The first regional assessment of pottery from late Saxon to Tudor times covers the technology, production and distribution, society, before providing a select gazetteer sites their main types, arranged by region England-Wales-Scotland within three broad time ranges. Dating problems are taken as less important than questions on industrial specialization social structure.

Abstract The thickness of glaciers in High-Mountain Asia (HMA) is critical determining when the ice reserve will be lost as these thin but remarkably poorly known because very few measurements have been made. Through a series ground-based and airborne field tests, we adapted low-frequency ice-penetrating radar developed originally for Antarctic over-snow surveys, deployment helicopter-borne system to increase number measurements. manoeuvrability provided by helicopters ability our detect...

Abstract. Rocky debris covers around 7.3 % of the global glacier area, influencing ice melt rates and surface mass balance glaciers, making dynamics hydrology debris-covered glaciers distinct from those clean-ice glaciers. Accurate representation in models is challenging, as measurements physical properties supraglacial are scarce. Here, we compile a database measured reported thickness that call DebDab open to community submissions. The majority (90 %) compiled 172 sources literature,...

Rocky debris layers cover an increasing portion of glacier ablation areas as glaciers thin and retreat in response to climate change, progressively altering surface melt rates. However, determining the thickness physical properties supraglacial that are required for accurate representation models is challenging, measurements scarce. Here, we provide openly available dataset (DebDab, https://zenodo.org/records/14224835) compiles over 83 13 regions Randolph Glacier Inventory. The majority...

The objective of the research described in this article is to improve measurement, prediction and optimization sustainable building material performance by integrating a decision-making framework for selection materials with information modeling (BIM) tool. Integration BIM model tool addresses difficulties making decisions earlier design/build process allows specific sustainability trade-off analyses be conducted, using actual conditions characteristics. It intended way data utilized...

In 1983 a decision was made to involve conservation specialists in the ab initio technical (site and artefact management) assessment of an important new class archaeological site. When excavate site eventually made, conservators were also invited join subsequent phases project-not just provide traditional expertise but for reasons. latter instance this involved application staff assisting with understanding formation processes then pursuing problem-oriented inquiry about people once material...

This paper summarizes the application of dynamic discrete event simulation to study automated terminal operations and performance from earliest stages throughout planning process. A series fast-tuned, agile, specifically designed models were utilized answer critical questions provide insights into operation processes. Individual created for quay cranes, a single storage block configuration, transfer truck staging areas, landside traffic system, intermodal facility. These exercises...
