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, EarlyView.
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)

Problems and research issues associated with the hybrid control of force and displacement [PDF]

open access: yes
The hybrid control of force and position is basic to the science of robotics but is only poorly understood. Before much progress can be made in robotics, this problem needs to be solved in a robust manner.

‘You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get?’. The Jodłowno Hoard (Pomerania, Poland) as Evidence of Long‐Distance Contacts in the Early Iron Age

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents multifaceted analyses of metal artefacts from the Jodłowno Hoard (Northern Poland), revealing that the metal originated from Iberian polymetallic ore deposits. Transported as raw ingots via Atlantic maritime routes, this copper was reworked locally into regionally distinctive forms.

Traditional and Geometric Morphometrics and Invariant Shape Descriptors of Catfish Otoliths in the Yucatán Peninsula: Tools for Species Identification and Individual Size Estimation at Maya Archaeological Sites

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of otolith shape analysis for species identification and size estimation in Ariopsis felis and Bagre marinus, based on 181 modern otoliths obtained from a scientific collection and recent sampling in the coastal regions of Campeche and Yucatán, as well as 39 archaeological otoliths corresponding to the Early ...

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...
