New data from old collections
Mumba rockshelter in northern Tanzania has served as a key benchmark sequence for understanding Late Pleistocene-Holocene archaeological changes in the region. A complete understanding of the site is complicated by multiple excavations across >90 years, with an unfortunate history of incomplete publication of those results, particularly for some of the older, larger-scale excavations from the 1930s and 1970s. We report here on newly recovered mat…

Women, Sports, and Science
Both functionalist and conflict theories of sports suggest that participation in sports may have a positive influence on achievement in science, especially for young women. The research presented here found that young women's involvement in high school sports often has a strong and positive association with their success in science in their sophomore and senior years of high school, but that participation in cheerleading is usually negatively ass…
