Anxiety, life-space mobility and quality of life among frail older adults in Enugu, South-East Nigeria
Frailty is an increasing public health concern in ageing populations and is frequently accompanied by psychological distress, mobility limitations, and reduced quality of life. Anxiety is common among frail older adults and may influence functional mobility and well-being. However, evidence on the relationships between anxiety, life-space mobility, and quality of life among frail older adults in low- and middle-income countries, particularly Nige…
Space technologies for development? Practicing sovereignty, beyond inclusion
The increasing use and integration of space technologies in International Development projects raises fundamental questions about the ways in which these technologies are produced and applied, for what purposes and what ideas of innovation underpin their knowledge frameworks. With reference to two UK Space Agency (UKSA)-funded projects aiming to create an environmental information system using remotely sensed data, this article considers the poss…
On the polysemic nature of traces and co-occurring patterns in anthropized material — contribution of a “Retoucher” with a flaked bone aspect from Roc-en-Pail (France)
This article presents a new archaeological material to discuss methodological issues encountered by scientists working both on minimally-modified bones from Mousterian assemblages, to those dealing with the identification of “retouchers” having a flaked bone aspect. The technological approach integrates complementary analytical study-frames in order to assess archaeological information. On the one hand, analogies with similar experimentally produ…
Palaeolakes, caves and settlement during the Pleistocene and Holocene around Tsakhiurtyn Hundi, Mongolia
The authors present results from a new research project focusing on the prehistory of the area surrounding a vast flint outcrop in Mongolia, called Tsakhiurtyn Hundi, in the borderland between the Gobi-Altai Mountains and Gobi Desert. They present the discovery of a cave and the results of its exploration, confirming its use by Pleistocene hunter-gatherers
Schème, schéma et chaîne opératoire
Expedient and efficient
The Northern European Mesolithic is well known for the manufacture of composite tools and weapons for specialised purposes. A composite implement recovered from the Early Holocene site of Krzyż Wielkopolski 7 in Poland, dated to the Preboreal/Boreal transition, raises questions about expediency versus efficiency in the fabrication of these artefacts. Here, the authors characterise its materials and production: a bone splinter mounted on a shaft o…
Microscopic Re-Examination of an Unique Bone Artefact
In 1955, a figure, representing a comic actor, was discovered on a spoil heal in the Roman Fort of Iža. It is a unique find without close parallels in the whole of the Roman Empire, making it difficult to determine from which object it was derived or what was its function. The results of new research are presented here and demonstrate the object is a fragment of a luxury, figural knife handle made from bone rather than ivory. It was probably prod…
The Palaeolithic site of Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
The paleolithic site at Roc-en-Pail was discovered by chance between 1870 and 1871, in the context of quarrying activities when Prehistoric Science was at its youth. Nevertheless the lithic industries were immediate linked to the Moustier type with reference to the pioneer work of É. Lartet and H. Christy. The site was only latter largely excavated by Dr Michel Gruet, in the 1940s and 1950s then in 1969. Excavations archives from Dr Gruet togethe…
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail a été découvert fortuitement entre 1870 et 1871, en marge de l’exploitation d’une carrière alors que la science préhistorique n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts. Néanmoins, dès sa découverte, les industries lithiques sont rapportées au type du Moustier, en référence aux travaux pionniers d’É. Lartet et H. Christy. Il faudra attendre les recherches du Dr Michel Gruet dans les années 1940-1950 puis en 1969, pour qu…

Influx of Money Into Sparta at the End of the Fifth Century B.C
Ironically, the influx of foreign capital into Sparta in the last years of the Peloponnesian War, the very factor which helped Sparta to win that war and found her hegemony in Greece, is frequently viewed in ancient sources, both contemporary and later, as one of the central factors responsible for having engendered the roots of her decline and downfall as a great power. This paper concentrates on the quantitative aspect of this economic factor b…

Crafting Bone Tools in Mesolithic Norway
This article focuses on the production of bone tools during the seventh millennium cal BC. A large number of fishhooks and waste from fishhook production have been found at the sites of Sævarhelleren and Viste cave, in western Norway. The data have been studied by means of the chaîne opératoire concept, meaning that the artefacts are described and analysed in order to identify the different steps in the production process and to characterize the …
Apports et limites de l’étude des vestiges fauniques à la caractérisation d’un site mésolithique de plein air à Paris
The ’ 62 rue Henry-Farman’ site in the south-west of Paris (15th arrondissement) is located on the alluvial plain of the Seine River, now 250 m from the site. The site’s cultural sequence consists of four occupations, the Mesolithic, Middle Neolithic, Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age, and the Early Iron Age, but the research presented in this paper focuses exclusively on the Mesolithic period. Field operations and excavations were carried out by…
The Mesolithic Zvejnieki Site (Latvia) in Its European Context
A recent technological study of the bone and antler industry of the Zvejnieki site provides new insight into our understanding of the Mesolithic of northern Europe. As far as bone and antler industry is concerned, the Preboreal and Boreal horizons of Zvejnieki burials and settlement sites can be seen as belonging to the north-eastern technocomplex that may extend, for these chronozones, from Poland to western Russia including southern Sweden and …
