WHAT ONCE WAS SHALL BE AGAIN: PALAEOLITHIC BIFACES AT THE NEOLITHIC SITE OF GIV'AT RABI EAST

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 398-423, November 2026.
Summary Giv'at Rabi East is a Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site located in northern Israel, interpreted as a flint workshop. One area has been spatially identified as a ‘biface locality’; it is characterized by the presence of finished axes and preforms alongside débitage. Interestingly, Acheulean bifaces have also been recovered from this area.

Influence of Particle Properties and Grain Size on Aggregation in Dry Particle‐Laden Volcanic Jets

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Explosive volcanic eruptions can inject large amounts of ash into the atmosphere. These suspended particles pose hazards to aircraft, so a better understanding of the ash residence time and transport distance is needed. Fine particles combine to form larger aggregates, altering their settling behavior.
