Publicness in Networks
Creators: name: Shafiq, Saman
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: The scholarly work on publicness in organizations has helped us understand how and why public and private organizations differ and has substantially increased our understanding of an organization’s behavior (such as its decision-making and performance). Network scholars, who study multi-organizational arrangements, have yet to examine the meaning and implications of understanding networks through the lens of publicness. This dissertation fills this gap in network literature and offers a network publicness framework based on the work done by organizational scholars. Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis, the dissertation shows that different levels of publicness causally explain whether a network aims for and achieves effectiveness and/or efficiency. The results also confirm that more public networks are more formal (have more embedded accountability measures) than less public networks. A post-QCA deviant case analysis shows several new variables that could define publicness in a network, and the results are used to refine the initially proposed framework.
Ritratto del poeta, Alessandro Lami
Creators: name: Aiello, Patrizio
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: Alessandro Lami è autore di un testo ben noto a chi si occupa di storia dell’arte lombarda del Cinquecento (il Discorso intorno alla scoltura e pittura, pubblicato a Cremona, per i tipi di Cristoforo Draconi, nel 1584, che è in realtà l’elogio del pittore Bernardino Campi, escluso dalle Vite di Giorgio Vasari), ma è anche un poeta, autore, in gioventù, di un lungo elogio dei cremonesi illustri in ottava rima (Sogno non meno piacevole che morale, Cremona, Draconi, 1572) e, in tarda età, di una raccolta di Rime spirituali (Pavia, per gli heredi di Girolamo Bartoli, 1598). I suoi contorni biografici, così come i principali fatti della sua vita, sono da sempre ignoti agli studiosi, come dimostra l’oscillazione degli estremi anagrafici nella letteratura specialistica. Stabilire alcuni punti fondamentali della sua vita, sulla scorta di documentazione d’archivio inedita e di un confronto con le fonti antiche e moderne, sarà utile anche per comprendere il suo ruolo effettivo nel percorso di Bernardino Campi, uno dei pittori più importanti nella Milano della metà del XVI secolo.

La praefectura di Peltuinum e il suo territorio
Creators: name: Gigante, Gaia
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: I resti dell’antico centro di Peltuinum sono stati rinvenuti a circa 30 km a sud-ovest dell’odierna città dell’Aquila, su di un pianoro compreso tra i comuni di Prata d’Asidonia e San Pio delle Camere. Si tratta di un antico insediamento dei Vestini Cismontani, così come furono chiamati da Plinio nella sua descrizione del territorio italico. Numerosi sono stati gli articoli o i riferimenti a questo centro da parte della critica moderna. Esso infatti si inserisce all’interno di un dibattito che di recente sta conoscendo un grande sviluppo: quello relativo alle praefecturae e alla loro origine ed evoluzione a seguito della Guerra Sociale e quello relativo agli insediamenti minori (vici / fora / conciliabula) e il loro grado di autonomia amministrativa e giurisdizionale a seguito del conflitto. La storia di Peltuinum risulta essere dunque un anello importante nella ricostruzione dei processi di romanizzazione dell’area centro-italica, costituendo un caso anomalo o un caso simbolo delle procedure di annessione del territorio italico allo Stato romano e delle modalità di organizzazione di esso. Questo articolo si concentra sulla praefectura di Peltuinum, partendo dal dibattito sulla sua origine, per arrivare al rapporto tra praefectura e municipium in età tardo repubblicana e imperiale e infine focalizzandosi sul legame tra il centro e i suoi vici di competenza, in particolare il vicus di Furfo.

description: L’iconografia della donna assisa con bambino costituisce senza dubbio il soggetto più significativo nel repertorio dei votivi fittili del santuario di Fondo Patturelli dell’antica Capua. Oltre che nei piccoli votivi è rappresentato sulla serie delle celebri statue in tufo, nonché replicato su vari esemplari nella coroplastica maggiore. Questo contributo intende fornire degli spunti preliminari di analisi a partire dai primi alla luce delle altre due serie testimoniali, ponendo l’attenzione su alcune caratteristiche stilistiche e formali, evidenziandone i tratti comuni e le differenze. Tale analisi infatti potrebbe sondare ulteriori ipotesi sulla natura e motivazione del tipo di offerta.

