Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American 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
American 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 ...

Tradition Itaparica and early lithic industry of Lapa do Boquete (Minas Gerais, Brazil)
Revista do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, 1995 Some archaeogists have grouped the early holocenic lithic industries of central Brazil in a wide paleo-indian horizon named Tradition Itaparica, which remains are mostly found in rockshelters.

Kunara Lithic Industry: A Preliminary Report
, 2020 Kunara is located in Suleymanieh Province, in the North-Eastern part of Iraqi Kurdistan and excavated since 2012 by the Peramagron Project headed since 2015 by Dr. Aline Tenu. The lithic industry is composed of 102 artifacts made in both flint and obsidian. Flakes, blades and bladelets (unretouched and retouched) were found in all areas (A, B, C, D and

LITHIC TECHNOLOGY OF THE SOSRUKO ROCKSHELTER EARLY HOLOCENE INDUSTRIES
History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Caucasus, 2023 The paper discusses the emergence and spread of pressure blademaking in the Elbrus region of the North Caucasus. The results of the lithic technology analysis of the key stratified site of the Mesolithic Layers M-1 and M-2 of the Sosruko Rockshelter are presented. The materials from the excavations of 1955-1957, conducted by S.N.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 972-986, August 2026.ABSTRACT The Aso‐3 tephra is one of the most significant widespread marker layers from the Middle to Late Pleistocene, generated by a large caldera‐forming eruption at the Aso volcano in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. Despite its importance, a distal co‐ignimbrite ash correlative has yet to be clearly identified, primarily because although volcanic glass ...

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2668-2684, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 674-686, August 2026.ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.
