Weather, Land and Crops in the Indus Village Model: A Simulation Framework for Crop Dynamics under Environmental Variability and Climate Change in the Indus Civilisation
The start and end of the urban phase of the Indus civilization (IC; c. 2500 to 1900 BC) are often linked with climate change, specifically regarding trends in the intensity of summer and winter precipitation and its effect on the productivity of local food economies. The Indus Village is a modular agent-based model designed as a heuristic “sandbox” to investigate how IC farmers could cope with diverse and changing environments and how climate cha…
Birds in Medieval Norway
Whilst modern avian distributions in Scandinavia are well studied, how past events and processes have shaped modern bird communities in the region remains poorly known. This is mainly due to the fact that work on post-glacial avian assemblages has been done mostly from an archaeological perspective, and on a site-specific basis. Therefore, in order to understand the history of bird species in Scandinavia, there is a clear need to collate data on …

Insights and principles for supporting social engagement in rural older people
Staying socially engaged is known to improve health and longevity in older people. As the population ages, maintaining levels of social engagement among older people becomes increasingly important. Nevertheless, advancing age brings with it many challenges to social engagement, especially in rural areas. A three-year Australian Research Council Linkage Project sought to improve understandings of age-related triggers to social disengagement in six…
The Evolving Oblique
The Evolving Oblique is an interactive video and sound installation using multiple gauze screens and projections, which explores the embodiment of a virtual topology through a mobile participant. The projected imagery and audio deals with space as a medium, a substance through which events are interrelated by interference and amplification. The imagery is a way to inhabit time, a movement connected to ones own movements, something far more sensit…
A Lobby-Entrance House of 1615: Model Farm, Linstead Magna, Halesworth, Suffolk
Model Farm, Linstead Magna is the first lobby-entrance house to be tree-ring dated in Suffolk. In April 2002 Martin Bridge dated the timbers as felled in 1615, a date which provides a benchmark for many features and is the first step in resolving the question of how early the lobby-entrance house occurred in north Suffolk

Every Man a Sultan: Indigenous Responses to the Somalia Crisis
In 1910, a British colonial official travelling through what is now Somalia asked an African companion who the people he saw around him were. "Somalis," replied the African: "They no good; each man his own sultan." In most media accounts of the Somalia crisis, the idea individualistic Somalis are "no good," at least in so far as governing themselves is concerned, has been a recurring theme. This was the ultimate rationale for Operation Restore Ho…

Absence from work in relation to the length and distribution of shift hours
During a multiphasic screening survey the eye colour of 82 subjects was assessed by two observers independ- ently, using a three-figure code with six colour categories.Colour photographs were also taken with electronic flash and similarly assessed later under standardized lighting conditions.No difference in colour vision was found on testing the two observers.The results showed that the inter-observer error on the survey was high, as were both i…

Rare Sassanian Coins
New Coin Evidence from Sīstān
The downfall of the Umaiyad and the rise of the ‘Abbāsid Caliphate, the central protagonist in which was the formidable Abū Muslim, is one of the most fascinating periods in Islamic History. Numismatic research is gradually revealing more and more vestiges of these troublous times. Recently in the JRAS . (July, 1932) Mr. Rhuvon Guest published a copper coin of Abū Muslim, now in the ‘Irāḳ Museum, which had been unearthed during irrigation work on…
A Rare Coin of the Zanj
In the British Museum there is a gold coin issued by the Zanj rebels, hitherto inedited, and consequently of sufficient historical importance to warrant special publication. There is, so far as the present writer is aware, only one other coin (also in gold) surviving as a witness of that disastrous Slave Revolt which is estimated to have cost over 1,000,000 lives. This latter coin was published by Casanova in the Revue Numisrnatique (1893, pp. 51…
