Uma Proposta para Redução do Conjunto de Treinamento Utilizando Aprendizagem Ativa
Authors: Brandão Maicon , Acordi Marcelo , Dal Bianco Guilherme
Published: May 2023

Métodos supervisionados são comumente utilizados em inúmeras tarefas como na classificação de informações. Porém, a aprendizagem do método supervisionado depende da criação de um conjunto de treinamento rotulado capaz de representar os padrões presentes na base de dados. Identificar exemplos informativos e representativos pode representar uma redução de custos. Neste contexto, a aprendizagem ativa tem como objetivo selecionar instâncias mais informativas para serem rotuladas a fim de se reduzir o conjunto de treinamento. Este artigo tem como objetivo propor pesos para um algoritmo de aprendizagem ativa para reduzir a quantidade de instâncias selecionadas. Em outras palavras, almeja-se reduzir o impacto do desbalanceamento de classes a partir da utilização de pesos para o método de aprendizagem ativa. Os experimentos preliminares demonstraram que é possível reduzir o tamanho do conjunto rotulado sem impactar na eficácia do método.

Published: May 2023

Atualmente, o grande volume de notícias falsas circulando nas redes sociais é um perigo para a percepção da realidade da sociedade. Técnicas de aprendizado de máquina têm sido úteis para o combate da desinformação, mas para gerar bons resultados necessitam de conjuntos de dados de treinamento balanceados e com boa qualidade. Uma vez que os principais corpus para o treinamento de modelos detecção de notícias falsas disponíveis publicamente estão desatualizados ou desalinhados, neste trabalho foi proposto um enfoque inovador para recuperar as notícias verdadeiras a partir das falsas, e melhorar sua similaridade e alinhamento. Desta forma, foi desenvolvido um conjunto de dados que permite verificar e classificar a informação que consumimos diariamente na rede, por meio de processamento da linguagem natural. Além disso, o corpus resultante foi avaliado utilizando técnicas clássicas de processamento da linguagem natural para a representação de textos, como BoW e BoW TF-IDF, juntamente com vários métodos tradicionais de classificação. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que este conjunto de dados é efetivo para a classificação de notícias, com um f1-score de 0.945 usando um classificador de Multi-layer perceptron. Portanto, este novo corpus configura-se como um recurso valioso na luta contra a desinformação e para melhorar a qualidade da informação disponível online.

Published: May 2023

Motivation donates to a person's desire, need, or urge to perform any action.Motivational orientation defines the reasons working behind the motivation toperform that action or achieve the goal. The study was planned to explore theeffects of motivational orientation on the learning of drawing in students withintellectual disabilities (ID). A stratified random sampling technique was usedto select 200 students with ID (147 male, 53 female) from Lahore Divisionbelonging to the age range 10 to 21 years. The Scale of Intrinsic versusExtrinsic Orientations in the classroom Questionnaire (IEO) developed byHarter (1981) containing 30 items (score 1 describes most extrinsic and score4 describes most intrinsic) was used to identify the motivational orientation ofthe students with ID. Beery VMI 6th.ed (Beery, 2010) containing 24 drawingshapes were administered to explore the learning of drawing skills in thestudents with ID. Both scales were found to be reliable for the given populationas the alpha reliability of IEO and Beery VMI were 0.953 and 0.950respectively. Results obtained by using the statistical techniques of ANOVA,correlation, and regression analysis indicated that ID students with intrinsicmotivation have a significant positive relationship with drawing learningwhereas extrinsic motivation was found to be negatively correlated with thelearning of drawing. It was recommended that intrinsic motivationalorientation should be developed in students with ID so that their learning couldbe enhanced.

