Domesticate Animal Herding and Procurement Strategies, and the Childhood Origin of the Human Mandible (SP1) from the Bronze Age Site of Punta di Zambrone, Calabria, Italy: a Laser Ablation Sr Isotope Study. Orea|Punta di Zambrone I Oriental and European Archaeology Volume 17|
No full textStrontium isotope analysis of human and faunal enamel has the potential to reveal human childhood origins, and herding and other movements of animals. Recent developments have included laser ablation sampling which dramatically increases the spatial resolution at which strontium isotopes can be measured. This allows time series of changes in strontium isotopes to be measured along the growth axis of enamel, giving a highly time-resolved measure of human and animal movement. Here we present the method and some examples of its application including our work attempting to identify the provenance of humans at the Bronze Age harbour site of Punta di Zambrone (possible inhabitants of the settlement or foreigners related to its destruction?) and to identify the extent of the agricultural catchment of this settlement through analysis of cattle, pig and other animal teeth. The Sr isotope results show a faunal catchment of approximately 15km, stretching from the coast to the inland high plain, and suggest that the individual SP1 was most likely local to the region

No full textWas können wir aus Krisen lernen? Reflexion der Verflechtungen der Corona-Pandemie und der Klimakrise. GW-Unterricht|GW-Unterricht 163|
No full textSowohl die Corona-Pandemie als auch die Klimakrise verdeutlichen: Die menschliche Gesundheit ist untrennbar mit derplanetaren Gesundheit verbunden. Den hierin liegenden Herausforderungen und Fragen nach der Notwendigkeit einersozial-ökologischen Transformation widmet sich die virtuelle Podiumsdiskussion des ‚Thementags Klimawandel’ auf dergeographischen Fachtagung #GeoWoche2021. Dort diskutieren die Geograph*innen Elke Hertig, Thomas Loster, LuisaNeubauer und Patrick Sakdapolrak die Fragestellung „Was können wir aus der Corona-Pandemie für den Umgang mitder Klimakrise lernen?” In diesem Beitrag werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, diese Diskussion (als Liveübertragung am07.10.2021 oder im Nachhinein als Videoaufzeichnung) in den Geographie- und GW-Unterricht einzubinden. Das Unterrichtsmaterialbietet Schüler*innen im Sinne politischer Bildung Gelegenheiten, um Gemeinsamkeiten, Verflechtungen undHerausforderungen der Krisen fachlich zu erschließen, eigene Standpunkte zur Fragestellung der Diskussion zu etablierenund das Expert*innengespräch kritisch zu reflektieren

Handmade Burnished Pottery in the Palace of Ayios Vasileios, Laconia (Southern Greece) .. Orea|Punta di Zambrone I Oriental and European Archaeology Volume 17|
No full textThe handmade burnished pottery appears in the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE at many palatial centres of the Greek mainland and is particularly frequent in the Argolid. In the southeastern Peloponnese, Ayios Vasileios is, next to the Menelaion, the second site where this peculiar pottery class was found. The ongoing excavation in the newly found palatial centre may add valuable information for the interpretation of handmade pottery of the early 12th century BCE. The handmade pottery from Ayios Vasileios reflects shapes and decoration of Italian impasto pottery traditions that were common in many other sites of the Greek mainland and on Crete. The new finds seem to support the hypothesis of a foreign – in this case most probably Italian – population segment present in major centres, especially during the period that followed the severe destruction of the palaces in the Argolid. In the light of the typological connections between the Laconian and the Argolidan handmade burnished ware, especially from Tiryns, we suggest a movement of small groups of people from the Argolid to the south
Provenance Determination of Bronze Age Grinding Stones from Punta di Zambrone. Orea|Punta di Zambrone I Oriental and European Archaeology Volume 17|
No full textThe present study deals with the analysis of several fragments of grinding stones from excavations at Punta di Zambrone, a coastal site in Calabria, southern Italy, as well as with survey finds in the wider region of this settlement. For all grinding stone fragments a Bronze Age dating is ascertained, or at least very probably. The fragments are made of grey, vesicular lavas which are not available in this region. For the determination of the provenance of the grinding stone fragments geochemical analyses were performed. By comparing the major and trace element composition with the geochemical data of volcanic rocks in the Mediterranean, a provenance from the Aeolian Islands can be assumed. Thus, a procurement of rocks as raw material for the production of grinding stones or the finished tools can be attested as early as the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC
Meeting User Requirements for Mapping and Characterizing Deprived Urban Areas in Support of Pro-Poor Policies. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2021, Volume 1|
No full textSpatial data on Low-and-Middle-Income-Country (LMIC) cities, and deprived areas within cities, are often not readily available in support of local and global information needs. To address this information gap, we propose the systematic semi-automated SLUMAP framework that provides policy-relevant information on deprived urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), based on free open-source software (FOSS). First, we assess user needs for spatial information on deprivation (ranging from local communities to global research and policy support). Second, we show how free or low-cost image datasets can be used for mapping the location of deprived areas at the city scale and providing an overall assessment of their spatial patterns. This is implemented as a grid-based approach using machine learning and assessing the contribution of a large number of spectral and spatial features derived from open or low-cost imagery. Third, we show how higher (spatial and spectral) resolution data can provide a detailed characterization of such areas, with a GEOBIA/machine-learning workflow and deep learning techniques. We illustrate the experiments and results on the city of Nairobi (Kenya)and discuss transferability to SSA cities
