Los carcinomas epidermoides de cabeza y cuello son un grupo poco frecuente de neoplasias, en los Estados Unidos representan aproximadamente el 3% de todos los tumores.

El cáncer de cavum se diferencia de otros tumores de cabeza y cuello por su epidemiología, histología, historia natural y respuesta al tratamiento.

Presenta una marcada variación geográfica debido a su etiología multifactorial.

En las áreas endémicas, la incidencia y la mortalidad han disminuido en los últimos 30 años. Esto probablemente se deba a cambios en el estilo de vida y avances en la radioterapia (RT) y quimioterapia (QT) sistémica.
The philosophical import of Pauline work ethics in the quest for Germane Work Ethics in Nigeria
Authors: Ogabo Godwin Adinya , Patrick Francis Terna
Published: December 2022

The importance of work has always been granted throughout human history. This could be seen from creative work of God. Not only did He engage in work himself, He also ordered Adam to earn his bread for himself by his labour. The Bible is replete with God’s teachings concerning work. Among these teachings, Pauline work ethics stand out. That is why this study undertook an examination of the philosophical import of Pauline work ethics in the quest for germane work ethics in Nigeria. Pauline work ethics denotes a concept where human work should be viewed as a righteous function that has been commanded by God right from the fall of man and thereafter. The inevitability of work to man consequently places new and tasking demands on workers in modern society. The study employed the qualitative research design. Data was gathered from primary and secondary sources. The data was analysed using the historical and evaluative tools. The study found out among other things that there has been a massive drift away from Biblical work ethics in contemporary Nigeria. The study recommends that Nigerian workers should adequately peruse the scriptures so as to equip themselves with relevant attitudinal dispositions towards enhancing their attitude to work. The study surmises that work is a good thing for man - a noble thing for his humanity - because through work man not only transforms nature, adapting it to his own needs, but he also cooperates with God’s creative work, making him a co-worker with God. The Nigerian working environment would greatly be improved if workers imbibe the biblical work ethics.
Nigerian Energy Billing in A Deregulated Economy for Self-Reliance And Sustainable Development
Authors: Sambo Abubakar , Zarma I. , Otokpa D
Published: December 2022

Electric energy which is placed on top of the energy stratification and its uses at home, industry, agriculture, and in transport is indispensable. Tariffs are ways in which electric utilities derive their income from customers through effective electricity bills. This paper examines and analyses the energy billing in a deregulated economy in terms of its benefits for sustainable development especially for its capacity in eliminating subsidies, improvement in public financing and sale of assets. It as well shows its improvement of macro performance in generation of energy, transmission and distribution system. Moreover, electric energy and billing are cost effective as well as competitive with improved service to consumers while at the same time encouraging private investment, lower consumers’ tariffs. various tariffs system such as flat demand rate, straight rate, block rate, Hopkinson rate, Doherty rate, Wright rate and further proposed two important tariffs demand rate known as Zarma, and Otokpa demand rate. Recommendations were made and finally conclusion were also made that energy is very sensitive to either remain in the hand of government or private alone. Both have a role to play collectively.
Precision Die Design by The Die Expansion Method
Authors: Ibhadode Akhii
Published: December 2022

A new method for the design of precision dies used in cold forging, extrusion and drawing processes is presented. It is based on die expansion. It attempts to provide a clear-cut theoretical basis for the selection of critical die dimensions for this group of precision dies when the tolerance on product diameter (or thickness) is specified. It also presents a procedure for selecting the minimum-production-cost die from a set of design alternatives. The results show that as external die diameter increases, die expansion decreases while die strength increases. Also, as the degree of die compounding increases, die expansion decreases and die strength increases. Comparison of theoretical and experimental results shows good agreement especially at full die cavity filling stage. Die selection from a set of multi-layer dies is based on the die that has minimum Design Effectiveness Index (DEI) which gives the minimum-production-cost die. It is hoped that the design method, apart from providing solutions to simple design problems, can be applied as a first approximation to the solution of more complex problems, based on a clear-cut theory rather than the usual rule-of-thumb method. Thereafter, more sophisticated computer-based methods may be applied for refinement.
Mathematics, Science, And Cultural Change
Authors: Iyahen Sunday
Published: December 2022

