Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...

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

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.
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.

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

First evidence of a Palaeolithic occupation of the Po plain in Piedmont: the case of Trino  (north-western Italy)

Peer Community Journal
The Trino hill is an isolated relief located in north-western Italy, close to Trino municipality. The hill was subject of multidisciplinary studies during the 1970s, when, because of quarrying and agricultural activities, five concentrations of lithic ...

First assessment of brush‐harvested native seed mixes in southern Brazilian grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of grassland ecosystems in southern Brazil remains limited by the absence of a structured supply chain for native seeds and seedlings. Objectives Here, we present the first evaluation in Brazil of mechanized, multi‐species seed harvesting from native grassland remnants using a brush harvester.

Lithic Technology in Italy. Reflections on the Study of Prehistoric Lithic Industries after 30 Years of "Eric Boëda Method"

IpoTESI di Preistoria, 2018
During last three decades, the technological approach confirmed to be a useful tool to understand stone tools. This approach is mostly based on the well known methodology proposed by the French scholar E. Boëda. Here we propose to reconsider the epistemological value of the Boëda’s technological approach: diachronic and synchronic technical changes ...

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

Coupled plagioclase dissolution and K‐feldspar overgrowth precipitation preserve anomalously high permeability in deeply buried sandstones

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

Wari Lithic Technology on the Northern Coast of the Andes: Geochemical, 2D Geometric Morphometric, and Technological Analyses of Obsidian Bifaces From San José de Moro

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 994-1008, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.
