News on the Web (NOW)
No full textThe NOW corpus (News on the Web) contains 17.2 billion words of data from web-based newspapers and magazines from 2010 to the present time (the most recent day is 2023-04-23). More importantly, the corpus grows by about 180-200 million words of data each month (from about 300,000 new articles), or about two billion words each year.
While other resources like Google Trends show you what people are searching for, the NOW Corpus is the only structured corpus that shows you what is actually happening in the language -- virtually right up to the present time. For example, see the frequency of words since 2010, as well as new words and phrases from the last few years. In this sense, NOW is the most robust monitor corpus of English.
Access to material is limited to UCLA graduate students and faculty. Undergraduates please use the standard web interface for the corpora: https://www.english-corpora.org/now/</b
Anthropomorphic pendant - Catalog No. 21
No full textTo the east of the Tisza River, in the eastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain and in Transylvania, following the Neolithic tradition of the use of Spondylus shells and jewelry of colored stone beads, copper and gold objects started to be manufactured in large numbers during the Copper Age. These artifacts, such as heavy copper axes and gold anthropomorphic pendants that were fastened to clothing, were frequently deposited in hoards and burials (see Catalog Nos. 19, 20, 23, and 24). The raw materials were probably supplied from Transylvanian mines. This gold pendant demonstrates the social and economic status of the owner.

Autopsy Analysis of Deaths in LA County Jail, 2009-2018
No full textThis data was abstracted from autopsies of people who died while incarcerated in the Los Angeles County Jail system between the years of 2009 and 2018. We abstracted data from the 58 autopsies made available to us from the responsive documents for a public records request made to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner (DME-C) in 2019 requesting autopsies for all deaths that occurred in LA County Jail custody between 2009 and 2019. We abstracted data across 84 different variables to allow for further analysis, leading to both better understanding of the circumstances of death in jail and the practices of the LA DME-C in investigating these deaths. Carefully selected language is used in the full autopsy analysis protocol with the intention of understanding the provenance of assertions of decedent health and mental health histories, as well as potential conflicts of interest, and failures to perform best practices of in-custody death investigations. In other words, the variables present information about the person prior to their death, the investigation right after the death, as well as the processes that occurred during the autopsy including subsequent tests conducted on the body
Bracelet with spiral ends - Catalog No. 38
No full textThis bracelet is part of a hoard that consists of a total of twenty gold bracelets with tapering ends, of which nine are featured in the exhibition, and four heavy gold bracelets with spiral ends. The assemblage represents a characteristic deposition tradition that emerged in the territory of the upper Tisza region and Transylvania during the thirteenth century BC. These gold bracelet hoards show similarities in terms of object types, and they were most likely communal offerings of several individuals.

Armband - Catalog No. 60
No full textThis unique gold sheet armband with high silver content lacks exact parallels—only an armband from Bilje in Croatia and another specimen from Tápióbicske in Hungary show similarities with the object. The armband has an elaborate decorative pattern that depicts stylized celestial bodies; these ornaments occur in the Middle Bronze Age Transylvanian–Eastern Carpathian metallurgical circle. Although the Dunavecse armband is an ostentatious prestige object, abrasion traces along its crescent-shaped ends indicate that it was likely worn by the bearer.