According to Roger Bacon (1214-1294), “Mathematics is the gate and key of the sciences. Neglect of Mathematics works injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or things of this world, and what is worse, men who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance and so do not seek a remedy”. Mathematics enables various branches of science draw implications of their observations and experimental findings. A computer is now an inevitable tool in science; its internal working rests on basic mathematics -arithematic to base2 Mathematics is at the heart of our important scientific theories; Newtonian mechanics, Electromagnetic theory of Maxwell, Einstein’s theory of relativity, quantum theory of Planck etc. Further, vast areas of mathematics grew out of efforts to find solutions to problems in science. We give two examples. The first one is about geometry, also sometimes referred to as the gift of the Nile. The story goes that in the 14th Century B.C., King Sesotris divided the land among Egyptians, each receiving a rectangle of same area, and was taxed accordingly. If anyone lost some of his land during the annual overflow of the Nile, he had to report the loss. An overseer would then be sent to measure the loss and make an abatement of tax. Some sources claim that this is the origin of geometry. The second example is more recent; it is about topology, whose origin is associated with a problem on a bridge. During the 18th century, in the German town of Konigsberg (now the Russian city of Kaliningrad), people enjoyed strolling along the banks of the Preger river, which meandered through the town, and was crossed by seven bridges which ran trom each bank of the river to two islands in the river, with a bridge joining the islands. One question asked is as follows: “How can you take a stroll so that you cross each of the seven bridges exactly once?”. Leonhard Eu!er ( 1707 -1783) converted this problem to one on vertices and networks in a diagram. He made general discoveries about networks, and found that the answer to the Konigsberg bridge problem, is in the negative, namely, that it is impossible to take a stroll so that each of the seven bridges is crossed only once! In the process of obtaining this result, he originated a new kind Of geometry, a geometry which does not depend on the size or shape of the figure, but about places, and how they are connected by arcs. Out of this grew the branch of mathematics called ‘Topology”.
The enhanced photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cell using carbon nanotubes as hole transport material
Authors: Micheal Samuel , Onimisi Mohammed , Owolabi Joshua , Danladi Eli , Oni Mary
Published: December 2022

Perovskite based solar cells have enjoyed rapid and an unprecedented evolution over the past decade. These light-harvesting materials are of huge interest to the academic community in order to make more efficient solar cells which are expected to attain swift commercialization. They have attractive properties, most especially their high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) within few years in comparison to other third generation thin film technologies. In This research work, the effect of incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes as the hole-transport layer on the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells was investigated. UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Surface Profilometer, Raman Spectroscopy and Solar Simulator were used to characterize and study the properties of the prepared cells. The reference cell demonstrated a PCE, current density (Jsc), open circuit voltage (Voc) and fill factor (FF) of 2.82 %, 7.64 mAcm-2, 0.88 V, and 42.00 % respectively. When multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was incorporated, we observed a PCE of 4.30 %, Jsc of 8.47 mAcm-2, Voc of 0.85 V and FF of 60.00 %. The MWCNTs modified device shows an enhancement of 52.48 % in PCE, 10.86 % in Jsc, and 42.86 % in FF over the unmodified device. This is due to improved surface area of MWCNTs by acid treatment in generating functional groups that act as conducting bridge in reducing the contact resistance between individual nanotubes.

The demand for quality science education requires periodic assessment for its improvement especially in areas with previous challenges. This study was conducted to assess the current status of science education in Ekiti State, Southwest Nigeria. A cross-sectional design, combining a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data collection approach, was used following a records review. Schools were selected using a cluster sampling technique. Science education status was ascertained by three parameters: students’ pass rates in science subjects in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination, science teachers’ profile (assessed with a 14-item self-administered questionnaire) and availability and functionality of infrastructure for science education using an observational checklist. In-depth interviews were conducted among relevant stakeholders using an in-depth interview guide. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and a thematic approach respectively. Students’ pass rates were below 50% in Mathematics and Biology but above in Physics, Chemistry and Agricultural Science. The science teacher: student ratio was 1:8 and 37.5% of the teachers were members of the Nigerian Science Teachers Association. One school (8.3%) had a computer library that was adequately equipped. Laboratory facilities were mostly multipurpose in nature. A quarter of the schools had no library while 33.3% had grossly inadequate library facilities. Opinions about science education status among the respondents was widely divergent with some feeling that it was good while others felt otherwise. This study revealed poor status of science education as evidenced by a low science teacher-student ratio and lack of basic infrastructure for science education. Interventions to improve these findings are recommended.
The Battle Against Transboundary Animal Diseases In Nigeria And Some West African Countries
Authors: Obi Timothy
Published: December 2022