description: Previous studies (Sparavigna, 2023) have demonstrated the Tsallis q-Gaussian functions suitable for the analysis of Raman spectra. The q-Gaussians are symmetric functions that can be used for simulating different line shapes of Raman bands. Here we propose an asymmetric form of the q-Gaussians, to generalize the Breit-Wigner-Fano profiles. Some examples are proposed, in particular a case study of the LO band of SiC.
Sinonimia e omonimia derivazionali nel russo della rete

description: Nell’ambito degli studi sui processi attivi che caratterizzano la lingua russa contemporanea, il presente contributo pone l’accento sul tema della derivazione lessicale nella comunicazione in rete. Dopo aver analizzato affinità e differenze relative al funzionamento nel web e nel russo normato dei modelli derivazionali che originano neologismi con significato di persona, lo studio si focalizza sui fenomeni di sinonimia e di omonimia legati alla derivazione presenti in Internet. Nello specifico, analizzando congiuntamente i neologismi frutto dei diversi modelli derivazionali considerati, esso sottolinea come nella lingua russa del web sia evidente lo sviluppo di strette relazioni tra la categoria grammaticale della derivazione e quelle semantiche della sinonimia e dell’omonimia e come questo aspetto, che costituisce un punto di differenza rispetto alla lingua registrata nella grammatica, rappresenti una precisa marca della comunicazione nello spazio virtuale. Il lavoro, affrontando un tema nuovo per la russistica, contribuisce a sottolineare l’importanza di Internet nello studio sincronico del russo.

Double resonance response of a superconducting quantum metamaterial: manifestation of non-classical states of photons

description: We report a theoretical study of ac response of superconducting quantum metamaterials (SQMs), i.e. an array of qubits (two-levels system) embedded in the low-dissipative resonator. By making use of a particular example of SQM, namely the array of charge qubits capacitively coupled to the resonator, we obtain a second-order phase transition between an incoherent (the high-temperature phase) and coherent (the low-temperatures phase) states of photons. This phase transition in many aspects resembles the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition. The critical temperature of the phase transition, $T^\star$, is determined by the energy splitting of two-level systems $δ$, number of qubits in the array $N$, and the strength of the interaction $η$ between qubits and photons in the cavity. We obtain that the photon states manifest themselves by resonant drops in the frequency dependent transmission $D(ω)$ of electromagnetic waves propagating through a transmission line weakly coupled to the SQM. At high temperatures the $D(ω)$ displays a single resonant drop, and at low temperatures a peculiar \emph{double resonance response} has to be observed. The physical origin of such a resonant splitting is the quantum oscillations between two coherent states of photons of different polarizations.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: The need for current and future teachers who require ongoing support when teaching English learners (Els) with disabilities is clearly important and critical for the increasingly diverse student population. The extant research provides a very limited account of the content and process for preparing teachers. The purpose of this qualitative study was designed to learn from the perspectives of the 13 special education teachers who are serving ELs regarding their planning, instruction, evaluation, and their preparation program. Specifically, I explored how practicing special education teachers address the needs for ELs with disabilities. Special education teachers who currently teach ELs with disabilities were recruited to participate in the study. A series of semi-structured interviews using a set of open-ended questions for each round of interviews was completed. Questions were designed to learn how participants plan, teach, and evaluate ELs with disabilities. Qualitative analysis was used to discern patterns and themes from the data. Implications for teacher preparation were derived from the results. The questions addressed in this study were the following: (a) How do special education teachers describe their planning, instruction, and assessment of students with learning disabilities who are also English Learners? and (b) How do special education teachers who teach emergent bilinguals with learning disabilities describe the professional development process that has prepared them to effectively teach ELs with LD?

The Complexity of Poverty. Dickens’s Response to the Poor Lawfrom Oliver Twist to Bleak House
Creators: name: Vescovi, Alessandro
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: Pochi autori hanno saputo rappresentare la povertà con la compassione e la sensibilità di Dickens, sorprende dunque che rari siano gli studi pubblicati sul rapporto tra Dickens e i poveri del suo tempo. Il presente articolo indaga l’evoluzione del concetto di povertà nelle opere di Dickens dal giovanile Oliver Twist al più maturo Bleak House. In un momento in cui la riflessione sulla povertà era dominata dall’agenda della Poor Law Commission, il pensiero che emerge dagli scritti dickensiani vede un’evoluzione da una spontanea empatia di matrice religiosa a una visione più sofisticata della povertà. La stessa poetica dei romanzi dickensiani consente col tempo di penetrare sempre più profondamente la complessità della condizione del povero, in aperto contrasto con la semplicistica nozione vittoriana secondo cui i problemi che conducono all’indigenza possono essere ricondotti a due o tre categorie e risolti di conseguenza.

