Published: July 2018

Abstract. Chemical and dynamical drivers of trends in tropical total-column ozone (TCO3) for the recent past and future periods are explored using the UM-UKCA (Unified Model HadGEM3-A (Hewitt et al., 2011) coupled with the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol scheme) chemistry–climate model. A transient 1960–2100 simulation is analysed which follows the representative concentration pathway 6.0 (RCP6.0) emissions scenario for the future. Tropical averaged (10° S–10° N) TCO3 values decrease from the 1970s, reach a minimum around 2000 and return to their 1980 values around 2040, consistent with the use and emission of halogenated ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), and their later controls under the Montreal Protocol. However, when the ozone column is subdivided into three partial columns (PCO3) that cover the upper stratosphere (PCO3US), lower stratosphere (PCO3LS) and troposphere (PCO3T), significant differences in the temporal behaviour of the partial columns are seen. Modelled PCO3T values under the RCP6.0 emissions scenario increase from 1960 to 2000 before remaining approximately constant throughout the 21st century. PCO3LS values decrease rapidly from 1960 to 2000 and remain constant from 2000 to 2050, before gradually decreasing further from 2050 to 2100 and never returning to their 1980s values. In contrast, PCO3US values decrease from 1960 to 2000, before increasing rapidly throughout the 21st century and returning to 1980s values by  ∼  2020, and reach significantly higher values by 2100. Using a series of idealised UM-UKCA time-slice simulations with concentrations of well-mixed greenhouse gases (GHGs) and halogenated ODS species set to either year 2000 or 2100 levels, we examine the main processes that drive the PCO3 responses in the three regions and assess how these processes change under different emission scenarios. Finally, we present a simple, linearised model to describe the future evolution of tropical stratospheric column ozone values based on terms representing time-dependent abundances of GHG and halogenated ODS.
In-depth characterization of diazotroph activity across the western tropical South Pacific hotspot of N2 fixation (OUTPACE cruise)

Published: July 2018

Abstract. Here we report N2 fixation rates from a ∼ 4000 km transect
in the western and central tropical South Pacific, a particularly
undersampled region in the world ocean. Water samples were collected in the
euphotic layer along a west to east transect from 160∘ E to
160∘ W that covered contrasting trophic regimes, from oligotrophy in
the Melanesian archipelago (MA) waters to ultra-oligotrophy in the South
Pacific Gyre (GY) waters. N2 fixation was detected at all 17
sampled stations with an average depth-integrated rate of
631 ± 286 µmolNm-2d-1 (range
196–1153 µmolNm-2d-1) in MA waters and of
85 ± 79 µmolNm-2d-1 (range
18–172 µmolNm-2d-1) in GY waters. Two cyanobacteria,
the larger colonial filamentous Trichodesmium and the smaller
UCYN-B, dominated the enumerated diazotroph community (> 80 %) and gene
expression of the nifH gene (cDNA > 105 nifH copies
L−1) in MA waters. Single-cell isotopic analyses performed by nanoscale
secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS) at selected stations revealed
that Trichodesmium was always the major contributor to N2
fixation in MA waters, accounting for 47.1–83.8 % of bulk N2
fixation. The most plausible environmental factors explaining such
exceptionally high rates of N2 fixation in MA waters are discussed
in detail, emphasizing the role of macro- and micro-nutrient (e.g., iron)
availability, seawater temperature and currents.
Grazing increases litter decomposition rate but decreases nitrogen release rate in an alpine meadow
Authors: Sun Yi , He Xiong Z. , Hou Fujiang , Wang Zhaofeng , Chang Shenghua
Published: July 2018