The President of the Nigerian Academy of Science, the Chairman of the occasion, distinguished Fellows of the Academy, our Fellows for today's induction, invited guests, gentlemen of the press and media, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to have been chosen to give this lecture. I have chosen this title because in recent years some animal diseases have become increasingly important in terms of their economic or zoonotic impact in Nigeria as well as its neighboring countries. Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) are defined by Food and Agriculture Organization Emergency Prevention System (FAO/EMPRES) as those animal diseases that are of significant economic, trade, and/or food security importance for a considerable number of countries; and which can easily spread to other countries and reach epidemic proportions and where control/management, including exclusion, requires co-operation between several countries. The occurrence of any of these diseases in any country may compromise food security through serious loss of animal protein and/or loss of draught animal power for cropping, may lead to significant production losses in meat, milk, and other livestock products. It may also make it impossible to up-grade the production capacity of indigenous livestock importation breeds through high-producing exotic breeds which are usually highly susceptible to these diseases. The prohibitive cost of control of these diseases increases, very significantly, production costs while TADS in a country may disrupt or inhibit trade in livestock and livestock products and, in effect, adversely affect national export economy. Some transboundary animal diseases such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) or Rift Valley fever are transmissible to humans (zoonosis) and therefore have public health consequences of varying magnitude. Others like Rinderpest may lead to decimation of wildlife population and therefore have environmental impact as well as adversely affect tourism and recreational opportunities for individual countries.
Novel tier reclassification architecture for non–terrestrial data centre systems
Authors: Periola Ayodele
Published: December 2022

Data centres play an important role in hosting and enabling content access in wireless communication networks and computing applications. The use of data centres is accompanied with high operational costs due to the necessity of powering and cooling. In addition, data centres are mostly terrestrial facilities with different performance levels influenced by the data centre tier rating. The need to reduce operational costs has prompted the siting of data centres in non–terrestrial locations such as the ocean and stratosphere with free cooling benefits. The location of future data centres raises new challenges such as reclassifying data centre Tiers. The Tier re-classification challenge should be addressed to identify factors that influence the performance of non-terrestrial data centres. This paper addresses the challenge of designing tier classification architecture for non-terrestrial data centre systems. In this paper, primary and secondary criteria required for the Tier classification of ocean and stratosphere data centres are identified. The proposed tier re–classification architecture is also compared with the Tier 5 data centre standard recently proposed for terrestrial data centres.
Space Technology As Binoculars For Life On Earth In The 21st Century
Authors: Olunloyo Vincent
Published: December 2022

Abstract Man’s romance with Space remains one of the wonders of all ages. In material terms, it has inspired quantum leaps in the technology of flight and transportation; on the metaphysical or spiritual plane our imagery of heaven and hell are both conjured and inspired by space and the myriad balls of fire and dark holes that define and decorate its spacescape. Biblical account of the divine act of creation merely confirms its pre-eminence in man’s thoughts when it says: "And God said, Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night: and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years; And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day; and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good". (Genesis 1:14-18) For it was against the forboding vastness of space and the warmth, and mystery of the beckoning stars that man discovered both his identity and consciousness. Homo Sapien’s early confrontation with nature must, most probably, have been so traumatic and intimidating as to make him seek refuge in the caves to contemplate his frailty and helplessness and in the process fashion out a survival kit. Such a survival kit evolved over just a few millions of years to transform him, not only into a master of his planet, but also in recent times, into a space adventurer. His survival kit was built around two central themes viz:- (a) the need to know himself and everything about anything around him . (b) the use of what he knows to improve and manage his present condition of life on the one hand and predict and plan for the future on the other. After all, physical and scientific or metaphysical explorations and discoveries are predicated in the need to know, whereas innovation and technology merely reflect the ends and use to which man has put what he knows.
A Review of The Dynamical Systems Modeling of Epileptic Seizures For Onset Prediction
Authors: Susu Alfred , Agoola H , Lesi F. , Aribike D.
Published: December 2022