description: To investigate finite-volume effects on the chiral symmetry restoration and the deconfinement transition and some impacts of possible global topological background for a quantum chromodynamics (QCD) system with $N_f=2$ (two quark flavors), we apply the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model by introducing a chiral chemical potential $μ_5$ artificially. The final numerical results indicate that the introduced chiral chemical potential does not change the critical exponents but shifts the location of critical end point (CEP) significantly; the ratios for the chiral chemical potentials and temperatures at CEP, $μ_c/μ_{5c}$ and $T_c/T_{5c}$, are significantly affected by the system size $R$. The behavior is that $T_c$ increases slowly with $μ_5$ when $R$ is large and $T_c$ decreases first and then increases with $μ_5$ when $R$ is small. It is also found that for a fixed $μ_5$, there is a $R_{\text{min}}$, where the critical end point vanishes, and the whole phase diagram becomes a crossover when $R

description: We discuss the collective modes in an alkaline-earth Fermi gas close to an orbital Feshbach resonance. Unlike the usual Feshbach resonance, the orbital Feshbach resonance in alkaline-earth atoms realizes a two-band superfluid system where the fermionic nature of both the open and the closed channel has to be taken into account. We show that apart from the usual Anderson-Bogoliubov mode which corresponds to the oscillation of total density, there also appears the long-sought Leggett mode corresponding to the oscillation of relative density between the two channels. The existence of the phonon and the Leggett modes and their evolution are discussed in detail. We show how these collective modes are reflected in the density response of the system.

Sowing Seeds of Resistance: Heritage Spanish Teachers Engaging in Testimonio and Critical Action Research
Creators: name: Fret, Nancy
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: A vast amount of Latina/o/x students enroll in US public schools with the potential to become bilingual in English and Spanish. However, this potential is often dismissed, ignored, and their Spanish is perceived as a problem to be overcome. Despite this, some Latina/o/x bilingual students decide to become Spanish as a Heritage Language (SHL) educators. My dissertation is a two-phase qualitative study drawing from Latino Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) and Chicana Feminist Theory to inform its theoretical framework and methodology. Participants for the first phase consisted of 11 Spanish as a Heritage Language (SHL) high school teachers who are Spanish heritage speakers themselves. The study captured participants’ testimonios, in which they reflected on their language experiences across the PreK-16 educational pipeline and shared how these experiences presently inform their teaching practices in their SHL classrooms. Testimonios were collected via a semi-structured interview and a written sociolinguistic autobiography. Preliminary findings were co-constructed with participants via a plática, disrupting the Eurocentric practice of the researcher positioned as the sole interpreter and creator of knowledge. The findings for the first phase of this dissertation study informed the design of the second phase, which consists of a Critical Action Research (CAR) study. Findings revealed that participants experienced linguistic discrimination at different points throughout their educational trajectories. Participants reflected on being positioned as lacking English language skills during elementary school, and during their pre-service teacher education, being criticized for their non-standard Spanish language practices. Because of these negative experiences, participants practiced asset-based pedagogies in their own classrooms; yet, some still prioritized the acquisition of standard Spanish. Findings for the second phase revealed that the CAR project served as (1) a tool for educators to develop critical consciousness, (2) an affinity space that provided ongoing critical professional development that disrupted the deficit framings of the cultural, linguistic, and historical funds of knowledge of U.S. Latina/o/x student communities, and (3) a safe space to build community among SHL educators across the Chicagoland area. The results of this study expand the scarce knowledge base in both Bilingual Education and SHL about the experiences of Latina/o/x students across the PreK-16 educational pipeline and offers implications for changes in Spanish language teacher preparation programs that are centered around humanizing and socially just pedagogies.

