A Relational Perspective on Land in Armed Conflict: Analysing the Village Guard Mobilisation in Turkey

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 194-204, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the Turkish state's Village Guard system, revived in the 1980s as part of its counterinsurgency strategy against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). While often framed as a defensive militia, the Village Guards became central to the state's exceptional governance in Kurdistan, both facilitating military control and ...

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

The Zagros Mousterian in the Zagros, Caucasus, and Armenian Highlands

European Journal of Archaeology
The great technological and typological variability identified among the Middle Palaeolithic (MP) assemblages previously assigned to the Zagros Mousterian in the Zagros suggests that this industry is not a homogeneous cultural unit. The archaeological record from the Caucasus and Armenian highlands contributes important data to understand the ...

Magmatic and Tectonic Structures in the Crust Beneath Armenia and Surrounding Regions of Lesser Caucasus Inferred From Body‐Wave Earthquake Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Armenian Highlands, a tectonically active segment of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone, exhibit widespread Quaternary volcanism, rapid uplift, and intense seismicity. However, the lithospheric processes driving these phenomena remain poorly understood.

Deep Sources of Recent Volcanism in Armenia Inferred From Ambient Noise Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We perform Rayleigh wave ambient noise tomography to investigate crustal seismic velocity structure and sources of volcanism in Armenia. Armenia, a key part of the tectonically and volcanically active Caucasus‐Anatolia region, is actively being deformed by the ongoing Arabian‐Eurasian continental collision.

Understanding multiple pathways of the impacts of socio‐economic shocks on large carnivores

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 3104-3125, November 2025.
Abstract Large carnivores are ecologically, economically and socially important, but they are also among the most threatened species worldwide. These species face numerous threats, most importantly habitat transformation, prey depletion and hunting.

The Role of Contact in Explaining Linguistic Convergence1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 479-513, November 2025.
Abstract In this paper, I explore the question of how linguistic convergence emerges and what the role of contact might be. My case study is the spread of headed relative clauses built around wh‐relative markers in the Standard Average European languages.

Analysis of Paleointensity Results Under Different Interpretation Approaches: A Case Study on the Korkhi Volcanic Sequence (Lesser Caucasus, Georgia)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract In this study we focus on the investigation of the absolute intensity records of two volcanic subsequences, aiming to enrich the global paleointensity database for the last 5 Ma, which currently shows important dispersion. We present new absolute paleointensities obtained from the Plio‐Pleistocene volcanic sequence of Korkhi (Djavakheti ...
