Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)
This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, μXRF and μFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour. Micro‐contextual data provide new insights into sedimentation, taphonomy and human activity, revealing short‐term, seasonal occupations with evidence of spatial shif…
The Early Neolithic Settlement of Movila lui Deciov in Romanian Banat
Since 2018, excavation work at the well-known site of Movila lui Deciov has been resumed by an international excavation team from the University of Tübingen together with the National Museum of Banat in Timişoara. The site was discovered at the beginning of the 20 th century by Kisléghi Nagy Gyula, who also carried out the first excavations. Further excavations were undertaken between 2001 and 2004 by Banat Museum in Timișoara and a team from the…

Islands, maps, and Lontara’; Bugis counter-mapping on a nineteenth-century map of Nusantara
This article focuses on a Bugis nautical chart of Nusantara (the Malay Archipelago) from the early nineteenth century known as the Utrecht Map. There are only a few surviving copies of similar Bugis maps, all confiscated from local “pirates” during the colonial era. While graphical elements of the map undoubtedly point to prototypical European maps, careful analysis of its annotations reveals extensive linguistic modification better to reflect Bu…
Varieties of Capitalism Over Time
Fire among Neanderthals
Using Formation Processes to Explore Low-Density Sites and Settlement Patterns
Paleolithic archaeologists often rely on cave and rockshelter sites with rich occupation levels to explore hominin behavior and settlement patterns. However, a closer look into regional occupation data may reveal an uneven distribution of sites and the presence of occupational hiatuses or low-density occupation horizons that often remain understudied. In contrast to this trend, this paper focuses on low-density occupation data to explore regional…
Apocalyptic Psychic Landscapes, Haunting Internal Objects, and the Murderousness of Group Dynamics in Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar (1599) presents a progressive shaping of the group mindset through projective identification. Cassius, envious of Caesar, fuels a murderous desire in Brutus and the co-conspirators, culminating in Caesar’s assassination. After the murder, Antony and Brutus attempt to sway collective opinion toward their respective interpretations of the event. Antony astutely pushes the crowd to vindictive rage, leading to further murderous action. …
The Clydeside Cabal
Lord Weir, Sir James Lithgow and Sir Andrew Rae Duncan were three close friends who grew up within a few miles of each other in Victorian Glasgow, and who went on to have uncommonly successful careers in engineering, shipbuilding, steel and finance. Despite occupying only footnotes in political histories, Weir, Lithgow and Duncan also were uncommonly influential in defence planning during the First World War, as well as post-war industrial reorga…

Business-government relations and national economic models
This special issue complements and extends existing work in business history to show how the discipline can contribute to the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) literature. The work in this collection delves deeper into our understanding of how VoC emerge and continue through the prism of business-government relations as the two principal actors in capitalist development. The focus of much of the existing canon on varieties of capitalism is centred on…
Price collusion, rationalisation and Admiralty oversight in British shipbuilding
Between 1925 and 1935, several private firms capable of constructing warships, or parts thereof, collapsed, merged or were partly or fully ‘sterilised’ against any return to shipbuilding during a period of ‘rationalisation’ to reduce perceived overcapacity relative to demand in British shipbuilding. Thereafter, rearmament had the opposite effect upon industry; lack of capacity in some key areas created almost unprecedented demand, and led eventua…
The Effect of Formation Processes on The Frequency of Palaeolithic Cave Sites in Semi-Arid Zones
Central Asian caves with Palaeolithic deposits are few but they provide a rich record of human fossils and cultural assemblages that has been used to model Late Pleistocene hominin dispersals. However, previous research has not yet systematically evaluated the formation processes that influence the frequency of Palaeolithic cave sites in the region. To address this deficiency, we combined field survey and micromorphological analyses in the piedmo…
Applied Rapid Qualitative Analysis to Develop a Contextually Appropriate Intervention and Increase the Likelihood of Uptake
BACKGROUND: Rapid approaches to collecting and analyzing qualitative interview data can accelerate discovery timelines and intervention development while maintaining scientific rigor. We describe the application of these methods to a program designed to improve care coordination between the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and community providers. METHODS: Care coordination between VHA and community providers can be challenging in rural areas…