description: Dal 2008 il Centro Apice dell’Università degli Studi di Milano conserva le carte di studio del nobile Girolamo Luigi Calvi (1791-1872), studioso celebre soprattutto per aver pubblicato, tra il 1859 e il 1869, i tre volumi delle Notizie sulla vita e sulle opere dei principali architetti scultori e pittori che fiorirono in Milano durante il governo dei Visconti e degli Sforza, la prima storia degli artisti lombardi. L’articolo, tratto dalle ricerche dottorali, rende conto delle novità più salienti contenute nell’incompiuto quarto volume delle Notizie, composto dalle biografie di Bernardino Luini, Giampietrino, Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Cesare da Sesto e Salaino, che Calvi avrebbe voluto pubblicare come naturale seguito del terzo tomo, dedicato a Leonardo da Vinci. Il contributo riflette anche sul metodo di studio di Calvi, ancora legato a un’erudizione di stampo settecentesco, ma con aperture alla ricerca documentaria e al confronto diretto con le opere.

description: Employing tidally enhanced stellar wind, we studied in binaries the effects of metallicity, mass ratio of primary to secondary, tidal enhancement efficiency and helium abundance on the formation of blue hook (BHk) stars in globular clusters (GCs). A total of 28 sets of binary models combined with different input parameters are studied. For each set of binary model, we presented a range of initial orbital periods that is needed to produce BHk stars in binaries. All the binary models could produce BHk stars within different range of initial orbital periods. We also compared our results with the observation in the Teff-logg diagram of GC NGC 2808 and ω Cen. Most of the BHk stars in these two GCs locate well in the region predicted by our theoretical models, especially when C/N-enhanced model atmospheres are considered. We found that mass ratio of primary to secondary and tidal enhancement efficiency have little effects on the formation of BHk stars in binaries, while metallicity and helium abundance would play important roles, especially for helium abundance. Specifically, with helium abundance increasing in binary models, the space range of initial orbital periods needed to produce BHk stars becomes obviously wider, regardless of other input parameters adopted. Our results were discussed with recent observations and other theoretical models.

description: The quantum of heat conductance of ballistic one-dimensional (1D) channels, being gQ=k0T with k0=pi^2*2kB^2/3h (T - temperature, kB - Boltzmann's constant, h - Planck's constant), is an important fundamental constant. While the quantization of the electrical conductance of 1D ballistic conductors has long been experimentally established, a demonstration of the quantization of thermal conductance proved to be much harder. It has already been accomplished for weakly interacting systems of phonons, photons, and electronic Fermi-liquids. Theoretically, however, the quantization must also hold in strongly interacting systems, such as the Fractional Quantum Hall effect (FQHE), where electrons fractionalize into anyons and chargeless quasiparticles such as neutral Majorana fermions. Since the bulk in the FQHE is incompressible, it is not expected to contribute significantly to the heat conductance, which is determined by chiral 1D edge modes. The thermal conductance reflects topological properties of the FQH electronic systems to which the electrical conductance gives no access. Here, we present results of extensive measurements of the heat conductance in 'particle-like' (Laughlin's) and 'hole-like' fractional states. We verify the universal value of the quantum of thermal conductance of the charged fractional modes as well as for chargeless neutral modes. We also prove the validity of the theoretical predictions for the more complex (and less studied) 'hole-like' states. Heat transport measurements open a door to ample information, not easily accessible by conductance measurements.

description: This deliverable describes the role of text mining in the PoliRural project and the technical specifications of Semantic Explorer - the main tool for supporting pilots in the processes of needs gathering and policy assessment. The core semantic model will be built and "trained" on the corpus of EU texts, before being adapted to regional contexts and languages. After several iterations, fine-tuning and testing, the tool will be able to accurately extract the required information from the pre-compiled regional libraries, as well as process survey data gathered at the later stages of the Project. The aim is to create a set of services providing inputs for foresight exercises to assist in the tasks of horizon scanning, needs and challenges analysis, etc. Text Mining (TM) solutions should also serve as a tool to build regional profiles for the process of System Dynamics (SD). In addition to that, the system is intended to collect data from Social Media, in particular opinions and their relationship to various aspects of policies.

