description: The structure, lattice dynamics and mechanical properties of the magnesium hydroxide have been investigated with static density functional theory calculations as well as \it {ab initio} molecular dynamics. The hypothesis of a superstructure existing in the lattice formed by the hydrogen atoms has been tested. The elastic constants of the material have been calculated with static deformations approach and are in fair agreement with the experimental data. The hydrogen subsystem structure exhibits signs of disordered behaviour while maintaining correlations between angular positions of neighbouring atoms. We establish that the essential angular correlations between hydrogen positions are maintained to the temperature of at least 150 K and show that they are well described by a physically motivated probabilistic model. The rotational degree of freedom appears to be decoupled from the lattice directions above 30K.
Aspects of decoherence in qubit systems

description: We present a theoretical discussion of various aspects of the dynamics of information in quantum systems of qubits. We begin by reviewing ideas about entanglement and information in systems of qubits, different models for realistic qubits coupled to an external environment, how this causes the loss of information stored in qubits, and some practical designs for qubits that have been created. Then we study how the state of many-body systems can be decomposed in terms of its different subsystems and derived a hierarchy of equations describing the motion of these different parts. We show that in a qubit system, the central objects in this hierarchy are correlators between different components of different qubits. Systems where the environment coupled to a central qubit is a "spin bath'' of environmental qubits are then considered in detail and we find that information lost by the central qubit is transferred via a cascade to higher and higher order correlations with the environment. We discuses this process in the realistic example of an "Fe₈'' magnetic molecule qubit. Finally we discuss simple models of the dynamics of many entangled qubits.

description: This study is the second part of a survey searching for large-scale spectroscopic variability in apparently single Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. In a previous paper (Paper I), we described and characterized the spectroscopic variability level of 25 WR stars observable from the northern hemisphere and found 3 new candidates presenting large-scale wind variability, potentially originating from large-scale structures named Co-rotating Interaction Regions (CIRs). In this second paper, we discuss an additional 39 stars observable from the southern hemisphere. For each star in our sample, we obtained 4-5 high-resolution spectra with a signal-to-noise ratio of ~100 and determined its variability level using the approach described in Paper I. In total, 10 new stars are found to show large-scale spectral variability of which 7 present CIR-type changes (WR 8, WR 44, WR 55, WR 58, WR 61, WR 63, WR 100). Of the remaining stars, 20 were found to show small-amplitude changes and 9 were found to show no spectral variability as far as can be concluded from the data in hand. Also, we discuss the spectroscopic variability level of all single galactic WR stars that are brighter than v~12.5, and some WR stars with 12.5 < v <= 13.5; i.e. all the stars presented in our two papers and 4 more stars for which spectra have already been published in the literature. We find that 23/68 stars (33.8 %) present large-scale variability, but only 12/54 stars (~22.1 %) are potentially of CIR-type. Also, we find 31/68 stars (45.6 %) that only show small-scale variability, most likely due to clumping in the wind. Finally, no spectral variability is detected based on the data in hand for 14/68 (20.6 %) stars. Interestingly, the variability with the highest amplitude also have the widest mean velocity dispersion.

description: Die kupferzeitliche Befestigungsanlage von Los Millares wurde im Jahr 1891 von L. Siret entdeckt. Die von ihm beschriebenen Wasserversorgungsanlagen, eine ca. 1 km von der Siedlung entfernt liegende Quelle, eine zur Siedlung und innerhalb dieser weiterführende Wasserleitung sowie ein großer Wasserspeicher im Innern der Siedlung, wurden inzwischen mittels archäometrischer Methoden überprüft und ergänzt. 230Th/U-Untersuchungen an Kalksinterablagerungen innerhalb der Befestigungsanlage erbrachten den eindeutigen Nachweis einer undichten Wasserleitung, aus der in der frühen und mittleren Kupferzeit Wasser floss oder zumindest stetig tropfte. Sinterablagerungen am Ende einer die Ebene von Los Millares begrenzenden Schlucht (ca. 400 m vom Siretschen Quellstandort entfernt) sind noch während des Bestehens oder kurz nach dem Auflassen der Befestigungsanlage entstanden. Der Quellaustritt wird wenige Meter südwestlich vermutet. Es wurde nachgewiesen, dass dieser tatsächlich den Aquädukt von Los Millares speiste. Die Tatsache, dass es sich dabei um ein Mischwasser aus Thermal- und oberflächennahem Grundwasser handelte, ermöglicht den Nachweis von Klimaschwankungen in der frühen und mittleren Kupferzeit.
Socrates Now or The Apology Project: From Greek Roots to Transnational Routes

