Archaeometric studies on Neolithic bullet-shaped cores from East Chia Sabz, Seymareh, Luristan

مطالعات کانی شناسی روی سنگ های مادر فشنگیِ دورۀ نوسنگی در محوطۀ چیاسبزِ شرقی در سیمرۀ لرستان

The East Chia Sabz site is located at the bank of the Seymareh river in the middle of Zagros Mountain chain. The site is among the few collections of the Acramic Neolithic sites of eighth millenium BCE of Zagros which was archaeologically investigated during the rescue archaeological studies of the Seymareh dam. Numerous bullet-shaped core stones were unearhted during the archaeological excavat...

@bullet @bullet @bullet @bullet Bayesian Case Studies in Nonparametrics

Elements of Bayesian nonparametric statistical thought are explored in a series of case studies. Interpretation of a measurement as continuous, ordered, polychotomous, or dichotomous provides a framework in which examples are presented. Bayesian analogues to frequentist nonparametrics and overt Bayesian techniques are employed. Examples included are as follows: (1) averaging over families of di...

Explaining the Presence of Narrow-faced Bladelet Cores in Izeh Chipped Stone Assemblages and its relation to Population/Idea Movements in Late Pleistocene

Abstract: Several models of population/culture movements have been proposed based on bladelet production in Late Pleistocene of Eurasia. Narrow-faced bladelet/microblade cores, also known as "wedge shaped" cores in Central Asia and Far East studies, have been considered as a component of an inter-continent migration of people and idea which originated in Sibero-Mongolian region Upper Paleolithi...

X-ray and scanning electron microscopy archaeometric studies of pigments from the Aguada culture, Argentina

Cryo-EM model of the bullet-shaped vesicular stomatitis virus.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a bullet-shaped rhabdovirus and a model system of negative-strand RNA viruses. Through direct visualization by means of cryo-electron microscopy, we show that each virion contains two nested, left-handed helices: an outer helix of matrix protein M and an inner helix of nucleoprotein N and RNA. M has a hub domain with four contact sites that link to neighborin...

Bioarchaeology of Early Neolithic Skeletons from the Nankuanli East Site , Southwestern Taiwan

In this study, we examine the health and way of life of some of Taiwan’s earliest Neolithic peoples through studies of skeletons from the Nankuanli East (NKLE) site. The NKLE site is one of three oldest sites (ca. 4500-5000 BP) identified during salvage excavations in 2002-2003 in the Tainan Science Park (TSP) in Shanhua District, Tainan City, in southwestern Taiwan. Approximately 82 extended a...
