The modelling and representation of prehistoric hunter-gatherer behaviours is largely influenced by the investigation of sites with high archaeological visibility, due to the presence of large amounts of knapped lithics, which generally survive the ravages of time. As a consequence, behaviours which were not, or to a limited extent, associated with stone tools are underrepresented in archaeological narratives about hunter-gatherer lifestyles, which, however, have characterised most of the human past. Occasionally, at sites where preservation conditions are good, archaeological finds point to the importance of organic resources for tools and the manufacturing of a broad range of use items, such as clothing, footwear, containers, as well as tent covers and mats. In fact, it is highly likely that organic materials - e.g. wood, bark, bone, antler, hide - were dominant in the creation of material culture, and possibly played a pivotal role in sociocultural communication.The lack of attention for sites and phenomena associated with no or few lithics causes several problems with regard to archaeological insights into the variability in landscape use, technological traditions, and sociocultural interaction. This book presents a collection of articles which address these problems from several angles, with an emphasis on the Mesolithic of NW Europe: dwellings and activities associated with no or few lithics; variability in site location and landscape use, notably in relation to hunting and ethology of game species; and technological aspects of non-lithic material culture. The book intends to increase awareness of the consequences of the issues addressed for our understanding of the past, and boost research and heritage management initiatives in this field.

Most owls are almost perfectly adapted to life in the dark. Their vaguely humanoid faces reflect the spectacular evolution of their hearing and vision, which has made flight, romance, and predation possible in the near absence of light. This accessible guide, full of intriguing anecdotes, covers all 19 species of owls occurring in North America. More than an identification guide, Field Guide to Owls of California and the West describes the biology and behavior of owls to make finding and identifying them easier and watching them more enjoyable. The guide also explores the conservation challenges that owls face and tells how owls provide insights to scientists working in fields from technology to health. * Color plates illustrate each species * Range maps show the western distribution of North America's owls, 14 of which occur in California * Offers tips for finding and watching owls * Gives information on how to design, place, and maintain nest boxes * Describes human attitudes toward owls through history, including in Native American cultures of the West

Waarom blijven allochtonen kampen met ongelijkheid?In de loop van de 20ste eeuw steeg het aantal nieuwkomers in Europa aanzienlijk. In België vormde zich procentueel gezien een van de grootste migrantengemeenschappen. Maar op de arbeidsmarkt blijft de kloof tussen autochtonen en personen van vreemde herkomst groot: migranten zijn gemiddeld lager opgeleid en bekleden een zwakkere beginpositie op de arbeidsmarkt.Dit boek toont aan dat de zwakkere startpositie van migranten zich al te vaak doorzet in hun verdere loopbaan. Meer dan autochtonen worden ze geconfronteerd met inactiviteit, werkonzekerheid en instabiliteit. Dat versterkt de ongelijke pensioenopbouw en het armoederisico op oudere leeftijd, niet in het minst bij vrouwelijke, niet-Europese eerstegeneratiemigranten.(bron: https://www.lannoocampus.be/nl/de-kleur-van-vergrijzing)

The Netherlands are internationally renowned for the archaeology of its wetland environments. The reclamation of the Flevoland Polders in the early half of the 20th century not only exposed hundreds of shipwrecks, but also remnants of prehistoric landscapes and traces of human occupation dating to Mesolithic and Neolithic times. Ultimately, this led to the 'discovery' of the Swifterbant Culture in the 1960s-1970s, and which was initially seen as a Dutch equivalent of the Ertebølle Culture. Archaeological investigations conducted by the University of Groningen, and later also the University of Amsterdam, delivered important new data on the nature of the Swifterbant Culture. It became key in the discussion about the adoption of crop cultivation and animal husbandry by hunter-gatherers living in wetland environments. Also, the Swifterbant Culture became central in the debate on the meaning of archaeologically defined 'cultures', questioning relationships between social interaction and material culture. With the increase of urbanisation and infrastructural works, alongside changes in the Dutch Monuments Act, dozens of small and large-scale development-led investigations got initiated at the turn of the century. One project involved the construction of the Hanzelijn railway, crossing one of the polders from West to East. Archaeologists became aware that much of what was known - and unknown - about the prehistoric past of the Flevoland Polders, was not easily accessible. It was therefore decided to bring together, as much as possible, all the information from the many scattered sources, and make it accessible to professionals, both inside and outside the Netherlands. The result is this book, which presents an overview of the most important sites and data, and what these learn us about the nature of the archaeological record, landscape change, prehistoric subsistence, ritual behaviour, as well as socio-cultural developments during the Mesolithic and Neolithic. Previously considered an impossibility, 'fossilised' fields, discovered at Swifterbant, demonstrate crop cultivation in wetland environments in an early stage of the Neolithic. In fact, the prehistory of the Flevoland Polders is tightly connected to the dynamic nature of the extended wetlands that characterised the landscape since the end of the last glacial. Although often regarded as the 'margin' of cultural dynamics in the past, we can now see that the Flevoland Polders were right in the centre of fundamental long-term changes in human existence in NW Europe.

This volume deals with the pressing issue of uncertainty in archaeological modeling. Detecting where and when uncertainty is introduced to the modeling process is critical, as are strategies for minimizing, reconciling, or accommodating such uncertainty. Included chapters provide unique perspectives on uncertainty in archaeological modeling, ranging in both theoretical and methodological orientation. The strengths and weaknesses of various identification and mitigation techniques are discussed, in particular sensitivity analysis. The chapters demonstrate that for archaeological modeling purposes, there is no quick fix for uncertainty; indeed, each archaeological model requires intensive consideration of uncertainty and specific applications for calibration and validation. As very few such techniques have been problematized in a systematic manner or published in the archaeological literature, this volume aims to provide guidance and direction to other modelers in the field by distilling some basic principles for model testing derived from insight gathered in the case studies presented. Additionally, model applications and their attendant uncertainties are presented from distinct spatio-temporal contexts and will appeal to a broad range of archaeological modelers. This volume will also be of interest to non-modeling archaeologists, as consideration of uncertainty when interpreting the archaeological record is also a vital concern for the development of non-formal (or implicit) models of human behavior in the past. .

Het pensioenlandschap van de meeste geïndustrialiseerde landen is sinds enige tijd onmiskenbaar in beweging. Pensioenhervormingen staan hoog op de agenda van staten en internationale organisaties zoals de OESO en de Wereldbank. Een constante in die hervormingen betreft de versterking van de private elementen in de pensioenstelsels door de aanmoediging van particuliere of beroepsgebonden aanvullende pensioenen. Deze evolutie is evenmin aan België voorbij gegaan. Dit onderzoek schetst een duidelijk beeld van het toegenomen belang van de vaak 'onzichtbaar' gebleven tweede- en derdepijlerpensioenen in België. Een tip van de sluier wordt opgelicht ... Vanuit een breed concept van sociale zekerheid en gebaseerd op een uitgebreid juridisch overzicht worden de bestaande Belgische aanvullende pensioenvoorzieningen in kaart gebracht. Veel aandacht gaat hierbij naar de nieuwe Wet op de Aanvullende Pensioenen. Sociologische analyses bieden vervolgens meer inzicht in het macrobelang en in de verdeling van deze voorzieningen over de bevolking. Op deze manier komen de sociale gevolgen van het gevoerde beleid sinds de jaren '80 aan bod, tegelijk wordt de vinger gelegd op de bestaande knelpunten van de aanvullende pensioenvoorzieningen. Dit boek vormt dan ook een relevante bijdrage aan het belangrijke maatschappelijk debat over de aanvullende pensioenvoordelen. (Bron: covertekst) INHOUD: Deel 1.