description: Since the 1980s, Greek American theatre practitioners have been making their presence increasingly felt in the theatre and performing arts landscape of the United States (U.S.). Their work evinces that Greek American theatre has come a long way from the Modern Greek Diaspora theatre, which began in Chicago at the end of the nineteenth century and flourished in several U.S. cities during the interwar period. The motives, springboards, and driving forces of contemporary Greek American theatre are markedly different from those underpinning the work of early agents of Greek American theatre in the U.S., whether individual practitioners, troupes, or companies. The aim now is not to serve the ethnic imperatives of cultivating the Greek language, spreading Greek culture, and staying in close contact with the ancestral roots. Instead of serving the centripetal forces of Greek history and tradition, as well as the idea(l)s of ethnic identity and belonging, the latest works of Greek American theatre artists are animated by the centrifugal energy of the desire for a reconfigured transnational and transcultural selfhood. Their commitments lie more squarely than ever before with extroversion, movement, mixture, and interaction. The present paper discusses Yannis Simonides’ Socrates Now (or The Apology Project) as an illustrative example of the new directions Greek American theatre has embarked upon in the last few decades. It places special emphasis on what this work reveals about the emerging trends in Greek American theatre’s reception of the Greek classics—the latter being the erstwhile core of Greek American theatrical activity in the U.S. We argue that Simonides’ Socrates Now offers an alternative understanding of Greek American theatre and (its) classical reception praxis by acting upon the will to assemble a viable and generative, performing and performable, Greekness from heterogeneous formal and conceptual elements, in line with an ethic that we shall call, after Vassilis Lambropoulos (2016), transcompositional.

description: This study examined the use of voice recognition technology in perioperative services (Periop) to enable Periop staff to record workflow milestones using mobile technology. The use of mobile technology to improve patient flow and quality of care could be facilitated if such voice recognition technology could be made robust. The goal of this experiment was to allow the Periop staff to provide care without being interrupted with data entry and querying tasks. However, the results are generalizable to other situations where an engineering manager attempts to improve communication performance using mobile technology. This study enhanced Google's voice recognition capability by using post-processing classifiers (i.e., bag-of-sentences, support vector machine, and maximum entropy). The experiments investigated three factors (original phrasing, reduced phrasing, and personalized phrasing) at three levels (zero training repetition, 5 training repetitions, and 10 training repetitions). Results indicated that personal phrasing yielded the highest correctness and that training the device to recognize an individual's voice improved correctness as well. Although simplistic, the bag-of-sentences classifier significantly improved voice recognition correctness. The classification efficiency of the maximum entropy and support vector machine algorithms was found to be nearly identical. These results suggest that engineering managers could significantly enhance Google's voice recognition technology by using post-processing techniques, which would facilitate its use in health care and other applications.

description: In this paper, incorporating the property of the vacuum negative pressure, namely, the bag constant, we presented a new model of the equation of state (EOS) of quark matter at finite chemical potential and zero temperature. By comparing our EOS with Fraga {\it et~al.}'s EOS and SQM1 model, one find that our EOS is softer than Fraga {\it et~al.}'s EOS and SQM1 model. The reason for this difference is analyzed. With these results we investigate the structure of quark star. A comparison between our model of quark star and other models is made. The obtained mass of quark star is $ 1.3 \sim 1.66 M_\odot$ and the radius is $9.5 \sim 14 Km$. One can see that our star's compactness is smaller than that of other two models.

