    Reports on Completed Research for 2014 “Supporting worldwide research in all branches of Anthropology” REPORTS ON COMPLETED RESEARCH The following research projects, supported by Foundation grants, were reported as complete during 2014. The reports are listed by subdiscipline, then geographic area (where applicable) and in alphabetical order. A Bibliography of Publications resulting from Foundation-supported research (reported over the same period) follows, along with an Index of Grantees Reporting Completed Research. ARCHAEOLOGY Africa: DR. JAMIE LYNN CLARK, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, received a grant in April 2013 to aid research on “The Sibudu Fauna: Implications for Understanding Behavioral Variability in the Southern African Middle Stone Age.” This project sought to gain a deeper understanding of human behavioral variability during the Middle Stone Age through the analysis of the Still Bay (SB; ~71,000 ya) and pre-SB (>72,000 ya) fauna from Sibudu Cave. In addition to characterizing variation in human hunting behavior within and between the two periods, the project had two larger goals. First, to explore whether the data were consistent with hypotheses linking the appearance of the SB to environmental change. No significant changes in the relative frequency of open vs. closed dwelling species were identified, with species preferring closed habitats predominant throughout. This suggests that at Sibudu, the onset of the SB was not correlated with climate change. Secondly, data collected during this project will be combined with lithic and faunal data from later deposits at Sibudu in order to explore the relationship between subsistence and technological change spanning from the pre-SB through the post-Howiesons Poort MSA (~58,000 ya).

    Heterogeneous Accretion: Some Results of the Computer Modeling

    THE EIGHTH MOSCOW SOLAR SYSTEM SYMPOSIUM 2017 8MS3-PA-01 HETEROGENEOUS ACCRETION: SOME RESULTS OF THE COMPUTER MODELING (Dedicated to the memory of Tobias Owen) M.Ya. Marov, S.I. Ipatov Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Kosygin st., 19, Moscow 119991, Russia, [email protected] KEYWORDS: heterogeneous accretion, migration, planetesimals, matter delivery, water, vol- atiles, terrestrial planets INTRODUCTION: Toby Owen contributed in many important fields of planetary sciences involv- ing both theoretical research and experimental results returned by space mis- sions. It was a great privilege to discuss with him the most challenging ideas concerning the structure and composition of atmospheres of inner and outer planets, specifically isotopic ratios of noble gases on Mars and Venus aiming to reveal origin and evolution of these planets. Here we address one of these pioneering ideas discussed by Toby Owen in the paper co-authored by F. Anders and published in Science magazine as early as in 1977 [1]. Authors attempted to explain lacking of water and other vola- tiles on Earth after its accum ulation invoking a postulated migration process of volatile-rich bodies from periphery of the solar system at the later phase of its evolution, mainly in the course of Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) dated around 4 billion years ago. Delivery such a matter and its layered sedimentation (late veneer) on the inner planets’ surface the authors called the mechanism of heterogeneous accretion. The idea drew attention and took further development including computer modeling to ensure its more rigorous support. Results of the study can be found in the numerous publications showing the great advancement in the field (see, e.g., [2, 3] and references therein).

January 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies at the International Hellenic University. The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.

Women in Hebrew and Ancient Near Eastern Law Carol Pratt Bradley The place of women in ancient history is a subject of much scholarly interest and debate. This paper approaches the issue by examining the laws of ancient Israel, along with other ancient law codes such as the Code of Hammurabi, the Laws of Urnammu, Lipit-Ishtar, Eshnunna, Hittite, Middle Assyrian, etc. Because laws reflect the values of the societies which developed them, they can be beneficial in assessing how women functioned and were esteemed within those cultures. A major consensus among scholars and students of ancient studies is that women in ancient times were second class, op- pressed, and subservient to men. This paper approaches the subject of the status of women anciently by examining the laws involving women in Hebrew law as found in the Old Testament, and in other law codes of the ancient Near East.