Authors: Manik Ewina Efriani
Published: May 2023

This research aims to analyze the implementation of the hidden curriculum on the character building of students at Bunda Hati Kudus Kota Wisata High School. This research uses Thorndike's theory of connectionism which states that learning is a process of interaction between stimuli (can be feelings, thoughts, or behaviors) and responses (which of course also take the form of feelings, thoughts, and movements). Previous research shows that the hidden curriculum emphasizes the formation and development of character in students and character education is part of the hidden curriculum in the learning process in the school environment which is not written directly in the official school curriculum but has a very large contribution in the process of building the character of students. This research aims to analyze strategies to increase understanding and implement ethics at school, at home, and in the community. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques in this study used observation and interviews. The results showed that the implementation of the hidden curriculum at Bunda Hati Kudus Kota Wisata High School has had a positive habituation impact on students in order to achieve the school's established mission, namely cultivating the values of integrity, compassion, competence based on the spirituality value.
¿Fue conciliarista Marsilio de Padua? Reflexiones en torno a la teoría eclesiológica marsiliana
Authors: Morales Muñoz Raúl
Published: May 2023

Este artículo pretende poner de relieve que Marsilio de Padua constituye un autor que no debe insertarse en la corriente conciliarista, salvo que entendamos el conciliarismo en un sentido tan amplio que terminemos tergiversando su significación genuina. Para fundamentar este propósito, se analiza la doctrina eclesiológica de este autor, doctrina que se expone sobre todo en el Defensor Pacis, su obra más célebre y relevante. El principal objetivo que se persigue es mostrar que Marsilio de Padua no sólo no otorga inequívocamente al Concilio el poder supremo en la Iglesia, que es lo que define al conciliarismo, sino que incluso tiene un concepto harto ambiguo de la asamblea conciliar, hasta el extremo de que, en ocasiones, parece que la considera prescindible y que le adjudica un papel más simbólico que efectivo.
Los antecedentes constructivos de la catedral de Sevilla desde la promoción arzobispal (1369-1432)
Authors: Caramazana Malia David José
Published: May 2023

Hasta el momento no se ha valorado en su justa medida la labor desempeñada por el alto clero en los antecedentes constructivos de la catedral de Sevilla, iniciada en el siglo XV. Si bien la historiografía sí se ha detenido en analizar el papel como promotor del Cabildo Catedral hispalense, lo cierto es que esta fortuna crítica de la institución capitular ha oscurecido el decisivo protagonismo y liderazgo que desplegaron algunos arzobispos durante la construcción de la catedral más grande de Europa. En este trabajo analizamos las implicaciones en materia artística de los arzobispos que gobernaron la sede entre los años 1369 y 1432, centrándonos en Pedro Barroso, Gonzalo de Mena, Alonso de Ejea, Diego de Anaya y fray Lope de Olmedo.

Authors:   Faculty, Professional Education Department, Saint Louis University, Baguio City, Philippines, K. Lartec Jane
Published: May 2023

Inclusive education is becoming a worldwide trend and because teacher training institutions play a significant role in ensuring the competence of pre-service education students towards catering the needs of increasing range of diverse learners, it is important to prepare them by shifting the pedagogy in line with inclusive education. This study has been carried out to view the perspective of the 142 student teachers in terms of the effectiveness of the Inclusive Education subject, a onesemester course in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary university in the Philippines that offers training on inclusive education practices to the pre-service education students. Guided by the administration of a validated questionnaire, the student teachers gave their own perspective on the effectiveness of offering the subject along the identified strands on the course objectives, course content, course strategies, the instructor and the goodness of the year level of offering. Findings revealed that the student teachers view the subject as generally very effective across the five strands identified. The results of this study are significant in the improvement of the curriculum and possible dissemination of inclusive education subject to other teacher education institutions.

Glacial geomorphology and Pleistocene glacier reconstruction in the Demänovská Valley, Low Tatra Mountains, Slovakia
Authors: Pyrda Agata
Published: May 2023