description: We develop an analytical approach which provides the dependence of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for random walks on complex networks both on the target connectivity and on the source-target distance. Our approach puts forward two strongly different behaviors depending on the type - compact or non compact - of the random walk. In the case of non compact exploration, we show that the MFPT scales linearly with the inverse connectivity of the target, and is largely independent of the starting point. On the contrary, in the compact case the MFPT is controlled by the source-target distance, and we find that unexpectedly the target connectivity becomes irrelevant for remote targets.

Conflict-ing/-ed Neo-burlesque Bodies: From Nostalgia to Objectification and Back
Creators: name: Tzouni, Mariza
Publisher: name: Ex-centric Narratives: Journal of Anglophone Literature, Culture and Media

description: From the first Girl Shows to the neo-burlesque spectacle, the representation of the female body was a conflicting/-ed ground in terms of format (eg. tableaux vivants, cooch and shimmy dancers or strippers) and genre transformations (eg. vaudeville, minstrel, circus, carnival, burlesque, or cabaret) to endure sociopolitical distresses and “titillate” spectatorship. Through mimicry, parody and travesty, burlesque performers often satirized the content of traditional high-class plays to entertain the working-class audiences who met difficulty in understanding the elite’s tastes. Based on their predecessors’ principles, neo-burlesque performers have acquired aesthetic corporeality to feed their spectators’ lustful appetites. They stylistically and artistically re/approach nostalgic acts and transform toy memories to adult entertainment extravaganzas in order to reshuffle past stories to present glittery sociopolitical her/stories and engage their audiences in their transmedia storytelling and re/narratives. In this light, Roxi D’Lite’s Lavender Classic, Camilla Cream’s 1940’s Classic, Lola the Vamp’s The Doll, and Coco Framboise’s Mr. Potato Head will index how nostalgia, re-visiting of traditional tales and toys, and the play on physical and sexual objectification of the female body generate cross-hybridized neo-burlesque productions.

description: The Higgs mediated flavor violating bottom-strange quarks transitions induced at the one-loop level by a nondiagonal $Hbs$ coupling are studied within the context of an effective Yukawa sector that comprises $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$-invariant operators of up to dimension-six. The most recent experimental result on $B\to X_sγ$ with hard photons is employed to constraint the $Hbs$ vertex, which is used to estimate the branching ratio for the $B_s\to γγ$ decay. It is found that the $B_s\to γγ$ decay can reach a branching ratio of the order of $4\times 10^{-8}$, which is 2 orders of magnitude more stringent than the current experimental limit.

Female struggle and negotiation of agency in Christina Dalcher’s Vox
Creators: name: Pinakoulia, Maria
Publisher: name: Ex-centric Narratives: Journal of Anglophone Literature, Culture and Media
Year: 2020

description: Christina Dalcher’s Vox (2018) tells a powerful story where the female body is the target of the hegemonic discourses and controlling systems of a totalitarian government. In this dystopian American society, women lose every right over their own body and agency as they are forced to perform stereotypical gender roles and follow the government’s disciplinary rules and practices. The novel links the physical and psychological violence on women with the use of language. Women are forced to wear metal wrists that limit their language production, thus making their bodies ‘docile’. Vox, however, is also a story of female negotiation and agency. The main protagonist, Jean, manages to articulate her own subjectivity and bring down the government. Employing the post-structuralist theories of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, this paper discusses the concept of the female body as site of power relations and constant negotiation for agency and freedom. The paper examines the different forms of violence in the female subject and offers an extensive analysis of the female body as the locus of resistance, self-articulation.

