Objectives We estimate adult age distributions from Unar 1 and Unar 2, two late Umm an-Nar (2400-2100 BCE) tombs in the modern-day Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. These collective tombseach contained hundreds of skeletons in commingled, fragmented, and variably cremated states. Previous studies placed the vast majority of this mortuary community in a generalized “adult” category, as have most analyses of similar tombs from this period. We sought to test how adult age estimation methods compare in identifying young, middle, and old age individuals in commingled assemblages.

Rapid Growth In Late Cretaceous Sea Turtles Reveals Life History Strategies Similar To Extant Leatherbacks, Laura E. Wilson

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Modern sea turtle long bone osteohistology has been surprisingly well-studied, as it is used to understand sea turtle growth and the timing of life history events, thus informing conservation decisions. Previous histologic studies reveal two distinct bone growth patterns in extant sea turtle taxa, with Dermochelys (leatherbacks) growing faster than the cheloniids (all other living sea turtles). Dermochelys also has a unique life history compared to other sea turtles (large size, elevated metabolism, broad biogeographic distribution, etc.) that is likely linked to bone growth strategies. Despite the abundance of data on modern sea turtle bone growth, extinct sea turtle osteohistology …

El Simbolismo En Los Vestidos De Las Reinas Mayas Durante El Período Clásico. El Caso De La Reina Ix Lachan Unen Mo’ De Tikal, Cristina Vidal Lorenzo, Esther Parpal Cabanes

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Las antiguas mujeres mayas fueron las encargadas de la elaboración del vestuario y el bordado de los significativos elementos que embellecían tanto sus trajes como los de los varones de su tiempo. Y es que la tarea de tejer, concebida como una metáfora de la creación de la vida, fue considerada una actividad del género femenino. Así, mediante la elaboración de estas prendas ellas plasmaron su identidad como individuos, como mujeres y como pueblo. En este sentido, el trabajo que hemos desarrollado ha consistido en procesar y clasificar toda la información que hasta ahora se ha compilado acerca de los …

Conservación Y Restauración De Tejidos Precolombinos, Teresa Toca

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

El material de este estudio lo constituyen cincuenta y siete piezas de tejidos precolombinos de la Zona Andina. Entre estas piezas se encuentran también husos para hilar y madejas de hilo. Todas pertenecen al Instituto de Antropología de la Ciudad de La Habana, y en el momento de ser estudiadas y trabajadas se encontraban depositadas en una bóveda de la Academia de Ciencias de La Habana. Llegué a conectarme con el arte precolombino desde mi perspectiva como pintora, con un ojo sintonizado hacia el uso del color, sus formas y texturas. Me sedujo la manera como en él se resolvían …

Eco-Necrotourism And Public Land Management: Last Chance Tourism, Ecological Grief, And The World's Disappearing Natural Wonders, Robin Kundis Craig, Katrina Fischer Kuh

Florida State University Law Review

Last Chance Tourism. 500 Places to See Before They Disappear. 100 Places to Go Before They Disappear. As these (real) book titles at-test, climate change, often in combination with loss of biodiversity, has created a new kind of ecotourism, which we term eco-necrotourism—the desire to see natural wonders and rare species before they are lost or transformed forever. As a scholarly topic, eco-necrotourism is a small facet of an emerging necessity for climate change law and policy: the need for planners, managers, lawmakers, and policy writers to consider human psychological responses to climate change and its impacts. However, those responses …

Iconography Of Sky Bands, Earth Bands, Skull & Crossed-Bones Bands In Classic Maya Art, Nicholas Hellmuth

Segundo congreso internacional de iconografía precolombina. Barcelona, 2023. Actas.

This presentation introduces Maya motifs that tend to be in horizontal bands. The most common horizontal band is the Sky Band. The other common horizontal band is the Surface of the Underwaterworld, associated with Xibalba, below the surface. There is also an Earth Band, made of Caban symbols—rare but present at Palenque. The Witz is usually a “stone mountain” and rarely a band, but deserves to be included and studied. Another set of bands was of skulls and crossed bones; there is an endless band of these at Uxmal and nearby Puuc site of Nohpat. There are other bands that …

Table Talk: Short Talks On The Weightier Matters Of Law And Religion, John Witte Jr.

Center for the Study of Law and Religion Books

“Table talks” have long been a familiar genre of writing for jurists, theologians, politi­cians, and novelists. In this little volume, thirty sage reflections on how to thrive in law school and in the legal profession are offered: short commentaries on controversial matters of faith, freedom, and family; pithy sermons on difficult biblical texts about law and justice; and touching tributes to a few of his fallen heroes. Most of the thirty texts gathered here were made at seminar tables, academic roundtables, editorial tables, and Eucharist tables. Cast in avuncular form, these texts probe what makes life worth living, work worth …
