Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia).

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Commerce, coalitions, and global value chains: Coordinated and collective lobbying on trade

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Global value chains (GVCs) have connected firms in complex networks within and across national borders. However, political economy models often assume away production linkages and thus fail to explain pervasive and diverse trade coalitions cutting across industries and firms. I develop a GVC‐centered framework where production linkages through

Single Cell Analysis Reveals Dynamic Changes of Distinct Cell Populations in Human Nickel Allergy

Allergy, EarlyView.
We investigated cell types mediating the early and late inflammatory responses in human Ni2+‐allergy by scRNA‐Seq. Early responsiveness was mainly mediated by TLR4+TAGLN− endothelial cells indirectly activating TLR4−KRT16+ keratinocytes, and CCR7+DCN+ DCs. Late responsiveness was crucially driven by infiltration of KLF2+ central memory T cells and TLR4+

Surprise and the singular plural

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract Bodymind diversity, disability scholars argue, contributes to community and to ideals of human flourishing. Phenomenologists like Nancy and Arendt, meanwhile, foreground our human pluralism. But what does it mean to inhabit (and invent) a plural “we” across significant bodily difference? And why is the experience of surprise important to it? A

Quality from Kent: Preliminary results from the analysis of fifth‐ to seventh‐century silver alloys

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores early results from the chemical and lead isotope analysis of 30 silver‐alloy objects from southeast England dating between the fifth and seventh centuries CE, presenting limited aspects of the three main analyses that were conducted. First, a comparison of the results gained from surface x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) values and

Production of arsenical bronze using speiss on the Elephantine Island (Aswan, Egypt) during the Middle Kingdom (Middle Bronze Age) (c.2000–1650 BCE)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents the first direct evidence of the slags produced during the cementation alloying process of Cu with speiss inside ceramic crucibles, thus representing Cu alloying with As in Middle Kingdom Egypt. The settlement deposits from the Middle Bronze Age were excavated on Elephantine Island, within modern Aswan.