description: We present a broad class of supersymmetric models that preserve R-parity but lack missing energy signatures. These models have new light particles with weak-scale supersymmetric masses that feel SUSY breaking only through couplings to the MSSM. This small SUSY breaking leads to nearly degenerate fermion/boson pairs, with small mass splittings and hence small phase space for decays carrying away invisible energy. The simplest scenario has low-scale SUSY breaking, with missing energy only from soft gravitinos. This scenario is natural, lacks artificial tunings to produce a squeezed spectrum, and is consistent with gauge coupling unification. The resulting collider signals will be jet-rich events containing false resonances that could resemble signatures of R-parity violation. We discuss several concrete examples of the general idea, and emphasize gamma + jet + jet resonances, displaced vertices, and very large numbers of b-jets as three possible discovery modes.

description: This paper presents a synthesis of the results obtained during the eight archaeological field seasons conducted at the prehistoric fortified settlement of Outeiro Redondo(Sesimbra) between 2005 and 2016. According to the results of the radiocarbon analyses, the occupation of the site can be dated to between 2600 and 2100 cal BC. During these ca. 500 years of human presence on that rocky hill, dominating the bay of Sesimbra, a mighty defensive system was built, using large blocks of locally available hard limestones, with an ellipsoidal plan and surrounding the highest part of the hill. This walled line defended an area occupied by several circular or ellipsoidal habitational structures, accompanied by several combustion structures, in some cases used for copper metallurgy, a very well documented economic activity at this site. The joint analysis of the absolute chronology, the stratigraphic sequence, the typology of the recovered archaeological assemblages and the construction sequence of both habitational and defensive structures, supports the following correlations: First cultural phase – Early Chalcolithic (2600–2500 cal BC): scarce metallurgical evidence; ceramic production with fluted decoration; absence of defensive structures; habitational structures represented by sub-circular huts and structured hearths. Short occupation hiatus (which might be only partial), perhaps of one or two decades, following a major fire that destroyed the most densely populated part of the settlement, corresponding to the platform located on its eastern side. Second cultural phase – Full/Final Chalcolithic (2440–2110 cal BC): strong evidence of copper metallurgy; ceramics with ›acacia leaf‹ and ›cruciferae‹ decorative patterns; defensive structures built during a single construction phase; ellipsoidal huts and structured hearths.
Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase: The novelistic rewriting of Ovid (and Shakespeare) in Austen's Emma
Creators: name: Kantzia, Emmanouela
Publisher: name: Ex-centric Narratives: Journal of Anglophone Literature, Culture and Media
Year: 2020

description: If, as critics have noted, Austen’s Emma is a re-imaging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, then it is also in dialog with Ovid’s Metamorphoses, one of the main subtexts in Shakespeare’s comedy. The novel can indeed be read as an inversion of the Apollo and Daphne tale, as the heroine assumes in succession the roles of all three protagonists: Daphne, Apollo and Cupid. In Ovid’s tale, which is meant to account for the birth of poetry, Apollo loses his love in order to gain his voice. By contrast, Austen’s heroine has to give up her voice (or creative imagination) in order to become a lover. Emma’s metamorphosis is mirrored in the narrative strategies that Austen employs in order to eventually silence her heroine. The author’s gesture, finally, is emblematic of the kind of transformation that Austen brings to the novel as a genre, by placing at its core what Walter Scott has described as the “mundanity of everyday life”.

description: Alto da Cruz (Mora, Portugal) is a distinctive site within the known frame of reference of menhirs in Portugal. The group of menhirs was identified by L. Rocha and P. Alvim, in August 2011, and archaeological work was carried out in 2012, allowing researchers to confirm its cruciform plan. It presents several exceptional characteristics that justify new lines of questioning on the diversity of open megalithic monuments in the Alentejo and their chrono-cultural relationship with funerary megalithism. In this paper, the functionality of the Alto da Cruz menhir group is presented and discussed.