In this review, we present a critical appraisal of works that consider epilepsy as a dynamic disease and therefore presentable from the perspective of dynamic system theory. Epilepsy is an acute brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures where parts of the brain elicit abnormally synchronous electrical activity. The most commonly encountered forms of epilepsy are generalized absence epilepsy and temporal lobe epilepsy. The electroencephalography (EEG) which is the recording of the fluctuating electric field of the brain is the major clinical diagnostic tool for epilepsy and also a vital source of data for epilepsy research. In majority of cases accurate diagnosis of the disease can be made and seizures are controlled by the regular use of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). However, approximately 30% of epileptic patients suffer from medically refractory epilepsy which has defied all existing treatment protocols. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these forms of epileptic seizures and the development of alternative effective treatment strategies is a fundamental challenge in modern epilepsy research. Experimental researches show that the mechanisms involved in refractory epilepsy are so diverse and complex that it is a formidable task to obtain a single framework that categorizes all the pathophysiological changes in the properties of the epileptic brain involved. There has evolved massive evidence that seizures do not occur abruptly as it has been earlier thought but develop over time even hours before the clinical symptoms, thus raising the hope for predictability of epileptic seizure occurrence. Thus, models of the epileptic brain can be postulated using concepts from deterministic and nondeterministic dynamical systems modelling. The main idea is that since the epileptic brain transitions into and out of seizures we can view it as a dynamical system. The deterministic and non-deterministic models are based on seizure onset detection algorithm for the design of a closed loop seizure warning/intervention system. The major focus being the stimulation of the epileptic brain by sending electrical pulses to it in order to disrupt seizure progression once its onset has been detected. Finally, we considered the essential issues in epileptic seizure prediction including the sceptism expressed in recent publications on the validity of nonlinear dynamical systems modelling to epileptic seizure prediction.

Authors: Rubel Mohammad Rabiul Basher , Rimi Nadia Newaz
Published: December 2022

This study aims to investigate how the three aspects of business sustainability performance—economic, environmental, and social performance—are impacted by the five components of green supply chain management (GSCM). Eco-design, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green marketing and internal environment management are the five areas of GSCM that this study addresses. Using cross-sectional survey data gathered from green ready- made garment (RMG) firms in Bangladesh, a research model was developed and tested by applying structural equation modeling. GSCM is positively related to three components of sustainable performance. The outcomes are critical in demonstrating the value of GSCM in enhancing the sustainable performance of green manufacturing businesses like RMG in Bangladesh.
Factors Affecting Entrepreneurship Development: A Study on the Online Retailing Business in Bangladesh.
Authors: Hossain Razib
Published: December 2022

This paper aimed to explore the factors affecting entrepreneurship development in the online retailing business in Bangladesh. The study was conducted on a sample of 78 business owners who start and run online stores. It has used a quantitative research approach to discover the factors. According to the findings of this study, factors such as confidence, risk tolerance, and the need for independence are important but insufficient. The results show that the need for independence and confidence has a vigorous effect on starting businesses in the e-retailing sector. Other factors like risk tolerance, need for achievement, market economic trends, and attitude towards entrepreneurial behavior strongly affect the development of an entrepreneurial mindset in dot-com retailing in Bangladesh. The ability to make professional connections, gain family support, and gain entrepreneurial education have a few positive effects. E-retailers do not have adequate opportunities to access entrepreneurial education. The ability to build professional connections also needs to improve.
Impacts of Bank Specific and Macroeconomic Determinants on Bank Liquidity: Empirical Evidence from Bangladesh.
Authors: Amir Md. Khaled Bin
Published: December 2022