In the Western Carpathians, clear evidence of the Pleistocene glaciations only occurs in two mountain massifs – the Tatra and Low Tatra Mountains. The Low Tatra Mountains (2043 m a.s.l.), contrary to the higher and more strongly glaciated Tatra Mountains (2654 m a.s.l.), have previously been much less attractive for scientific research. Hence, in these mountains, both glacial landforms and chronology, together with a detailed reconstruction of glacier geometry and resulted equilibrium line altitude (ELA), are poorly documented. The aim of this paper is to characterize the glacial relief and reconstruction of geometry and ELA of the Zadná voda glacier in the Demänovská Valley system which belongs to the category of the largest Pleistocene glaciers on the northern slope of the Low Tatra Mountains. The mapping results show that a freshly shaped, massive terminal moraine of maximal ice extent (MIE, likely formed during the global Last Glacial Maximum – LGM) occurs 4.3 km distance down-valley from the glacial cirque backwalls. There is no evidence of deposits from older glaciations beyond the terminal moraine down the valley. The terminal zone of the MIE features a fresh morainic landscape with hummocky topography with kettle hollows and the only known morainic lake in the Low Tatra Mountains – Vrbické pleso. During the MIE, the Zadná voda glacier covered 7 km2 of the area and featured a mean thickness of 48 m. The ELA of this glacier was 1433 m, determined by the area-altitude balance ratio (AABR) 1.6 method, which is a similar value to the LGM ELA calculated in the Western Tatra Mountains. The recessional stages were only recognized in the cirques area, where one or two generations of debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers mark the final deglaciation of the study area.
Existence and asymptotic stability for generalized elasticity equation with variable exponent
Authors: Dilmi Mohamed , Otmani Sadok
Published: May 2023

In this paper we propose a new mathematical model describing the deformations of an isotropic nonlinear elastic body with variable exponent in dynamic regime. We assume that the stress tensor \(\sigma^{p(\cdot)}\) has the form \[\sigma^{p(\cdot)}(u)=(2\mu +|d(u)|^{p(\cdot)-2})d(u)+\lambda Tr(d(u)) I_{3},\] where \(u\) is the displacement field, \(\mu\), \(\lambda\) are the given coefficients \(d(\cdot)\) and \(I_{3}\) are the deformation tensor and the unit tensor, respectively. By using the Faedo-Galerkin techniques and a compactness result we prove the existence of the weak solutions, then we study the asymptotic behaviour stability of the solutions.
On local antimagic total labeling of complete graphs amalgamation
Authors: Lau Gee-Choon , Shiu Wai Chee
Published: May 2023

Let \(G = (V,E)\) be a connected simple graph of order \(p\) and size \(q\). A graph \(G\) is called local antimagic (total) if \(G\) admits a local antimagic (total) labeling. A bijection \(g : E \to \{1,2,\ldots,q\}\) is called a local antimagic labeling of $ if for any two adjacent vertices \(u\) and \(v\), we have \(g^+(u) \ne g^+(v)\), where \(g^+(u) = \sum_{e\in E(u)} g(e)\), and \(E(u)\) is the set of edges incident to \(u\). Similarly, a bijection \(f:V(G)\cup E(G)\to \{1,2,\ldots,p+q\}\) is called a local antimagic total labeling of \(G\) if for any two adjacent vertices \(u\) and \(v\), we have \(w_f(u)\ne w_f(v)\), where \(w_f(u) = f(u) + \sum_{e\in E(u)} f(e)\). Thus, any local antimagic (total) labeling induces a proper vertex coloring of \(G\) if vertex \(v\) is assigned the color \(g^+(v)\) (respectively, \(w_f(u)\)). The local antimagic (total) chromatic number, denoted \(\chi_{la}(G)\) (respectively \(\chi_{lat}(G)\)), is the minimum number of induced colors taken over local antimagic (total) labeling of \(G\). In this paper, we determined \(\chi_{lat}(G)\) where \(G\) is the amalgamation ofcomplete graphs. Consequently, we also obtained the local antimagic (total) chromatic number of the disjoint union of complete graphs, and the join of \(K_1\) and amalgamation of complete graphs under various conditions. An application of local antimagic total chromatic number is also given.

A review of open-source image analysis tools for mammalian cell culture: algorithms, features and implementations
Authors: Malik Hafizi , Idris Ahmad Syahrin , Toha Siti Fauziah , Mohd Idris Izyan , Daud Muhammad Fauzi , Azmi Nur Liyana
Published: May 2023

Cell culture is undeniably important for multiple scientific applications, including pharmaceuticals, transplants, and cosmetics. However, cell culture involves multiple manual steps, such as regularly analyzing cell images for their health and morphology. Computer scientists have developed algorithms to automate cell imaging analysis, but they are not widely adopted by biologists, especially those lacking an interactive platform. To address the issue, we compile and review existing open-source cell image processing tools that provide interactive interfaces for management and prediction tasks. We highlight the prediction tools that can detect, segment, and track different mammalian cell morphologies across various image modalities and present a comparison of algorithms and unique features of these tools, whether they work locally or in the cloud. This would guide non-experts to determine which is best suited for their purposes and, developers to acknowledge what is worth further expansion. In addition, we provide a general discussion on potential implementations of the tools for a more extensive scope, which guides the reader to not restrict them to prediction tasks only. Finally, we conclude the article by stating new considerations for the development of interactive cell imaging tools and suggesting new directions for future research.
Assessment of multi-population polygenic risk scores for lipid traits in African Americans
Authors: Drouet Domenica E. , Liu Shiying , Crawford Dana C.
Published: May 2023

