Substratum recognition as settlement cue for larvae of Dendropoma cristatum (Biondi, 1859)

2017

Despite the ecological relevance of the vermetid bioconstructions in the Mediterranean, little is known about the early life stage of Dendropoma cristatum. This study describes the preference for settlement substrata from D. cristatumlarvae. A field experiment was carried out to test the suitability of crustose coralline algae (CCA), D. cristatumadults and two inorganic substrata as settlement surfaces. The number of settling larvae varied among the four treatments with higher settlement success on organic surfaces. CCA and D. cristatumindividuals seem to promote attachment of young larvae and to induce the metamorphosis in recruits. This is probably due to biological or physical properties…

MODELLING VAGUE KNOWLEDGE FOR DECISION SUPPORT IN PLANNING ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROSPECTIONS

2012

Abstract. Most archaeological predictive models lack significance because fuzziness of data and uncertainty in knowledge about human behaviour and natural processes are hardly ever considered. One possibility to cope with such uncertainties is utilization of probability based approaches like Bayes Theorem or Dempster-Shafer-Theory. We analyzed an area of 50 km2 in Rhineland Palatinate (Germany) near a Celtic oppidum by use of Dempster-Shafer's theory of evidence for predicting spatial probability distribution of archaeological sites. This technique incorporates uncertainty by assigning various weights of evidence to defined variables, in that way estimating the probability for supporting a …

Ludność Górnego Śląska w latach 1950–1989 w świetle wybranych polskich i niemieckich materiałów źródłowych (opracowanie analityczne)

2017

Artykuł jest próbą nakreślenia obrazu ludności Górnego Śląska w latach 1950–1989, jaki udało się odtworzyć na podstawie wybranych materiałów źródłowych, pochodzących z polskich i niemieckich archiwów. Uwaga opracowania skupiona jest przy tym na problemie różnic w postrzeganiu ludności Górnego Śląska przez polskie i niemieckie władze (Republiki Federalnej Niemiec). Źródłem tych różnic był fakt, że oba kraje zarówno w kwestii postrzegania, jak i kreowania polityki na rzecz ludności Górnego Śląska w sposób marginalny uwzględniały znaczenie specyfiki polsko- -niemieckiego pogranicza kulturowego i jego wpływu na tożsamościowy rys jego mieszkańców. W ten sposób rodził się problem swoistej rywaliz…

Variation in the Sizes of Chthamalid Barnacle Post-Settlement Cyprids on European Shores

2001

As part of a wider study on the settlement and recruitment of Chthamalus spp. in Europe, this study investigated whether chthamalid cyprids can be separated by length on a European scale. Variation in cyprid length with latitude and temporal variation at selected localities were also examined. The lengths of cyprids collected between 1996-1999 on nine rocky shores in Europe are reported. Elminius modestus cyprids were found only at Roscoff, NW France and could be distinguished due to their Carapace shape and length. They showed a unimodal length distribution, measuring between 450 and 625 mum, with no variation in length between the two sampling dates (1997 and 1998). Based on carapace shap…

Bel-Air, Sénas (Bouches-du-Rhône) : a Late Neolithic open-air settlement site on the eastern foot-slopes of the Massif des Alpilles. Preliminary resu…

2014

This article is the first presentation of the excavation results following the developer-led archaeological project carried out between July and August 2012 at the site of Bel-Air, Sénas, Bouches-du-Rhône. Our current understanding of the diverse archaeological remains show that a densely occupied settlement existed within a relatively short-lived period during the second phase of the Late Neolithic in Provence, between 2880 and 2490 BC. The occupation is characterised by several phases of activity, which are at this stage of research, difficult to refine, but all of them being associated with the Couronnien group.
