the bakun phase, as one of most significant chalcolithic cultures of fars province attributed basic stage related to socio-economic transformation in early village societies of iran. on the basis of varied archaeological researches regarding bakun phase, revealed relatively homogenous culture on the whole of fars and some its neighbors was characterized by black on buff painted ceramic assembla...

A comprehensive, consistently interpreted new catalog of felt intensities for India (Martin and Szeliga, 2010, this issue) includes intensities for 570 earthquakes; instrumental magnitudes and locations are available for 100 of these events. We use the intensity values for 29 of the instrumentally recorded events to develop new intensity versus attenuation relations for the Indian subcontinent ...

Pottery Making Technologhy from Neolithic to Chalcolithic (middle Bakun) period in Tappeh Rahmatabad based on Ceramographic and Chemical Analysis

Bakun (2009) argues that the conclusions of Hough and Hutton (2008) are wrong because the study failed to take into account the Sierra Nevada attenuation model of Bakun (2006). In particular, Bakun (2009) argues that propagation effects can explain the relatively high intensities generated by the 1872 Owens Valley earthquake. Using an intensity attenuation model that attempts to account for att...

Intestinal parasitic infection among five interior communities at Bakun Valley, upper Rejang River, Sarawak, Malaysia, was investigated as part of a public health impact assessment of the proposed US$ 3 billion Bakun Hydroelectric Project. Coproparasitological examination of 355 stool samples from 7 of 16 villages representing 5 of 7 tribes in the area revealed infection rate of 41%. A higher i...

In the 70 years prior to the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, seventeen M≥6 earthquakes shook the San Francisco Bay region; in the 94 years following there have been only five (Bakun, 1999). A plausible explanation is that after great earthquakes the crust in an entire region is relaxed, creating a "stress shadow" within which other large earthquakes are suppressed until plate tectonic stre...
