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
Code for the modal solution of Lilley's equation with point source
No full textDataset supporting:
"Stone et al. Aeroacoustic catastrophes: upstream cusp beaming in Lilley's equation".
This Mathematica code can be used to compute the modal solution to Lilley's equation (for a point source) for any flow or source position at any receiver position in the far-field. This code uses the simple turning-point solution of the radial equation.
Also included here:
1. Ring source modal solution.
2. Weighted ring source solution.</span

This zip file contains two Mathematica Notebooks and CDF (Computational Document Format) files.
1. A spherical polar wrap of the modal solution to Lilley's equation with point source. The overlaying structures are defined in the above paper.
2. Cusp rays. Ray trajectories that form the cusp for two different receiver arcs.
Note that the Notebook files require the user to have a Mathematica license, whereas the CDF is an interactive document that can be viewed using a free-of-charge CDF viewer.</span

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
Archeometric Investigation of the Stone Tools of the Vatya Culture (Pest County, Hungary)
No full textWith the analysis of the middle Bronze Age (2000–1350 BC) Vatya culture findings in Pest county (Central Hungary) comprising of more than 400 polished stone tools and instrument tools this is the first archaeometric study with such scale in Hungary. In order to characterize petrographically the raw-material of the stone tools macroscopic and microscopic stone analyses were made together with mineralogical and geochemical analyses. In the course of the work a new digital database the Archaeometric Stone Tool Database was established. Based on the results, the material of the instrument stones is mainly sandstone and quartzite that were easy to collect from their source areas. Local volcanics, mostly amphibole containing andesite variations dominated among the material of the polished stone tools. Ophiolites (metamorphic basic rocks, serpentinized basic and ultrabasic rocks) were the raw-material of stone axes that indicate either more distant travels for raw-material or exchange import
