“The Wizard” of AI
When the history of the United States in 2025 is written, it is likely to go down as the year when the hype around AI reached a fever pitch and the beginning of a fundamental shift in how businesses approach task assignment and staffing. Many CEOs are spending millions of dollars investing in AI tools while enacting mass layoffs under the impression that thousands of humans are no longer needed as AI will fulfill many roles faster and more effici…

Veterans’ Transition Out of the Military and Knowledge of Mental Health Disorders
There is a need for research to understand veteran’s mental health and how they use resources, like the Veteran’s Affairs and non-profit organizations.

Urban political ecology in late prehistory
One of archaeology's greatest strengths is its reliance on interdisciplinary collaboration and the utilization of multiple lines of evidence to inform archaeological interpretation. For example, through an examination of faunal and floral remains, production and storage facilities, and the isotopic analysis of human skeletal remains one can develop a model for urban political ecology in ancient cultures. In this case study, the political ecology …
Spindle Whorls from El Purgatorio, Peru, and Their Socioeconomic Implications
In the Andean region, spindle whorls have been the subject of archaeological analysis less often than other artifact classes, such as pottery. Nevertheless, spindle whorls may have much more to contribute to archaeological interpretations of production, status, and exchange patterns than previously acknowledged. The case study presented here examines the spindle whorl collection from the site of El Purgatorio, Peru, the capital city of the Casma …
Archaeological sites, modern communities, and tourism
Style and interregional interaction
Over the last decade, investigations into the Casma polity have revealed a coastal power that had previously been overlooked in discussions of the Middle Horizon and Late Intermediate Period. New data from the capital city of El Purgatorio indicate that this polity had far-reaching ties and interregional interactions with other contemporary polities, especially as demonstrated by stylistic variation in ceramics. The Casma polity incorporated some…
