We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia Principale was controlled by hydrothermal dolomitisation from fault‐controlled fluids during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic rifting phase. Dolomitisation

Archeological Investigations at the Hudnall-Pirtle Site (41RK4) An Early Caddo Mound Center in Northeast Texas [PDF]
The Hudnall-Pirtle site (41RK4) is situated on a large T-1 alluvial terrace of the Sabine River in northern Rusk County in Texas. This area of the state, commonly called Northeast Texas, is part of the Southern Gulf Coastal Plain, a relatively level ...

Beyond olfaction: New insights into human odorant binding proteins
Abstract Until today, the exact function of mammalian odorant binding proteins (OBPs) remains a topic of debate. Although their main established function lacks direct evidence in human olfaction, OBPs are traditionally believed to act as odorant transporters in the olfactory sense. Now, available RNA‐seq and proteomics data identified the expression of

Remote Sensing at the Horace Cabe Site (41BW14) [PDF]
A magnetometer survey was conducted at the Horace Cabe Mound site (41BW14) in 2005 by Walker and Schultz as part of the Bowie County Levee Realignment project in Bowie County, Texas.

Abstract Anthropogenic climate change affects regional hydrological cycles and poses significant challenges to the sustainable supply of freshwater. The Central China water tower (CCWT) is the key source region feeding the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and its runoff is indispensable for the surrounding mega‐city clusters. Here we present a reconstruction

Ecological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Determinants of Cyanobacterial Biomineralisation
Cyanobacteria contribute to the global carbon cycle by biomineralising CO2 into solid carbonates. Unlike photosynthesis, biomineralisation is a less‐understood, multifaceted and adaptive metabolic process with significant global impact. It involves cell wall structures, genetic factors, and metabolic pathways that enable mineral formation and help ...

Coastal hunter-gatherers and social evolution: marginal or central? [PDF]
General accounts of global trends in world prehistory are dominated by narratives of conquest on land: scavenging and hunting of land mammals, migration over land bridges and colonisation of new continents, gathering of plants, domestication, cultivation,

ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

World prehistory from the margins: the role of coastlines in human evolution [PDF]
Conventional accounts of world prehistory are dominated by land-based narratives progressing from scavenging and hunting of land mammals and gathering of plants to animal domestication and crop agriculture, and ultimately to urban civilisations supported

BURIED ORNAMENTS: EXPLORING FUNERARY BEHAVIOURS IN THE CHALCOLITHIC FROM THE LOWER DANUBE
Summary This article focuses on personal adornments found in Chalcolithic funerary contexts from the Lower Danube. Generally, these artefacts are made from exotic raw materials originating from the Mediterranean sea, particularly Spondylus shells, along with Glycymeris or Antalis shells, and less frequently from local materials.
