Back to the future: Using ancient Bere barley landraces for a sustainable future
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView., 2023 Bere is an ancient barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) that was once widely grown in northern Britain, where its ability to grow on poor soils and under challenging climatic conditions made it a valuable staple. By the end of the 20th century, Bere had largely been replaced by higher‐yielding modern varieties and only survived in cultivation on a few Scottish ...

The astronomical orientation of the urban plan of Alexandria [PDF]
Oxford Journal of Archaeology 31, 2012 Pages 381 389, 2011 Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 BC. The newly founded town was conceived as an orthogonal grid based on a main longitudinal axis, later called Canopic Road. We analyse here the astronomical orientation of the project and propose that the main axis was deliberately oriented towards the rising sun on the day of birth of Alexander the Great.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is a common agreement among archaeologists that assessing visibility in the field is essential to measure the accuracy of their observations. Archaeologists widely expect that low visibility negatively impacts the recovery rate of artefacts and sites during field‐walking surveys.
