Uncertainty in humanities network visualization
Network visualization is one of the most widely used tools in digital humanities research. The idea of uncertain or “fuzzy” data is also a core notion in digital humanities research. Yet network visualizations in digital humanities do not always prominently represent uncertainty. In this article, we present a mathematical and logical model of uncertainty as a range of values which can be used in network visualizations. We review some of the princ…

Hugo Grotius and the Century of Revolution, 1613-1718
Review for The Seventeenth Century of Oona A. Hathaway and Scott J. Shapiro, _The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Changed the World_ and Marco Barducci, _Hugo Grotius and the Century of Revolution, 1613-1718
Historiography’s Two Voices
On its release in 2004, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography was called “the greatest book ever” and “a more enthralling read than all the novels ever entered for the Booker Prize put together.” The tabloid The Daily Mail, where these giddy pronouncements appeared, is not known for understatement, but more cautious academic researchers have long held the ODNB in similarly high esteem. Stefan Collini, writing in the London Review of Books, …
On the Shores of Silver Lake, Mojave Desert, California
Along the western and northern margins of Silver Lake (one lobe of remnant late Pleistocene Lake Mojave) near Baker, California, there are three locations where groups of circular/oval and linear stone features constructed of local cobbles and boulders extend from the latest Holocene shoreline out onto the playa. At two of these locations, other stone features on talus slopes just above the playa seem to be associated with the features on the pla…
Henry V, Anachronism, and the History of International Law
Historians, literary scholars, and international lawyers interested in the early modern period have all grappled with the problem of anachronism, yet mostly independently of one another. This essay uses the question of war crime in Shakespeare’s Henry V to argue that early modernists interested in international law need not reject synchronic historicism for explicitly anachronistic or presentist approaches. Proposing as a new context for Shakespe…
To Ruin the Repairs
International legal theorists posit historical moments when conceptions of justice are “constituted by, and constitutive of, the transition” (Teitel). This article uses the framework of transitional justice to understand the cultural work of political allegory in the spring of 1660 on the eve of the English Restoration. Insights from transitional justice (1.) help explain how Anglican royalists convinced wary Presbyterians to assent to a restorat…
Literature and the Law of Nations, 1580-1680
The Tragicomic Law of Nations
This chapter looks at the tragicomic law of nations through The Winter’s Tale and argues that the play’s remarkable spatiality is informed by the generic dimensions of the law of nations in the context of the Union debates. By using Francis Bacon’s emphasis on “new forms,” I argue that it becomes possible to see how the generic experiment of The Winter’s Tale is related to the proposed “new forms” of law based on the law of nations that would bin…
John Milton and the Epochs of International Law
For the historian of international law William Grewe in his controversial opus, The Epochs of International Law, it was the English writer John Milton who offered the death blow to an entire epoch, one founded on the principle that discovery brought legal title in international law. Yet John Milton's Paradise Lost is rarely considered alongside the history of international law. In this article, I contend that a robust history of international law…
Environmental Stress and Subsistence Intensification
The silting in of the lagoons and development of sandy beach on the central San Diego coast during the middle to late Holocene caused severe reduction of littoral resources. This loss resulted in the movement of some people away from the central coast, presumably inland, and to San Diego and Mission bays. The littoral resource losses also led to a general increase in other subsistence activities, but the La Jolla subsistence system appears to hav…
Hobbes's Thucydides and the Colonial Law of Nations
This essay investigates why Thomas Hobbes translated Thucydides, published as Eight Bookes of the Peloponnesian Warres, and why Hobbes chose it to be published in 1628. It argues that Hobbes's translation should be seen not just as a precursor to his later treatises but as part of a broader attempt on the part of English humanists in the mid-1620s and early 1630s to make available to English readers the stories and exempla--the raw materials--nec…

A Technological Analysis of Projectile Points from a Burial, Amargosa Desert, Nevada
Salvage excavations of the Barnett Site, Nye County, Nevada, revealed burial pits, hearths, and midden dating to about 1950 B.P. Grave goods from one of the burials included five large obsidian Humboldt Basal Notch points and a bone tool. Analysis of these artifacts leads us to conclude that the points were manufactured shortly before their use as grave goods, specifically for that purpose, and most probably by a single person. The bone tool is m…

The San Dieguito Complex
The confusing terminology surrounding the San Dieguito complex is reviewed, and a critical evaluation of the content of this complex is undertaken. The San Dieguito complex is redefined and includes Lake Mohave, Death Valley I, and Playa I and II complexes. An age of greater than 6000 B.C. is shown for at least one component of the complex and a date of 7000 to 8000 B.C. is suggested for the complex as a whole. The hypothesis is developed that th…
The Southern California Milling Stone Horizon
Owen’s (1964) brief comments on the Glen Annie Canyon site include some comments and criticisms that are in error, and the validity of his interpretation of the archaeology and archaeologists of the Southern California Coast may be challenged. Owen uses the term “Early horizon” where he should use “Milling Stone horizon”; his criticisms of Wallace’s 1955 paper are unjustified; what he claims to be the archaeologists’ description of the Oak Grove …
Paleolimnology and Prehistory
Archaeologists have failed to use all available data relevant to climatic changes and other environmental factors necessary for the reconstruction of paleoclimates. This neglect has fostered the continuance of significant problems of reconstruction and interpretation in archaeology. Paleolimnology can be helpful in elucidating some of these problems. Research of this sort has already provided valuable evidence for the advent of agricultural man i…

Dating Lake Mohave Artifacts and Beaches
It is generally accepted that Lake Mohave artifacts date from the closing phase of the last deglaciation when the lake stood at its highest level. A re-evaluation of published data shows that Lake Mohave artifacts date from the overflow period, but only after the lake had abandoned the highest or 946-foot beach. A radiocarbon date of 9640 ± 240 years has been obtained from Anodonta shells at levels between 925 and 930 feet. These shells have been…

Further Comments on the Archaeology of San Clemente Island, California
McKusick and Warren defined culture complexes on San Clemente Island as distinct collections of artifacts, spatially isolated, and representative of a local cultural adaptation. In doing so, they were reticent about interpreting each of their three culture complexes as culturally distinct and gave several alternative interpretations. Townsend misinterpreted this definition of culture complexes and considered the alternative interpretations as con…
