-graphy: The Remains of a British Discipline

Within Britain, geography as a discipline has been criticized recently for failing either to add to or teach knowledge about the world at large. Instead it has concentrated first at university and then in schools on spatial social science, with examples drawn overwhelmingly from the white Western world. The recent history of geography is reviewed to see why this should be the case. The end of regional integration, the end of the idiographic, and the divorce of physical and human geography are lamented. The ignorance of current students regarding world affairs is demonstrated. Wider influences on these trends such as the end of empire are discussed. The plight of other academic attempts to understand overseas cultures, such as area studies, is also examined. The paper concludes that for the sake of our social responsibility to education in its broadest sense, as much as for the sake of our disciplinary vested interests, we have to reinvest in integrating physical and human geography in regional settings, as our part of academe's response to the threat to area studies.     

古迹遗址的文化形象再现——对古迹遗址展示利用形式的思考

我国现存大多数不可移动文物饱经历史沧桑,有的失去了原有的使用功能,有的甚至连主体建筑也不复存在,而古迹遗址是构成我国古代文明史迹的主体,年代久远、地域广阔、类型众多、结构复杂.特别是城池、楼阙、宫殿、庙宇、街市、里坊等遗址,作为历史文化遗产的重要代表,反映了当时城市建设、建筑艺术的水平,也见证了社会变迁和自然变化.     

The Ethics Minefield: Issues of responsibility in learning and research

Google Glass was deployed in an Urban Studies field course to gather videographic data for team-based student research projects. We evaluate the potential for wearable computing technology such as Glass, in combination with other mobile computing devices, to enhance reflexive research skills, and videography in particular, during field research. The utility as well as the limitations of Google Glass are discussed, including its actual and potential application for teaching and data gathering purposes in the field. As such, this article constitutes one of the first instances of evaluating Google Glass as a social science research tool.     

香港的青铜时代及其分段

Interpretations of Prehistoric Boat Remains

The simple assembly methods and long-unpractised boatbuilding and seamanship skills waiting to be discovered from those few shattered remains of British prehistoric boats make practical interpretation of their original form and function both a fascinating mental exercise and a quagmire for any tempted to publish their thoughts. Some contemporary views are reconsidered and in the spirit of scientific exploration others are offered to promote further debate.

Degradation of Archaeological Remains by Shipworm

The marine borer, known as shipworm, has long been known for their degradation of wooden constructions in the marine environment. This review presents the results from a variety of experiments conducted at the National Museum of Denmark throughout the past five years dealing with the in situ preservation of maritime archaeological artefacts in light of the threat from shipworm. The aim of the research has been to improve methods and analyses for conducting experiments with shipworm, and to better our understanding of their attack pattern and how to stop an active attack in situ.     

海岱地区史前稻遗存研究

考古发现的海岱地区史前稻遗存数量,从后李文化时期到龙山文化时期呈增多趋势,空间分布范围也逐步扩大,岳石文化时期稻遗存数量减少。后李文化时期尚处于低水平食物生产阶段,稻在人类生活中重要性较低;北辛—大汶口文化早中期,农业成为生业经济的主导,稻栽培成为稳定的农业发展模式;龙山时代农业进入强化生产阶段,稻作农业达到海岱地区历史上的顶峰;岳石文化时期,稻作农业萎缩,旱作农业进一步强化。
