Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Dynamic performance of transmission pole structures under blasting induced ground vibration [PDF]
, 2009 Structural integrity of electric transmission poles is crucial for the reliability of power delivery. In some areas where blasting is used for mining or construction, these structures are endangered if they are located close to blasting sites.

THE LEGITIMACY TRAP: Street Vending Heterogeneity and Selective Enforcement in San Francisco
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Literature on street vending regulation often emphasizes the challenges in enforcing legal frameworks due to unclear laws or insufficient state capacity. However, it tends to overlook diversity among vendors themselves along crucial parameters such as spatial location, community ties and processes of goods procurement.

Patents and Supra‐Competitive Prices: Evidence From Consumer Products
Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A patent system is a central tool in innovation policy. The prospect of monopolistic pricing supposedly encourages firms to innovate. However, there is scant empirical evidence supporting the existence of higher markups for patent‐protected products.
