The appearance of Beaker pottery in Britain and Ireland during the twenty-fifth century bc marks a significant archaeological horizon, being synchronous with first metal artefacts. adoption arsenical copper, mostly from Ireland, was followed by that tin-bronze around 2200 . However, whilst copper mine Ross Island is securely dated to Early Bronze Age, further such mines UK have been Middle evid...

We are building an analytical data warehouse for linguistic data – primarily lexicons and phonological data – for languages in the Asia-Pacific region. This paper briefly outlines the project, making the point that the need for improved technology for endangered and low-density language data extends well beyond completion of fieldwork. We suggest that shared task evaluation challenges (STECs) a...

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to offer this small piece of research in honour of Joe Cribb’s retirement from the British Museum. Joe’s past contributions to Indian numismatics are well-known and it is fitting that they be honoured. But I expect there is a lot more to come. This retirement could be a great gain for numismatic research as Joe will now have more time to publish his large b...

Improving microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Ni-Co-Bronze composites is crucial for various applications. In this study, five (CuSn) + XTiC (0, 3, 7, 10, 15 wt.%) were produced by using the hot pressing method. The effect TiC reinforcement rate on each their microstructure, wear, hardness, was investigated. Within scope microstructure analysis, scanning electron microscope (...
