APPLICATION OF CONSUMER–LEVEL UAV PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN DIGITAL SURVEY OF CLIFF-BURIAL CULTURE RELICS: A CASE STUDY OF MOUNT WUYI [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 The cliff-burial was an ancient funerary ritual once popular in the Far East Asia (Figure 1), in which the dead were buried high on the cliffs with log coffins (the “hanging coffins”) left in the natural caves, excavated grottoes or on some wood piles.In

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

On the Curious Date of the Rylstone Log-Coffin Burial [PDF]
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 2016 Radiocarbon dates have been obtained from a log-coffin burial excavated in 1864 by Canon William Greenwell from a ditched round barrow at Scale House, near Rylstone, North Yorkshire. The oak tree-trunk coffin had contained an extended body wrapped in a wool textile. The body had entirely decayed and there were no other extant grave goods.

Gristhorpe Man: an Early Bronze Age log-coffin burial scientifically defined [PDF]
Antiquity, 2010 A log-coffin excavated in the early nineteenth century proved to be well enough preserved in the early twenty-first century for the full armoury of modern scientific investigation to give its occupants and contents new identity, new origins and a new date. In many ways the interpretation is much the same as before: a local big man buried looking out to

The South Scandinavian barrows with well-preserved oak-log coffins [PDF]
Antiquity, 2001 Recent archaeological and pedological research on South Scandinavian Bronze Age barrows reveals that the remarkable conditions of preservation in a number of mounds are the result of particular construction techniques or special activities during construction. Augerings indicate that the phenomenon is concentrated within specific groups of barrows with

The Early Bronze Age Log Coffin Burials of Britain: The Origins and Development of a Burial Rite(s)
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 2023 This paper describes the results from a project to obtain radiocarbon determinations from Early Bronze Age log coffin burials. Log coffins have been recognised as a burial tradition since antiquarian excavations uncovered the first examples. However, comparatively few are associated with radiocarbon determinations and many old determinations are very ...

Quantifying permeability of linear barriers to animal movement: The permeability R package
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Animals have always navigated environments characterized by linear features that influence movement, whether rivers, ridges or ravines. Large‐scale changes in land use have led to increasing interactions with anthropogenic features, especially roads and fences.
