Twenty Thousand-Year-Old Huts at a Hunter-Gatherer Settlement in Eastern Jordan
No full textTen thousand years before Neolithic farmers settled in permanent villages, hunter-gatherer groups of the Epipalaeolithic period (c. 22–11,600 cal BP) inhabited much of southwest Asia. The latest Epipalaeolithic phase (Natufian) is well-known for the appearance of stone-built houses, complex site organization, a sedentary lifestyle and social complexity—precursors for a Neolithic way of life. In contrast, pre-Natufian sites are much less well known and generally considered as campsites for small groups of seasonally-mobile hunter-gatherers. Work at the Early and Middle Epipalaeolithic aggregation site of Kharaneh IV in eastern Jordan highlights that some of these earlier sites were large aggregation base camps not unlike those of the Natufian and contributes to ongoing debates on their duration of occupation. Here we discuss the excavation of two 20,000-year-old hut structures at Kharaneh IV that pre-date the renowned stone houses of the Natufian. Exceptionally dense and extensive occupational deposits exhibit repeated habitation over prolonged periods, and contain structural remains associated with exotic and potentially symbolic caches of objects (shell, red ochre, and burnt horn cores) that indicate substantial settlement of the site pre-dating the Natufian and outside of the Natufian homeland as currently understood
Phase-Function Normalization in the 3-D Discrete-Ordinates Solution of Radiative Transfer – PART I: Conservation of Scattered Energy and Asymmetry Factor
No full textThe conditions for which conversation of scattered energy and phase-function asymmetry factor after discrete-ordinates methods (DOM) directional discretization for 3-D radiative transfer in anisotropic scattering media breaks down are examined. Directional discretization in anisotropic scattering media is found to alter the scattering asymmetry factor—a second-type of ‘‘false scattering.’’ Phase-function normalization which conserves scattered energy alone cannot correct this problem, and conservation of the asymmetry factor is simultaneously required. A normalization technique developed by the authors, which was successfully tested in 2-D asymmetric cylindrical-coordinate radiative transfer analysis, is intensively examined and validated with benchmark problems in 3-D Cartesian coordinates. In Part I of this study, the degree of anisotropy for which normalization is necessary to conserve these inherent quantities is presented for various phase-function approximations and discrete quadrature sets.Peer reviewed
Kephart the Hunter
No full textThis article, pages 5 to 19, is titled, “Kephart the Hunter.” It appears in the January 1914 issue of The Berea Quarterly. On page 2 is a photograph taken from Kephart’s book “Our Southern Highlanders.” Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Our Southern Highlanders” was first published in 1913 and revised in 1922
Coal and health in the Hunter: lessons from one valley for the world
No full textOnce an unquestioned source of economic prosperity, the damage caused by coal to people’s health, natural capital and the global climate has led to closer scrutiny of its impacts. The evidence suggests coal is becoming an unwelcome social and economic burden, and a risk to community wellbeing, the economy and a safe climate.
This report provides an insight into the evidence of the harm – local, national, and global – from coal production in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia.
The report looks at the literature on the adverse impacts on physical and psychological health associated with coal mining, transportation and production, as well as the contribution of climate change to health impacts and estimates the health costs associated with air pollution from coal sources in the some communities in the Hunter as well as the social costs of carbon associated with emissions produced from Hunter Valley coal

J. D. Carpenter to Horace Kephart, April 30, 1919
No full textIn a letter to Horace Kephart on April 30, 1919, J. D. Carpenter, secretary of the Lancaster Rifle Club, discusses a small collection of pistols he acquired from Mr. Sawyer. Since he received the Springfield rifle, Mr. Carpenter explains he will review the rifle’s description for Mr. Sawyer’s manuscript. He discusses his gun collection, including pistols, rifles, muskets, and carbines. He mentions the prospect of viewing an 1824 J. H. Halls Harpers Ferry Flintlock rifle, but had a misunderstanding with the owner

Mr. Horace Kephart,
Bryson City,
North. Carolina.
Dear Sir:
Acknowledging receipt of your letter of
the 9th instant, we take pleasure in inclosing herewith literature including price list, concerning the
Thompson Submachine Gun.
We believe this literature fully explains
the value of our gun which has the combined advantages
of the portability of the Distol, the accuracy of the
rifle, and the effectiveness of the machine gun, in
one weapon xveighing about eight pounds,
?Je would refer you to Mr. Junius Harden,
