Coins in Context: Local Economy, Value and Practice on the East African Swahili Coast
Coinage occupies an unusual position in archaeological research. Thriving scholarship on numismatics and monetary history ensures that the objects themselves are well-studied, often seen as an indication of chronology and of stylistic and commercial links. Yet coins might also be analysed as artefacts, and explored as part of the symbolic world of material culture through which archaeologists u...
متن کامل6 Thucydides ' Criticism of Democratic Knowledge Josiah
I BEGIN WITH A QUANDARY that is very familiar to Martin Ostwald: Classical Athens saw the invention of both democracy and political theory, yet while we have a number of examples of criticism of democracy, no systematic defense of democracy-no democratic theory-survives from an Athenian pen. I propose that the conundrum is best explained by assuming that from the late fifth through the late fou...
متن کاملPreserving Architectural Knowledge Through Domain-Specific Modeling
We investigate the feasibility of applying the principles of domain-specific modeling to the problem of capturing and preservation architectural modeling knowledge. The proposed solution is based on the existing architecture assessment methods, rather than architecture modeling ones, and it uses sequences of design decisions, rather than simple, unordered sets. We highlight how architecture-bas...
متن کاملVisibility-preserving convexifications using single-vertex moves
Devadoss asked: (1) can every polygon be convexified so that no internal visibility (between vertices) is lost in the process? Moreover, (2) does such a convexification exist, in which exactly one vertex is moved at a time (that is, using single-vertex moves)? We prove the redundancy of the " single-vertex moves " condition: an affirmative answer to (1) implies an affirmative answer to (2). Sin...
متن کاملAre Caecilians Rare? an East African Perspective
Despite increasing reports to the contrary, caecilians are often considered to be unusual components of tropical ecosystems, where they predate largely on soil ecosystem engineers. The status of two East African Boulengerula species is assessed using a quantitative randomised survey method and timed searches, in low-intensity agriculture and natural forested settings. Mean density of B. bouleng...