Abstract. Litter decomposition and N release are the key processes that strongly
determine the nutrient cycling at the soil–plant interface; however, how
these processes are affected by grazing or grazing exclusion in the alpine
grassland ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is poorly
understood. So far few studies have simultaneously investigated the influence
of both litter quality and incubation site on litter decomposition and N
release. Moreover, previous studies on the QTP investigating how grazing
exclusion influences plant abundance and biodiversity usually lasted for many
years, and the short-term effects have rarely been reported. This work
studied the short-term (6 months) effects of grazing and grazing exclusion on
plant community composition (i.e., plant species presented) and litter
quality and long-term (27–33 months) effects on soil chemical
characteristics and mixed litter decomposition and N release on the QTP. Our
results demonstrate that (1) shorter-term grazing exclusion had no effect on
plant community composition but increased plant palatability and total litter
biomass; (2) grazing resulted in higher N and C content in litter; and (3) grazing
accelerated litter decomposition, while grazing exclusion promoted N
release from litter and increased soil organic carbon. In addition,
incubation site had significantly more impact than litter quality on
litter decomposition and N release, while litter quality affected
decomposition in the early stages. This study provides insights into the
mechanisms behind the nutrient cycling in alpine ecosystems. We suggest that
periodic grazing and grazing exclusion is beneficial in grassland management
on the QTP.

La generación 1.5 de inmigrantes en España ¿La crisis de empleo les ha afectado igual que a la primera generación?
Authors: Albert F. Arcarons
Published: July 2018

Este artículo se centra en los inmigrantes de generación 1.5, es decir, aquellos que emigraron con 12 años o menos. Usando datos de la EPA, analizamos la probabilidad de estar desempleado durante la reciente crisis económica. Los análisis indican que los 1.5 tienen un mayor riesgo de no trabajar en comparación con el resto de inmigrantes y autóctonos, aunque la brecha queda parcialmente explicada por algunas características socio-demográficas. Lo importante radica en que, conforme transcurre el tiempo, logran invertir su desventaja con respecto a la primera generación e igualarse con los españoles. Los resultados apuntan a que los 1.5 tardan más tiempo en comenzar a trabajar, pero lo compensan consiguiendo buenos empleos. Esta estrategia resulta en que la antigüedad laboral vaya acompañada de una mayor protección, rendimiento del que la primera generación se ve privada.
El desempleo y la probabilidad de caer en trampas de pobreza consideraciones para países en vías de desarrollo
Authors: Andrade Rosas Luis Antonio , Jiménez-Bandala Carlos Alberto
Published: July 2018

Los resultados del combate a la pobreza han sido poco significativos respecto al esfuerzo mundial de los últimos treinta años; algunos rubros incluso muestran estancamiento, por lo que se puede suponer la existencia de una trampa de pobreza que impide que los países pobres encuentren el big push. A partir del concepto de Myrdal de causación circular acumulativa, en este trabajo se propone un modelo econométrico para calcular las probabilidades que tienen los países en vías de desarrollo de caer en una trampa de pobreza. Los resultados muestran que hay una correlación significativa positiva entre el nivel de desempleo y la probabilidad de caer en una trampa de pobreza, y con ello se concluye que la no movilidad intergeneracional y la persistencia de la pobreza están asociadas fuertemente al desempleo.
Metáforas de linealidad, género y fascismo español. Una propuesta de análisis socio-metafórico
Authors: Zira Box
Published: July 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la utilidad de las metáforas para las ciencias sociales. Constatado el escaso interés que su estudio ha suscitado dentro de estas disciplinas, se proponen algunas pistas para profundizar en el enfoque socio-metafórico, aplicándolo al caso de la cultura política falangista de los años de la Guerra Civil e inmediata posguerra. De forma específica, este texto pretende indagar en el significado de las recurrentes expresiones metafóricas relativas a la rectitud, firmeza y linealidad de España, concluyendo que su estudio nos conduce a un entendimiento más amplio de lo que fue el fascismo español en relación a la construcción de su discurso nacionalista y, de manera concreta, a su concepción sobre lo masculino y lo femenino.
¿Hacia la "desfamiliarización" del cuidado predilecto? Un análisis del contexto español (1997-2009)
Authors: Celia Fernández-Carro
Published: July 2018

Se ha afirmado que en España se «prefiere» el cuidado informal debido a que esa es la forma de apoyo mayoritaria. Sin embargo, ¿se escogería como primera opción en términos ideales? Utilizando tres encuestas del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (1997, 2001 y 2009), este trabajo analiza la evolución reciente de las preferencias de la población española por tres tipos de apoyo; informal, basado en cuidadores familiares, formal, de servicios públicos y privados, o mixto, que combine los dos anteriores, así como la evolución de las características sociodemográficas de las personas que optarían por cada uno de ellos.

