The excavation of an Iron Age settlement at Thorpe Thewles, Cleveland, 1980-2
Creators: name: Heslop, David
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2008

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 65
description: Excavation on the site of a cropmark enclosure revealed a complex sequence of occupation from Middle Iron Age to 1st century AD with evidence of landscape organization before and after this period. The site produced the largest collections of Iron Age finds, animal remains, and carbonized seeds recovered from northern England to date, together with a wide range of structures, enclosures, and boundaries. The evidence shows that these fertile lowlands were undergoing the social, economic and agricultural developments seen in the south; early introduction of the rotary quern, spelt, and of complex nucleated settlement types. A dozen thermoluminescence dates were obtained. Au(adp)
Conscious Rap Music: Movement Music Revisited A Qualitative Study of Conscious Rappers and Activism
Creators: name: Mohammed-Akinyela, Ife
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study is to explore how conscious rap is used as a form of activism. Interviews of conscious rappers based in Atlanta, GA were used to understand this relationship. In order to complete this investigation, ten unsigned conscious rappers were given a series of questions to explore their involvement as activist; some of these artist were also recruited based on affiliations with political organizations based in Atlanta, GA. By gathering interviews from conscious rappers who consider their music as a form of activism, scholars of African American Studies may further understand the role of music and political activism when mobilizing the African American and minority communities.
Early post-medieval vessel glass in England, c 1500--1670
Creators: name: Thorniley-Walker, Jane
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2003

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 132
description: This illustrated guide is the first comprehensive classification of vessel glass found in England between 1500-1670. During the early post-medieval period, vessel glass was transformed from a rare luxury item to a medium that was used by the wider population. Recent years have seen an increase in the archaeological excavation of post-medieval sites and a growing interest in the material culture of the period. The book provides a clear and accessible coverage of vessel forms and individual types -- with an indication of their date range, provenance and a description. Each form is illustrated with an excavated example and there is a general summary of the types with reconstruction drawings at the end. The Research Report also addresses how post-medieval glass should be studied, summarises current information on the production and importation of vessels in England and provides a social context for glass use.

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 66
description: Ramparts, ditches, a road, and a well represent a sequence of rapid change (?series of forts) not earlier than AD 60/5. The 'small town' began developing from c AD 120 with the large timber courtyard mansio and houses along the London-Colchester road. Replacement in stone of the mansio came in 130, and one wing was fired in mid-3rd century. The baths and circular lacomicum may predate the earliest mansio. At about 150 a well was the focus of a series of ?ritual shafts with much faunal material. Town defences were built c 160-75 on land cleared of commercial buildings, but were levelled by c 220. There was widespread burning at end of 2nd century. N of the mansio was 2nd century occupation, 3rd century burials and pits, and a hoard of jet jewellery (first half of 4th). F B

description: Little is known about the response behavior of parents whose children are ex-posed to an early-life shock. We interpret the prenatal exposure of the Austrian 1986 cohort to radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident as a negative hu-man capital shock and examine their parents' response behavior. To identify causal effects, we can rely on exogenous variation in the exposure to radioactive fallout (over time and) between communities due to geographic differences in precipitation at the time of the accident. Our design-based approach (which ac-counts for culling effects) provides robust empirical evidence for compensating investment behavior. Families with low socioeconomic status reduce their family size, while families with higher status respond with reduced maternal labor sup-ply. Our results urge caution in the interpretation of estimates of the long-term effects of early-life shocks on children. These estimates should only be interpreted as reduced-form estimates, and one has to account for parental response behav-ior to reach a deeper understanding on the relationship between early-life shocks and the formation of human capital. In the case of our application, we can inter-pret the estimates as the lower bound of the biological effect. For exposed chil-dren from higher socioeconomic backgrounds, there are no detrimental effects discernable. In contrast, exposed children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds have significantly worse human capital outcomes as young adults. This suggests that compensating investment by parents with higher socioeconomic status is relatively more effective.

