Neolithic pottery from the settlement of Mergen 6 in the Lower Ishim (groups III and IV): characteristics and interpretation

In this paper, a ceramic complex (groups III and IV) of the early Neolithic settlement of Mergen 6 (Lower Ishim River region, Western Siberia, 7th millennium BC) is examined. The aim of the work is to analyze the materials through the prism...

Caracterización de lavas vítreas de fuentes y sitios arqueológicos del Formativo Temprano en la Subárea Circumpuneña: Resultados preliminares y proyecciones para la prehistoria atacameña

Se entregan los resultados del estudio preliminar de caracterización por métodos fisicoquímicos (PIXE y EDXRF) y mineralógico de muestras líticas identificadas a nivel macroscópico como "basalto vítreo" procedentes de sitios arqueológicos d...

Instrumenta de los murileguli. Una visión desde el taller de púrpura romano de Lobos 1 (isla de Lobos, Fuerteventura, Islas Canarias)

Las excavaciones en el yacimiento de Lobos 1, de época tardorrepublicana y altoimperial, han proporcionado un importante registro de las herramientas usadas por los trabajadores de la púrpura. Realizamos un estudio, de forma contextual y em...

Nomads in Archaeology

Nomads in Archaeology addresses the problem of how to study mobile peoples using archaeological techniques. It therefore deals not only with the prehistory and archaeology of nomads but also with current issues in theory and methodology, pa...

Virtual Reality in Archaeology

This volume is an accompanying volume to CAA 98 volume (BAR S757). The papers were originally presented at the Festival of Virtual Reality in Archaeology which took place simultaneously to the twenty-sixth annual CAA conference in Barcelona...

ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS IN ARCHAEOLOGY: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL BIOMARKER REVOLUTION*

Organic residue analysis utilizes analytical organic chemical techniques to identify the nature and origins of organic remains that cannot be characterized using traditional techniques of archaeological investigation (because they are eithe...

Cladistics and archaeology

is a method used in biology and paleobiology to establish phylogeny: what produced what and in what order. It is a very specific method, developed in Germany in the 1950s and currently the primary phylogenetic method in the world. has also ...

Core Scouring Dynamics and Gravitational Wave Consequences: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Hardening

We present a multimessenger investigation of supermassive black hole binary (SBHB) hardening by jointly comparing models to the observed stellar mass deficits of nearby core galaxies and to nanohertz gravitational-wave background measuremen...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Reliable Approximation of Long Relaxation Timescales in Molecular Dynamics

Many interesting rare events in molecular systems, like ligand association, protein folding or conformational changes, occur on timescales that often are not accessible by direct numerical simulation. Therefore, rare event approximation app...

27 yr of Spaceborne IR Astronomy: An ISO, Spitzer, WISE, and NEOWISE Survey for Large-amplitude Variability in Young Stellar Objects

Infrared observations can probe photometric variability across the full evolutionary range of young stellar objects (YSOs), from deeply embedded protostars to pre-main-sequence stars with dusty disks. We present 3–8 μ m light curves extendi...

Cusp of Non-Gaussian Density of Particles for a Diffusing Diffusivity Model

We study a two state “jumping diffusivity” model for a Brownian process alternating between two different diffusion constants, D+>D−, with random waiting times in both states whose distribution is rather general. In the limit of long measur...

An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics is a comprehensive, well-organized and engaging text covering every major area of modern astrophysics, from the solar system and stellar astronomy to galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, and cosmol...

To Study the Relationship between Intellectual Capital and Productivity in Iran Productive Industries

Successful companies have realized that investment on intellectual capital to create valuable products and services is essential. Moreover, in unsafe situations for new investment, enterprise has no choice except optimal use of available re...

Estimation of China’s Green Investment Efficiency in Belt and Road Countries -Based on SBM-Undesirable Model and Malmquist Index Model

Green and low-carbon development is an important element of the Belt and Road Initiative, and a reasonable and objective evaluation of China’s green investment efficiency in B&R countries is of great significance to promote the sustaina...

Drug situation and drug combating in China: trends and opportunities to strengthen international cooperation by the example of the SCO

In recent years, the drug situation in China has generally stabilized, and according to official Chinese statistics, the number of drug addicts is reducing. However, China remains one of the key sources of synthetic drugs and precursors to ...