Los resultados sugieren que, aunque la preferencia de la familia como cuidadora sigue siendo mayoritaria, la preferencia por formas de cuidado formales ha crecido sustancialmente en las últimas décadas.
Absolute Position and Energy
Authors: Brodet Eyal
Published: July 2018

In this paper we will develop further the absolute position of a particle defined in (1), (2) which involves the particle's decay time or when relevant internal time and the particle's velocity with respect to the expanding universe. We will refine the previous definition to give two separate absolute position definitions, one termed the absolute position at rest and the other termed the absolute position which includes also a contribution of the particle's velocity with respect to the velocity of the expanding universe. Next we will discuss how we may define the particle's absolute energy from the particle's absolute position definition. We will show, how the absolute energy definition may help us to identify a dependence between the particle's decay time, as measured in its rest frame, and its velocity with respect to the expanding universe. Consequently, we will relate the above to the particle's mean lifetime and discuss the affect and relationship of the running coupling constant and the possible mean lifetime dependence on velocity. Finally, experimental ways by which one may investigate and test the above are presented.
A Classical Mechanism for Shor's Algorithm Implementations
Authors: Selke David L.
Published: July 2018

Loops that enforce a correct output and that restart with a changed parameter may emulate a brute force search, even against the design intent. A Python program is presented analogous to Shor's Algorithm but with random number generation replacing the math. It factors integers. Shor's Algorithm devices may operate similarly to the Python program, not in being random, but in being classical.

Published: July 2018

Many adolescent girls start sexual activity early which exposes them to health risks of HIV and unplanned pregnancies. However, adolescent girls are less likely than boys to initiate discussion or demand use of condoms. Multiple sexual partnerships among girls are reported to be on the rise with eminent transactional sex and pre-marital relationships. The unmet need for contraception among adolescent girls is also high. A cross-sectional survey covering 16 districts in Uganda assessed the socio-cognitive factors associated with condom use, multiple sexual partnerships and contraception use among sexually active adolescent girls (N=255). There were strong associations between feeling confident to discuss contraceptive methods with a partner (OR = 9.41, 95 % CI = 3.54, 25.06), being comfortable to use contraception (OR = 30.61, 95% CI = 4.10, 228.64), discussing contraception use with someone (OR = 10.53, 95% CI = 5.61, 19.78), and contraception use. Whereas knowledge was found to have no significant relationship with service uptake, information services remain important in clearing any misconceptions and addressing any health concerns. It is imperative to explore communication factors including skills development and providing adequate health information to guide dialogue among adolescents and their key influencers.
The Announcement Effect of Open-Market Share Buybacks: The Case for European Firms
Authors: Gupta Jyoti , Wagner Florian
Published: July 2018

Using a comprehensive sample of 1830 open-market repurchases of 15 European countries encompassing the period from 1998 until 2013, we analyzed the magnitude and determinants of the share price reaction on announcement. Our results indicate that buyback announcements in Europe lead on average to a significantly positive abnormal return of 0.92% on announcement day, however, decreasing in firm size and announcement frequency. Additionally, our findings show that the market does not particularly greet the distribution of excess cash to shareholders, but rather when companies take advantage of undervalued stock as market-to-book values are inversely related to announcement returns. Looking at the companies’ leverage ratios, the motive of capital structure optimization cannot be supported by the empirical findings. Lastly, with respect to managerial market timing ability we could not observe that buybacks are following a period of share price underperformance, concluding that managers are not able to time the implementation of buyback programs.
Techno-economic Analysis (TEA) of Extruded Aquafeeds
Authors: Suleiman Rashid , Rosentrater Kurt
Published: July 2018

