Evaluating Broadscale Deep Learning for Maya Settlement Detection in G-LiHT Lidar
Examining Lidar data is an efficient way to detect ancient Maya features across the Yucatan Peninsula. Automated object detection powered by deep learning leverages Maya archaeologists’ specialist knowledge in detecting the presence of ancient Maya settlements. By using a broadscale approach in its training, our new efficient multi-regional model Q2000 achieves comparable performance across a significantly broader and more diverse geographic regi…
Interpreting δ 13 C Values Obtained on SOM from Ancient Maya Reservoirs and Depressions
Elemental analyzer (EA) Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry was used to measure ∂ 13 C values on soil organic matter from reservoirs and depressions at the ancient Maya urban centers of Tikal, Guatemala and Yaxnohcah, Mexico. Variation in δ 13 C values on soil organic matter were > −2.0‰, which suggests enrichment from C4 plants including maize, other tropical grasses (Poaceae), and tropical sedges (Cyperaceae), CAM plants (Clusia sp.), and cyanobact…
Household Quarry-Reservoirs at the Ancient Maya Site of Yaxnohcah, Mexico
In this study, we present new data from the ancient Maya site of Yaxnohcah in southern Mexico. These data, which are drawn from lidar-based GIS analysis, field inspection, and the excavation of two small, closed depressions, suggest that many of this site's features served a dual function. Quarrying to extract construction materials left behind closed depressions that were then sealed to create household reservoirs. We classify these water-storag…

Meta-analysis and machine learning-augmented mixed effects cohort analysis of improved diets among 5847 medical trainees, providers and patients
Objective: We sought to produce the first meta-analysis (of medical trainee competency improvement in nutrition counseling) informing the first cohort study of patient diet improvement through medical trainees and providers counseling patients on nutrition. Design: (Part A) A systematic review and meta-analysis informing (Part B) the intervention analysed in the world’s largest prospective multi-centre cohort study on hands-on cooking and nutriti…
Water uncertainty, ritual predictability and agricultural canals at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
The Pueblo population of Chaco Canyon during the Bonito Phase (AD 800–1130) employed agricultural strategies and water-management systems to enhance food cultivation in this unpredictable environment. Scepticism concerning the timing and effectiveness of this system, however, remains common. Using optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments and LiDAR imaging, the authors located Bonito Phase canal features at the far west end of the can…

Boots on the Ground at Yaxnohcah
This study proposes a sampling method for ground-truthing LiDAR-derived data that will allow researchers to verify or predict the accuracy of results over a large area. Our case study is focused on a 24 km 2 area centered on the site of Yaxnohcah in the Yucatan Peninsula. This area is characterized by a variety of dense tropical rainforest and wetland vegetation zones with limited road and trail access. Twenty-one 100 x 100 m blocks were selected…

Ohio Hopewell Depictions of Composite Creatures
Archaeological contextual analyses of four artifacts that depicted composite creatures and that were recovered from the Turner earthwork in southwestern Ohio are integrated here with a biological identification of the creatures’ component animals and a survey of historic Woodland–Plains Indian knowledge about their roles in Woodland–Plains life (previously reported in this journal). Together, the three studies reveal that the creatures were likel…

Ohio Hopewell Depictions of Composite Creatures
Hopewellian peoples in southwestern, south-central, and north-central Ohio sculpted, engraved, and cut out six depictions of creatures that combine the bodily elements of different ordinary animals. Detailed zoological identification of the component animals documents that all were associated with the underwater-underground realms of historic Woodland and Plains Indian cosmoses, in contrast to some later Mississippian and Historic period composit…
Comparative Audition
Research on comparative hearing includes measures of auditory function, as well as neuroanatomical and neurophysiological studies of auditory structures and signal processing. In this chapter we review selected data from representative species, which allow us to highlight general principles and noteworthy specializations. The chapter begins with a brief introduction to acoustics, followed by a review of behavioral measures of auditory sensitivity…
Assessment and Monitoring of Recreation Impacts and Resource Conditions on Mountain Summits
Mountain summits present a unique challenge to manage sustainably: they are ecologically important and, in many circumstances, under high demand for recreation and tourism activities. This article presents recent advances in the assessment of resource conditions and visitor disturbance in mountain summit environments, by drawing on examples from a multiyear, interdisciplinary study of summits in the northeastern United States. Primary impact issu…

The Scioto Hopewell and Their Neighbors
"This book presents, for the first time, a detailed, holistic synthesis of the lifeways, culture, history, and material record of the ceremonially and socially rich Hopewell peoples who lived in the Scioto valley and neighboring areas in Ohio in the first centuries A.D. The Scioto Hopewell built monumental, 80 acre earthworks aligned precisely to astronomical events, masterfully worked glistening metals and semiprecious stones into elegant design…

Identifying the Mineralogy of Rock Temper in Ceramics Using X-Radiography
Industrial and medical x-radiography can be used in a manner analogous to back-scattered electron microscopy to identify the approximate mineralogy of rock temper particles in ceramics, but without their destruction by thin-sectioning, and at low cost. Particle traits similar to those used in petrography to identify a mineral are visible in a magnified x-radiograph. The traits include particle x-radiographic gray level, which varies with a partic…
Identifying Individual Vessels with X-Radiography
The individual vessel, rather than the sherd, is the relevant unit of analysis in many kinds of behavioral studies. Economical methods for assigning the sherds of multiple vessels to their vessels of origin are introduced for household-made ceramics. The methods employ visible surface indicators of vessel individuality as well as radiographically detectable ones such as temper quantity, size distribution, spatial distribution, and material type, …

Analysis of Slips and Other Inorganic Surface Materials on Woodland and Early Fort Ancient Ceramics, South-Central Ohio
Petrographic analyses were made of 386 utilitarian pottery vessels from 23 dated components of 18 Early Woodland through early Fort Ancient period sites (ca. 1150 B.C.-A.D. 1300) in south-central Ohio. The analyses reveal that a significant percentage ( 11.6 percent) of the 386 vessels bear uncolored (i.e., unpigmented) pottery slips and washes, that these surface materials were common (>56 percent) among the 23 sampled components, and that they …

From Student to Composer
In the files of the Royal College of Music is a report on Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's studies under Walter Parratt during the young man's first eighteen months at the school. This had witnessed slide from fair at the end of the Easter semester, 1891, through in July to irregular by the end of December 1891. Sir George Grove, who had presided over college affairs for ten years, commented, Why this irregularity at the Music Class? Please let me never…

Synthesizing Hopewell Archaeology
Once every generation or so, a major volume has appeared that has made a profound difference in the way both the archaeological profession and the general public thinks about Hopewell in eastern North America. In the 1960s, Caldwell and Hall produced an edited volume entitled Hopewellian Studies that widely introduced the concept of a Hopewell interaction sphere. In the late 1970s, Brose and Greber's Hopewellian Archaeology: The Chillicothe Confe…