This study endeavors to determine the determinants that have an influence on bank liquidity over the tenure from 2008 to 2018. To achieve this purpose, some internal and external factors are identified and divided into bank-specific and macroeconomic determinants, respectively. Bank liquidity is measured as a function of bank-specific and macroeconomic factors using prominent liquidity indicators such as current ratio. Using multiple regression analysis, the results show that return on assets, non-performing loan, debt to assets ratio, and capital adequacy ratio have a significant impact on bank liquidity. However, macroeconomic factors such as annual gross domestic product growth rate, annual inflation rate, and annual unemployment rate have no significant impact separately on bank liquidity, but they have a unified impact on bank liquidity as they are non-diversified factors. So, the bank management body should concern mostly with internal determinants than external factors to maintain liquidity balance. Because internal factors are controllable but macroeconomic factors are equally influential for every banking institution and, they are non-diversifiable in nature. So, the results suggest that concern return on assets, non-performing loan, debt to asset ratio, and capital adequacy ratio will help improve liquidity management.
Electro-Hydraulic Load-Sensitive Simulation Study of Walking Hy-draulic System of Electric Agricultural Machinery
Authors: MU Hongyun , LUO Yanlei , LUO Yu
Published: December 2022

The conventional load-sensitive hydraulic drive chassis system for agricultural machinery uses a combination of engine and load-sensitive pump, which cannot adjust the control strategy according to the working conditions. It does not meet the current trend of energy-saving and emission reduction. To this end, an electro-hydraulic load-sensitive hydraulic drive chassis system for agricultural machinery, which uses a combination of permanent magnet synchronous motor and quantitative pump, is proposed. A variable LS differential pressure control and a variable differential pressure control of the pressure compensation valve to improve agricultural machinery's working performance are proposed. AMESim is used to establish the system simulation model to obtain the system composite motion, variable LS differential pressure control, and variable pressure differential control of the pressure compensation valve performance. The simulation results show that the system achieves the essential functions of a conventional load-sensitive system. The variable LS differential pressure control and the variable pressure differential control of the pressure compensation valve are feasible. They can effectively improve the performance of agricultural machinery to adapt to working conditions. It can effectively reduce the system energy consumption and provide a theoretical basis for the intellectualization of electric agricultural machinery.
Experimental Investigation of Thermal and Humidity Dynamics in the Enclosures Made of Non-Permeable Walls

Published: December 2022

The usage of electronics in outdoor environment is growing therefore the control of moisture related failures in electronics are becoming more important. The main cause of these failures is the humidity inside electronics which may condense on the surfaces or components. To protect electronics from harsh environment, the components and electronics are encapsulated by using electronics enclosures, however it does not prevent from moisture ingress through plastic walls, gaskets, cable feedthroughs and etc. Thus, to control the humidity, it is very important to understand the humidity ingress and behaviour in the electronics enclosures. Hence, the paper concerns the study of temperature and moisture dynamics when electronics enclosure is exposed to a cyclic temperature condition according to MIL-STD-810F. Two different enclosures were selected for the experiment, namely, aluminum enclosure and glass jar. The study was carried out in a climatic chamber and the measurements of temperature and relative humidity were performed using sensors. Different effect of enclosure material was considered for humidity ingress. In aluminum enclosure, results showed that the temperature difference between different points are smaller than in case of glass jar. Different temperatures in enclosures are determined by different boundary conditions outside the enclosure caused by the climatic chamber.
Anthropozän?
Authors: Muñoz Morcillo Jesús
Published: December 2022

The causes of climate change and biodiversity loss are rooted in cultural habits and aesthetics that have not been challenged for centuries. Identifying and challenging them will help to warn the world about cultural practices that may be leading to planetary catastrophe.
This introduction to Anthropocene discourse delves into the cultural history of ecology, asking both about the invention of nature in words and images and about the human being (Anthropos) who poses ecological questions. A critique of colonialism, neo-materialist thinking and the role of ecocritical image analysis are central to an examination of these issues.