The worldwide decline and overexploitation of ocean fisheries stocks had provided an incentive for the rapid growth of aquaculture. The aquaculture industry has been recognized as the fastest-growing food production system globally, with a 10% increase in production per year and is one of the most reliable and sustainable growth markets for manufactured feeds. Extrusion technology has been extensively used in the modern aquatic feed manufacturing, due to nutritional, physical properties improvements and cost effectiveness of feeds. Cost related to aquatic feed remains the biggest challenge, especially for small-scale producers. In order to understand costs and potential breakeven points, a single screw extruder and three different production scenarios (0.2, 2 and 20 t/day) throughput were used to develop techno-economic models for small-scale producers of extruded aquatic feeds. The results show annualized capital costs decreased as production capacity increased. Thus, aquatic feed producers could use this tool to evaluate annual costs and benefits to determine processing economics. Producers will have to consider the ingredients used, though, as raw ingredients constitute the greatest cost for the production of feeds.
Evaluation of Protein Nutritional Quality of Four Soybean Varieties Grown in Western Kenya
Authors: Agengo Fredrick , Serrem Charlotte , Wamunga Florence
Published: July 2018

Protein nutrition is important for human health because its deficiency leads to major public health problems such as Protein Energy Malnutrition. Soybean an excellent and cheap source of high quality protein has been introduced into the Western Kenya and other developing countries for improved health and food security, but end use qualities may reduce its utilization. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the protein nutritional quality of four soybean varieties grown in Western Kenya. Protein quality was determined using male weanling albino rats for the indices of net protein retention, food efficiency, apparent and true protein digestibilities and faecal weight. Soybean amino acid efficiency was evaluated using Protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS). Soybean diet SB 132 had the highest protein nutritional quality with the best protein retention of 6.29 g, Apparent Protein digestibility of 89.13%, True Protein Digestibility of 96.48%, weight gain of 5.50 g and a Net Protein Retention Ratio of 4.70. All the four soybean varieties had high amino acid profiles with a Protein digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score of 1.0. Soybean variety SB 132 is the most superior in digestibility and the study recommends its promotion as a food crop in Western Kenya and other developing countries for the management of Protein Energy Malnutrition and for food security.
El rol de la etnicidad en amistades adolescentes
Authors: Konya Hanna Edit
Published: July 2018

Las teorías de contacto sugieren, que vivir en un entorno étnicamente mixto conduce a una mayor tolerancia hacia las minorías, mientras que las teorías de amenazas étnicas muestran la menor amenaza, en entornos con solo un pequeño índice de minorías. Los adolescentes se segregan por muchas características, les gustan algunos y les desagradan por su popularidad, riqueza, frescura, actitudes hacia los deportes o el aprendizaje, etc. Al encontrar el impacto de la etnicidad, comparamos los cambios en la red de amistad observados en tres clases secundarias en Hungría: una con minoría extrema, una clase étnicamente equilibrada y una clase étnicamente homogénea. Los estudios de casos presentados, muestran las diferencias entre las clases con respecto a los vínculos de amistad y las estructuras de red también. Estas diferencias sugieren que la composición étnica de las clases se correlaciona con los lazos de amistad, sin embargo, si estas diferencias observadas se deben a la etnicidad, se requiere una metodología que controle todas las demás variables excepto etnia, lo que permite un grupo de control verdaderamente objetivo.
Research and conservation in the Roman baths of Marina el-Alamein

A Roman bath in use from the 2nd to the 4th century AD at the harbor of Marina
el-Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt continued to be researched, conserved and prepared
for exhibition by the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission working under the auspices of
the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw and the Faculty of Architecture,
Wrocław University of Technology. The bath and adjacent civic basilica were located in
the center of the ancient town, to the south of the ruins of the main square. By updating results of
research carried out in previous seasons, the present studies on the caldarium and frigidarium of the
bath and a part of the civic basilica have brought us significantly closer to identifying the functional
layout of the southern baths. Phases of construction were investigated as well and it is now possible
to trace the transformation of the building over time.
Textiles from Tomb II in Deir el-Bahari: preliminary report from season 2012/2013
Authors: Hallmann Aleksandra
Published: July 2018

