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.

Stonehenge revisited: A geochemical approach to interpreting the geographical source of sarsen stone #58

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 1-19, February 2025.
Abstract It is tempting in material sourcing analyses to treat chemical data primarily as numbers to be sorted, while disregarding their interlinked geochemistries. Consideration of geochemistry, however, often leads to the drawing of more nuanced and reliable conclusions.

Mesohabitat Spawning Preference of the Anadromous Twaite Shad (Alosa fallax, Lacépède 1803) in the Tagliamento River (Italy)

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 1, January‐February 2025.
ABSTRACT Alosa fallax (Lacépède, 1803) is an anadromous fish which utilizes European rivers for spawning. As many anadromous species, Twaite shad populations are declining due to river damming and hydromorphological alterations, which impact their spawning sites. In this study, we developed mesohabitat suitability criteria for the spawning period of A.

The unfinished promise of infrastructure in post‐apartheid South Africa

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 37-55, January 2025.
Abstract This article explores aspects of the “unfinished” using notions of human‐centered design in African public infrastructure and the importance of involving the “users” and “beneficiaries” in infrastructure development and delivery. Infrastructure, both conceptually as an idea and in its constructed material reality, has a huge impact on society,

Early Miocene Fore‐Arc Magmas Derived From Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle During the Japan Sea Opening: Geochemistry of the Ishimoriyama and Iritono Volcanic Rocks in the Iwaki District, NE Japan

Island Arc, Volume 34, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT During the Miocene opening of the Japan Sea, volcanic activity expanded greatly toward the trench due to the injection of the hot asthenosphere into the mantle wedge. The Ishimoriyama and Iritono volcanic rocks, both erupted at around 17.5 Ma in the Iwaki district on the Pacific coast of NE Japan, are products of this event.