description: Homophily, the tendency of individuals to associate with others who share similar traits, has been identified as a major driving force in the formation and evolution of social ties. In many cases, it is not clear if homophily is the result of a socialization process, where individuals change their traits according to the dominance of that trait in their local social networks, or if it results from a selection process, in which individuals reshape their social networks so that their traits match those in the new environment. Here we demonstrate the detailed temporal formation of strong homophily in academic achievements of high school and university students. We analyze a unique dataset that contains information about the detailed time evolution of a friendship network of 6,000 students across 42 months. Combining the evolving social network data with the time series of the academic performance (GPA) of individual students, we show that academic homophily is a result of selection: students prefer to gradually reorganize their social networks according to their performance levels, rather than adapting their performance to the level of their local group. We find no signs for a pull effect, where a social environment of good performers motivates bad students to improve their performance. We are able to understand the underlying dynamics of grades and networks with a simple model. The lack of a social pull effect in classical educational settings could have important implications for the understanding of the observed persistence of segregation, inequality and social immobility in societies.

description: Most studies tackling hysteresis identification in the technical literature follow white-box approaches, i.e. they rely on the assumption that measured data obey a specific hysteretic model. Such an assumption may be a hard requirement to handle in real applications, since hysteresis is a highly individualistic nonlinear behaviour. The present paper adopts a black-box approach based on nonlinear state-space models to identify hysteresis dynamics. This approach is shown to provide a general framework to hysteresis identification, featuring flexibility and parsimony of representation. Nonlinear model terms are constructed as a multivariate polynomial in the state variables, and parameter estimation is performed by minimising weighted least-squares cost functions. Technical issues, including the selection of the model order and the polynomial degree, are discussed, and model validation is achieved in both broadband and sine conditions. The study is carried out numerically by exploiting synthetic data generated via the Bouc-Wen equations.
Indicators of Stress & Reproduction for Management Considerations in Abundant Deer & Endangered Ferrets

description: Increasing urbanization and changing landscapes result in wildlife facing challenges that humans try to manage. In over-abundant wildlife, the goal is to reduce population size, whereas in threatened or highly inbred populations, the goal is to increase populations and maximize fitness. I studied two North American mammals with disparate conservation goals and management concerns – the abundant white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; deer) and the endangered black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes; ferret). Deer populations are high, especially in suburban habitats where they over-browse plants and can negatively interact with humans. Ferret populations are small and threatened with extinction. They require extensive management and ex situ breeding efforts for reintroduction across wild habitats. Using non-invasive laboratory and field-based assays, I examined behavioral and physiological indicators of stress and reproduction to understand factors contributing towards fitness and to inform wildlife management. First, I studied hair cortisol concentrations of deer from managed and unmanaged Chicagoland forest preserves. Urbanization does not influence deer stress if animals have adequate resources. Culling as a management strategy also maintains herd health and reduces nutritional stress. Second, I examined how the lack of mate selection in ferret breeding programs influences fitness. Captive ferrets are paired via pedigree, missing out on important mate exploration and odor communication that occurs in the wild. To study mate preference and success, I examined traits that influence both odor and fitness – behavior, endocrine function, and gut microbiota. Ferrets were given different soiled odor cues from potential mates. Scent investigation, the most prominent behavior, was highest for females closer to estrus and males with elevated testosterone levels. There was no preference for specific individuals. Ferrets likely prefer additional traits that we did not measure, and they may aim to seek out multiple mates. Gut microbial diversity increased with age, especially after the first year when ferrets are paired. Increasing opportunities for natural behaviors and social interactions may benefit ferret microbial health and mating success. Management for both species should consider hormonal and behavioral indicators of fitness as invaluable insights into the physiological and psychological state of individuals and populations.
Uncovering the Governance of Markets in the New Economy

description: With the emergence of a network-economic value creation context (Benkler 2006; Sydow et.al. 2016), we are increasingly dealing with intangible, collaborative transaction infrastructures in which “information/data is used as a commodity that can be used simultaneously by many and is freely accessible” (cf. Hutter 2023: xx). In this context, "knowledge artifacts" (European Commission 2020: 17) emerge from an “intermediate relationship between production, consumption and work” (cf. Hutter 2023: xx). These idiosyncratic production contexts form specific rule arrangements that drive the structural change of markets and are crucial for the welfare of a new economy (Benkler 2006).

description: Silica-based anchored-membrane waveguides (T-Guides) are fabricated and characterized from the visible to infrared with streak imaging. It is numerically shown that the T-Guides can have wideband single-mode and single-polarization (SMSP) properties over a span of 2.6 octaves. Experimentally, a polarization-dependent loss difference of up to 90 dB/cm is measured between orthogonal polarizations, and a record SMSP window of >1.27 octaves is observed, limited only by the available measurement equipment. These measurements make a strong case for T-Guides for SMSP photonics, particularly on high-index materials such as our previous demonstration on silicon.