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) based on genome-wide discoveries are promising predictors or classifiers of disease development, severity, and/or progression for common clinical outcomes. A major limitation of most risk scores is the paucity of genome-wide discoveries in diverse populations, prompting an emphasis to generate these needed data for trans-population and population-specific PRS construction. Given diverse genome-wide discoveries are just now being completed, there has been little opportunity for PRS to be evaluated in diverse populations independent from the discovery efforts. To fill this gap, we leverage here summary data from a recent genome-wide discovery study of lipid traits (HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol) conducted in diverse populations represented by African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Hawaiians, Native Americans, and others by the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study. We constructed lipid trait PRS using PAGE Study published genetic variants and weights in an independent African American adult patient population linked to de-identified electronic health records and genotypes from the Illumina Metabochip (n = 3,254). Using multi-population lipid trait PRS, we assessed levels of association for their respective lipid traits, clinical outcomes (cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes), and common clinical labs. While none of the multi-population PRS were strongly associated with the tested trait or outcome, PRSLDL-Cwas nominally associated with cardiovascular disease. These data demonstrate the complexity in applying PRS to real-world clinical data even when data from multiple populations are available.
Education and Sustainable Development
Authors: Faustino Anagrolia , Kaur Inderpreet
Published: May 2023

Education has been known as the best tool in the world for developing a human being from darkness to lightness. Different research scholars argue that education can be formal, informal, or non-formal. Apart from that, a better and more tasteful education should bring about changes socially, politically, economically, and culturally. Human beings manage to handle and solve different problems through education. This will also solve the misconception that comes from the other side of the illiterate population about the concept of being educated. This will empower a person with the knowledge to face and develop the environment. Having these skills is what is called education and sustainable development. The study discusses ideas about the goals of education and sustainable development. Learners live on what they have learned from school. The study insists on more consideration being given to practical issues than theory. The study explains sustainable development from three perspectives: economy, society, and environment. Skills make the world satisfied. Education and Sustainable Development (ESD) and satisfying the environment.
Phylogenetic Relationships and Diversity in Leymus (Poaceae, Triticeae) Based on Simple Sequence Repeats Markers
Authors: Zhang Xin-yi , Lei Ying-xia , Yang Rui-wu
Published: May 2023

Aims: The objective of the study was to investigate: (1) the Ns genome donor and elucidate the origins of the Xm genome of Leymus; (2) evaluate the phylogenetic relationships among these species.

Methodology: The CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) procedure was used to extract total genomic DNA from fresh leaf tissue. A total of 150 pairs of SSR primers were tested to screen those produced polymorphic DNA bands to continue further analysis with Elymus species and 13 diploid perennial species as templates. The GS was used to construct a dendrogram via the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) and the SHAN (sequential, hierarchical, agglomerative, and nested clustering) routine in the NTSYS-pc program.

Results: The primers WMC475, WMC11 and QWM213 showed more expansion efficiency in the research. There were significant diversity and polymorphism between Leymus and related diploid Triticeae species based on SSR makers. The largest GS coefficient values between Pse. stipifolia and Elymus hystrix indicates that the genetic distance is the closest and has a closer genetic relationship. In clade I, the Leymus species formed a very wellsupported into a small distinct group (Ia) first. Specifically, L. racemosus, L. salinus, L. secalinus and L. triticoides were clustered closely.

