Reflectance Transformation Imaging for the Recording of Incised Graffiti
Precolumbian Maya graffiti is challenging to document because it is complex, multilayered, and difficult to see with the naked eye. In the Maya Lowlands, precolumbian graffiti occurs as etched palimpsests on parts of substructures such as stucco walls of residences, palaces, and temples that are frequently only accessible through dark and narrow tunnel excavations. Experienced iconographers or epigraphers with advanced drawing skills are the most…

Geochemical soil analysis of sequential ritual and residential floors from the Maya site of Holtun
Paint it black
During the Early Classic period in the Maya lowlands (AD 250-600), black serving vessels were placed as offerings in the highest-status elite burials. Complicated forms and sophisticated decorative conventions transformed these simple ceramic containers into precious social valuables that were deposited with only the most privileged individuals. This article presents new data, analyses, and interpretations of the production and exchange of Early …
Fifty Shades of Green
This work addresses varying interpretations of the production, circulation, and consumption of jades in the Maya area from the Preclassic through the Postclassic periods (600b.c.–a.d.1697). Traditionally, exchange of jades has been seen as a dyadic relationship between elites (gifting and tribute). Some have argued for gradations of value in the circulation of jades, which probably circulated in both elite and commoner spheres. More recent resear…
We are the heroes because we are ready to die for this country
The 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic presented a challenging setting in which to carry out clinical trials. This paper reports findings from social science research carried out in Kambia, Northern Sierra Leone during first year of an Ebola vaccine trial (August 2015-July 2016). The social science team collected data through ethnographic observation, 42 in depth interviews; 4 life narratives; 200 exit interviews; 31 key informant interviews; and 8 focus g…
The First Maya Trade Ware? New Data on Middle Preclassic-Period Mars Orange Paste Ware From Holtun, Guatemala
This study reports on type: variety-mode classification, digital stereomicroscopy, petrography, neutron activation analysis, and previously published reports and characterizes production and distribution of Mars Orange Paste Ware in the Middle Preclassic-period Maya Lowlands. The sample consists of 2028 sherds of Mars Orange Paste Ware from Holtun, Guatemala, and 4105 sherds reported from sites in Central Belize and Peten Guatemala. The combined …
Chemical paste characterization of Late Middle Preclassic-period ceramics from Holtun, Guatemala and its implications for production and exchange
G20 Influence on Business Regulation and Business Behaviour. What has worked and why has it Worked
In 2009 the members of the Group of 20 (G20) proclaimed the forum to be the premier body for their international economic cooperation. But the G20’s success in facilitating such cooperation is mixed. The G20’s immediate response to the 2008 financial crisis was considered to be a success, but its effectiveness has waned since then. There are, however, two aspects of business regulation where the G20 has successfully facilitated international coop…

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
Initial English-language media coverage of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was framed in terms of strategic rivalry between China and the United States and China’s frustration with slow reform to existing multilateral development banks (MDBs). But the United States, not China, turned the AIIB into a battle for global influence, which the United States lost when key allies joined the bank.China had a positive agenda for establishin…
Politics Through Pottery
Building B of Group II at Holmul, Guatemala, is well known in Maya archaeology for its unique series of superimposed tombs, some of which contain rare large deposits of ceramic material dating to the Terminal Preclassic period (a.d.1–250). However, the building also contains large deposits of early facet Early Classic (a.d.250–400) material, as well as the remains of a potential title holding elite. This article presents the current ceramic seque…
Introduction
Annette Weiner's concept of "inalienable wealth" is a powerful theoretical construct that can help archaeologists understand how artifacts gained value, were used to foster group identity, and created social difference. In this chapter we first review the concept of inalienable wealth as conceptualized by Weiner for use in understanding cultural practices of contemporary societies in Melanesia. We then discuss why inalienable wealth holds potenti…
A systematic review of task- shifting for HIV treatment and care in Africa
Some Previously Unconsidered Environmental Factors of Relevance to South Coast Prehistory
The paper examines some of the major considerations in looking at the climate, environment and the ecological manifestation for flora and fauna for prehistoric man in east coast Australia. The east coast Australian environment is uniquely situated for a wide geographical spread of different floristic and faunal species