Racial Formation in a "Post" Racial Society: How Are College Students being Prepared for Tomorrow?
Creators: name: Trice, Kinyatta
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Post racialism has emerged as a new racial project that could impact the distribution of resources in society. The resources that stand to be impacted by this ideology are social reform policies, social capital availability, access to professional and academic opportunities. This study explored how post racial ideology impacted the professional development of college students between the ages of 18-30. Students were recruited through flyers and snowball sampling. Ten students participated in semi-structured interviews that lasted from 30-60 minutes. Interviews were the sole source of data for this study. A qualitative case study methods was used to gather information in this study. Data was analyzed using a two level thematic coding approach. An analysis of the data revealed categories and properties related to participant?s professional development experiences in relation to race. Three general conclusions were drawn from findings. Implications for policy, theory, study limitations, and recommendations for future research are provided.

description: We study the effect of the cycle on the health of newborn babies using 30 years of birth-certificate data for Spain. We find that babies are born healthier when the local unemployment rate is high. Although fertility is lower during recessions, the effect on health is not the result of selection, since the main result survives the in-clusion of parents’ fixed-effects. Analysis of National Health Survey data shows that fertility-age women engage in healthier behaviors during recessions (in terms of exercise, sleep, smoking and drinking) and report better overall health. We con-clude that maternal health is a plausible mediating channel.

Stone axe studies, volume 2. The petrology of prehistoric stone implements from the British Isles
Creators: name: Anon
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2008

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 67
description: The first editor provides an introduction (1-10) recording that 7625 axes are covered by this volume, 4079 of them assignable to petrological groups. M B Fenton & R J A Travis (12-13) describe 'A method for taking petrological samples from stone implements' (core drilling does least damage and allows multiple analyses). Sixteen papers on regional topics follow. R V Davis, Hilary Howard & I F Smith (14-20) contribute 'The petrological identification of stone implements from south-west England: sixth report'. A G Woodcock, D B Kelly & A R Woolley (21-33) cover south-east England, while the editors treat London and Middlesex (34-5). Barbara Green takes East Anglia (second report, 36-40; W A Cummins & W R G Moore (41-4) south-east Midlands; the editors (45-8) east Midlands (3rd report). F W Shotton covers the west Midlands (third report, 49-51). Moving north, Patricia Phillips, W A Cummins & L Keen (52-9) give the second report on Yorkshire implements, while G R Coope, D J Robinson & F E S Roe (60-6) cover implements from Lancashire and Cheshire. An interim report on Isle of Man pieces is provided by G R Coope & L S Garrad (67-70), while C I Fell & R V Davis (71-7) treat the Cumbrian material. The north-east is taken by W A Cummins & A F Harding (78-84) and Scotland by P R Ritchie & J G Scott (85-91), with M B Fenton (92-132) reporting the shaft-hole pieces (battle-axes and axe-hammers) from Scotland. Wales is covered by C H Houlder (133-6) and Ireland by E L Francis, P J Francis & J Preston (137-40). About half the volume is taken up by the identification lists and distribution maps. A general conclusion is that most of the implements originate from deliberately exploited rock sources, with random pebbles (including glacial erratics) used opportunistically.

Subjects: subject: 610

description: This paper explores the causal pathway by which poor fetal health translates into reducing educational attainment and earnings as an adult. Using insights from the medical literature, I decompose low birth weight infants into two distinct subtypes: a symmetric type, which is characterized by cognitive deficits, and an asymmetric type, which exhibits little to no cognitive problems. Using data from a longitudinal survey of newborns, I establish three results: First, there is empirical evidence of brain sparing in the asymmetric subtype, but not in the symmetric subtype. Sec-ond, despite differences in cognitive impairment, both subtypes exhibit similar im-pairment to physical health. And finally, there is evidence that the causes and tim-ing of onset during pregnancy are different for asymmetric and symmetric growth restriction. The results indicate that differentiating between these subtypes may other new opportunities to identify the underlying casual relationships between health and human capital development, as well as uncovering the “black box” mechanism behind the fetal origins hypothesis. These results also have broad im-plications for the timing of policy interventions aimed at pregnant women.

description: This paper investigates the potential of maternal and infant health programs to improve the life expectancy of women and children. We study a program trialed in 1931-1933 in seven Swedish medical districts before it was rolled out at the na-tional level in 1937, digitizing and assembling individual data from parish records and birth and death registers and aggregate data from annual reports of medical districts. We estimate short run program effects on (first generation) maternal and infant mortality. In addition, we track individuals exposed to the program together with unexposed individuals from neighboring birth-cohorts so to establish whether they survive to age 40, an age by which maternal mortality of second-generation offspring is determined, and age 75, an age by which 35% of the sample cohorts had died. We find substantial and statistically significant impacts of exposure to the infant program on infant survival and on the probability of surviving to ages 5, 40 and 75, and these impacts are not differentiated by gender. The estimates sug-gest that the impact on life expectancy is largely driven by infant survival. The pro-gram narrowed health inequalities. In particular its impact was systematically larger among children of younger mothers and women who gave birth out of wed-lock, who also exhibit higher baseline rates of infant mortality. There is no evi-dence of endogenous fertility responses or of selection into the program on a range of relevant observables. The evidence is consistent with parents reinforcing treatment by the public health intervention. We are unable to identify any impacts of program components delivered to mothers before birth on either maternal or infant mortality.

