years in applying the theoretical and methodological tenets of Darwinian evolutionary theory to the archaeological record (e.g., Barton and Clark 1997; Dunnell 1980; Lipo et al. 1997, 2005; Lyman and O’Brien 1998; Neiman 1995; O’Brien 1996; O’Brien and Lyman 2000, 2002, 2003a; Shennan 2002; Shennan and Wilkinson 2001). One of the key theoretical tenets of any theory of Darwinian evolution, be it biological or cultural, is inheritance: “Any variation which is not inherited is unimportant for us” (Darwin 1859:75). In cultural evolution (Boyd and Richerson 1985; Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman 1981; Mesoudi et al. 2004, 2006; Richerson and Boyd 2005), inheritance takes the form of cultural transmission, the process THE CULTURAL TRANSMISSION OF GREAT BASIN PROJECTILEPOINT TECHNOLOGY I: AN EXPERIMENTAL SIMULATION

is how to explain spatial and temporal patterns observed in the archaeological record. Why is a particular artifact found in one region but not in another region? Why does an artifact type differ in shape or size between two sites? Why do some artifacts change rapidly, whereas others remain stable over long periods of time?

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Sediment Distribution and Transmission in Pre-Sedimentation basins Using FV Method and Comparison with the Experimental Results
Pre-sedimentation basins are among the most important elements of the conventional water treatment process. In pre-sedimentation basins, due to different velocity gradients, secondary and rotational flows are formed that will create short paths and increase dead and still flow zones as well as changes in the flow mixing. This will prevent laminar flow conditions for sedimentation and will reduc...

Investigating Pareto Front Extreme Policies Using Semi-distributed Simulation Model for Great Karun River Basin
This study aims to investigate the different management policies of multi-reservoir systems and their impact on the demand supply and hydropower generation in Great Karun River basin. For this purpose, the semi-distributed simulation-optimization model of the Great Karun River basin is developed. Also, the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to optimize the develop...
