Ceramic Production at the Khaybar Walled Oasis During the Mid/Late Third–Early Second Millennium BCE: Evidence for a Burnished Ware Horizon in Northwest Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 108-137, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The knowledge of Early and Middle Bronze Age ceramics in Northwest Arabia remains limited, particularly in the Medina region, due to the scarcity of archaeological contexts dated to the fourth–first half of the second millennium BCE. Recent research in the Khaybar oasis has revealed significant Bronze Age occupation.

High‐resolution compound‐specific δ15N isotope dietary study of humans from the Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1309-1326, October 2025.
Abstract Numerous isotopic studies of Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic diets suggest a shift from marine‐based to terrestrial‐based subsistence strategies. However, bulk collagen isotope analysis may overlook low‐level marine food consumption. This study combines bulk collagen stable isotope data from four Neolithic sites (Quanterness, Rattar East ...

THE ROLE OF IRON AGE STELAE IN THE CREATION OF A SYMBOLIC LANDSCAPE ON THE ATLANTIC COAST OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 159-181, May 2025.
Summary This paper investigates a complex archaeological landscape on the Iberian peninsula’s Atlantic coast. The present‐day landscape is characterized by dense forest and abrupt topography, posing challenges for a systematic research program of landscape archaeology.

Kuwae, Epi and Tongoa Islands: Transformations of a volcanic landscape in central Vanuatu

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 42-62, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a detailed overview of archaeological research undertaken on Epi and Tongoa, in central Vanuatu. These islands were previously connected to one another and respectively formed the western and eastern portions of Kuwae, one of the largest islands in the Vanuatu archipelago, until the catastrophic Tombuk volcanic eruption ...

From Stones to Structures: Typology, Building Techniques and Chaînes Opératoires of Late Prehistoric Megalithic Tombs in Menjez (Northern Lebanon)

Open Archaeology
The megalithic funerary monuments of Menjez (Akkar, northern Lebanon), dated to the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age, display a remarkable architectural diversity that reflects a localized process of innovation within the Levant.

Nanaga Site of Wasavulu (Labasa, Fiji): Mapping of a Traditional Religious Site of Vanua Levu

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 63-70, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Pre‐Christian religious sites of the Fijian Archipelago have been seldom studied and even less often mapped by archaeologists. This is especially the case for the enigmatic Nanaga enclosures, whose functioning has remained poorly documented by the first ethnographers of the 19th century.

The Gift of Intelligence and the Sacramentality of Real Presence: Overcoming the Dataist Metaphysics of Modern Cognitivism

Modern Theology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 921-947, October 2024.
Abstract In the last twenty‐five years scientific research on embodied cognition and related discussions in the philosophy of technology and science have led to two groundbreaking insights: 1. Perceptions, memories, meanings, and volitions are neither located in the brain nor reducible to intentional acts of ‘autonomous subjects’. 2. Human intelligence

Scattering Evidence for an Ancient Subducted Slab Using the Unique Raypath P*PKP

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 18, 28 September 2024.
Abstract We observe high‐frequency scatterers consistent with the interpretation of a tabular high‐velocity structure under the Indian Ocean as an ancient subducted slab. We use a previously rarely used raypath, P waves scattered in the slab into PKP waves (P∗ ${\mathrm{P}}^{\ast }$PKP), from 12 earthquakes and explosions in five locations recorded on ...

Lead isotopic compositions link copper axes from Kietrz (Poland, 3500–3350 BC) to Slovak and Balkan copper mines

Archaeometry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 840-859, August 2024.
Abstract Chemical and lead isotope analyses aided by metallographic examination of copper axes found at the Late Neolithic settlement of Kietrz in southwestern Poland provide new evidence for the origin of copper and metal trade routes in the region. Our results indicate that metal used for the axes could be sourced from copper mines in modern Slovakia,