description: We study the impact of the Fukushima disaster on environmental concerns and well‐being in Germany and other industrialized countries, more than 5,000 miles distant. While we do not find evidence that subjective well‐being was significantly affected — not in Germany, Switzerland, or the UK — the disaster significantly increased environmental concerns by about 20% among Germans. Empirical evidence suggests that the operating channel through which the disaster affected environmental concerns was primarily through the perceived risk of a similar meltdown of domestic reactors. Additionally, more Germans considered themselves as very risk averse after Fukushima. Drastic policy action in Germany permanently shut down the oldest reactors, implemented the phase‐out of the remaining ones, and proclaimed the transition to renewables. This energy policy turnaround was largely supported by the German population and contributed to the subsequent significant decrease in environmental concerns, particularly among women, Green Party supporters, and people living close to the oldest reactors.

description: The final volume in the Alcester excavation series presents the results of five excavations on three sites in the northern part of the extramural area to the south of the defended area, which revealed evidence of occupation during the Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods, and in particular the origins of the Roman town from a postulated fort, strongly indicated by metal objects and ceramics with military associations from the earliest phases. Occupation continued from the early AD 60s throughout the Roam period. The report describes the large amounts of finds recovered, including pottery, tile, fired clay, glass, coins, copper alloy, iron, lead, stone objects, worked bone, slag, and building material. along with large faunal and environmental assemblages at the `Explosion' site. Several Roman burials were discovered, mostly of children. The volume concludes with a discussion of the origins of the town and development of the area. Includes French and German summaries.

description: The article analyzes to which extent residential proximity from an emergency hospital affects the probability of surviving an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The critical time aspect in AMI treatment provides an ideal application for evaluating this proximity outcome hypothesis. Previous studies have encountered empirical difficulties relating to potential endogenous health-based spatial sorting of involved agents and data limitations on out-of-hospital mortality. Using policy-induced variation in hospital distance arising from plausibly exogenous emergency hospital closures in the highly regulated Swedish health care sector, and data on all AMI deaths in Sweden over two decades, estimation results show a clear, robust and gradually declining probability of surviving an AMI of about two percentage points (three percent) per additional ten kilometers distance from a hospital. Results further show that spatial sorting and sample selection from out-of-hospital mortality are likely to significantly attenuate the distance effect unless accounted for.

description: Macroeconomic downturns can have an important impact on the availability of informal and formal long-term care. This paper investigates how the market for informal care changed during and after the Great Recession in Europe. We use data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, which includes a rich set of variables covering waves before and after the Great Recession. We find evidence of an increase in the availability of informal care and a reduction in the use of formal health services (doctor visits and hospital stays) after the economic downturn when controlling for year and country fixed effects. This trend is mainly driven by changes in care provision of individuals not cohabiting with the care recipient. We also find a small negative association between old-age health and crisis severity. The results are robust to the inclusion of individual characteristics, individual-specific effects and region-specific time trends.

Silence is Not Golden: Attitudes Towards Suicide in the African American Community
Creators: name: Wright, LaTrice
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the opinions of African American college students as they relate to suicide. A questionnaire was distributed to 92 individuals in a computer classroom setting. Their responses were then analyzed to investigate whether ethnic identity salience influenced the students? perspectives of suicide. Regression analysis revealed that ethnic identity salience did not influence acceptability and normality of suicide in the African American students. Analysis also demonstrated that ethnic identity salience did not effect whether the African American students viewed suicide as being related to mental or moral illness. Seventeen of those who took the questionnaire also participated in interviews. The interviews allowed the respondents to voice their opinions on suicide in the African American community. Nine key themes were discovered during the interviews. Suggestions for suicide prevention and interventions that are more effective, and the directions for future literature on the subject, are discussed.

