Detrital Glass Provides Evidence of Leaded-Bronze Refinement at Ancient Placer Tin Mining Sites in Serbia
Archaeological evidence for prehistoric placer tin mining is rare due to the ephemeral nature of the workings and the associated tools in the dynamic setting of active river systems. Here, we report an additional line of evidence for metallurgical activities at stream tin mining in Serbia at Mt. Cer and Bukulja. Rivers at these locations contain Pb-rich-glass grains, many of which are also enriched in Cu and Sn. Compositionally, the detrital grai…
Shifting tin imports into the broader Eastern Mediterranean region during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages (ca. 2000-900 BC)
Lacking substantial local tin deposits after 2000 BC, the Eastern Mediterranean depended on the importation of large quantities of tin from extraneous sources. Situated roughly equidistant (ca. 3000 km) between the large tin deposits of Western Europe and Central Asia, both localities have been proposed as potential sources of tin metal used in Eastern Mediterranean bronze production. However, such speculation must be substantiated. Herein, we as…
Complementary Use of Lead Isotopes, Tin Isotopes, and Trace Elements to Infer the Sources of Tin in Bronzes from Southern Africa, ca. 1200–1800 CE
The Central Cemetery at Ingombe Ilede, Zambia
Ingombe Ilede is located just north of the Zambezi River, and has often been seen as a trading station connected to Central Africa, the Zimbabwe Plateau and the Indian Ocean. Discussion of the richly appointed burials in its Central Cemetery has been hindered by uncertainty over their ages. In this article, we report four new radiocarbon dates from Ingombe Ilede and six new dates from sites in northern Zimbabwe that are relevant to a wider unders…
Copper for the early oxhide ingots traced to the South Urals
Mixed lead sources in tin metal
Mixed Sources of Pb and Sn in late Bronze Age European tin ingots provide insights into production processes
Isotopic metal compositions of Viking and medieval tin artifacts from Poland reveal expansive trade network
Tin isotopes reveal changing patterns of tin trade, connectivity and consumption from Anatolia and Central Asia at Kültepe
Cvrtkovci hoard in the context of the potential of the Late Bronze Age hoards from Bosnia
The hoards from northern Bosnia, especially those along the wider stream area of river Bosna, are culturally and technologically interpreted in close connection with the emanating pattern of their manifestation in the wider area of south-western Pannonia and the extremely rich Posavina region within it. Data on 11 hoards in the region currently exists, with around 570 items and fragments recorded within these. Most hoards are considered to be rep…

Multidimensional Benefits of Improved Sanitation
With 2.3 billion people around the world lacking adequate sanitation services, attention has turned to alternative service provision models. This study suggests an approach for meeting the sanitation challenge, especially as expressed in Sustainable Development Goal 6.2, using a toilet technology system, such as Pee Power® that generates electricity using diverted urine as a fuel. A field trial was carried out in a girls' school in Kisoro, Uganda…
Local provenance of raw materials for prehistoric pottery production at the Spasovine tin placer site (Western Serbia)
Archaeological finds at Spasovine, on the south flank of Mt Cer, near the town of Milina, indicate that it was settled in the Eneolithic and seasonally inhabited for tin placer mining in the Late Bronze Age. The site is highly disturbed and abraded domestic pottery is the most common material found. An analysis of the mineralogical assemblages that comprise the temper sand in a subset of the prehistoric pottery sherds from the site indicate that …
Some remarks on the genesis of the early Eneolithic in the Central Balkans
The study addresses an imprecisely defined period between the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Eneolithic in the Central Balkans. The study primarily refers to the characteristic ceramic forms common to both the Vinca culture and the Early Eneolithic groups, especially the Bubanj-Hum I group. The pottery under consideration originates exclusively from absolutely dated sites, single-layered sites, and sites that possess a well-defined…
Revisiting “Tin in South-eastern Europe?”
The important role of the Balkans in the origin and development of metallurgy is well established with respect to copper. In addition, Aleksandar Durman, in his 1997 paper ?Tin in South-eastern Europe??, essentially initiated studies into the role of the Balkans in Europe?s Bronze Age tin economy. He identified six geologically favourable sites for tin mineralisation and associated fluvial placer deposits in the former Yugoslavian republics, and …
Provenance of tin in the Late Bronze Age Balkans based on probabilistic and spatial analysis of Sn isotopes
Evaluation of Fe isotope values as a provenance tool for chert artefacts from the north‐eastern United States
Iron (Fe) isotope compositions of prehistoric stone tools and geological sources were compared to evaluate the robustness of this isotopic fingerprinting technique. Artefacts and source materials were collected from the Hatch site in central Pennsylvania, United States, where both veined chert (Bald Eagle chert) and stone tools coexist within several metres. Yellow artefacts ( δ 56 Fe = 0.38 ± 0.1, n = 7) and source materials ( δ 56 Fe = 0.42 ± 0…

How effective is media self-regulation? Results from a comparative survey of European journalists
This article presents key results of a comparative journalists’ survey on media accountability, for which 1762 journalists in 14 countries had been interrogated online. The article explores how European journalists perceive the impact of old versus new media accountability instruments on professional journalistic standards – established instruments like press councils, ethics codes, ombudsmen and media criticism, but also more recent online instr…
Placer Tin Ores from Mt. Cer, West Serbia, and Their Potential Exploitation during the Bronze Age
Tin is a rare metal that is essential for making bronze, the defining technology of the Bronze Age. The source(s) of tin for Aegean bronze is undetermined but several small Bronze Age tin mines have been documented in the circum‐Aegean region. The discovery of Bronze Age archaeological sites in West Serbia near a tin placer deposit on the flanks of Mt. Cer led to an investigation of this site as a potential additional Bronze Age tin mine in the r…
Phylogeographic analysis of barley DNA as evidence for the spread of Neolithic agriculture through Europe
Results of analyses of the photoperiod response gene (PPD-H1) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in modern landraces of cultivated barley were used as evidence for the mechanism of agricultural spread in Neolithic Europe. In particular, we explored the usefulness of considering adaptive genes as indicators of past selective pressures acting on crops, during their spread through Europe. In some areas, such as the Alpine region, Britain and Scandin…
Transforming the Delivery of Care in the Post–Health Reform Era
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) affords opportunities to sustain the role of community health workers (CHWs). Among myriad strategies encouraged by PPACA are prevention and care coordination, particularly for chronic diseases, chief drivers of increased health care costs. Prevention and care coordination are functions that have been performed by CHWs for decades, particularly among underserved populations. The two key deliv…

Strengthening the Oral Health Safety Net
The mission of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Community Voices initiative is to improve access to primary, behavioral, and oral health care for uninsured and underserved populations. Poor access to dental services and growing racial/ethnic disparities in oral health demand new interventions and models of delivery.1 Oral health is a core component of all 13 Community Voices “learning laboratories.” Three of these programs—Northern Manhattan’s Commu…

A “Health Commons” Approach to Oral Health for Low-Income Populations in a Rural State
Oral health needs are urgent in rural states. Creative, broad-based, and collaborative solutions can alleviate these needs. “Health commons” sites are enhanced, community-based, primary care safety net practices that include medical, behavioral, social, public, and oral health services. Successful intervention requires a comprehensive approach, including attention to enhancing dental service capacity, broadening the scope of the dental skills of …
