open access: yes, 2009
Quartz is one of the main raw materials used by the prehistoric communities from the Lower Paleolithic to the Holocene. There have been difficulties to develope a proper technological analysis on this material due to low morphological standarization of the products, caused by the application of the flint´s analitical criteria (ringcracks, ripple ...

Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 629-639, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...
