    MOBILITY, EXCHANGE, AND TOMB MEMBERSHIP IN BRONZE AGE ARABIA: A BIOGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lesley Ann Gregoricka, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Clark Spencer Larsen, Advisor Joy McCorriston Samuel D. Stout Paul W. Sciulli Copyright by Lesley Ann Gregoricka 2011 ABSTRACT Major transitions in subsistence, settlement organization, and funerary architecture accompanied the rise and fall of extensive trade complexes between southeastern Arabia and major centers in Mesopotamia, Dilmun, Elam, Central Asia, and the Indus Valley throughout the third and second millennia BC. I address the nature of these transformations, particularly the movements of people accompanying traded goods across this landscape, by analyzing human and faunal skeletal material using stable strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopes. Stable isotope analysis is a biogeochemical technique utilized to assess patterns of residential mobility and paleodiet in archaeological populations. Individuals interred in monumental communal tombs from the Umm an-Nar (2500-2000 BC) and subsequent Wadi Suq (2000-1300 BC) periods from across the Oman Peninsula were selected, and the enamel of their respective tomb members analyzed to detect (a) how the involvement of this region in burgeoning pan- Gulf exchange networks may have influenced mobility, and (b) how its inhabitants reacted during the succeeding economic collapse of the early second millennium BC. Due to the commingled and fragmentary nature of these remains, the majority of enamel samples came from a single tooth type for each tomb (e.g., LM1) to prevent ii repetitive analysis of the same individual.

  • The 2014 Global Retail Development Index
    The 2014 Global Retail Development Index™ Full Steam Ahead for Global Retailers In developing markets from South America to Southeast Asia to southern Africa, international retailers and their regional rivals are expanding, buoyed by a more upbeat economy and growing retail environments. Full Steam Ahead for Global Retailers 1 Fifteen years ago, global retailers in developing markets were true pioneers: either they held the deed to a beautiful tract of land and a future of growth, or their best-laid plans moldered in a foreign grave. It was a true risk-reward play: global expansion could bring tremendous growth and benefit, or surprising failure and disaster. Today’s global retailers get it. They have become more strategic in their expansion and in avoiding the operational pitfalls of entries into developing markets. Using e-commerce, they are pressure-testing demand in new markets to reduce risk, and they are taking advantage of financial vehicles such as credit cards and cash-on-delivery to help increase demand. The leaders are also identifying the unique challenges of each market, from India’s foreign direct investment policies to Brazil’s high duties to Turkey’s high credit card regulations. And even after they get a foot in the door in major metropolitan shopping districts, retailers are forced to strategize quickly to capture growth in tier 2 and 3 cities before the field becomes too crowded. The overall theme of A.T. Kearney’s 2014 Global Retail Development Index™ is continued expansion. Yes, there were some notable contractions in the past year—Walmart pruned its portfolio in China and Brazil, and Tesco’s more cautious approach to China included some store closings and a new joint venture—but for the most part retailers are continuing their push into developing markets.

  • Proposal for Strategic Focus Areas for the Danish Mediation and Complaints-Handling Institution for Responsible Business Conduct
    January 2015 Proposal for strategic focus areas for the Danish Mediation and Complaints-Handling Institution for Responsible Business Conduct 19 January 2015 1. Introduction OECD Watch appreciates the opportunity to submit a proposal to the Danish Mediation and Complaints-Handling Institution for Responsible Business Conduct (‘the Institution’), functioning as the OECD National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines in Denmark, to guide the Institution’s work plan for the period 2015-6. This proposal is intended to inform the Institution about sectors of particular strategic importance to Danish public and private enterprises and opportunities where the Institution can make a significant contribution to awareness raising about the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (‘the Guidelines’). OECD Watch looks forward to discussing the proposal in greater detail with the Institution on February 25th in Copenhagen. In this proposal OECD Watch first puts forward an overview and analysis of OECD Guidelines cases filed by civil society organisations (CSOs) to identify in which sectors and countries corporate misconduct has been addressed through the OECD Guidelines’ Specific Instance procedure. This context provides a key point of departure for identifying potentially relevant work areas and sectors for the Institution. The proposal further provides an outline of high-risk industrial sectors in which Danish companies are active, along with an overview which rights these companies are thought to be at greatest risk of violating. The proposal ends with a set of recommendations for the Institution to take up when further shaping its work plan for the period 2015-6. The methods used to develop the present proposal include a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the OECD Watch case database and desk research primarily involving corporate databases, company websites, news websites, and other online sources.
