Toward a Politics of (In)Fertility: Reproductive Debility in Africa

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa has some of the highest estimated rates of infertility or involuntary childlessness in the world, leading epidemiologists to refer to parts of the region as the “infertility belt.” The medicalization of infertility and the situating of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) as the treatment for infertility have siphoned ...

Burying Futures: Artisanal Mining Deaths and the Politics of Negligence in Zimbabwe

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the gold‐mining town of Kwekwe, central Zimbabwe, injury and death are a constant presence. Collapsing shafts, sudden explosions, gang fights, and neglected health infrastructure characterize the everyday lives of the town's impoverished residents.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

The Massif Central as a Centre of Roman Brass Production? New Geochemical Data of the So‐Called Hemmoor Buckets

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New analytical data of the so‐called Hemmoor buckets, a group of brass vessels from the Roman period of the 2nd to 3rd century ad that are widespread throughout central and eastern Europe, show considerable similarities with the polymetallic Cévennes ore deposits in south‐eastern France in terms of their geochemical characteristics and lead ...

Combined Approach to Locate Medieval Fortified Manor Houses in Central Moravia (the Czech Republic)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A systematic prospection of medieval fortified manor houses (FMHs) in Central Moravia (Czech Republic) was conducted with the aim of mapping their distribution and facilitating both further scholarly research and more effective heritage protection by responsible institutions.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.
