The last glaciers in part of the South East Grampians

In an area of 400 sq km in the south east Grampians including Glen Esk, Glen Clova and part of Glen Muick the limits of former corrie glaciers, valley glaciers and a plateau ice‐cap with associated outlet glaciers have been mapped. The limits of the former corrie and valley glaciers are often clearly defined by end moraines, boulder‐strewn ground, the down‐valley termination of hummocky moraines and/or the limits of meltwater channel systems, while in suitable locations outwash terraces usually occur. The glaciers are considered to have formed during the Loch Lomond (pollen zone III) Readvance, when new glaciers developed in upland sources following complete ice‐sheet decay. The readvance was accompanied in granite areas by the formation of large solifluction lobes, these lobes being found only outside the mapped ice limits. The interpretations presented are not in accord with those recently given by D. E. Sugden for the western Cairngorms.

北朝中央护军制度考索

孝文帝官制改革时设立了护军将军。其职能与魏晋南朝护军“掌外军”（宫城外禁卫军）有所不同,主要是“掌四中及诸关津尉”,四中即东西南北四中郎将,四中府分布于京师洛阳外围,负责拱卫京师;诸关津尉除京师周围关津外还当包括全国关津。此制实乃唐代卫禁（卫宫、关禁）之制的滥觞。由于北魏后期京师特殊的政治地理位置,拱卫京师的四中府显得特别重要。东魏迁邺后,在京师部城外围仍设四中府。自宣武帝末年以来四中府“奴隶领军”,东魏继承之,北齐时偶见护军,乃权宜之制。由于禁卫武官制度的变化及京畿大都督制度的影响,北齐末年,作为禁卫长官之一的护军将军正式被废罢。

The Maritime Cultural Landscape of Northern Patagonia

This article is a contribution to the study of the indigenous navigation and its boats in the region of northern Patagonia. This article also aims to contribute to the understanding of indigenous navigation practices and technologies and their origins from prehistoric times to the mid-twentieth century. It presents and discusses the concept of Westerdahl’s Maritime Cultural Landscape in relation to other landscape concepts. This model is applied to northern Patagonia in order to discuss if it is possible to speak of a true maritime culture in the region. For this purpose, archaeological, historical and ethnographic data are presented in an integrative and innovative methodology for the discipline. Finally, the Maritime Cultural Landscape model will allow the integration of aquatic and terrestrial landscapes as routes traveled by native inhabitants of northern Patagonia and southern Chile, and propose an important and diversified maritime, river and lake tradition.
