DOI: 10.1002/jrs.5354
Abstract: Despite their high potential for understanding past human behaviours, the study of grindstones is limited in the literature compared with other forms of lithic tools. This paper reports the combination of optical microscopy and Raman… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.09.061
Abstract: The origins of many large-scale 'biogenic' earthen structures are controversial, because often the species that built them have vanished. This is especially true when they form regular (over-dispersed), self-organized vegetation patterns [1]. Here, we describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.idm.2020.10.004
Abstract: Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples. This model used corrections for false negative and false positive results from published… read more here.