Adjusting Tech Company Financial Statements When Applying the Value Driver Formula
Authors: Neuzil David , Thompson Joseph
Published: December 2022

This article follows the authors' article in Business Valuation Review (November 2020) that explored typical errors when capitalizing cash flows in the terminal period of the Discounted Cash Flow Method. Since investments related to intangible assets are often expensed immediately through the income statement under generally accepted accounting principles, the article demonstrated that without significant adjustment, the value driver formula would likely overstate the net reinvestment into fixed assets and working capital when calculating the terminal value and understate the value of the company. This article provides examples of the types of adjustments necessary to calculate an economically internally consistent terminal value when applying the value driver formula to a subject company that derives significant value from intangible assets. This article also provides an example analysis using a real-world transaction to illustrate the necessary adjustments to expensed investments (e.g., research and development) when applying the value driver formula to Oracle's acquisition of NetSuite.

A vezetők felkészítésének rendszere a köznevelésben
Authors: Vereckei Judit , Benedek András
Published: December 2022

A tanulmányban neveléstudományi aspektusból rendszerező áttekintésre kerülnek azok a képzések, melyek Magyarországon a köznevelés területén az intézményvezetők felkészítését szolgálják. A tanulmányban az oktatás és a köznevelés kifejezés alatt a szerzők azt a rendszert értik, melyet a köznevelésről szóló 2011. évi CXC., valamint a szakképzésről szóló 2019. LXXX. évi törvény hozott létre: azaz a szakképzésnek a köznevelésből történő kiválásával létrejött nevelési-oktatási intézményrendszert: tehát az óvodát, az általános és középfokú iskolát (gimnáziumot, szakgimnáziumot, szakiskolát), a művészeti iskolát, valamint a kollégiumot. A képzések alapvető tartalmi megfelelőségét is elemzi az írás, azaz azt, hogy van-e összhang a vezetői tevékenységcsoportok és a képzés által kínált ismeretkörök között. Mivel az oktatás vezetőképzési rendszerében a vezetői feladatra való felkészítés mellett a fejlesztési célú képzések csak rendkívül alacsony számban vannak jelen, a tanulmány azzal a felvetéssel zárul, hogy időszerű kidolgozni egy olyan koncepciót, melyben a felkészítés, a fejlesztés, illetve a vezetői ellenőrzésre való felkészülés egy komplex vezetőfejlesztési modellben kapcsolódik össze.

This study is based on stratigraphical descriptions, radiocarbon dates and pollen records obtained in connection with three archaeological excavations ( Sømme III, Einargården and Sola Airport ). The combined data are used to infer local sediment distributions in a transect between the study sites ( approx. -5 to 10 m.a. s. l. ) and subsequently to infer landscape dynamics over the last 8000 years in the Sømmevågen area, southwestern Norway. The stratigraphy and the analyses show that natural processes dominated the environmental impact until c. 500 BC, after which, human activities related to an expanding agrarian society seemingly became a more important factor. The inferred landscape development provides an example on how human/ nature interactions can change over time and how on-site stratigraphical analyses can contribute to the understanding of archaeological sites and their surroundings.

This paper offers a descriptive overview and main trends of pollen and macrofossil data obtained from 19 archaeological sites in Rogaland, SW Norway, excavated between 1998 and 2018. The dataset covers the period from late Neolithic until the Middle Ages. Pros and cons of the two botanical methods are discussed, concluding that there are clear advantages in joint application as there are significant differences in their statement value. Pollen and charred plant macrofossils function as complementary variables as they represent different biological stages of the same plant species, and because of differences in dispersal mechanisms and preservation in aerobic soils. The greater possibility to identify macrofossils of cereals and weeds to species and sub-species level is a strong advantage. By including pollen analysis, one achieves a higher total biodiversity, and by that the reflection of a wider environmental spectrum giving room for the inclusion of new issues in archaeological research.

Relatively little charcoal analysis has been conducted in western Norway, despite its considerable potential to contribute to the interpretation of archaeological sites. This is especially relevant in the case of ironworking and other industries which require large amounts of fuel. In 2018 excavations in Sandeid, Vindafjord k. revealed the largest ironworking site so far investigated on cultivated land in Rogaland. The site included slag pits, a possible forge furnace, midden deposits, and a building with a sunken floor ; all dated to the Roman Iron Age. Charcoal-rich structures were sampled to investigate their function as well as to contribute to wider discussions of fuel use, forest management and vegetation history. Here we present the results of this analysis and discuss the potential of charcoal analysis to contribute to the interpretation of ironworking sites in Norway.