In the 2012/2013 season, the Polish–Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Mission of the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari (PCMA UW) continued work in a tomb (Tomb II) cut into the cliffs bordering the temple of Tuthmosis III from the west. The work focused on a shaft and two subterranean chambers (C and D), which yielded together more than 300 pieces of funerary linen and equipment. Despite the disturbed archaeological context, the finds constitute an important corpus of seldom studied and published Pharaonic textiles. Some of the textiles are of very high quality, up to 2 m in length and preserved with their original colors. Importantly, they portray characteristic features of Pharaonic Egyptian textiles. Several pieces have inscriptions, including one with a fragmentary cartouche.

walls were drawn, joining previously separate scenes.
Nea Paphos. Seasons 2012 and 2013
Authors: Meyza Henryk
Published: July 2018

Excavation at the site of the so-called Hellenistic House in Nea Paphos in 2012
and 2013 was focused on the main courtyard (1) and the southern portico (R.3). The architecture
collapsed in an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. Blocks and architectural elements formed
an oblong tumble extending across the courtyard, apparently already not in their original position
save for some entablature blocks of the eastern peristyle, and two acroteria with symbols of Dioskouroi,
a pilos with a superimposed star, and at least two column shafts belonging to the southern
peristyle. The cistern under the southeastern part of the courtyard had two successive well-heads,
one (the later one) uncovered earlier, the other 2.02 m to the northwest, the top of which collapsed
into the cistern. The disturbed fill from the courtyard surface included a mold for sling bullets
with decoration in the form of a scorpion in relief and fragments of “Nabatean” capitals belonging
to a variant showing schematic volutes.

Published: July 2018

An extensive archaeological prospection along the coasts of Failaka recorded over
180 sites, different stone structures, surface pottery assemblages, farms and enclosures. These were
registered, documented and mapped. Stone by stone plans were drawn up of a number of substantial
structures that were cleaned and some general observations were made. All prospected and cleaned
structures proved to be built of local ashlar sandstone straight on solid ground or bedrock. All
kinds of mortar and plaster was used for building construction. Flat stones of similar dimensions
were carefully selected. Buildings were neatly designed with entrances always in the middle of the
front wall. Archaeological sites of Al-Sabbahiya, Um al-Dakhan, Matitah, Kharaib el-Desht with
a density of different historical structures dating from the mid- and late Islamic period are found in
the southern regions of Failaka Island.

Published: July 2018

Archaeological excavations of the medieval Islamic burial ground in the northern part of area U on the Kom el-Dikka site in Egyptian Alexandria, carried out from 2012 to 2014, yielded a total of 98 graves. Of these, 75 contained human skeletal remains. The minimum number of individuals (MNI) was 156. The article presents preliminary studies on this sample. The scope of the investigation was limited, however, owing to the poor state of preservation of the bone material.
Glass finds from Areas U and G at the Kom el-Dikka site
in Alexandria (excavations in 2012 and 2013)
Authors: Kucharczyk Renata
Published: July 2018

The glass material from PCMA excavations at the Kom el-Dikka site in Alexandria in
the 2012 and 2013 seasons consisted mainly of a late Roman/early Byzantine assemblage, mostly
yellowish-green blown glass characterized by a homogeneity of the fabric, a limited variety of vessel
types and simple workmanship, all indicative of a local glasshouse most likely operating at the site.
Fragments of early and late Roman mosaic glass were also an important element of the set. Excavations
in area U (sub-area US) also yielded a handful of late Hellenistic/early Roman glasses: various
types of cast bowls seldom previously reported from Kom el-Dikka, a linear-cut bowl, monochrome
patella, and colorless bowl with broad rim and overhung edge. The assemblage coming from area G
(basement of the late Roman baths) comprised late Roman free-blown, utilitarian wares representing
a limited range of forms. Also found in this area was cast glass of the late Hellenistic/early Roman
period: mosaic glass and a grooved bowl, the latter recorded for the first time at Kom el-Dikka.