description: Excavations in a large block of land adjacent to Deansway, Worcester, revealed a deep sequence of deposits dating between the early Roman period and the late post-medieval period. The excavation produced a substantial assemblage of artefactual and ecofactual material. There was some evidence for pre-Roman Iron Age occupation, including a horse burial. The excavation lay within the Roman settlement at Worcester; the first- to mid-second-century occupation evidence was dispersed and although some military equipment was recovered, no evidence was found to confirm the existence of a fort at Worcester. From the later second century onwards, occupation was more intensive and there was evidence for intensive animal penning and for ironworking. From the early fourth century excavated area was used as agricultural land and for a small cemetery; there was limited occupation evidence between the fifth and eighth centuries. A substantial rampart was recorded to the north of the main excavated area, constructed in the late ninth to early tenth centuries and identified as the defences of the burh of Worcester. Domestic buildings, yards and pits were recorded in the area inside the defences and the evidence suggested that the area was occupied by urban craftsmen. A single sherd of samian pottery with a fragmentary runic inscription was recovered from a later medieval deposit. Parts of the Anglo-Saxon defences were slighted in the post-conquest period and subsequently the entire excavation area lay within blocks of tenement plots aligned on two principal streets. Although structural remains of buildings along the street frontages did not survive well, the complete plan of an eleventh- or twelfth-century stone first-floor hall was recorded. By the mid-thirteenth century the entire area was densely occupied and a wide range of urban crafts was identified. Part of the area became disused at this time, and subsequently a substantial bronze foundry was established in this area. The report contains extensive analyses of the artefactual, animal bone and plant macrofossil assemblages, and includes thematic discussions on aspects of the evidence; site narratives; and numerous separately authored specialist reports on artefacts, ecofacts, soils, and dating (including radiocarbon dates). Includes French and German summaries.

description: This paper presents a unified theory of human capital with both health capital and, what we term, skill capital endogenously determined within the model. By considering joint investment in health capital and in skill capital, the model highlights similarities and differences in these two important components of human capital. Health is distinct from skill: health is important to longevity, provides direct utility, provides time that can be devoted to work or other uses, is valued later in life, and eventually declines, no matter how much one invests in it (a dismal fact of life). Lifetime earnings are strongly multiplicative in skill and health, so that investment in skill capital raises the return to investment in health capital, and vice versa. The theory provides a conceptual framework for empirical and theoretical studies aimed at understanding the complex relationship between education and health, and generates several new testable predictions.

description: This deliverable provides an overview of the national policy landscape related to migrant irregularity for 15 countries in the form of Country Briefs. Briefs are provided for the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States. 

The Briefs are drawn from more extensive analysis conducted within MIrreM Country Profiles, which themselves will be analysed comparatively in a subsequent Deliverable (D3.3). The purpose of the Briefs is to provide a concise synopsis of the main policy issues of relevance for the irregular migration situation in each respective country, with a focus on developments since 2010. They are not foreseen to be an exhaustive representation of the entire policy and irregular migration situation in each country, but rather provide a snapshot of the most relevant issues to date, by each national rapporteur's assessment. Each Brief provides a short overview of the recent (since 2010) policies of relevance for irregular migration, in particular the respective country's irregular migration-related policy priorities, stakeholders, recent policy measures, main turning points in policy development, policy impacts, and challenges in implementation. Moreover, each Brief outlines the main types of migrant irregularity that emerge and the pathways into and out of irregularity in each country, including regularisations as relevant. 

Annexed to this Deliverable is also an overview of the legal and policy frameworks highlighted as relevant for migrant irregularity in each respective country.

description: This paper investigates two mechanisms through which education may affect cognitive skills in adolescence: the role of instructional quantity and the timing of instruction with respect to age. To identify causal effects, I exploit a school reform carried out at the state level in Germany as a quasi-natural experiment: between 2001 and 2007, the academic-track high school (Gymnasium) was reduced by one year in most of Germany's federal states, leaving the overall curriculum unchanged. To investigate the impact of this educational change on students' cognitive abilities, I conduct two separate analyses: first, I exploit the variation in the curriculum taught to same-aged students at academic-track high school over time and across states to identify the effect of the increase in class hours on students' crystallized and fluid intelligence scores. Using rich data on seventeen year-old adolescents from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study, the estimates show that fluid intelligence remained unaffected, while crystallized intelligence improved for male students. Second, I compare students' competences in their final year of high school using data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The results suggest that students affected by the reform catch up with their non-affected counterparts in terms of their competences by the time of graduation. However, they do not provide any evidence for the timing of instruction to matter in cognitive skill formation. Overall, secondary education therefore seems to impact students' cognitive skills in adolescence especially through instructional time and not so much through age-distinct timing of instruction.

