چکیده

Abstract Since one of the aims modern archaeometallurgy is to understand processes carried out by ancient metalworkers, then ideally, we need go beyond traditional sources evidence for such — physical investigation and chemical analysis objects themselves, associated manufacturing debris. In order intentionality behind decisions taken these metalworkers (the ‘why’, in addition ‘how’), ‘see world’ as themselves did. The key issue how traverse gulf between perceptions natural world. Using Chinese bronze metalwork an example, argue that many interesting glimpses this world can be drawn from contemporary later literary sources. But it crucial note insights have supported independent evidence, scientific data or archaeological information. Once verified, findings significantly improve our knowledge metaphysical perception metal past offer a heuristic powerful tool interpret relationship metallurgy society. For Bronze Age, performed part political ritual particular, different colours provide important indicators social hierarchy evidenced burial practice.

Early atmospheric metal pollution provides evidence for Chalcolithic/Bronze Age mining and metallurgy in Southwestern Europe.

Although archaeological research suggests that mining/metallurgy already started in the Chalcolithic (3rd millennium BC), the earliest atmospheric metal pollution in SW Europe has thus far been dated to ~3500-3200 cal.yr. BP in paleo-environmental archives. A low intensity, non-extensive mining/metallurgy and the lack of appropriately located archives may be responsible for this mismatch. We ha...

Combining Lexical, Syntactic, and Semantic Evidence for Textual Entailment Classification

This paper describes the Emory system for recognizing textual entailment as used for the RTE4 track at the TAC 2008 competition. We use a supervised machine learning approach to train a classifier over a variety of lexical, syntactic, and semantic metrics. We treat the output of each metric as a feature, and train a classifier on the provided data from the previous RTE tracks. As a result, our ...