One model of these events consists in a hotspot orbiting on the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of the hole. These outbursts can be used as a probe of the central gravitational potential. One main scientific goal of the second generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY is to observe these flares astrometrically. Here, the astrometric precision of GRAVITY is investigated in imaging mode, which consists in analysing the image computed from the interferometric data. The capability of the instrument to put in light the motion of a hotspot orbiting on the ISCO of our central black hole is then discussed. We find that GRAVITY's astrometric precision for a single star in imaging mode is smaller than the Schwarzschild radius of Sgr A*. The instrument can also demonstrate that a body orbiting on the last stable orbit of the black hole is indeed moving. It yields a typical size of the orbit, if the source is as bright as m_K=14. These results show that GRAVITY allows one to study the close environment of Sgr A*. Having access to the ISCO of the central massive black hole probably allows constraining general relativity in its strong regime. Moreover, if the hotspot model is appropriate, the black hole spin can be constrained.

description: This study discusses multiple conflicts within the context of advertising in relation to gender and translation, focusing on advertising in the US. To begin, it explores gender in advertising: First, it addresses the conflict between advertising (of the past and present)—a rather sexist industry—and subvertising, which includes the reconstruction of advertisements in order to criticize the original advertising messages. The next conflict arises between sexist representations of women in contemporary advertising and its audience’s increasing urge to break these rigid gender stereotypes, as critical comments on social media show. Furthermore, this paper focuses on the translation of advertising in relation to gender: More specifically, it analyzes the conflict between sexism in advertising language and the objectives of a translation process aimed at gender equality. Finally, it considers the feminist translator’s inner conflict, as they face the dilemma of creating either a profit-oriented translation or an equality-oriented translation, or even a possible combination of both. Keywords: gender equality, advertising, subvertising, translation, conflict(s)

description: This paper presents various automatic detection methods to extract so called tortured phrases from scientific papers. These tortured phrases, e.g. flag to clamor instead of signal to noise, are the results of paraphrasing tools used to escape plagiarism detection. We built a dataset and evaluated several strategies to flag previously undocumented tortured phrases. The proposed and tested methods are based on language models and either on embeddings similarities or on predictions of masked token. We found that an approach using token prediction and that propagates the scores to the chunk level gives the best results. With a recall value of .87 and a precision value of .61, it could retrieve new tortured phrases to be submitted to domain experts for validation.

The Quiet Encroachment: Stories of Everyday Resistance
Creators: name: Rahnamanoabadi, Leila
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2025

The Quiet Encroachment: Stories of Everyday Resistance is an interdisciplinary exhibition combining sculptural masks, video installations, and narratives to explore the intersection of gender, resistance, and identity in the context of authoritarian control. Utilizing the entirety of LEG Gallery, the exhibition examines how Iranian women confront societal and state-imposed restrictions through everyday acts of defiance.

 Inspired by Suzankari (ÿ≥Ÿàÿ≤ŸÜ ÿØŸàÿ≤€å), a traditional needlework practice from southern Iran, the exhibition reinterprets its elements‚Äîthread, and mirrors‚Äîby using fragmented mirrors to symbolize the fragility and disjointed realities of life under surveillance. These mirrors, stitched together with thread, represent the collective strength formed through small, individual acts of resistance.

 The gallery space features sculptural masks displayed on metal stands shaped like human figures, paired with video installations showing the process of sewing masks. The videos are accompanied by women‚Äôs voices narrating their personal stories of navigating and resisting restrictive systems. The juxtaposition of fragmented mirrors and narrated stories emphasizes the tension between private and public identities and the labor required to reclaim agency.

