Morphology of the halfblind Hostěnice Valley was established based on electric resistivity sounding and seismic measurements. A limestone bottom of the valley is situated at altitude 350 m a.s.l bellow ca. 30 m thick fluvial or lacustrine clayey and sandy deposits. At the limestone and non-karstic boundary a 20 m high step was formed. The bottom of the valley (350 m a.s.l.) corresponds with the older cave corridors in the nearby Ochozska Cave forming probably Pliocene cave level. During the Quaternary main cave passages were deepened leaving the older corridors in a hanging position.

Urban Cultures of Central Asia from the Bronze Age to the Karakhanids Christoph Baumer and Mirko Novák (eds.), 2019

The culture of Chirik Rabat flourished during the second half of the 1st millennium BCE in the Inner Syr Darya delta, along the Zhana Darya and Inkar Darya deltaic branches. The main centres of this culture (Chirik Rabat, Babish Mulla, Balandy, and Sengir Tam) are represented by large fortified sites characterised by monumental architecture and funerary constructions (round and square mau- soleums made of mud-brick and pakhsa, earthen barrows, slag kurgans (barrows), deep shaft pits, and so on). At the same time, there is a complete lack of evidence of the typical functions of a city, such as residential areas for concentrations of population, a density and differentiation of buildings, as well as specialised production and workshops, and it appears that these centres played no central role in mercantile relations and interactions with other communities. This paper presents some results of the archaeological research carried out in recent years by various teams with the aim of analysing the characteristics of the settlement pattern in the Inner Syr Darya delta. Keywords: Syr Darya delta, Early Iron Age, Chirik Rabat culture, settlement patterns

The excavation of the simple dolmen at Tiarp, Falbygden, dating to around 3500 BCE, has provided important information for the understanding of the megalithic and early TRB in southern Scandinavia and northern Central Europe. The absolute chronological dating shows that dolmens were erected at about the same time between Falbygden and Altmark, before the main passage grave architectural phase. Although fragmented and affected by taphonomic processes, the bone assemblage provides insights into the burial practices. At least twelve individuals, from neonates to elderly, had been buried within the chamber. The predominance of hand and foot bones suggests that they were primary inhumations. Their isotope values indicate an already agrarian society, which, however, was based only to a certain extent on agriculture. Insofar, the dolmen at Tiarp signals transformations-not only in respect to the introduction of agriculture but also regarding ritual practices-within the Early and Middle Neolithic.

The aim of this paper is to present PARSEME, a COST Action devoted to the issue of Multiword Expressions in parsing and in linguistic resources (corpora, lexicons). This is a “meta-paper” intended to be the main citation point for any future work referring to PARSEME: it does not describe in detail any single result of the Action, but rather summarises its multifarious activities and provides links to such results (both completed and in progress).

Résumé : L’espèce nouvelle endémique Pseudomiltha horcsarriu nov. sp. est décrite des argiles sableuses bartoniennes (Éocène moyen) de Pédelail, Horsarrieu (Landes). C’est la seconde très grande espèce de Pseudomiltha décrite à l’Éocène en France. Par ailleurs, les noms « Myrtea » toamasina nom. nov., Epicodakia boamilliensis nom. nov., « Lucina » hungarica nom. nov. et Lucina dickersoni nom. nov. sont respectivement proposés pour corriger les homonymies Lucina elongata Odhner, 1919 non Lucina corbarica elongata Leymerie, 1846, Lucina (Codakia) quadrata Angas, 1877, Lucina quadrata (Dickerson, 1914) et Lucina quadrata Kutassy, 1933 non Lucina corbarica quadrata Leymerie, 1846. Abstract: The new species endemic Pseudomiltha horcsarriu nov. sp. of the bartonian sandy clay (Middle Eocene) from Pédelail, Horsarrieu (Landes) is described. This is the second very large species of Pseudomiltha described of the Eocene in France. Moreover, the names « Myrtea » toamasina nom. nov., Epicodakia boamilliensis nom. nov., « Lucina » hungarica nom. nov. and Lucina dickersoni nom. nov. are proposed here to correct respectively the homonymy Lucina elongata Odhner, 1919 non Lucina corbarica elongata Leymerie, 1846, Lucina (Codakia) quadrata Angas, 1877, Lucina quadrata (Dickerson, 1914) and Lucina quadrata Kutassy, 1933 non Lucina corbarica quadrata Leymerie, 1846.
