Agriculture and citadel in the Bronze Age Aegean: the view from western Anatolia by Maltas, T

“…In the Late Chalcolithic, potentially communal and highly visible extra-household storage may have been used to maintain cooperative relationships between small households in order to meet acute labour demands at key points in the agricultural year. The adoption of the longhouse as the basic socio-economic unit in EB I-II settlements was likely associated with more extended family households capable of achieving greater autonomy in agricultural production. …”

Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…<br> Towards identifying possible environmental controlling factors (climate, vegetation, rock lithology) and quantifying annual fluxes of dissolved Mg isotopic signatures in large Arctic rivers located in the continuous permafrost zone, here we measured hydrochemical and Mg isotope compositions of the Lena River main channel and its various tributaries over different seasons of the year. In general, we did not find evidence of any statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05) correlation between δ²⁶Mg and main physico-geographical parameters of the river watersheds (temperature, permafrost, type of vegetation). …”
