  • Prehistoric Mongolian Archaeology in the Early 21St Century: Developments in the Steppe and Beyond
    Journal of Archaeological Research (2021) 29:431–479 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10814-020-09152-y Prehistoric Mongolian Archaeology in the Early 21st Century: Developments in the Steppe and Beyond Joshua Wright1 Published online: 7 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract There has been a great increase in archaeological research in Mongolia since 2000. Increasingly precise chronologies, regional studies, and the growth of development- driven archaeology are transforming our knowledge of this key region of north- eastern Asia. This review summarizes recent work and provides a narrative of the prehistoric and medieval cultural sequences as presently understood. I focus on long-standing key topics: early human habitation, the adoption of food-producing economies, Bronze Age social transformations, and the emergence of central places and large polities. I argue that, on the one hand, Mongolia has unique data and new examples to ofer the archaeological community and, on the other, that the prehis- tory of Mongolia and the steppe are not so diferent from the rest of the world in its history of research and key questions. This review provides general overviews covering the Upper Paleolithic, Epipaleolithic or Neolithic, and Bronze Age to the Xiongnu period; specifc data related to each period provide jumping-of points for comparative analysis and further examination. Keywords Mongolia · Hunter-gatherers · Nomadic pastoralism · Monumentality · State origins Introduction Mongolia has seen an explosion of high-quality archaeological research and publica- tion during the frst decades of this century. So much so that it is possible for me to write a new, and somewhat unorthodox, narrative of the prehistoric archaeology of Mongolia.

  • Chapter 4 the Hoabinhian of Southeast Asia and Its Relationship
    Chapter 4 The Hoabinhian of Southeast Asia and its Relationship to Regional Pleistocene Lithic Technologies Ben Marwick This chapter has been peer-reviewed and published in: Robinson, Erick, Sellet, Frederic (Eds.) 2018. Lithic Technological Organization and Paleoenvironmental Change Global and Diachronic Perspectives. Springer International Publishing. DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-64407-3 Abstract The Hoabinhian is a distinctive Pleistocene stone artefact technology of mainland and island Southeast Asia. Its relationships to key patterns of technological change both at a global scale and in adjacent regions such as East Asia, South Asia and Australia are currently poorly understood. These key patterns are important indicators of evolutionary and demographic change in human prehistory so our understanding of the Hoabinhian may be substantially enhanced by examining these relationships. In this paper I present new evidence of ancient Hoabinhian technology from Northwest Thailand and examine connections between Hoabinhian technology and the innovation of other important Pleistocene technological processes such as radial core geometry. I present some claims about the evolutionary significance of the Hoabinhian and recommend future research priorities. Introduction The Hoabinhian represents a certain way of making stone artifacts, especially sumatraliths, during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene in island and mainland Southeast Asia. Although it has been a widely accepted and used concept in the region for several decades, its relationships to key patterns of technological and paleoenvironmental change both at a global scale and in adjacent regions such as East Asia, South Asia and Australia are currently poorly understood. What makes these relationships especially intriguing is that the geographical locations of Hoabinhian assemblages are at strategic points on the arc of dispersal from Africa to Australia.

  • Economic Performance of a Liquid-Based Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) System Over Large Geographical Cities Around the World
    Master Level Thesis European Solar Engineering School No. 264, June 2020 Digital Mapping of Techno- Economic Performance of a Liquid-Based Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) System over Large Geographical Cities Around the World Master thesis 15 credits, 2020 Solar Energy Engineering Author: Santhan Reddy Penaka Supervisors: Puneet Kumar Saini Xingxing Zhang Dalarna University Examiner: Solar Energy Ewa Wäckelgård Engineering Course Code: EG3022 Examination date: 2020-06-17 K i Abstract Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors are widely used to harness a large fraction of the solar spectrum to generate electricity and heat from a single collector. The circulation of the working medium will pass through the collector which cools down the PV cell temperature and also increases the water temperature, which will increase the electrical and thermal performance at the same time. PVT is an emerging technology and is demonstrated for domestic and industrial applications. There has also been a major gap for the techno- economic analysis of PVT system in different climatic conditions and further developing reliable financial models that can be applied in different regions. This thesis paper presents a techno-economic evaluation of a liquid-based PVT collector system developed by Abora Solar, Spain across a wide range of climatic conditions and contexts. The various performance indicators are visualized by digital mapping approach for 86 different locations all over the world. The databank obtained from the analysis is further used to establish a general correlation between collector performance and meteorological parameters such as Global horizontal irradiation and ambient temperature. The collector energetic performance is simulated using a validated and proprietary simulation tool developed by Abora Solar company.

  • The Blade Manufacturing of Clovis, Solutrean and the Broader Technological Aspects of Production in the Upper Palaeolithic
    Testing the Atlantic Ice Hypothesis: The Blade Manufacturing of Clovis, Solutrean and the Broader Technological Aspects of Production in the Upper Palaeolithic. Submitted by Thomas Joseph Williams, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology October 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)……………………………………………………………………… 1 Abstract The origins of Clovis technology and the nature and timing of the first populations to reach the Western Hemisphere is one of the most contentious issues in American archaeology. With the rejection of “Clovis-first”, many scholars consider that all colonising migrations followed a route out of Asia and across Beringia into North America. However, none of the technologies present in the far northeast of Asia or Beringia exhibit the manufacturing processes that were used in Clovis. To address this enigma, Stanford and Bradley proposed a radical alternative for the origins of Clovis. They argue that a small pioneering group of Solutreans crossed the Atlantic ice sheets of the LGM and reached the shores of North America. The basis for this argument stems from technological similarities between Clovis and the Solutrean, as well as from climatic, oceanographic, and ethnographic data. Biface manufacture is at the centre of their technological analysis, specifically comparing the reduction sequences of the distinctive Solutrean laurel leaf points and comparing them to Clovis points.

Cleary Date: 25-28 October 1982 Location: Maxwell AFB, Alabama Edited and Transcribed by Beth F. Scott ORAL HISTCRY TRWSCRIPT ACCESS GRANTED DATE- I I FOREl’iORD One of the oldest and oft-used sources for reconstructing the past is the personal recollections of the individuals who were involved. While of great value, memoirs and oral interviews are primary source documents rather than finished history. The following pages are the personal remembrances of the interviewee and not the official opinion of the US Air Force Historical Program or of the Department of the Air Force. The Air Force has not verified the statements contained herein and does not ;issume any responsibility for their accuracy. These pages are a transcript of an oral interview recorded on magnetic tape. Editorial notes and additions made by US Air Force historians have been enclosed in brackets. When feasible, first names, ranks, or titles have been provided. Only minor changes for the sake of clarity were made before the transcript was returned to the interviewee for final editing and approval. Readers must therefore remember that this is a transcript of the spoken, rather than the written, word.
