The effect of depth and sediment type on the spatial distribution of shallow so...

The present study provides updated information on amphipod assemblages of the southern Portuguese coast, the most south-western part of continental Europe. The influence of depth and sediment type on the spatial distribution of shallow soft-bottom amphipods was tested by means of univariate and multivariate methods. Samples were collected down to 40 m depth within areas ranging from very fine sand to gravel. Th...

It also intends to be a contribution to the revision of established paradigms of disaster analysis, emphasizing the importance of social cartograp...

Chaînes opératoires and resource-exploitation strategies in chimpanzee (Pan tro...

We apply archaeological methods to extend our knowledge of chimpanzee material culture. The chaîne opératoire conceptual framework, as introduced by ethnography, established technology as a phased process. Prehistoric archaeology adopted this concept to elucidate technological variability in tool-making procedures, based on knowledge of tool functions or subsistence patterns. We focused on the detection of oper...
