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...

El color en las producciones cerámicas del Neolítico antiguo

En las últimas décadas se ha venido destacando la existencia de unas determinadas producciones cerámicas, durante el Neolítico Antiguo, dotadas de un importante valor simbólico. En el presente trabajo profundizamos en la relación existente ...

Tomb of Kairsu discovered in Abusir (AC 33)

The tomb of Kairsu is located north of the pyramid of Neferirkare and is part of a so far unexplored cemetery dating to the reign of Neferirkare – Nyuserre. The mastaba features several highly unusual characteristics. Basalt blocks had been...

Morphological features of the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population as a result of adaptation to the geographical and bioclimatic conditions of the Altai highlands

This paper is aimed at scrutinizing the dependence between the morphological features of the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population and the geographical and bioclimatic conditions in the Altai valleys and intermountain basins. Across the terr...

LA PRODUCCIÓN METÁLICA DE ÉPOCA ROMANA EN MINA DE SÃO DOMINGOS (MÉRTOLA, PORTUGAL)

Com este trabalho fazemos um périplo pela história contemporânea da exploração mineira em São Domingos (Mértola, Portugal), quando foram postos a descoberto a maioria dos trabalhos mineiros romanos e dos seus equipamentos de mineração. Todo...

Archaeology and Assemblage

Assemblage is a concept common to a number of academic disciplines, most notably archaeology and art, but also geology and palaeontology. Archaeology can claim a special link to the term assemblage, though novel approaches to the concept of...

Demography in Archaeology

Demography in Archaeology, first published in 2006, is a review of current theory and method in the reconstruction of populations from archaeological data. Starting with a summary of demographic concepts and methods, the book examines histo...

ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE BODY

Under the influence of phenomenological approaches, a semiotic perspective on the body is being replaced in archaeology by analysis of the production and experience of lived bodies in the past through the juxtaposition of traces of body pra...

Archaeologies of Ontology

Bruno Latour and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro provided the initial impetus for explicitly ontological research in archaeology. Their impact on archaeologists, however, has been quite different. What I call the “metaphysical archaeologists” tr...

Grand challenges for archaeology

Archaeology is a source of essential data regarding the fundamental nature of human societies. Researchers across the behavioral and social sciences use archeological data in framing foundational arguments. Archaeological evidence frequentl...

A Generic Formula and Some Special Cases for the Kullback–Leibler Divergence between Central Multivariate Cauchy Distributions

This paper introduces a closed-form expression for the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between two central multivariate Cauchy distributions (MCDs) which have been recently used in different signal and image processing applications where ...

Making Preliminary GRBs Real-Time Astronomical Reports

We present a standalone software tool which makes reports for analysis and evaluation of GRBs. Recently, analysis and evaluation of GRBs were done without help of semiautomated tools or routines; so the time elapsed from the detection until...

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...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...