Current maintenance and conservation were carried out in private houses and in the area south of the central square.
Tell el-Farkha: archaeological fieldwork 2014–2015
Authors: Chłodnicki Marek , Ciałowicz Krzysztof M.
Published: July 2018

The archaeological site of Tell el-Farkha is composed of three mounds excavated continuously by the Polish team since 1998. In the 2014 and 2015 seasons, covered in this report, investigations were carried out in already opened trenches in three sectors. On the Western Kom, another brewery was explored to add to the already existing set of investigated installations of this kind. It demonstrated three phases of use, the topmost separated from the middle one by a thick layer of burnt soil and ashes. The deposit attests to a conflagration that consumed the entire settlement. The study of a huge Naqadian building was continued on the Central Kom. Two occupation phases were distinguished: an older one at the beginning of the Naqada IIIA1 period and a younger one attributed to Naqada IIIA1–IIIA2. Remains of Lower Egyptian structures were unearthed below the foundations of this building. A big clay stamp-seal with hieroglyphs from the mid First Dynasty period was found associated with this feature. On the Eastern Kom, a big mud-brick edifice of unknown function was investigated. A further 17 graves, mostly from the second half of the First and the beginning of the Second Dynasty, were discovered as well.

Published: July 2018

The complex of the Nekloni monastery in Fayum (Deir el-Naqlun) was explored in yet another three seasons of fieldwork by a team from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology. On the plateau, investigations were carried out in the southern part of Building D (Rooms D.50 and D.41–D.44), northern part of Building E, western part of the 12th–13th-century Cemetery A and Building I. A 6th-century Hermitage EE.06 in the Naqlun hills to the east of the plateau was cleared, yielding a collection of study material, especially pottery from the kitchen unit dated to the second half of the 5th–6th century. The assemblage from the kitchen unit was composed of cooking
pots and saucepans; tableware was represented by goblets, plates and bottles (qullae), while storage/
transport vessels mainly by amphorae. Products of Egyptian workshops were mixed with imported
wares of North African and Eastern Mediterranean origin (including Cyprus, Cilicia and Gaza).
Middle Kingdom tombs of Asasif: archaeological activities in 2015
Authors: Chudzik Patryk
Published: July 2018

Investigations in the North Asasif necropolis, conducted by a team of Polish archaeologists in 2015, focused on three Middle Kingdom complexes: MMA 508/TT 311, MMA 511, and MMA 517/TT 240. A surface collection of finds from the courtyards was studied and prepared for storage, and artifacts from inside the tombs were documented. The overall picture of illicit penetration of the complexes in later periods and their reuse, mainly in the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period, is supported by the finds. Moreover, proof of the presence of Coptic monks was found in tomb MMA 517/TT 240.
From circle to rectangle. Evolution of the architectural plan in the early Neolithic in the Near East
Authors: Białowarczuk Marcin
Published: July 2018

Transformation of the plan seems to be one of the most fundamental characteristics of architectural evolution during the PPNA stage. It starts with simple round monocellular structures and ends with the invention of modular subrectangular ones, divided into many rooms. However, the evolution of some types of buildings in different regions of the Fertile Crescent was varied in pace. A major question are the main factors causing such regional differences. This paper presents a basic typology of early Neolithic structures and their regional diversification, which could result from individual dynamics of the development of original types stimulated by regionally invented practical and technical solutions. Two variants of the process were distinguished. The first is the evolution from a primitive shelter to open, free-standing durable forms of round houses. The other variant was the development from shelters to large round subterranean houses. Different regions of the Near East adopted one of these two variants. Each featured specific traits and determined further regional development of plan.
Ceramic patchwork in Hellenistic to Byzantine Phoenicia: regionalization and specialization of vessel production
Authors: Wicenciak Urszula
Published: July 2018

An analysis of pottery production in ancient Phoenicia reveals not only the land division into city-states in Hellenistic times, but also the blending in individual periods of the multifarious cultural influences reaching in from the western coast of Asia Minor, the Aegean, North African coast and Italy. The native Phoenician tradition clearly loses in significance with the arrival of the Romans in the East.
The Kushite temple in Soniyat after the 2016 season
Authors: Drzewiecki Mariusz
Published: July 2018

