Surface Rights: Sovereignty, Citizenship and the Question of Mineral Rights in the Woodward Commission

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article retraces the Woodward Commission on Aboriginal Land Rights in the Northern Territory, focusing on the question of mineral rights. Mineral rights were assumed in the Commission's terms of reference and expected by many Aboriginal people. Why, then, were they not recommended by the Commission?

CPT and pile tests in granitic residual soils

Geotecnia, 1990
Realizaram-se ensaios de cone holandês e ensaios de estacas em solos residuais graníticos e comparam-se os resultados dos dois tipos de ensaios. Foram ensaiadas duas estacas, uma de 600 mm de dimetro feita com tubo aberto e extracção de solo e outra de 500 mm feita com a cravação   no solo de um tubo fechado.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Structural damage and dynamic failure mechanism of granite residual soils under impact loading

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
A series of impact tests with various frequencies and amplitudes are performed to study the influences of impact loading on the mechanical behaviors of granite residual soils, particularly for the development of deformation and excess pore water pressure.

Investigating the Dietary, Economic, and Social Practices of a Neolithic Funnel Beaker Community in Wanna, Germany, Through Raw Material and Organic Residue Analyses of Pottery

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...
