Recent advances in remote sensing technology, such as airborne LiDAR scanning, have greatly facilitated the surveying and identification of archaeological sites. This technology has made it possible to detect traces of ancient societies in heavily forested areas that would have otherwise remained ...
Arguably the most powerful social tool in the animal kingdom, language may have evolved as an adaptation to a new demand: the coordination of joint action. Coordinated joint action requires highly flexible adjustments in communicative behaviour regarding social context, interaction partner and ...
Create a physical model that connects the optical properties of the pigments used in cave paintings, and measured in-situ, to their physical and chemical properties: chemical composition of the minerals and binders, granulometry, texture. That model will be based on a physical model of radiative ...
In the AD 270s and 280s, huge numbers of imitations of copper-alloy radiate coins, usually referred to as “barbarous radiates”, were struck in Britain. While they are almost ubiquitous finds on excavations throughout the province, they have not been the focus of much research. This project ...
Dr. Leslea Hlusko is the Lead Researcher of the project Tied2Teeth: “Expanding our understanding of human evolution through pleiotropy” whose objective is to study the influence of the genes acting on dental variation upon aspects of human anatomy, and to apply this to the fossil record of the ...
