: Scientific Methods in Medieval Archaeology . Rainer Berger.

The Scientific Works of Rainer

This short notice presents a summary of the scientific contributions of Rainer Kemp (1949–2004) in the area of discrete mathematics, combinatorial enumeration, and analysis of algorithms. A complete bibliography of Kemp’s publications is included. Rainer Kemp, Professor of computer science at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt, passed away on May 14, 2004, eventually yielding to...

A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales: Medieval

This paper updates the research framework for the medieval period in Wales (c. AD 1070 1539), following the conference held in 2010. The framework has developed over several stages. The medieval period was initially examined in 2001 (Davidson 2003), following which four regional frameworks were compiled, to be summarised in 2005 for all of Wales (Austin 2004). The framework was re-examined in 2...

Archaeology, Magnetic Methods

Magnetic methods have become important tools for the scientific investigation of archaeological sites, with magnetic prospection surveys and archaeomagnetic dating being the most prominent ones. The principles behind these techniques were initially applied to larger and older features, for example prospecting for ore deposits (see Magnetic anomalies for geology and resources) or paleomagnetic d...

Rainer Klump

Using a normalized CES function with factor-augmenting technical progress, we estimate a supply-side system of the US economy from 1953 to 1998. Avoiding potential biases that have occurred in earlier estimations and putting a high emphasis on the consistency of the data set, required by the estimated system, we obtain robust results not only for the aggregate elasticity of substitution but als...
