Shaping change locally
Introduction Place-based education (PBE) seeks to integrate local environmental, cultural, and community contexts into learning. With instruction grounded in students’ lived experience, this approach has the potential to enhance engagement and foster identity development, particularly in STEM disciplines. However, research on how PBE may influence STEM identity and agency development, especially in rural contexts, remains limited. Methods This st…
Methodological Advances in Understanding Environmental Constraints on Sustainability and Industrial Periodicity of Ancient Copper Smelting in Southeast Arabia
Industrial periodicity is a hallmark of modern and ancient extractive economies. In Southeast Arabia, current evidence demonstrates that intensive periods of copper production are bracketed by century- to millennia-scale periods of little to no production. Explanations for this periodicity range from environmental degradation (e.g., deforestation related to unsustainable fuelwood provisioning) to shifts in local and distant trade networks to inte…
Hyperspectral satellite imagery detection of ancient raw material sources
Soft‐stone vessels (made of the rock chloritite, which is comprised of the mineral chlorite) are an important component of the material culture record of ancient southeast Arabia. Given the prevalence of soft‐stone vessels in domestic and funerary contexts, and the natural geological occurrence of chloritite in the region, archaeologists have long suspected that soft‐stone vessels could have been produced in United Arab Emirates (UAE) or Oman. Ho…
