description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2023 SpainPublisher:Ubiquity Press, Ltd. Funded by:SSHRC, EC | RAINDROPSSSHRC ,EC| RAINDROPSAuthors: Ruiz-Giralt, Abel; Beldados, Alemseged; Biagetti, Stefano; D'Agostini, Francesca; +3 AuthorsRuiz-Giralt, Abel; Beldados, Alemseged; Biagetti, Stefano; D'Agostini, Francesca; D'Andrea, A. Catherine; Meresa, Yemane; Lancelotti, Carla;Cross-cultural models are a useful tool to generate hypotheses about the past using ethnographic data, especially when they can be validated against the archaeological record. In this paper, we propose the use of computer modelling techniques to gain insights into the agricultural history in the northern Horn of Africa of two key staple crops, i.e. finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). To date, our understanding of the role of these cereals in the past economies of the region has been hindered by preservation issues and the limited number of systematic archaeobotanical research programs. By building predictive models that combine published ethnographic literature and environmental datasets on a global level, we can generate hypotheses about past agricultural systems in the northern Horn. The ability of the models to predict local agricultural practices in the area was tested against ethnoarchaeological observations in Gulo Makeda (Tigrai, Ethiopia). Archaeobotanical data from an archaeological site in the area, i.e. Ona Adi (ca. 750 BCE – CE 700), was used to assess the model’s predictions when applied to the archaeological record. According to our results, the rainfed agriculture of finger millet and sorghum was already in place during the Aksumite period (ca. 50 BCE – CE 800) around the main centres of settlement articulation. These results are supported by the phytolith assemblage from Ona Adi, which records the presence of water-stressed Chloridoideae and Panicoideae grasses throughout the occupation of the site. This research has been developed as part of the RAINDROPS Research Project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the Horizon 2020 framework (ERC-Stg 759800). Ona Adi was excavated as part of the Eastern Tigrai Archaeological Project (ETAP), funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC Insight Grant #435-2014-0182 and Partnership Development Grant #890-215-003).

However, scientific articles may be ambiguous, incomplete and difficult to process by automated systems. In this paper we introduce RO-Crate, an open, community-driven, and lightweight approach to packaging research artefacts along with their metadata in a machine readable manner. RO-Crate is based on Schema$.$org annotations in JSON-LD, aiming to establish best practices to formally describe metadata in an accessible and practical way for their use in a wide variety of situations. An RO-Crate is a structured archive of all the items that contributed to a research outcome, including their identifiers, provenance, relations and annotations. As a general purpose packaging approach for data and their metadata, RO-Crate is used across multiple areas, including bioinformatics, digital humanities and regulatory sciences. By applying "just enough" Linked Data standards, RO-Crate simplifies the process of making research outputs FAIR while also enhancing research reproducibility.

Many studies have suggested that the decline of Angkor was precipitated by several factors, including severe monsoons, geopolitical shifts, and invasions. In this paper, we use light detection and ranging and ground penetrating radar to investigate the possible intersection of two of these existential threats in one feature: the North Bank Wall. Our results indicate that this feature was designed with dual functionality of extending the urban area’s defenses to the east of Angkor Thom while maintaining the existing infrastructure for the distribution and disposal of water. These findings suggest that the North Bank Wall was built before the severe droughts in the mid-13th century. The timing of the construction indicates that the perceived need for additional security—whether from internal factional disputes or external adversaries—predated the final adaptations to the hydraulic network during the unprecedented monsoon variability of the 14th century. These results indicate that perceived political unrest may have played a more important role in the decline of the site than previously known.
