Tracing the medieval expansion of the Amuric language family through linguistics and archaeology
Amuric (also known as Nivkh) is a language family found in the Lower Amur Basin and on Sakhalin Island. While geography suggests that the roots of Amuric lie in the Lower Amur region, the early history of the family is largely unknown. In the archaeological literature, the Nivkh are often associated with the Okhotsk culture, which spread from Sakhalin to occupy northern Hokkaido in the early medieval era (ca. AD 500–1000), implying that the Okhot…
The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology and Language
Linguists have long described their findings in an archaeological context, while archaeologists have been interested in what language can tell them about the past, but our understanding of human prehistory has been revolutionalized in recent years by growing incorporation of interdisciplinary perspectives, especially from ancient DNA. The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology and Language provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of how archaeolo…

Unionization rates, inequality, and poverty in Canadian provinces 2000-2020
Unions can increase the power of workers through both collective bargaining and political avenues, potentially creating less income inequality and poverty. However, this potential may not be realized. Drawing on power resource theory, this study uses panel data to investigate the connection between unionization and two measures of after-tax inequality - the income share of the top 1% and the Gini coefficient - and three measures of poverty - the …

The origins of saddles and riding technology in East Asia
Innovations in horse equipment during the early Middle Ages provided advantages to societies from the steppes, reshaping the social landscape of Eurasia. Comparatively little is known about the precise origin of these crucial advances, although the available evidence points to early adoption in East Asia. The authors present new archaeological discoveries from western and northern Mongolia, dating to the fourth and fifth centuries AD, including a…
Paleo-health of Neolithic wet-rice farmers in the Yangtze River Delta
Several cases that do not fit the agricultural adaptation model, in which people's health deteriorated with the shift from hunting-gathering to farming, have been reported, such as the introduction of rice agriculture during the Yayoi Period in Japan and the Iron Age in Southeast Asia, where health was maintained or improved. However, the health of rice farmers in the homeland areas has rarely been reported. This study aims to clarify the frequen…
Interprovincial Unionization and the Environment
The relationship between labour movements and the environment has been the subject of considerable debate but little empirical research. Using panel data for Canadian provinces between 2001 and 2019, this article investigates the relationship between unionization rates and two measures of environmental quality: greenhouse gas emissions and total particulate matter pollution. We find that higher unionization rates are associated with lower emissio…
Dragon divers and clamorous fishermen
This essay contrasts two approaches to fisheries in Bronze Age Japan. In the first, links between the fishing cultures of the East Asian mainland and Japan are seen as separate cultural layers which accumulated over time and coalesced to form a unitary Japanese ethnic culture centred on rice and, ultimately, on state power. The second approach reflects what the eighth-century Nihon shoki called ‘clamorous fishermen’ – maritime groups who resisted…
Cranial morphometric analysis of early wet-rice farmers in the Yangtze River Delta of China
The Yangtze River Delta is the best-known homeland of wet-rice agriculture. From the Middle Neolithic, rice farming expanded from the Yangtze region to both the north and the south. However, poor preservation of ancient human skeletal remains in the region has meant that the population history of these expansions has not been fully understood. In order to clarify the ancestry of early wet-rice farmers in East Asia, we conducted a cranial morphome…

Do governments matter? Provincial policy and redistribution in two Canadian provinces, 1990–2010
One of the most important economic debates surrounding the feasibility of government efforts to redistribute income is the extent to which economic integration leads to policy convergence. The convergence hypothesis argues that when trade and finance flow freely between political jurisdictions, economic policies will tend to converge. This article uses two Canadian provinces, Manitoba and British Columbia, to conduct a comparative analysis of red…
Was there a transformation in economic ideology between 1960 and 2000
In this paper, we examine whether or not there has been a change in economic ideology in the late twentieth century. To conduct the analysis, we first identified the most influential economists, as determined by citation analysis. Next, we divided the database into four decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s) and ranked the authors according to their citation counts. We examined the articles and classified each of the top 50- and top 10-cited au…

Sand in the cogs? Power and public participation in the Alberta tar sands
Public participation in natural-resource management has been theorised as a potential means of slowing or halting the 'treadmill of production'. We examine the institutional processes for citizen participation in bitumen development proposals in Alberta, Canada, home of the tar sands – one of the world's largest reserves of fossil fuel. Within the context of economic and ecological impacts of fossil-fuel resource development in Alberta, we chart …

Political Consumerism in Context
This article investigates two possible explanations for willingness to engage in ethical consumption: increased status and improved information about the benefits of ethical consumption for producers and for nature. We approach our hypotheses through an experimental method in which people are asked, under varying conditions, to choose between fair trade and "conventional" coffee. Unexpectedly, status and information provision did not significantl…
Fair-trade Coffee
Fair trade is at a critical juncture as a social movement. In the midst of a sales boom and vastly increased visibility, the tensions and contradictions that exist within the movement are intensifying. In particular, expansion of the fair-trade system to cover new commodities, and the process of 'mainstreaming' fair trade have opened rifts in the movement and called into question the meaning of 'fairness'. This essay reviews three recent books on…

The Linguistic Prehistory of Japan
This paper applies recent archaeological thinking on language dispersal and replacement to Japanese. Based on the principles summarized by Renfrew (1992a), I argue that the Japanese language spread from Kyushu with agricultural colonization in the Yayoi period (ca. 400 B.C.-A.D. 250). Some supporting linguistic evidence for this model is provided by the distribution of Japanese dialects within the archipelago. If correct, the model would seem to …

This book challenges the conventional view of Japanese society as monocultural and homogenous. Unique for its historical breadth and interdisciplinary orientation, Multicultural Japan ranges from prehistory to the present, arguing that cultural diversity has always existed in Japan. A timely and provocative discussion of identity politics regarding the question of 'Japaneseness', the book traces the origins of the Japanese, examining Japan's indi…

Removing the Veil
For Marx, commodity fetishism is the tendency of people to see the product of their labor in terms of relationships between things, rather than social relationships between people. In other words, people viewthe commodity only in terms of the characteristics of the final product while the process through which it was created remains obscured and, therefore, unconsidered. This has crucial implications for our collective ability to see and address …
