The Arctic zone of the Earth is a major source of mineral and other natural resources for the future development of science and technology. It contains a large supply of strategic mineral deposits, including rare earths, copper, phosphorus, niobium, platinum-group elements, and other critical metals. The continued melting of the sea ice due to climate change makes these resources more accessible than ever before. However, the mineral exploration in the Arctic has always been a challenge due to the climatic restrictions, remote location, and vulnerability of Arctic ecosystems. This book covers a broad range of topics related to the problem of Arctic mineral resources, including geological, geochemical, and mineralogical aspects of their occurrence and formation; chemical technologies; and environmental and economic problems related to mineral exploration. The contributions can be tentatively classified into four major types: geodynamics and metallogeny, mineralogy and petrology, mineralogy and crystallography, and mining and chemical technologies associated with the exploration of mineral deposits and the use of raw materials for manufacturing new products. The book can be of interest for all those interested in Arctic issues and especially in Arctic mineral resources and associated problems of mineralogy, geology, geochemistry, and technology.

Fourteen papers explore a range of issues relating to prehistoric extraction sites, including ethnography, geochemical signatures, the application of neutron activation analysis, exploitation of erratics, excavation, survey and conservation. Topics include quernstone extraction, use of hammers, stages of extraction, geographical and social contexts, changing social regimes, the ritualised nature of journeys to quarry sites, study of petrofabrics, and the effects of joint and cleavage on quarrying practice. Two contributions are in French with extended summaries in English.

Der Band 66 der RWZ enthält unter anderem den Themenschwerpunkt "Bergbaukultur in Westfalen - was bleibt?". Darin sind neun Aufsätze versammelt, die aus einer Tagung der Volkskundlichen Kommission für Westfalen (heute: Kommission für Alltagskulturforschung für Westfalen) des Landschaftsverbandes Westfalen-Lippe hervorgehen, die im März 2019 in Ibbenbüren stattfand. Zudem umfasst der Band mehrere Berichte zum Umgang mit der Pandemie in verschiedenen Museen, die die ungeahnten Herausforderungen, denen sich die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der Museen stellen müssen, deutlich machen, aber auch neue digitale und analoge Vermittlungsformen in den Museen dokumentieren. Die Frage nach dem Umgang mit der Pandemie und ihrer Wirkung auf Alltagskulturen thematisieren auch zwei Aufsätze, die speziell auf das immaterielle Kulturerbe "Schützenwesen" schauen. Neben dem Themenschwerpunkt und der Auseinandersetzung mit der Pandemie bietet der Band noch vielfältige weitere Einblicke in Arbeitsfelder der Alltagskulturforschung.
