We investigated the rock art (petroglyphs) in Al-Quwaiyah Governorate (Saudi Arabia) with focus on Musayqira site. Iconographic analysis showed a broad variety of human depictions, game animals (ibex, ass, ostrich, lion, etc.), domestic (cattle, camel, horse, dog, inscriptions and abstract symbols. Archaeometric measurements by pXRF provided areal densities Mn petroglyphs intact varnish. Varnis...

on the one hand, the vacant position of study about impact of achaemenid empire on eastern states is due to silence by classic authors in dealing with these lands; and on the other hand, it is reffered to shortage of archeological artifacts relating to achaemenids at the given region. in the present essay, by the aid of reminiscent works and economic and administrative evidences obtained from e...

. We compiled a suite of 490 heat flow measurements from the Pacific Ocean in areas with less than 85 m of sediment. Heat flow patterns at different basement ages vary with topographic relief. Areas with reliefs < 300 meters are conductively blanketed at 40-60 m.y. and may stop convecting at 70-90 m.y. Areas with reliefs > 300 meters are conductively blanketed at70-90 m.y. and convect out to > ...

Surfaces play an important role in visual perception. They are perceived as ‘(perceptual) reliefs’. that are surfaces in 2 + 1D perceptual space, that is the product space of the 2D visual field and the ID ‘depth dimension’. It is in many respects irrelevant whether the observer views a true 3D scene or a flat (2D) picture of a scene. In both cases, the percepts are reliefs in 2 + ID perceptual...

Decorative reliefs are widely used for e.g. packaging and porcelain design. In periodic reliefs, the relief repeats a pattern, for example all the way around an underlying surface of revolution. Reverseengineering of existing reliefs allows them to be re-applied to different base surfaces; we show here how to segment a single repeat unit of a periodic relief starting from a scanned triangle mes...

the geographic location of the elamite terrain which lies in parts of today&apos;s khuzestan caused a middle-man-role for this region situated in between water-ways leading to the head of the persian gulf and iranian plateau and mesopotamia. in addition to the fact that this territory, possessing several rivers, was very fertile, the reality that of one of the most important iranian trade-route...
