What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S8-S30, June 2026.
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)

Therapeutic Bark Gouging as an Effective Complement for the Management of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus While Preserving Habitat for Secondary Scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 780-790, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...

Experimental Study on the distance of rock falls under different influencing factors

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2016
:Through the shaking table test, studied the distance of different shape and size rock falls under different peak acceleration seismic, sine wave frequency and slope shape, and cleared the influence of rock falls on the buildings at the slope foot.The ...

A nonlinear model coupling rockfall and rainfall intensity based ewline on a four year measurement in a high Alpine rock wall (Reintal, German Alps) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2009
A total of more than 140 000 kg of small-magnitude rockfall deposits was measured in eight rockfall collectors of altogether 940 m<sup>2</sup> in size between 1999–2003 below a 400–600 m high rock face in the Reintal, German Alps ...

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Semi-Automatic Determination of Rockfall Trajectories

open access: yesSensors, 2014
In determining rockfall trajectories in the field, it is essential to calibrate and validate rockfall simulation software. This contribution presents an in situ device and a complementary Local Positioning System (LPS) that allow the determination of ...

Nanoseismic monitoring for detection of rockfalls. Experiments in quarry areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Le frane per crollo da ammassi rocciosi fratturati sono tra i processi di instabilità gravitativa che più frequentemente interessano opere antropiche quali tagli su versanti naturali o artificiali, pareti di cava, trincee stradali, autostradali o ...

Disentangling palaeoecological and outcrop controls on MISS occurrence in c. 1 Ga fluvio‐lacustrine facies of the Diabaig Formation, Scotland

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The c. 1 Ga Diabaig Formation of north‐west Scotland preserves diverse lacustrine and fluvial facies and abundant microbial and non‐microbial surficial sedimentary features. 172.6 m of section was logged across seven localities to assess the distribution of microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) relative to lithofacies, substrate ...

Resolving a debate over social freedom

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract When I am unable to drive due to a road blockade, there seems to be a morally relevant difference between a case in which the road is blocked by workers and a case in which the road is blocked by a landslide. Many political philosophers tried to capture this pretheoretical judgment at a more abstract level through the formulation of a concept ...
