Redescription of the cranial morphology of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil using x‐ray computed tomography

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) are fossorial reptiles with highly specialized cranial morphology, yet their fossil record is frequently limited by fragmentary preservation. This study provides a detailed osteological redescription of the skulls of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa ...

Informatique et archéologie en France : les années 1980

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2019
The 1980s were decisive for the spin-off of computer science in archaeology. Whether in the field or in the laboratory, the arrival of microcomputers was largely responsible for their generalisation.

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

From fragmentary remains to spatial translation: a five-dimensional interpretive framework for planning heritage in historically layered urban contexts – the case of the Mingde Gate in Sui-Tang Chang’an

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
In historically layered urban contexts, the walls and gates of ancient capitals often survive as fragmentary remains, making the planning meanings embedded in them difficult to identify, reorganise, and communicate in urban space.

Conceptual Model of Permafrost Degradation in an Inuit Archaeological Context (Dog Island, Labrador): A Geophysical Approach

Geosciences
Characterizing permafrost is crucial for understanding the fate of arctic and subarctic archaeological archives under climate change. The loss of bio-physical integrity of archaeological sites in northern regions is still poorly documented, even though ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Mapping a Subsurface Water Channel with X-Band and C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar at the Iron Age Archaeological Site of ‘Uqdat al-Bakrah (Safah), Oman

Geosciences, 2018
Subsurface imaging in arid regions is a well-known application of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Archaeological prospection has often focused on L-band SAR sensors, given the ability of longer wavelengths to penetrate more deeply into sand. In
