山东济南长清月庄遗址植物遗存的初步分析

2003年3~6月,山东长清月庄遗址发掘期间,采集了一批以后李文化为主的土壤样品进行浮选。我们曾简单报道过月庄遗址H124浮选出的后李文化时期炭化稻,这是目前中国北方见到最早的稻谷遗存之一。本文将详细报道全部浮选结果,以期认识月庄遗址先民与植物之间的关系,对于理解全新世早期人类与植物的互动关系、植物的利用以及黄河流域早期食物生产等方面有重要意义。     

俄罗斯菲力波夫卡墓地考古新发现

2013年,俄罗斯科学院考古研究所Leonid T.Yablonsky教授在俄罗斯南部的奥伦堡州乌法市菲力波夫卡(Filippovka)地区发掘了一座萨尔马特时期的墓葬。出土了青铜鍑、银盆、金质胸饰、金柄银镜、动物纹金牌饰、金耳环以及纹身工具、调色板和针等遗物千余件。此次发现,对研究早期铁器时代的萨尔玛特文化和整个欧亚草原早期游牧文明提供了极其珍贵的资料。     

发展的反面:俄罗斯经济改革的回顾与展望

自 1991年 11月苏联解体起 ,列宁的幽灵就在俄罗斯游荡。是否应该把他的遗体移出耸立于红场的墓地 ,迁到一个合适的地方 ?或者 ,是否应像俄罗斯共产党所主张的那样 ,把它当作苏联真正成就的纪念而继续珍存下来 ?鲍里斯·叶利钦总统、俄罗斯的反共势力以及列宁遗产的反对者们抛出第三种方案 ,他们威胁要在夜深人静之时把遗体迁出火化 ,然后以基督教仪式下葬。对列宁遗产的矛盾心理反映出 ,大多数俄罗斯平民及其议员们都倾向于坚持苏联的制度、态度和行为举止。这种矛盾心理源自两个方面。首先 ,民意调查表明俄罗斯人仍然希望社会及经济体现出…     

中亚的"未知地区"

在公元第三个千年到来之际,世界地图上似乎已没有"空白",在我们生活的地球上,似乎再没有人类没有到过的地方.然而隐蔽在亚洲的几个山脉和沙漠中的偏远地区仍在等待着人类去探险、发现和研究.蒙古的阿尔泰地区就是这样一个地方(图一).到目前为止,这个地区的考古学研究仍是空白.     

Portrayal of lobotomy in the popular press: 1935-1960

This study analyzed the content of popular press articles on lobotomy between the years 1935 and 1960. Both a qualitative and quantitative analysis provided evidence that the press initially used uncritical and sensational reporting styles, with the content of articles on lobotomy becoming increasingly negative through time. The initial positive bias occurred despite opposing views in the medical community, which provided a basis for more balanced coverage. These findings support the theory that biased reporting in popular press articles may have been a factor influencing the quick and widespread adoption of lobotomy as a psychiatric treatment.     

The demographic transition then and now: processes, perspectives, and analyses

Fifty years have passed since the post-World War II development of demography as an academic field. During this time, one of the central focuses of research has been the study of demographic and fertility transitions. The authors review a selection of research developments and analytic issues that have appeared in the literature. After presenting, in roughly chronological order, the general development of this research work, they raise questions concerning theory and methodology. In doing so, they argue that some research directions have been overemphasized to the neglect of others.
