Rapa Nui (Easter Island)’s Stone Worlds
No full textThis article explores the spatial, architectural and conceptual relationships between landscape places, stone quarrying, and stone moving and building during Rapa Nui’s statue-building period. These are central themes of the ‘Rapa Nui Landscapes of Construction Project’ and are discussed using aspects of the findings of our recent fieldwork. The different scales of expression, from the detail of the domestic sphere to the monumental working of quarries, are considered. It is suggested that the impressiveness of Rapa Nui’s stone architecture is its conceptual coherence at the small scale as much as at the large scale. </div
Globalisation of Stone Tools and Beginnings of Mechanical Processing of Polymers
No full textBased on research on influence of rubber and plastics on globalization, an interesting question arose: can we define the first globalization way of material culture? Manufacturing of first stone tools can be seen at the site of Gona, Ethiopia (dated to 2,6 million years ago), followed by several sites including the evidence from West Turkana in Kenya (2,74 - 1.94 million years ago), Olduvai in Tanzania and Sterkfontain in South Africa (2 - 1,6 million years ago). The products found at the sites were simple stone choppers, chopping tools and flakes. We used synthesiological approach and combined the knowledge from archaeology, production technology and the field of polymers in order to approach the interesting question relating to the aforementioned finds: for which purpose these tools were used? Firstly, the manufactured stone tools were used for procedures such as breaking of the natural polymers: e.g. crushing of the larger bones in order to obtain the marrow, and for butchering of animals.globalisation, Stone tools Road, mechanical processing, natural polymers

Ruth Stone, 12th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textRuth Stone is the author of six books or chapbooks of poetry: In an Iridescent Time, 1960; Topography and Other Poems, 1971; Unknown Messages, 1973; Cheap, 1975; American Milk, 1986; Second-Hand Coat: New and Selected Poems, 1987. Three new books will be published this year: Who is the Widow\u27s Muse?; The Yasha Poems, and The Solitary. We were very fortunate that Ruth Stone taught creative writing as a visiting faculty member at Old Dominion University during 1989-90
Tacit knowledge, learning and expertise in dry stone walling
No full textThis is a detailed study of learning in the context of dry stone walling. It examines
what happens in the learning situation. The aim of this work was:
'To understand the nature of expertise in dry stone walling, how it is understood
by those practising the craft, and how it is transmitted to others'.
The main research questions were, therefore:
What happens when dry stone wallers are learning their craft?
How do they acquire expertise in dry stone walling?
How is this learning communicated?
This process necessitated developing a way of engaging with the practitioners,
eliciting descriptive data about what they were doing, and why they were doing it,
through interviews (or conversations) with both individuals and groups, whilst
they practiced their skill. Twenty three wailers were interviewed as they worked,
building walls.
The material obtained was analysed under seven different themes:
'Knowing how'
The use of tacit knowledge or intuition
'Flow'
Constant decision making, reflection and learning from mistakes
Individual and subjective variations and experiences
The relevance of emotion
The use of 'rules of thumb' or maxims.
Learning walling does not fit simply into any of the seven themes. It is
contextualised, complex and individual. It demonstrates tacit knowledge and
intuition. It involves emotion, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. It involves
memory, problem solving, and learning from mistakes, and reflection. Maxims or
'rules of thumb' were a key element in the learning process at all stages. Linear
stages of learning were not evidenced. Deep understanding of the practice is
evidenced, and the wider learning and teaching implications are explored
Joyful Readers: The New Webster Series
No full textThe Monkey and the Glasses (162) is listed as from Russia. Krylov, its author, seems not to be mentioned. The story is well told, with two nice colored illustrations. Though this fable is in good condition, the rest of the book has suffered somewhat from young hands. Do not miss the streamlined train engine on 16! The book is copyrighted, apparently, in 1932 and 1939.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clarence R. Stone and Odille Ousle
