“…Probability density function plots (Ludwig, 2008) were created by assuming normal distributions of age uncertainty at 1σ for each grain age, followed by the summing of all normal distributions into composites normalized to subtend equal areas under the curves (Figure 3). The Arizona Laserchron Center Excel Age Pick, Normalized Probability Plot, K-S Test and Overlap macros were used to determine age clusters and mean ages, graph age probability plots and perform overlap, similarity and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) tests (Gehrels, 2011;Guynn & Gehrels, 2010).…”

Sourcing Olive Jars Using U‐Pb Ages of Detrital Zircons: A Study of 16th Century Olive Jars Recovered from the Solomon Islands

We present U‐Pb ages of zircons extracted from olive jars recovered from two sites associated with Alvaro de Mendaña y Neyra's colonising expedition to the Solomon Islands, c. 1595–1596 A.D. The olive jars were previously associated with Panamanian and Peruvian origins based on petrological and geochemical studies. To further define provenance, 143 zircons were extracted from five olive jar sherds, analyzed and dated. The resultant U‐Pb ages range from the Archaean to the Cenozoic (2977.2 ± 29.0–3.2 ± 4.0 Ma), but the dominance of Cretaceous and Palaeogene ages (∼ 90% of the total age population is between ∼ 145 and 23 Ma) supports a Peruvian origin based on comparative geology, with the Coastal Batholith of Peru a prime candidate area of ceramic production. These results are significant for the characterization of 16th Century Peruvian‐made pottery and our understanding of its production and trade.

“…Next, we recapitulate our results from Ludwig, Salfner and Schenner (2012) concerning the embeddability of the different kinds of adverbials and their ability to bear informational focus or contrastive focus. Then, we present the data from our questionnaire study and we show that we have to revise some of our former assumptions.…”

Adverbials are well-known to form a rather heterogeneous class in multiple respects. Here we examine their ability to bear focus and their ability to be embedded in subordinate sentences. For focusability, the distinction between informational focus and contrastive focus proves to play a role. We discern six main classes of adverbials, identified by their base position. As expected, not all classes (or subclasses) can bear (informational or contrastive) focus, and also not all (sub)classes can be embedded. Among those that can, it is still only a proper subset that may simultaneously be embedded and focused. A general finding is that the lower in the syntactic tree an adverbial is base-generated, the more likely it allows for focusing as well as for embedding. The distinction between proposition-internal and proposition-external adverbs is shown to be helpful in determining which adverbials may bear (informational) focus. Also certain extrinsic factors like the type of the embedding verb or the general context are discussed that influence focusability and/or embeddability. An analysis is given in presuppositional discourse representation theory that can account for our observations.

“…An Excel-based software, ICPMSDataCal 11.8, was used to perform off-line selection and integration of background and analytical signals, time-drift correction and quantitative calibration for trace element analysis and U-Pb-Hf dating (Liu et al, 2010). Concordia diagrams were constructed using Isoplot 3.7 (Ludwig, 2008).…”

The late Paleoproterozoic Dagushi Formation comprises a fluvial-lacustrine succession and represents the initial fill of the Xiong'er Basin in the southern North China Craton. Employing integrated outcrop surveys and detrital zircon U-Pb-Hf dating, this study examines the provenance and depositional setting of the Dagushi Formation. Five major depositional facies, including braided channel, distributary channel, subaqueous stream/mouth bar, pro-delta and shallow lake, were identified, based on lithofacies and associations. They were interpreted as representing a braided river deltalacustrine system. The ages of the last metamorphic event of the basement, covering volcanics and the youngest zircon together constrain a depositional age of ca. 1.79 Ga for the Dagushi Formation. Zircon age distributions reveal a provenance change from ca. 2.7-2.5 Ga rocks in the lower part, to ca. 2.3-1.9 Ga sources in the middle-upper part of the Dagushi Formation. Considering the vertical sedimentology, this provenance change could be induced by the rising water-level caused by a tectonic subsidence. The ca. 2.7-2.5 Ga zircons are suggested to be locally sourced from the late Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic metamorphic basement. The northeast Zhongtiao Mts area (current co-ordinates) is supposed to have appeared as a paleo-uplift and served as a source area for the Paleoproterozoic grains. The Dagushi Formation records an early 'underfilled' stage of the Xiong'er Rift.
