Head Shaping and Dental Decoration
نویسنده
چکیده
The presence, forms and techniques used in artificial cranial deformation and dental decoration were studied in 1,515 skeletons found in 94 mostly pre-Hispanic archeological sites (in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras) dating from the Preclassical, Classic and Postclassic periods. Biographical and associated archeological information was analyzed, based on a theoretical model of biocultural interaction patterns. In the Classic period, evidence was found for the relevance of both practices as indicators of regional and local cultural diversity and as signs of distinction among the ancient Maya.

Insect form vision as one potential shaping force of spider web decoration design.
Properties of prey sensory systems are important factors shaping the design of signals generated by organisms exploiting them. In this study we assessed how prey sensory preference affected the exploiter signal design by investigating the evolutionary relationship and relative attractiveness of linear and cruciate form web decorations built by Argiope spiders. Because insects have an innate pre...