Archaeological fieldwork in the Kushite temple in Soniyat (Tergis 40) was conducted from 1997 to 2001 with an additional short season in 2013. A team supervised by Bogdan Żurawski returned to the site in 2016 to continue the excavation of the southern section of the complex. Remains of substantial mud-brick architecture were discovered together with large quantities of small finds (potsherds and objects made of metal, stone and faience) and faunal remains. A compact layer of Nile alluvial deposits, about 0.10 m thick, covering the remains represented evidence most probably of a flood. A single stone column was visible at that level. The spatial distribution of the discovered architectural features matches the temple orientation; they can be interpreted as the remains of a pylon with an entrance flanked by columns
Early Makuria Research Project. Excavations at El-Zuma in 2017 preliminary report

Published: July 2018

During the tenth season of excavations at el-Zuma the mission resumed the previously postponed excavation of the last two tunnels beneath tumuli T.1 and T.4. Both tumuli were classified as Type I burials, based on their large size and unique construction. The exploration of the said two tunnels was essential as each was expected to lead directly to the main burial chamber. Although the chambers were reached, yet they were found seriously rifled. Nonetheless, new modified elements of burial niche construction were discovered. The protection of the tumuli field was also completed during the course of the season

Authors: Czyżewska-Zalewska Ewa
Published: July 2018

The article presents new material excavated during the last season, discusses production technology and surface treatment. Recently excavated material from el-Zuma throws new light on pottery production and its typology, necessitating thus a reexamination of the already known vessel types. Some types of pottery, discovered in 2017, although known from other tumuli excavated in previous seasons and already published in general reports, still need to be reexamined. New types of vessels have also been identified.

Three-dimensional recording techniques, although growing rapidly in efficiency and applicability for archaeologists, have still not been turned to full account, mainly because they require for the most part expensive equipment and know-how. In this respect, photogrammetry is unique, being relatively cheap and easy to use. The joint Armenian–Polish archaeological project in Metsamor drew on the possibilities of this technology, which is relatively new to archaeological proceedings, in the daily recording system used at the site. The following article discusses the step-by-step application of photogrammetry in field documentation and its positive impact on archaeological work, Metsamor being taken as a case in point.
A decorated bronze censer from a cathedral in Old Dongola
Authors: Wyżgoł Maciej
Published: July 2018

A bronze censer found in the Church of Brick Pillars in Old Dongola in 1968 provides unique insight into the role of such liturgical vessels in medieval Nubia. In this new study of the iconography and production technique of this vessel, coupled with an epigraphical analysis of the Greek and Old Nubian inscription around the edge, the author suggests that the vessel was crafted by Makurian craftsmen sometime in the first few hundred years after the conversion of the Nubian kingdoms to Christianity (in the 6th or 7th century AD). Seeking sources of inspiration for the Dongolan masters of the metal-working craft, the author looks to the Byzantine Empire, where close parallels for the decoration of the Nubian censer can be found in late antique silver objects. This leads to a discussion of trade relations between the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Makuria, and the possible exchange of official gifts.
The port of Aynuna in pre-Islamic period. Nautical and topographical considerations on the location of Leuke Kome
Authors: Juchniewicz Karol
Published: July 2018

The trade facility in Wadi Aynuna, as well as the adjacent settlement and tentative location of an ancient port are believed to be the ancient Leuke Kome, a Nabatean port which connected Petra with the Red Sea trade network. In this brief paper the author reviews some data that bring light to bear on the issue of the nautical challenges posed by sailing conditions in the Red Sea, their potential influence on the maritime trade, and the importance of Aynuna as a port in northern Arabia which, taken together, support with greater strength the identification of this location with the Leuke Kome from the ancient written sources
Shaping a city and its defenses; fortifications of Hellenistic Berenike Trogodytika
Authors: Woźniak Marek , Sidebotham Steven E.
Published: July 2018

