paleolithic lithic assemblages are traditionally described on the bases of presence of a variety of tool types(typology) and of different knapping technologies. in this study we tried to investigate whether the presence ofdifferent groups of scrapers in the mar-tarik site assigned to the middle paleolithic represent specific function orjust different stages of the reduction process and constant...

The beginning of the Lycian text TL 45 is restored with usual topicalization direct object, but verb not appearing until line 3. content sentence does corre-spond to first Greek version. In this version, title and names archonts Hieron Apollodotos, known from contemporary trilingual Letöon inscrip-tion (N 320), are in lines 6-7. 11-12 a version theonym Trbbãmara may be restored. 45B revised and...

In semiarid climates, a significant component of recharge to basin aquifers occurs along the mountain front. Traditionally called “mountain-front recharge” (MFR), this process has been treated by modelers of basins as a boundary condition. In general, mountain-front recharge estimates are based on the general precipitation characteristics of the mountain (as estimated, e.g., by the chloride mas...

It has long been argued that mountains have an effect on wars. While some research understands this chiefly in physical terms, other research looks at the effect that mountains have on human nature. This article will look at the two thousand year history of the term ‘mountain people.’ It will explore how the belief has emerged that living in mountainous regions changes people to the degree that...

Management of multi-casualty incidents in mountain rescue. High Alt Med Biol. 00:000-000, 2018. INTRODUCTION Multi-Casualty Incidents (MCI) occur in mountain areas. Little is known about the incidence and character of ...

BACKGROUND Altitude illness results from hypobaric hypoxia at altitudes higher than 2500 meters above sea level. To determine whether vital signs can be used as predictors for severe acute mountain sickness, we carried out a prospective observational study. METHODS A cohort of 90 individuals (male/female ratio: 2; age: 13 - 65 years) in a mountain hotel's clinic at 3450 meters in Iran were st...

allochthonous masses are common structures in zagros fold-thrust belt. they are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. however, large allochthonous masses mapped in dowgonbadan area in dezful embayment near the mountain front fault (mff) of zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

Natural hybridisation and subsequent introgression mediate the transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from native mountain hares (Lepus timidus) to introduced brown hares (L. europaeus). We investigated mtDNA Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism among 62 Scandinavian mountain hares, 20 brown hares with mountain hare mtDNA and 19 presumed hybrids from 57 localities in Sweden and Norway. A...
