ABSTRACT The Aso‐3 tephra is one of the most significant widespread marker layers from the Middle to Late Pleistocene, generated by a large caldera‐forming eruption at the Aso volcano in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. Despite its importance, a distal co‐ignimbrite ash correlative has yet to be clearly identified, primarily because although volcanic glass ...

Obsidian Sourcing Analysis from Chiquiuitan, Guatemala [PDF]
The intent of this thesis is to analyze obsidian artifacts from Chiquiuitan, Guatemala to see if the samples can be traced to known obsidian sources in the Maya region based on their unique chemical elements.

ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.

Marine Sediment Record of Eruption‐Fed Vertical Density Currents, Kermadec Arc (Rangitāhua)
Abstract Products of explosive volcanism can be transported into the oceans, where they form marine tephra layers. The processes responsible for their deposition are often complex, involving multiple transport mechanisms. During the RV Investigator voyage IN2022‐V02 (2022), a 35‐cm‐thick marine tephra unit was piston‐cored at 2,460 m water depth in the

Magnetic properties of geraisites, the first tektite strewn field identified in Brazil
Abstract Geraisites are a newly recognized class of tektite from Brazil. They occur as centimeter‐sized, elongated to subspherical bodies scattered across surface gravel and shallow subsurface layers within a ~90‐km‐long strewn field extending between the municipalities of São João do Paraíso and Curral de Dentro, near the border between the states of ...

Abstract Thalassemia and sickle cell disease (SCD) are among the most common monogenic disorders worldwide. They cause chronic hemolytic anemia, the consequences and prognosis of which vary considerably depending on the genetic characteristics of patients and the healthcare system in their country of residence.

A Question of Identity: Young Māori Connections to Marae—Do They Matter?
Cultural connection, identity and belonging are increasingly shaped by urbanisation, mobility and the conditions of digitally integrated and often mediated life. Maintaining place‐based Indigenous relationships and responsibilities is important especially given the social, cultural or geographic distance between Indigenous people and their ancestral ...

Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)
