Natural and cultural heritage sites frequently have nonoverlapping or even conflicting conservation priorities, because human impacts have often resulted in local extirpations and reduced levels of native biodiversity. Over thousands of years, the predictable winter rains of northwestern Baja California have weathered calcium from the clam shells deposited by indigenous peoples in middens along the coast. The release of this calcium has changed soil properties, remediated sodic and saline soils, and resulted in a unique microhabitat that harbors plant assemblages very different from those of the surrounding matrix. Native plant biodiversity and landscape heterogeneity are significantly increased on the anthropogenic soils of these shell middens. Protection of this cultural landscape in the Anthropocene will further both archeological and biodiversity conservation in these anthropogenic footprints from the Holocene. Along these coasts, natural and cultural heritage priorities are overlapping and mutually beneficial.
Se presentan los primeros tituli picti sobre ánfora olearia Dressel 20 hallados en un contexto de producción anfórica de la Bética. En primer lugar se detalla el contexto del descubrimiento en el centro alfarero del conventus Cordubensis donde ha sido hallado, El Sotillo (Almodóvar del Río, Córdoba). A continuación, se discute y reflexiona sobre el aporte de este nuevo documento al conocimiento de la economía bética, con respecto al estado de la cuestión del proceso de envasado, etiquetado y expedición del aceite. El documento en cuestión demuestra que el rellenado del ánfora y la inscripción β del comerciante se realizan en la alfarería.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
