88. Nomad Burials in Marmarica

Human Burials

Taphonomic factors significantly affect the preservation of bone specimens that are ultimately available for examination by the researcher. Burial practices can disturb previous interments, as does rodent burrowing. Soil pH can greatly alter or destroy many smaller bone or bone with less density. Flooding and erosional episodes, as discussed in the last paper, can severely disturb burials. Fina...

Burials: Dietary Sampling Methods

Audio Nomad

Audio Nomad comprises a series of cross-disciplinary art/science projects working on the concept of GPS-driven location-based audio applications. Project outcomes in the form of artworks enable a user or audience to experience a virtual audio world situated within the real world, as a spatial composition of sounds seeming to originate from real objects. Two-dimensional audio spatialization simu...

Modeling Nomad-settlement Interactions

It is widely assumed that there was a certain degree of economic interdependency between nomadic and sedentary groups in the Bronze Age Near East. Unfortunately, the archaeological and historical evidence for nomadic groups is patchy and incomplete and seldom permits any secure conclusions regarding the nature and consequences of economic interaction between nomadic and sedentary groups. Ethnog...

Cross-section measurements in the NOMAD experiment

The NOMAD experiment was designed to search for ντ appearance from neutrino oscillations in the CERN wide-band neutrino beam produced by the 450 GeV proton synchrotron. The single-particle reconstruction and lepton identification capability of the NOMAD detector allowed the search for ντ appearance in most of the leptonic and hadronic τ decay channels [1] and also to look for νμ → νe oscillatio...