 This exhibition highlights the strategies women use to challenge oppressive systems while creating a dialogue about the significance of everyday resistance. By blending traditional crafts with contemporary storytelling, The Quiet Encroachment encourages viewers to engage with the resilience and creativity of these women‚Äôs lives.

description: The transition between massive Class II circumstellar disks and Class III debris disks, with dust residuals, has not yet been clearly understood. Disks are expected to dissipate with time, and dust clearing in the inner regions can be the consequence of several mechanisms. Planetary formation is one of them that will possibly open a gap inside the disk. According to recent models based on photometric observations, T Cha is expected to present a large gap within its disk, meaning that an inner dusty disk is supposed to have survived close to the star. We investigate this scenario with new near-infrared interferometric observations. We observed T Cha in the H and K bands using the AMBER instrument at VLTI and used the MCFOST radiative transfer code to model the SED of T Cha and the interferometric observations simultaneously and to test the scenario of an inner dusty structure. We also used a toy model of a binary to check that a companion close to the star can reproduce our observations. The scenario of a close (few mas) companion cannot satisfactorily reproduce the visibilities and SED, while a disk model with a large gap and an inner ring producing the bulk of the emission (in H and K-bands) close to 0.1 AU is able to account for all the observations. With this study, the presence of an optically thick inner dusty disk close to the star and dominating the H and K- bands emission is confirmed. According to our model, the large gap extends up to ~ 7.5 AU. This points toward a companion (located at several AU) gap-opening scenario to explain the morphology of T Cha.
Faience Found in the Recent Excavations to the East of the Great Altar in the Samos Heraion

description: New excavations east of the Monumental Altar in the Samos Heraion have revealed deposits of discarded votive material associated with sacrificial practices at the earlier altars. Faience objects make up a major part of this material and we now have a sequence of datable levels which span the fifty or so years prior to the new altar. This enables us to assess the significance of this material in the ritual landscape of the sanctuary. Direct links with Egypt can be established for a small number of objects, but the majority are in a style which borrows themes from Egyptian sacred animals and deities, but presents them in a ›mixed style‹. Other objects reproduce the sacred baskets of Bastet, as well as local shallow bowls. An imitative tendency, linked to strong ritual significance, shows faience as an important carrier of meaning. The question of their origin does not have a single answer.

description: Resonantly enhanced emission from the zero phonon line of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in single crystal diamond is demonstrated experimentally using a hybrid whispering gallery mode nanocavity. A 900 nm diameter ring nanocavity formed from gallium phosphide, whose sidewalls extend into a diamond substrate, is tuned onto resonance at low-temperature with the zero phonon line of a negatively charged NV center implanted near the diamond surface. When the nanocavity is on resonance, the zero phonon line intensity is enhanced by approximately an order of magnitude, and the spontaneous emission lifetime of the NV is reduced as much as 18%, corresponding to a 6.3X enhancement of emission in the zero photon line.
Could the planets around HR 8799 be brown dwarfs?

description: We consider the limiting case for orbital stability of the companions to HR 8799. This case is only consistent with ages for the system of ~100 Myr, not with the 1 Gyr age proposed from astroseismology. The discrepancy probably arises because the inclination of the star is smaller than assumed in analyzing the astroseismology data. Given this young age, the best estimates of the companion masses place them by a small margin on the planet side of the division between planets and brown dwarfs.

description: We have fabricated oxide based spin filter junctions in which we demonstrate that magnetic anisotropy can be used to tune the transport behavior of spin filter junctions. Until recently, spin filters have been largely comprised of polycrystalline materials where the spin filter barrier layer and one of the electrodes are ferromagnetic. These spin filter junctions have relied on the weak magnetic coupling between one ferromagnetic electrode and a barrier layer or the insertion of a nonmagnetic insulating layer in between the spin filter barrier and electrode. We have demonstrated spin filtering behavior in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/chromite/Fe3O4 junctions without nonmagnetic spacer layers where the interface anisotropy plays a significant role in determining transport behavior. Detailed studies of chemical and magnetic structure at the interfaces indicate that abrupt changes in magnetic anisotropy across the non-isostructural interface is the cause of the significant suppression of junction magnetoresistance in junctions with MnCr2O4 barrier layers.

