Recent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments
author
Abstract:
This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory: a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present. It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory: An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.

Also, I don’t know if “naturality” is really a word. 1. Naturality with respect to isomorphisms 1.1. Let us start with the most naive approach to the concept of naturality. What does it mean for an algebraic construction to be “natural”...

I find myself thus in the awkward position of being both on the cutting-edge of using tweets as sources in the history of science, and as a technological curmudgeon at the same time. Not having a Twitter account my...

In mathematical proofs, the assumption of spherical symmetry is probably one of the most widely-used simpliications. This paper discusses to which extend spherical symmetry is appropriate for certain evolutionary algorithms. It turns out tha...
