Ground‐penetrating radar amplitudes to roots: A numerical modelling framework for mapping coarse root system architecture

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Observations of three‐dimensional (3D) coarse root system architecture remain limited because most measurement approaches require excavation. Here, we combined dense single‐ and multi‐channel 500 MHz ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) surveys with a flow‐guided connectivity framework to non‐destructively characterise the coarse root architecture ...

Monsters of finance

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.
