Pharaonic Egypt and the origins of plague
The origins and dispersal of epidemic diseases have been the subject of much speculation (e.g. Zinsser, 1935; Brothwell & Sandison, 1967; McNeill, 1977; McKeown, 1988; Nikiforuk, 1991). Whilst the archaeological excavation of multiple apparently contemporary burials in pits may provide at the least circumstantial evidence for the occurrence of mass death by disease, most infections leave no spe...
متن کاملLand-Use Change Modelling in the Upper Blue Nile Basin
Land-use and land-cover changes are driving unprecedented changes in ecosystems and environmental processes at different scales. This study was aimed at identifying the potential land-use drivers in the Jedeb catchment of the Abbay basin by combining statistical analysis, field investigation and remote sensing. To do so, a land-use change model was calibrated and evaluated using the SITE (SImul...
متن کاملBorate, an Effective Mummification Agent in Pharaonic Egypt
Mummification salts and mummified bones were assayed for borate. In two samples of mummification salt one from Deir el-Bahari (26th Dynasty, 700Ð600 BC) and salt from the embalming material of Tutankhamen (18th Dynasty, 1370Ð1335 BC) 3.9 and 2.1 μMol borate/ gram were found, respectively. Six mummified bone fragments from the Old Kingdom contained up to 1.2 μMol/gram. It is suggested that borat...
متن کاملInvestigation of Land Use Change on Physicochemical Characteristics and Soil Erosion in Kaftargar Basin of Behshahr
The land-use change, cutting forest trees and the grasslands conversion to agricultural lands destroyed natural ecosystems and also current or future production capacity reduce and these are harmful effects on the soil physicochemical characteristics. This study taken with aim, checking the role of forest-land change on some soil physical-chemical characteristics and then identify some effectiv...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Effects of Land use Change on Flooding and Sedimentation In Honifaqan Watershed
In a natural ecosystem, land exploitation and change in environmental conditions, particularly changes in vegetation and land use effects on hydrological responses such as floods and erosion and sediment and ultimately causing heavy social-economic losses. Then, prediction of effect of land use changes on flood situation in the future decades and sedimentation of watersheds will be the way to d...
