Buried under surface layers were pits containing ceramic jars associated with human remains, in a complex sequence of deposits. Rare for cave sites here, the preservation of the site was excellent. The finds included a worked stone disc, overlying a crushed pot and human remains, and a constellation of types of remains resembling others from iron age sites in the region, including the Plain of Jars. Soon after we completed our field season in 2010, the National Museum learned that the site had been disturbed. In 2013 we returned to assess the impact of this and devise a plan for rescue archaeology at the site. This paper discusses the preliminary findings from Tham An Mah and its potential regional significance. Keywords: jar burial, Luang Prabang, Laos, looting, Plain of Jars Introduction The Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP) with the Department of Heritage of Lao PDR have been carrying out a series of investigations into the archaeology of the Middle Mekong region, including surveys and small test excavations in the Luang Prabang area of Laos (White and Bouasisengpaseuth 2008; White et al. 2009; White 2007; Given and Hyla 2006; Marwick 2006; Marwick et al. 2009). Four cave sites were targeted initially for test excavations from four different valleys tributary to the Mekong, on the basis of survey results showing the surface presence of prehistoric pottery as well as Hoabinhian lithics, and based on the site locations in the landscape. Three of these sites have been discussed briefly in preliminary publications and reports, or are currently in preparation: Phou Phaa Khao rockshelter (White et al. 2009; Lewis 2007), Tham Vang Ta Leow cave (Lewis 2008; White et al. 2009), and Tham Sua rockshelter (Marwick et al.

News GUAM From: Cherie Walth SWCA Environmental Consultants, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Email: [email protected] Subject: Brief Discussion of the Results from the Agana Bridge Project, Guam The Agana Bridge project for the Department of Public Works, Guam, is located along Route 1 from the intersection of Route 4 eastward to the intersection of Route 8, and south along Route 8 for 120 m (394 feet). The study area has been extensively disturbed in historic to modern times, with WWII bombing, channelization of the Agana River, construction of Route 1/Route 8, and the installation of utilities along the roadway. Despite the extensive past disturbance that had impacted the cultural deposits in the area, the project area still retains undisturbed cultural deposits. Fieldwork commenced June 28, 2012, and ended on April 11, 2014. The nearly 2 years of fieldwork included monitoring of ground disturbance below the base course of the roadway, hand excavation of four control units, excavation of 19 non-burial features, and excavation of 65 field-identified human burials.

  • What Is the Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and All- Cause Mortality?: Systematic Review Protocol
    DRAFT - Current as of 4/20/2020 WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND ALL- CAUSE MORTALITY?: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL This document describes the protocol for a systematic review to answer the following question: What is the relationship between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality? The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Beverages and Added Sugars Subcommittee, answered this question by conducting a systematic review with support from USDA’s Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR). NESR methodology for answering a systematic review question involves: • searching for and selecting articles, • extracting data and assessing the risk of bias of results from each included article, • synthesizing the evidence, • developing a conclusion statement, • grading the evidence underlying the conclusion statement, and • recommending future research. More information about NESR’s systematic review methodology is available on the NESR website: https://nesr.usda.gov/2020-dietary-guidelines-advisory-committee-systematic-reviews. This protocol is up-to-date as of: 4/20/2020. This document reflects the protocol as it was implemented. It now includes the electronic databases and search terms, and literature search and screening results, including a list of included articles, and a list of excluded articles with the rationale for exclusion.