Conclusion: Psathyrostachys juncea, Psa. huanshanica and Psa. fragilis (Ns genome) clustered together into clade I with Leymus species, which further illustrates Leymus that contains Ns genome is more closely related to Psathyrostachys. St genome and J genome did not participate in the origin of Leymus, and the genetic relationship and genetic distance of Leymus species are related to geographical distribution and environment.
Genetic Analysis of Maize Response to Salt Stress in Hydroponic Medium
Authors: Tembo Langa
Published: May 2023

The productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) from the farmers’ fields has been characterized as being low due to salinity among other contributing factors. In this study the use of phenotypic traits as a selection criterion and screening of maize genotypes for tolerance to salt stress was investigated. The objectives of this study were therefore to i) estimate  heritability for genotypic response to root and shoot length ii) ascertain an appropriate genotypic maize screening criterion in saline medium and iii) identify tolerant maize genotypes in hydroponic medium. The experiment was set up as 5 x 11 factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications at the University of Zambia, pathology laboratory. Thus 11 genotypes were evaluated in five doses of salinity concentrations giving 55 experimental units. Genotypes exhibited significant differences (P< 0.05) in response to both parameters (root and shoot length) across salinity concentrations. Similarly the response of root and shoot length in different salinity concentration across genotypes was also significant (P< 0.001). The entry based heritability estimate was found to be 0.76 and 0.18 for responses to root and shoot respectively. Shoot length was identified as a key trait to utilize in screening maize genotypes for tolerance to salt stress under hydroponic conditions despite possessing a low heritability estimate. In this study tolerant genotypes to salt stress were identified as ZHYB 2, ZHYB 7 and ZHYB 11.

The field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2021-22 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of the experiment plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.2), low in organic carbon (0.48%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (13.6 kg/ha) and available K (215.4 kg/ha). The treatments consisted of three levels of Gibberellic acid 50, 100 and 150 ppm of foliar application and (20 g and 10g per kg litre of water) and two levels of Bio fertilizer {Azospirillum seed inoculation (10 and 20 g/kg of seed) and Azotobacter seed inoculation (10 and 20 g/kg of seed)} respectively and Azospirillum + Azotobacter 10 g/kg each gibberellic acid 150 ppm treatment combined. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments and were replicated thrice. Results defined those maximum values of plant height (185.29 cm), dry weight (90.42 g/plant), number of cobs per plant (2.64), cob length (19.76 cm), cob weight with husk (48.54 g/cob) and cob weight without husk (12.51 g/cob) cob yield with husk (11.04 t/ ha), cob yield without husk (4.15 t/ha) were recorded with application of Azotobacter 10g/kg + Azospirillum 10g/kg + Gibberellic acid 150 ppm (T9) treatment combination.
The Role of Mother Goddess Worship in the Spiritual and Cultural Life of People in Lam Dong Province, Vietnam
Authors: Vuong Nguyen Hung , Giau Vo Thi Ngoc
Published: May 2023

The beliefs in Vietnamese Mother Goddesses Worship, commonly called Mother Goddesses, worship Mother Goddesses herself, Mother Goddess of Three Palaces and Four Palaces appear to be quite popular and have deep historical and social origins among the people of Lam Dong province, Vietnam.. Although they are all worship of feminine gods, the worship of goddesses, “Thanh Mau”, “Thanh Co”, Mother of the Three Palaces, and the Four Palaces are not completely identical. This article explores the process of formation, development and typical features of Mother Goddess worship in the cultural life of people in Lam Dong province, Vietnam. Based on the analysis of the actual situation of worshiping Mother Goddesses of the people of Lam Dong, the authors propose a number of policy implications that contribute to preserving the beauty of Mother Goddess worship and promoting the Vietnamese culture of progressive, imbued with beautiful national identity.
Revisiting Quanterness: new AMS dates and stable isotope data from an Orcadian chamber tomb
Authors: Schulting Rick , Sheridan Alison , Crozier Rebecca , Murphy Eileen
Published: May 2023