We more generally cover collision kernels with parameters $s\in (0,1)$ and $γ$ satisfying $γ> -n$ in arbitrary dimensions $\mathbb{T}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 2$. Moreover, we prove rapid convergence as predicted by the celebrated Boltzmann $H$-theorem. When $γ\ge -2s$, we have exponential time decay to the Maxwellian equilibrium states. When $γ

“This Whole World Is a Story”: Popularizing Narrative Instability in Contemporary Film and Television
Creators: name: Schubert, Stefan
Publisher: name: Ex-centric Narratives: Journal of Anglophone Literature, Culture and Media
Year: 2020

description: In this article, I examine the intersection of two trends in contemporary US popular culture: a tendency of recent films to obfuscate the process of narrative understanding (called narrative instability) and a move towards combining elements of narrative with those of play (ludic textuality). I introduce both trends in more general terms and then look at the film Inception and the TV series Westworld to exemplify these trends’ narrative dynamics. This allows me to argue that narrative instability characterizes contemporary popular culture by an embrace of incoherence and by pleasures that build on an audience willing to actively engage with the text and its narration. While this has originally been a predominant trend in films, more recently, fusions of narrative and play have allowed television’s seriality to adopt instability as well, a convergence that I investigate by looking at the synergies between Inception and Westworld.

description: The magnetization distribution, its energetic characterization by the interlayer coupling constants and lattice dynamics of (001)-oriented Fe/Pt multilayers are investigated using density functional theory combined with the direct method to determine phonon frequencies. It is found that ferromagnetic order between consecutive Fe layers is favoured, with the enhanced magnetic moments at the interface. The bilinear and biquadratic coupling coefficients between Fe layers are shown to saturate fast with increasing thickness of nonmagnetic Pt layers which separate them. The phonon calculations demonstrate a rather strong dependence of partial iron phonon densities of states on the actual position of Fe monolayer in the multilayer structure.

description: Die mit den Kampagnen 2017 und 2018 abgeschlossene deutsch-griechische Ausgrabung in der nordwestlichen Unterstadt von Tiryns hat neue Erkenntnisse zum Wandel von Kultur und Umwelt in der mykenischen Palast- und Nachpalastzeit erbracht. Geoarchäologisch-sedimentologische Untersuchungen widerlegen die These einer Überschwemmungskatastrophe als Auslöser der bekannten Flussumleitung der späten mykenischen Palastzeit. Die nördlich der Akropolis vorliegenden fluvialen Sedimente wurden nicht auf einmal, sondern bei bis zu 150 Hochwasserereignissen zwischen der Mitte des 14. Jhs. v. Chr. und dem Ende des 13. Jhs. v. Chr. allmählich akkumuliert. Der Nachweis einer ausgedehnten Planierschicht lässt den Wunsch zur Bebauung des Areals als wichtiges Motiv für die Flussumleitung erscheinen, eine Planung, die aber während der Palastzeit nicht mehr verwirklicht werden konnte. In dem unbebauten Areal ließen sich vorübergehend Kunsthandwerker nieder, die für den Palast Möbel aus Holz und Elfenbein sowie andere Luxusgüter herstellten. Die am Beginn von Späthelladisch IIIC Früh einsetzende Bebauung folgte einem in beiden Bauhorizonten des 12. Jhs. beibehaltenen Bebauungsschema aus rechteckigen Modulen mit gleich ausgerichteten Höfen und Häusern. Der sorgfältig konzipierte Charakter der so geschaffenen ›Planstadt‹ erweist diese als ein Vermächtnis endpalastzeitlicher Bauplanungen und als das wohl einzige Großbauprojekt, das in SH IIIC in Griechenland verwirklicht wurde. Die Besiedlung der nordwestlichen Unterstadt geriet indes schon nach wenigen Generationen ins Stocken und wurde lange vor dem Ende der mykenischen Zeit aufgegeben.
