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...

Estudio antropológico de un individuo hallado en el edificio religioso medieval de la plaza Eduardo de Castro (Astorga, España). ¿Muerte accidental o intencionada?

Diferenciar entre fracturas perimortem y postmortem no es tarea fácil de desempeñar, por lo que las características macroscópicas que pueden observarse en una fractura perimortem son claves a la hora de diferenciarla de una postmortem. Sin ...

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...

Apresentamos um conjunto de ações, iniciadas em 2014 e hoje em andamento, no município de Gurupá, Pará. É um trabalho realizado pelo Projeto OCA – Origens, Cultura e Ambiente, do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Este texto discute formas de en...

Archaeology as Anthropology

Abstract It is argued that archaeology has made few contributions to the general field of anthropology with regard to explaining cultural similarities and differences. One major factor contributing to this lack is asserted to be the tendenc...

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...

The Languages of Archaeology

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...

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...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...