Joseph Lowery and the Resurrection of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
Creators: name: Gilliard, Deric
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Joseph Echols Lowery, a key founding member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, led the organization for twenty years. This study explores how Lowery, who took over during an era when many considered the civil rights movement dead, reenergized the SCLC, became a leading black spokesman who challenged Congress, presidents and the Justice Department around issues of voting rights and social justice, while consistently questioning U.S. hegemonic international and domestic policies around jobs and poverty. This research further investigates how Lowery fought for the continuation of affirmative action in the midst of an oftentimes hostile environment and waged campaigns against multi-national companies that discriminated against blacks and minorities. This qualitative empowerment study examines how and why Lowery and the SCLC became the leading non-Muslim influence on the 1995 Million Man March and his role in affirming women leaders and their initiatives.

description: This paper investigates the short-term effects of a reduction in the length of high school on students' personality traits using a school reform carried out at the state level in Germany as a quasi-natural experiment. Starting in 2001, academic-track high school (Gymnasium) was reduced from nine to eight years in most of Germany's federal states, leaving the overall curriculum unchanged. This enabled students to obtain a university entrance qualification (Abitur) after a total of only 12 rather than 13 years of schooling. We exploit the variation in the length of academic-track high school over time and across states to identify the effect of schooling on students' Big Five personality traits and on their locus of control. Using rich data on adolescents and young adults from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study, our estimates show that shortening high school caused students on average to be more extroverted and less emotionally stable. Our estimates point to important heterogeneous effects. In addition to differences between East and West Germany, we find that male students and students from disrupted families showed stronger personality changes following the reform: they became more agreeable and more extroverted, respectively. We conclude that the educational system plays an important role in shaping adolescents' personality traits.

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 68
description: Papers from the 4th joint CBA/DUA international conference, 1986, take the theme that the AS resettlement of many Roman towns followed a long period of desertion. Richard Hodges (1-7) in 'The rebirth of towns in the early Middle Ages' uses archaeology, anthropology, and history to propose a typology of urbanism in 1st millennium AD. David Hill (8-15) in 'Unity and diversity - a framework for the study of European towns' demonstrates that the growth of towns in England, AD 600-1066, parallels developments in the rest of Europe. Brian Hobley (69-82) reviews the identification of the twin mid-Saxon settlements of London in 'Lundenwic and Lundenburh: two cities rediscovered', and Alan Vince traces trade from mid-7th century in 'The economic basis of Anglo-Saxon London' (83-92). For 'Ipswich' Keith Wade (93-100) summarizes the evidence for the Mid and Late Saxon town from early 7th century, particularly the important pottery industry. Mark Brisbane (101-8) reviews recent discoveries in 'Hamwic (Saxon Southampton): an 8th century port and production centre'. T J Strickland (109-18) identifies 9th/10th century re-use of Roman buildings in 'The Roman heritage of Chester: the survival of the buildings of Deva after the Roman period', and A T Thacker (119-24) examines 'Early medieval Chester: the historical background'. R A Hall (125-32) in 'York 700-1050' traces the development of Jorvik from 8th/9th century Eoforwic and the redevelopment of the RB colonia. F B. Remaining sections of the volume treat towns in Italy, Gaul, and Scandinavia.

The archaeology of Roman London, volume 1: The upper Walbrook valley in the Roman period
Creators: name: Maloney, Catharine

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2008

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 69
description: Traces the history of the upper Walbrook valley in the city of London from prehistoric to late Roman times. Excavations have provided evidence for the early development and changing courses of the Walbrook streams. The valley was reclaimed in the late 1st-early 2nd century AD by the Romans who built at least two major NNE-SSW streets through it. Buildings, mostly constructed of timbers and clay, were erected on the reclaimed land in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. It is suggested that the valley became an industrial zone with evidence for glassworking, leatherworking and iron smithing. Lack of maintenance of the drains meant that the area became progressively wetter and was gradually abandoned. Further drainage work in the Saxon and medieval period allowed the area to be resettled and it again became an industrial zone. The site evidence from six excavations in the valley and a multidisciplinary environmental analysis for one of the sites (15-35 Copthall Avenue) are included. Summaries of the finds and dendrochronological evidence are also provided. M H
