Araguainha Dome, Brazil: A polygonal impact structure due to a complex pre‐impact regional structural framework

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the structural framework of the north–northwestern Paraná Basin in Brazil to test whether the pre‐impact structures in this region may have had any influence on the first‐order formation and morphostructure of the Araguainha impact structure (AIS).

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...

Lithics and personhood in the lateglacial of north west Europe

, 2009
This thesis examines aspects of human personhood as expressed through lithic artefacts in north west Europe during the Lateglacial. The research sites are Hengistbury Head in Britain, Rekem in Belgium and a cluster of sites in the Neuwied Basin, in ...

Geology of the central uplift of the Kamestastin Lake impact structure, Labrador, Canada

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The ~28 km Kamestastin (Mistastin) Lake impact structure is a relatively well‐preserved and well‐exposed complex impact structure. The central uplift of this structure is accessible as two islands in the middle of Kamestastin Lake. We present an updated, detailed geological map and description of Horseshoe and Bullseye islands that provides ...

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 ...

Variation in Lithic Technological Strategies among the Neanderthals of Gibraltar

PLoS ONE, 2013
THE EVIDENCE FOR NEANDERTHAL LITHIC TECHNOLOGY IS REVIEWED AND SUMMARIZED FOR FOUR CAVES ON THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR: Vanguard, Beefsteak, Ibex and Gorham's. Some of the observed patterns in technology are statistically tested including raw material selection, platform preparation, and the use of formal and expedient technological schemas.

BRINGING BACK FAMILIAR FORMS: RECYCLING QUINA SCRAPERS AT THE LATE LOWER PALAEOLITHIC QESEM CAVE, ISRAEL

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.
Summary This study presents a technological analysis of 18 old patinated scrapers and spalls, mostly of Quina technology, that were recycled into new scrapers of the same type at the Late Lower Palaeolithic site of Qesem Cave, Israel (420–200 kyr). Recycling scrapers into the same Quina and demi‐Quina types offers a rare, controlled opportunity to ...

CONNECTIVITY AND CHANGE: GLAZED POTTERY NETWORKS IN THE MEDIEVAL EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN (ELEVENTH–FOURTEENTH CENTURIES AD)

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.
Summary This paper investigates the economic and political transformations of the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean (late eleventh to mid‐fourteenth centuries AD) through the lens of material culture and Social Network Analysis (SNA). Using the distribution of seven types of glazed pottery as archaeological indicators, the study examines changing patterns
