Provenancing the rhyolitic and dacitic components of the Stonehenge landscape bluestone lithology: New petrographical and geochemical evidence
Beaker age bracers in England: Sources, Function and Use
The authors review the significance of bracers by undertaking a detailed examination of their morphology, fragmentation, manufacture and wear. The results have a number of implications regarding their use and value and this is supported by the use of petrographic and geochemical analyses which suggest discrete patterns of raw material acquisition. A description of the technical methodology and appropriate data tables are available at http://www.a…
Ritual in Some Early Bronze Age Gravegoods
This systematic study of selected ‘Wessex’ Early Bronze Age burial assemblages was undertaken to reassess the original purpose of the artefacts deposited and their significance in the burial ritual. Use-wear analysis and fragmentation assessment has been undertaken on daggers, whetstones, bone objects and beads. Lithological and physical analysis was also undertaken on the stone objects. The results show a remarkable disparity in use and fragment…
Chlorine-36 dating and the bluestones of Stonehenge
The bluestones of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain continue to attract controversy. New dates on Stonehenge material using the Chlorine-36 method have been reported as evidence that the bluestones were moved from their Welsh sources by human transport, not by glaciation. Here Olwen Williams-Thorpe and colleagues, who have argued for the glacial transport theory, show that the Chlorine-36 dates have been misinterpreted
Religion as a Cultural Phenomenon, and National Mortality Rates From Heart Disease
Religion as a Cultural Phenomenon, and National Mortality Rates from Heart Disease
An hypothesis is developed which proposes that mortality rates from heart disease are a function of a nation's dominant religious tradition, with predominantly Catholic countries having lower rates than the more Protestant countries. The hypothesis was tested on data from 24 economically developed Western countries. A significant inverse relationship of −0.588 was found between the proportion of Catholics in the 24 nations and mortality rates fro…
Taking a Taxi in Sweden: Front or Back Seat? A Study of Sex Differences among Passengers
A study of the seat choice, front or back, of single adult taxi passengers was carried out in Sweden. No sex differences in sear choice were observed, unlike an earlier Australian study which yielded large sex differences in major cities where male, but not female, solo taxi passengers exhibited a strong preference for the front seat. In both countries, female taxi drivers were a small proportion of all taxi drivers observed
Taking a taxi: Front or back seat? The effects of gender and community size
Detection of intermodal proprioceptive–visual contingency as a potential basis of self-perception in infancy
Five-month-old infants can detect the invariant relationship between their own leg motion and a video display of that motion. In three experiments they discriminated between a perfectly contingent live display of their own leg motion and a noncon-tingent display of self or a peer. They showed this discrimination by preferential fixation of the noncontingent display. This effect was evident even when the infant's direct view of his or her own body…

Female Volunteers for Psychological Experiments May Be More Homogeneous than Non-Volunteering Women
A survey of the literature yielded a slight tendency for women who volunteered for psychological experiments to be more homogeneous on various personality measures than non-volunteering women
Neonatal imitation: Fact or artifact
Nonsocial reinforcement of infants' vocalizations
Operant conditioning of visual fixation in infants under visual and auditory reinforcement
Why is a smile
