pictograms and ideograms, papirüs and parchoments. The most important memory of man has been the paper and paper surfaces.Both photograph as a memory itself and paper as the carrier of photograph are very important parts of this period. ' Hand made paper ' is the reason of printing systems existence.Both as a carrier its one of the factors that create the esthetic of the visions and it is a ' thing ' itself.Vffl In this meaning paper surfaces are still the most important description surfaces for human beings today, The subject of this thesis, taking paper in this historical way, is the process of turning it into an art material and in conclusion turned into the surfaces of personal descriptions. 126

As a result of a cultural resource investigation of the Gila River Farms expansion area conducted by Archaeological Consulting Services Ltd. (ACS), a number of significant cultural resources were identified within the project area. Of particular interest was cultural material associated with the World War II Japanese-American internment camp of Camp Rivers. This camp was used between May, 1942 and November 1945 and housed approximately 12.000 Japanese and Nisei (Japanese-Americans born and educated in the United States). The camp was named after Jim Rivers who was the first Native American of Piman descent to be killed in action during World War I. The camp was divided into two units: Butte and Canal camps. The project area surrounds the larger of these units, Butte Camp. Butte Camp covered approximately 789.25 acres (319 .4 ha) at the foot of Sacaton Butte. The camp was divided into a series of blocks, each with a requisite set of facilities for housing and feeding for 300 persons. A block characteristically had 14 barracks. one mess hall, a recreation hall. a laundry and ironing room. and two latrines. The complex also included a hospital, administrative offices, warehouses. auto repair shops, a post office, a camouflage net factory, a school, and other common use facilities. A review of the project by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Reclamation, Gila River Indian Community, and State Historic Preservation Office resulted in the recommendation that further data recovery be undertaken in order to mitigate potential effects of the project. A plan designed to recover further information primarily from the remains associated with Butte Camp was developed by Dr. Richard Effland, Dr. Margerie Green, and Ms . Monique Sawyer-Lang of ACS. This plan involved a number of specific tasks to assure that the important qualities of the cultural material within the project would be preserved through recordation and documentation prior to construction. These tasks initially were defined at a meeting held on March 1, 1988 which was attended by representatives of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Reclamation, State Historic Preservation Office, Gila River Indian Community, Gila River Farms, Franzoy-Corey Engineers and Architects, and Archaeological Consulting Services. ACS initially had investigated an area which covers approximately 5,625 acres (2276 ha) south of Casa Blanca on the Gila River Indian Community. The purpose of this investigation was to identify potentially significant historic and/or prehistoric cultural properties which might be affected by development of the area. While the main portion of the Butte Camp has been excluded from development by the Gila River Farms, several peripheral components of the camp will be affected. These components include deposits of trash which appeared to be relatively isolated within the desert surrounding Butte Camp as well remains of the camp' s dairy. These remains were considered components of Camp Rivers. the whole of which is potentially eligible for National Register inclusion. Deposits of trash from the Butte Camp were identified surrounding the north and east sides of the camp. These areas were located north of Seed Farm Road in an area which was surveyed intensively. Areas to the southeast and south of the camp (south of Seed Farm Road) were not surveyed during the initial survey, but it is assumed that the remains extended into these areas. In order to fully delineate the extent of the trash scatter surrounding the camp, an intensive 100% survey of the previously unsurveyed portions of area southeast and south of the camp, was performed. This survey defined more deposits of trash as expected. The purpose of this survey was not only to delineate the full boundaries of this scatter of trash, but also to define any other unknown components which may relate to the World War II Japanese-American internment camp. Data relating to prehistoric remains within the area were also collected as warranted. As was expected, isolated prehistoric artifacts and limited scatters of prehistoric artifacts were encountered along with the historic period remains. None of these meet the criteria for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Recordation during the survey has provided documentation on the distribution and nature of the prehistoric phenomena. A pattern reflecting travel and limited use of the area is suggested. This is similar to the pattern found throughout the project area.
