Pansharpening of PRISMA products for archaeological prospection [PDF]

IGARSS 2024 - 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium
Hyperspectral data recorded from satellite platforms are often ill-suited for geo-archaeological prospection due to low spatial resolution. The established potential of hyperspectral data from airborne sensors in identifying archaeological features has, on the other side, generated increased interest in enhancing hyperspectral data to achieve higher ...

Prehistoric sanctuaries of Daunia date back several thousand years. During the Neolithic and Bronze Age the farmers in that region dug hypogea and holes whose characteristics suggest a ritual use.

Measuring entanglement in material traces of ritualized interaction: Preferential attachment in a prehistoric petroglyph distribution [PDF]

arXiv, 2020

Agropastoral possibilism and the trajectorial affordances of Danish inland heaths: a study of deep‐time entrapment Possibilisme agropastoral et affordances des trajectoires dans les landes de l'arrière‐pays danois : une étude des entraves dans le passé lointain

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
History does not unfold along a single trajectory, and yet the socioecological configuration of landscapes may narrow the directions history can take. This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Self-referentiality in Justification Logic [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The Logic of Proofs, LP, and other justification logics can have self-referential justifications of the form t:A. Such self-referential justifications are necessary for the realization of S4 in LP. Yu discovered prehistoric cycles in a particular Gentzen system as a necessary condition for S4 theorems that can only be realized using self-referentiality.