A total of 20 new AMS radiocarbon determinations on human bone have been obtained for the Neolithic chamber tomb of Quanterness, Orkney. The results show poor agreement with the recorded stratigraphy, suggesting extensive mixing of the chamber deposits. A Bayesian model treating all of the determinations as deriving from a single phase of activity provides a start date in the range 3510 – 3220 cal BC (most probably falling after 3450 cal BC), with the main phase of burial activity ending in the range 2850–2790 cal BC (95.4% probability). This presents a tighter range than previously available, but nevertheless appears to confirm the longevity of burial activity at the monument. Osteologically, there is no convincing evidence for excarnation, and the representation of the small bones of the hands and feet, together with the absence of sub-aerial weathering, make it unlikely that the bulk of the human bone assemblage was brought in from elsewhere, as had previously been suggested. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope measurements average –20.5 ± 0.4‰ and 11.1 ± 0.6‰ respectively, indicating no appreciable consumption of marine protein despite the site’s location less than 1km from the coast. There are tentative but intriguing diachronic trends in both isotopes, with δ13C values decreasing, and δ15N values increasing through time; this could suggest changing farming practices, though the details remain unclear. The dating and the palaeodietary findings are discussed within the context of Middle/Late Neolithic Orkney, emphasising the former’s relevance to debates concerning the origin of Maes Howe-type passage tombs and the appearance of Grooved Ware. The radiocarbon dates support the view that Grooved Ware emerged as a novel pottery tradition in Orkney between c 3300/3200 and c

3100 BC.
Early Historic settlement beneath the Grassmarket in Edinburgh

Published: May 2023

Archaeologically monitored excavations in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh uncovered diverse remains dating from prehistory to the First World War. The stratigraphic sequence included pits created in the middle of the Bronze Age, Early Historic features and deposits, a series of medieval surfaces, a section of the Flodden Wall and post-medieval building foundations. The Early Historic features provide rare evidence for Edinburgh’s development prior to the 12th century and form the focus of this article.

  Several features, created during the Anglian occupation of the Lothians, suggest the presence of a settlement between the late 6th and early 10th centuries AD, overlooked and possibly servicing a high status site on Castle Rock. The evidence is compared to archaeological results from other settlements formerly within the Anglian kingdom of Bernicia (Northumbria).

  Deposits over a structure were radiocarbon dated to the 11th–12th century, when the region was under Scottish control. Associated environmental remains and leather offcuts indicated the holding, butchering and processing of livestock. This evidence pre-dates the documented use of the area as a medieval market and is interpreted as relating to a pre-burghal phase of use.

The significance of the results in terms of our understanding of Edinburgh’s development, and to assessments of archaeological potential in Scottish medieval towns in general, is also discussed.
Urban morphology and medieval burgh development in Edinburgh and Elgin
Authors: Tait Robin
Published: May 2023

Presented here are the results of a study to assess the potential of urban morphology to make a continuing contribution to the understanding of urban development in the Scottish burghs and to provide helpful input to associated archaeological studies. Use is made of recent cartographically based evidence of the high degree of consistency and stability to be found in the configuration of the burgage plots and foreland lines in Scottish burghs.

To do this, four carefully selected aspects of the urban development, one in Edinburgh and three in Elgin, were examined. The two Scottish burghs were selected for their similarity of layout along a single main street, providing a relatively simple urban pattern. For Edinburgh, appropriate morphological information, which is available from earlier studies, is summarised. Similar information for Elgin was compiled as part of this study and the results are set out.

The case is made that urban morphology still has much to offer in the study of Scottish urban history and archaeology. In addition, having reviewed recent archaeological reports, it is suggested that archaeology has great potential to provide a strong contribution to the better understanding of the urban morphology of Scotland.
An early Antonine fort at Mumrills
Authors: Bailey Geoff
Published: May 2023

Accumulated scattered evidence from the defended Roman complexes on the Antonine Wall at Mumrills shows that the early Wall fort occupied the site of the later fort annexe. It is argued that the slight shift in the fort's location arose from a desire to control west/east communications as well as those from the north to the south.
An Iron Age crannog in south-west Scotland: underwater survey and excavation at Loch Arthur
Authors: Henderson Jon , Cavers Graeme
Published: May 2023

As part of the second phase of the South West Crannog Survey, the crannog in Loch Arthur, New Abbey, Dumfries and Galloway, was surveyed and small-scale excavations were carried out on submerged eroding deposits. The crannog was seen to be at threat from erosion for a number of reasons, including insect infestation, aquatic plants and wave action. The eroding deposits were sampled and their ecofactual content analysed and structural timbers from various positions in the crannog mound were radiocarbon dated. The results suggest that the site is a massive packwerk mound that was constructed in the second half of the 1st millennium BC, most likely in one event. After an apparent period of abandonment, the site was reoccupied in the later medieval period.