Key information on the location, size and dating of the Ptolemaic fortifications of Berenike Trogodytika comes from archaeological excavations carried out in 2013–2015, following the 2012 season when the presence of military architecture in the Red Sea harbor was first discovered and identified (Woźniak and Rądkowska 2014). Sections of a thick wall constructed of gypsum anhydrite blocks on a wide foundation were recorded in the northern part of the site (trenches BE-13/90 and BE13-93). The wall was part of the defenses protecting the harbor from the north, the only land access to the site through marshy ground on the fringes of the so-called “northern lagoon”. Further work in trenches BE14-97 in 2014 and BE15-104 in 2015 uncovered the remains of a well preserved early Hellenistic fortified city gate, built of gypsum anhydrite blocks and chunks of coral. The complex has no parallel at present anywhere in the Red Sea region. A series of shallow basins interconnected by pipes made of truncated necks of early Hellenistic amphorae, found to the east of the gate, served probably to collect rainwater. The water function? of the gate was confirmed further by a large basin or cistern, about 1 m deep, abutting the complex on the southwest. A subterranean network of four rock-cut chambers(?) was discovered at the bottom of the internal gate chamber. A corridor in the east wall of the gate shaft, with a covered channel in the floor, led off to the northeast, in the direction of a rectangular anomaly observed on the magnetic map, which could be another rock-cut shaft.

Published: July 2018

El presente texto es una aproximación metodológica y conceptualsociocultural desde una mirada crítica, decolonial, exploratoria e imaginativa, conla cual se pretende establecer algunos presupuestos y ejes de análisis que permitancomprender el fenómeno social de la centralidad discursiva de lo jurídico-políticohegemónico. A su vez, pretende propiciar debates y reflexiones sobre la condiciónsocial, el lazo social y el sentido social mediante otros enfoques y perspectivas deíndole interdisciplinaria, como elemento característico de un modo de pensar yhacer ciencias sociales situadas y emergentes. Es así que en un primer momento serevisarán los aportes y atributos del análisis crítico del discurso; en el segundo ytercer momentos se describirá y sustentará el trazo y la fundamentación de la metáforade las ondas junto con el de la semiosfera estatal, como estrategias figurativasde las relaciones de dominación jurídicopolíticamente mediadas y espacializadas; y en el último se abordará la relevancia de la contraposición entre los conceptosde pueblo y multitud y su incidencia en la potencialidad de lo emancipatorio yla resignificación del espacio discursivo constituyente. Al final, plantearemos algunasconsideraciones a manera de conclusión.The present text is a methodological and sociocultural conceptualapproach from a critical, decolonial, exploratory and imaginative perspective, withwhich it is intended to establish some assumptions and axes of analysis that allowunderstanding the social phenomenon of the discursive centrality of the hegemonicjuridical-political, as well as encouraging debates and reflections on the socialcondition, the social bond and the social sense through other interdisciplinary approachesand perspectives, as a characteristic element of a way of thinking anddoing situated and emerging social sciences. Thus, at a first moment the contributionsand attributes of the critical analysis of discourse will be reviewed; in thesecond and third moments, the outline and the foundation of the wave metaphorwill be described and sustained together with that of the state semiosphere, asfigurative strategies of the politically mediated and spatialized relations of legaldomination, in the last the relevance will be addressed of the contrast between theconcepts of people and the multitude and their impact on the potentiality of theemancipatory and the resignification of the discursive constituent space, and at theend some considerations.
Re-existencias travestis: Una contrahistoria desde la diferencia visual en Perú.
Authors: Romero Caballero Belén
Published: July 2018

El vínculo entre naturaleza y deshumanización es un discurso moderno colonial de género que mantene su vigencia mediante la basurización simbólica y concreta de quienes son vistos como inferiores, antnaturales y hasta como animales, convertdos en un desecho de la sociedad. Una forma de visualizar al otro como elemento sobrante del sistema simbólico. En este sentdo, maniobrar en el campo de la visualidad travest, sus convenciones y estereotpos, se convierte en una práctca de resistencia en tanto que se enfrenta al régimen escópico eurocéntrico disciplinante, astutamente camufado. Pero, igualmente, de re-existencia, al proponer la co-presencia visual de la diferencia, y por ende, la emergencia de otras identdades, formas de visibilidad, de visualización y de vida. Mediante una aproximación que se centra en el aspecto sensible de determinadas práctcas culturales en el ámbito geo-corpo-polítco peruano, como son Salón de Belleza, de Mario Bellatn, y Museo Travest del Perú, de Giuseppe Campuzano, trataremos de mostrar su papel mediador en las sociedades contemporáneas, pero, también, lo que se puede hacer con ellas para inventar una reescritura de las narratvas.
