The challenges of implementing antibiotic stewardship in diverse poultry value chains in Kenya
This paper investigates the challenges of implementing antibiotic stewardship – reducing and optimizing the use of antibiotics – in agricultural settings of Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) as a strategic part of addressing the global problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It does so through analysis of the rapidly transforming yet diverse Kenyan poultry sector, characterized by growing commercial operations alongside traditional smal…
Global value chains for medical gloves during the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper evaluates ways in which labour issues in global value chains for medical gloves have been affected by, and addressed through, the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on production in Malaysia and supply to the United Kingdom's National Health Service and draws on a large-scale survey with workers and interviews with UK government officials, suppliers and buyers. Adopting a Global Value Chain (GVC) framework, the paper shows how forced labour…

Underdiscussed, underused and underreported”
Purpose The authors, with disparate organisational affiliations and in different geographic locations, worked together on a qualitative multiple-case study of ad hoc supervisory encounters between general practice (GP) supervisors and GP-registrars. The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences and learning to highlight how valuable pilot work can be when conducting team-based qualitative research. Design/methodology/approach This paper o…

Archaeological Study of Mortuary Practices in the Eastern United States
Key to contemporary approaches to mortuary analysis in the Eastern Woodlands is the concept of liturgy as embodied in the mortuary programme. Together they bridge to social life through associated human ritual. Liturgy, ritual, and the mortuary programme become linked through the perspective of human agency. Liturgical acts are manifest in the interment of individuals in specific body postures and different degrees of disarticulation. As agency h…

Political Economy and the Routinization of Religious Movements
Max Weber's concept of routinization offers a useful framework for understanding the relationship between political economy and the organization of religious movements. Here, we apply this concept to a comparison of Hopewell and Mississippian, two of the most important religious movements in the precolonial Eastern Woodlands. We focus on two archaeological contexts in particular-Mound 25 at the Hopewell site and Mound C at Etowah-to illustrate ho…
Trade and the Evolution of Exchange Relations at the Beginning of the Mississippian Period
Eventful Archaeology
Unexpected ruptures in material culture patterning present interpretive challenges for archaeological narratives of social change. The concept of the event, as proposed by William Sewell Jr., offers a robust theoretical vocabulary for understanding the sudden appearance of novel patterning. Sewell defines historical events as sequences of happenings or occurrences that transform social structures by creating durable ruptures between material reso…

Prior experience and patterning in a prisoner's dilemma game
Pre‐columbian Metallurgy
Twenty‐four cast copper crotals (commonly called bells), one 'spilled bell’, one tinkler bell and a number of minerals from locations throughout the Greater Southwest were analysed for their elemental composition by a PIXE nuclear microprobe at Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA. Sixteen bells contained minor and trace amounts of silver, antimony, arsenic, lead, and in some cases tin, strontium, and selenium. Nine bells contained lit…
The Archaeology of Ancient Religion in the Eastern Woodlands
Archaeology has begun to contribute to the history of spirituality in the Eastern Woodlands of North America to complement the perspectives offered by the comparative study of religions and by ethnological, folkloric, art historical, and astronomical research. Support can be found in the forms and types of ritual paraphernalia and in the associated iconography for the thesis that shamanism was a basic form of religious experience that extended ba…

Pre-Columbian Shell-Engravings from the Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma
Unequaled in North America as a single source of prehistoric figurative and decorative art, the Craig burial mound was plundered by commercial diggers in 1933. Hundreds of fragile shell artifacts covered with engraved designs were quickly sold and, whole or fragmented, were scattered in public and private collections across the country. For the past ten years, Dr. Philip Phillips, Honorary Curator of Southeastern Archaeology at Harvard, has super…
Current Directions in Midwestern Archaeology
Ten years ago James B. Griffin (62) observed that three themes dominated eastern North American prehistory: 1. the gradual evolution from hunting and gathering bands to settled agricultural societies over a period of 15, 000 years; 2. the achieve ment of two cultura l climaxes; and 3. the strong impact on cultural evolution of cultivated plant introductions from Mesoamerica. Subsequent research in the Midwest has continued to focus primarily on t…

Aboriginal Cultural Adaptations in the Midwestern Prairies
A Univac Analysis of Sherd Frequencies from the Carter Ranch Pueblo, Eastern Arizona
Three factors contribute to differences between archaeological samples: sampling error and functional and temporal differences between the parent populations from which the samples are drawn. Many archaeologists have explained such differences as due only to temporal variations between the parent populations, thereby ignoring sampling error and relegating functional specificity to a minor role.A statistical analysis of potsherd frequencies in sam…

The Identification of a Prehistoric Bone Tool from the Midwest
Worked deer jaws have been found in a large number of sites in the Plains and Midwest, and a variety of functions have been attributed to them. This paper singles out a typologically well-defined group of deer jaws from Mississippian sites and argues for their identification as sickles. The argument is confirmed by the pattern of wear that appeared on an experimental deer-jaw sickle made by the author. The striations that appeared on the buccal s…

The Dimensions of Status in the Burials at Spiro
Formal analysis is employed to express symbolically the behavior associated with disposal of the dead in archaeological contexts. Key diagrams are shown to economically express the partitioning of attribute space by a series of variables coded on independently measured dimensions. The attention of this paper is to explicate the analysis of formal-structural relations among archaeological materials from Spiro, a specialized Mississippian period si…