description: We describe the execution and data reduction of the European Southern Observatory Large Programme "Quasars and their absorption lines: a legacy survey of the high-redshift universe with VLT/XSHOOTER" (hereafter `XQ-100'). XQ-100 has produced and made publicly available an homogeneous and high-quality sample of echelle spectra of 100 QSOs at redshifts z~3.5-4.5 observed with full spectral coverage from 315 to 2500 nm at a resolving power ranging from R~4000 to 7000, depending on wavelength. The median signal-to-noise ratios are 33, 25 and 43, as measured at rest-frame wavelengths 1700, 3000 and 3600 Angstrom, respectively. This paper provides future users of XQ-100 data with the basic statistics of the survey, along with details of target selection, data acquisition and data reduction. The paper accompanies the public release of all data products, including 100 reduced spectra. XQ-100 is the largest spectroscopic survey to date of high-redshift QSOs with simultaneous rest-frame UV/optical coverage, and as such enables a wide range of extragalactic research, from cosmology and galaxy evolution to AGN astrophysics.

description: The most frequent malignant tumor in female dogs, mammary tumors make for around half of all neoplasms (Dileep Kumar et al., 2014). Canine mammary tumor (CMT) is a tumor outgrowth that occurs inside or outside of the mammary glands, mostly in the female dogs (Zheng et al., 2017). CMT can be benign or malignant. Many studies show that almost 50% of the CMT could be malignant tumors that can be fatal because of their invasiveness and metastasis property which can disseminate to other parts of the body (Valdivia et al., 2021 ; Nosalova et al., 2024). CMT is a chronic inflammatory disease where cell division becomes aberrant that leads to tumor outgrowth. Metastasis, cell invasiveness and chemotherapeutic resistances are the cardinal features responsible for making this disease difficult to treat (de Souza et al., 2009). Lack of specific treatment regimen against the CMT is also a great issue in their treatments. Making a good companion of a human, dogs can be exposed to all the nutritional and environmental factors which a human faces which makes spontaneous cancer in dogs could be the best model to study human cancer (Khanna et al., 2006). Understanding and knowledge generated in the CMT can be used to understand human cancer as well as to identify the suitable treatment regimen. In our present article we discuss the etiology, epidemiology prevention and treatments as well as recent advances in research and diagnosis aspects of the CMT (Kwon et al., 2023)

Firing and Feasting: Examining Porcelain Production and Consumption of Early Second Millennium East Asia
Creators: name: Dennison, Rory Allen
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Before the expansion of European interests into East Asia in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, a maritime network was established between Asian imperial powers and Southeast Asian polities that connected artisans, merchants, chiefs, farmers, and foragers together and extended from Korea as far as to the African coast. Furthermore, this Early Historic period (including the Song, Yuan, and Early Ming Dynasties) was a time of important developments that set the stage for later exchange systems that have led to a globalized world. Given the size and complexity of this system, this research undertakes a scalar approach, looking at local, regional, and interregional systems, to explain the processes involved. One important marker that highlights this exchange is porcelain and other tradeware ceramics. This research considers both production and distribution of tradeware in this network - by examining polities in the Philippines which traded for and received products and kiln locations in Fujian, China which produced them - through the comparison of chemical data obtained through Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as well as stylistic analysis of ceramic tradeware remains. Contrasting how tradeware vessels were obtained, distributed, and used within and between three Philippine polities (Manila, Cebu, and Tanjay) has highlighted the different political structures and means by which individuals engaged with the system of exchange. Secondly, this research examines the differentiation and overlap of kiln sites from southern China (including Lulin, Gou Tou Shan, Hou Bi Shan, Hou Lou Shon, and Zhangzhou wares). This research demonstrates the potential of a chemical analysis approach, even outside of a traditional sourcing study, and produces results which show the interaction of kilns and polities within a larger regional and interregional framework. The identification of several grouping patterns across socio-economic levels, within and between the polities, and at kiln sites themselves is investigated and provides data for future work examining ceramics and exchange in Southeast Asia. Finally, by looking at sherds collected from habitation contexts in the Philippines and from ceramics obtained from a worker’s village for the kiln production sites at Hou Bi Shan and Hou Lou Shan, this research connects individuals to the archaeological past.
