“…Ideally, estimates of storage capacity should be standardised to the size of the sample, or the excavated volume (cf. Blackham 1997), which would be difficult in this case. But total excavated areas are very similar, measuring about 4500 sq.…”

Tulaylat Ghassul is an important Chalcolithic period site that has been excavated periodically since 1929. Robert North of the Pontifical Biblical Institute conducted excavations there for one season and reported his findings in 1961. This study reviews his publication and discusses the archaeological materials excavated. Emphasis is placed on understanding the sequence of events and the use of domestic space through a reconstruction of stratigraphic sequences and by considering artifacts and features in the context of previous excavations. Much of the archaeological material discussed in this review is published for the first time.

“…Several approaches have been developed that seek ordinations with the greatest possible level of agreement among the observed patterns of species co‐occurrences (Guex 1991, 2011; Alroy 1994, 2000; Blackham 1998; Puolamäki et al. 2006; Galster et al.…”

2012:Horizon annealing: a collection-based approach to automated sequencing of the fossil record. Lethaia, Vol. 45, A number of different approaches to quantitative biochronology have been proposed and used to construct high-resolution time-scales for a range of uses. We present a new approach, horizon annealing, which uses simulated annealing to optimize the sequencing of collection horizons. Temporal sequences of events produced by this method are compared with those produced by graphic correlation, CONOP and RASC for a series of previously studied exemplar data sets. Horizon annealing produces results similar to other methods, but it does have properties (the ordination of collections and the avoidance of some local minima) that make it useful for high-resolution studies, particularly those based on capture-mark-recapture methods requiring detailed presence-absence data for individual collections and taxa. h Chronostratigraphy, graphic correlation, graptolite, rate of evolution, CONOP9.H.
