  • The Copper Hoards Problem: a Technological Angle
    The Copper Hoards Problem: A Technological Angle Received 14 June 1969 D. P. AGRAWAL I. THE PROBLEM HE Copper Hoards are difficult to define. Copper artifacts discovered from sites as distant as Shalozan in the northwest, Bhagrapir in the east and Kallur in the south T have all been lumped together under the designation, "Copper Hoards." Tool types also are equally varied: they include socketed axes, trunnion axes, flat celts, anthropomorphs, rings, and harpoons, among others. The problem of definition is further compounded by the fact that all these finds are unstratified, and they have no association with other artifacts. The earliest discoveries were reported by V. A. Smith (1905, 1907). R. Heine-Geldern (1936) equated them with the Indo-Aryan culture on the basis of typological considerations alone. He proposed that the trunnion axes came from Transcaucasia, the axe-adze from the Danube and the antennae sword from the Koban region. He surmised that these artifacts came to India through Persia around 1200-1000 B.C. In this equation he was at first supported by S. Piggott (1944), but subsequently the latter proposed that they were perhaps the relics of the Harappan refugees (Piggott 1950). In a brilliant analysis, B. B. Lal (1951) pointed out that the trunnion axe, the Fort Monroe sword, the socketed axe-adze and the axe had a westerly distribution, whereas the harpoon, the barcelt and the anthropomorph were confined to the Doab and never occurred west of it. But undeterred by Lal's criticism, Heine-Geldern repeated (1956) his arguments and declared that the Copper Hoard-Aryans, coming from the West, invaded India between 1200 and 1000 B.C.

KRUCKEBERG Department of Botany, KB-15 University of Washington Seattle, Washington 98195 ABSTRAcr "Islands" ofdiscontinuity in the distribution ofplants are common in mainland (continental) regions. Such discontinuities should be amenable to testing the tenets of MacArthur and Wilson's island biogeography theory. Mainland gaps are often the result of discontinuities in various geological attributes-the geoedaphic syndrome of topography, lithology and soils. To discover ifgeoedaphically caused patterns of isolation are congruent with island biogeography theory, the effects of topographic discontinuity on plant distributions are examined first. Then a similar inspection is made of discon­ tinuities in parent materials and soils. Parallels as well as differences are detected, indicating that island biogeography theory may be applied to mainland discontinuities, but with certain reservations. Key words: acid (sterile) soils, edaphic islands, endemism, geoedaphics, granite outcrops, island bio- geography, mainland islands, serpentine, speciation, topographic islands, ultramafic, vas­ cular plants, vernal pools. INTRODUCTION "Insularity is ... a universal feature of biogeography"-MacArthur and Wilson ( 196 7) Do topographic and edaphic islands in a "sea" of mainland normal environ­ ments fit the model for oceanic islands? There is good reason to think so, both from classic and recent biogeographic studies.

  • Dental Shape Variation and Phylogenetic Signal in the Rattini Tribe Species of Mainland Southeast Asia
    Journal of Mammalian Evolution https://doi.org/10.1007/s10914-017-9423-8 ORIGINAL PAPER Dental Shape Variation and Phylogenetic Signal in the Rattini Tribe Species of Mainland Southeast Asia A. Hulme-Beaman1,2,3,4 & J. Claude5 & Y. Chaval6 & A. Evin5 & S. Morand7 & J. D. Vigne2 & K. Dobney1,3,8 & T. Cucchi1,2 # The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract The Rattini tribe comprises some of the most specious genera in the mammalian kingdom. Many of these species are also highly morphologically conserved. As a result, identifying Rattini tribe animals, particularly those of the Rattus genus, to species level is extremely difficult. Problems with identification of conservative morphologies, particularly of the skeleton, have led to difficul- ties in understanding the fossil remains and as a result the systematics of this group. Here, we apply geometric morphometrics to the first lower molar of 14 species of the Rattini tribe. We find that the morphological data present a strong phylogenetic signal. However, within Rattus, this signal is rather complex and possibly hints at rapid evolutionary shape and size changes. In modern species, it is possible to identify specimens to species level with a good degree of confidence. We find that using both size and shape together affords further confidence with identification. However, we caution against the over-reliance on size in environ- ments with unknown species composition and climate, particularly in archaeological contexts. This approach should prove to be a useful tool for identifying fossil and sub-fossil remains, particularly where biomolecular markers are absent in circumstances of poor preservation.
