Faunal evidence from the Fayum Neolithic is often cited in framework of early stock keeping Egypt. However, data suffer a number problems. In present paper, large faunal datasets new excavations at Kom K and W (4850–4250 BC) are presented. They clearly show that, despite presence domesticates, fish predominate animal bone assemblages. this sense, there continuity with earlier Holocene occupation Fayum, starting ca. 7350 BC. Domesticated plants animals appear first approximately 5400 The...

It is argued that the notion as profession not and, unlike academic commentary, analysis subject should draw on sociological understandings professions. The wider policy context within which professionalization made also considered. A new, loosely coupled system has been developed Policing’s body, College Policing, central regulatory framework placed...

Archaeologists make inferences about past human behaviour based on patterned material residues in various depositional contexts, including existing landsurfaces. These deposits are generated by processes that may obscure patterns at some observational scales while highlighting others, and interpretive differences can arise from a lack of explicit models deposit formation. Here, an exploratory agent-based model the concept palimpsest is used to examine effects episodic sediment transport...

We describe an experimental test and archaeological application of the solid geometry method for interpretation cortical surface area in lithic assemblages proposed by Dibble et al. (2005). Experimental results support method's accuracy while to from western New South Wales, Australia suggests a repeated pattern selective removal artifacts away their location manufacture. These findings shed light on role curation mobility play use eventual discard those artifact classes which conventional...

AbstractAbstractA test based on the pattern of use-related damage seen projectile points from American Paleoindian sites is proposed to determine whether artifacts identified morphologically as were in fact used hafted projectiles.

Abstract The conventional approach to assessing the archaeological record in most parts of world involves a combination excavation stratified deposits and extensive survey surface deposits. Although widely applied Australia, both research‐based management archaeology, method does not conform well nature here. Over much semi‐arid arid “sites” are, fact, accretion phenomena that are easily interpreted as outcome short‐term behavioral events. Using results from twelve years geoarchaeological...

Abstract The stone artifact record has been one of the major grounds for investigating our evolution. With predominant focus on their morphological attributes and technological aspects manufacture, artifacts assemblages have analyzed as explicit measures past behaviors, adaptations, population histories.

Significance Fossil evidence shows that Polynesians introduced the tropical crop taro ( Colocasia esculenta ) during initial colonization of subtropical South Pacific islands and temperate New Zealand after 1200 CE, establishing garden ecosystems with similar commensal plants invertebrates. Sedimentary charcoal fossil remains indicate how frequent burning perennial cultivation overcame ecological constraints for production, particularly forest cover Zealand.