The micromorphology of loess‐paleosol sequences in central Alaska
The middle Tanana Valley of central Alaska contains a well‐preserved record of human occupation and paleoenvironmental change since the Late Glacial period (c. 16,000 cal yr BP) and is a critical region for understanding human dispersal into the Americas. Micromorphology analysis of soils and sediments from six archaeological sites yields valuable information about soil formation processes and landscape evolution during the Late Glacial and into …
Experimentation preceding innovation in a MIS5 Pre-Still Bay layer from Diepkloof Rock Shelter (South Africa)
In southern Africa, key technologies and symbolic behaviors develop as early as the later Middle Stone Age in MIS5. These innovations arise independently in various places, contexts and forms, until their full expression during the Still Bay and the Howiesons Poort. The Middle Stone Age sequence from Diepkloof Rock Shelter, on the West Coast of the region, preserves archaeological proxies that help unravelling the cultural processes at work. This…
Fire as an Artifact—Advances in Paleolithic Combustion Structure Studies
Hearths present sedimentary features, artifacts, and direct evidence for maintained and controlled fire in the past. The use of hearths reflects regular access to fire and its diverse benefits. Among these benefits are cooked food, protection from the cold and from predators, and fire’s transformative power regarding raw materials. Hearths may have also served as focal points of activity at Paleolithic campsites and triggered changes in social st…
The Collaborative Chronic Care Model for Mental Health Conditions
BACKGROUND: Extensive evidence indicates that Collaborative Chronic Care Models (CCMs) improve outcome in chronic medical conditions and depression treated in primary care. Beginning with an evidence synthesis which indicated that CCMs are also effective for multiple mental health conditions, we describe a multistage process that translated this knowledge into evidence-based health system change in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). EVID…

Cuncaicha Rockshelter, a Key Site for Understanding Colonization of the High Andes
Paleoindian settlement of the high-altitude Peruvian Andes
Mountain dwellers of the Pleistocene Humans colonized the inhospitable high Andes at least 11.5 thousand years ago. Rademaker et al. unearthed evidence of hunter-gatherer occupation at heights of almost 4500 m in Peru in two open-air sites. The sites contained more than 750 tools, including likely spearheads and scrapers. A nearby rockshelter with sooted ceilings and floor detritus may have been a campsite. The sites were probably used seasonally…

Prize fights
In in the wake of World War I, within the span of nine months, two victories in two different competitive spheres – one in sports, one in literature – generated waves of anxiety and speculation about the philosophical, political, and cultural meanings of race and empire. In December 1921 the Prix Goncourt was awarded to Martinican-born Rene Maran for his veritable roman negre Batouala; then, in September 1922, the Senegalese-born boxer Amadou M'b…
Environmental Rights
Living on the eastern seaboard of a vast and sparsely populated continent replete with natural resources, it is unlikely that the draughtsmen of the Constitution of the United States of America gave any thought to environmental constraints which might prejudice the enjoyment of the rights to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. It was the familiar Old World threats corrupt jurists, dogmatic clerics, autocratic kings to these human rights…

The potential role of honey and its polyphenols in preventing heart disease
Honey is rich in phenolic compounds, which act as natural antioxidants and are becoming increasingly popular because of their potential role in contributing to human health. A wide range of phenolic constituents is present in honey like quercetin, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), acacetin, kaempferol, galangin which have promising effect in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Many epidemiological studies have shown that regular intake o…
A Gujarati Origin for Scripts of Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper presents evidence for a new theory that indigenous scripts of Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines are descendants of an early variety of Gujarati script introduced into the archipelago, thus placing them in the Nagari group. This at first seems implausible, but the historical record attests to the major role of Gujaratis in the archipelago. Tomé Pires (Cortesão 1944) reports a thousand …
