Studies of the pollen characteristics and the taxonomic significance of Impatiens from the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau
...
Published in Folia Horticulturae
Impatiens is rich in germplasm resources, with more than 260 species in China. A study on the pollen micromorphology of Impatiens by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the pollen characteristics were richly diverse, and there was some correlation among the characteristics. In addition, the micromorphological index can be used for an eff...
Nouvelles perspectives sur les zones périurbaines à Pompéi (Italie): une approche archéologique et micromorphologique de...
Les fouilles françaises menées dans la zone périurbaine et funéraire de Porta Nocera à Pompéi (Italie) ont été l’occasion d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur les processus de formation des couches archéologiques de cette ville dont les sols ont été fossilisés par l’éruption du Vésuve (fouille Porta Nocera, W. Van Adringa dir.). Dans la zone de la n...
Choisy-au-Bac (Oise), Sect. 1 – D2 à D4 : une fosse mésolithique, reconnaissance des traits pédologiques et méthodologie...
Dans le cadre du projet d’aménagement du canal Seine-Nord-Europe, une série de diagnostics a été réalisée sur la commune de Choisy-au-Bac dans l’Oise en 2022. À cette occasion, une fosse cylindrique, à surcreusement central, a été mise au jour (UE 2 042). Sa datation radiocarbone est de 6690+/- 30 BP, soit 5666-5537 cal BC. (Beta-647423). Ce type d...
Présentation de quelques structures atypiques en contexte humide : les exemples des sites de Waziers (59) « le Bas-Terro...
Ces dernières années, la fouille de plusieurs sites en contexte humide dans le Nord et le Pas-de-Calais a permis la découverte de vestiges aux caractéristiques similaires, mais dont l’usage demeure incertain. Ces structures, à la morphologie atypique, ont pu être observées dans un secteur géographique couvrant le Douaisis, l’Artois et la Gohelle. S...
Dark soil on sand dunes as a result of terrain levelling and tillage at the early medieval settlement of Mikulčice, Mora...
At the early medieval Great Moravian site of Mikulčice-Valy (8th-10th century AD), a metre-thick set of anthropogenic horizons of dark color mixed with sand from the local dunes were found during rescue archaeological excavations. Archaeologists usually consider similar finds to be cultural layers because they are full of artifacts and ecofacts. It...
The Building Blocks of Circular Economies: Rethinking Prehistoric Turf Architecture Through Archaeological and Architect...
Published in Open Archaeology
Research into prehistoric buildings in northwest Europe has identified the ubiquitous use of turf. The study first introduces direct and proxy evidence for the material’s detection in the field, then analyses individual case studies to demonstrate how this locally available and renewable material shaped buildings and building practices. Turf, grown...
Study on the physicochemical properties of Chinese PVA fibers: Toward low-cost cement-based composites
Published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) reinforced by Japanese Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber showed excellent tensile ductility, which attracted much attention in the field of civil engineering in recent years, but the application was still limited by cost. There were quite a few kinds of low-priced PVA fibers in China, with a tremendous differenc...
Critical Geoarchaeology: From Depositional Processes to the Sociopolitics of Earthen Life
In the last several decades, geoarchaeological research and practice have moved well beyond their foundational concerns for site formation processes and the stratigraphic integrity of artifact associations, developing significant orientations toward archaeological and social theory. This review focuses on four overlapping research emphases that hav...
Study on the mechanical properties and energy dissipation characteristics of concrete subjected to high strain rate and ...
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
Marine structures, such as cross-sea bridges, port constructions, and offshore drilling platforms, are not only subjected to sulfate erosion, but also to various dynamic loads. Analyzing the damage evolution process of concrete under sulfate erosion and impact loads is the key to improving the lifespan of concrete. In order to study the damage evol...
