"Two tribes": Handaxe shape variation shows distinct regional cultural groups in southeastern Britain between 424 000 and 374 000 BP

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines regional and chronological variations in Acheulean handaxe morphology during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (c. 425–365 ka BP) in Britain. Using a data set of 737 handaxes from 13 securely dated sites in East Anglia and the Thames Valley, we apply three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis to examine morphological ...

Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

World prehistory from the margins: the role of coastlines in human evolution [PDF]

, 2004
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

Progressive Colour Equalisation and Detail Refinement for Underwater Image Enhancement

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater image enhancement remains a critical challenge in computational vision due to complex distortions caused by wavelength‐dependent light absorption and scattering. This paper introduces CEDFNet, a novel two‐stage framework that leverages advanced computational intelligence techniques for robust and high‐fidelity underwater image ...

On the problem of continuity: a theory of culture beyond invention Le problème de la continuité : une théorie de la culture au‐delà de l'invention

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Anthropologists, in common with social theorists more generally, have often understood social life as an emergent phenomenon grounded in practices of creativity and improvisation. Where stasis and continuity feature, these are often presented as illusory manifestations of underlying processes of ‘invention’, or as external impositions upon otherwise ...

Scientific divers quantify first known outbreaks of cold-water coral disease [PDF]

, 2009
Coral diseases are widely reported in the tropics but the first incidence of cold-water coral disease was not noted until 2002 when divers recorded an outbreak at 10-28 m depth off Lundy in a NE Atlantic marine protected area.
