The Visual Language Research Corpus (VLRC) is comprised of annotations of a corpus of comics analyzing the structures in visual languages of the world. The VLRC includes ~36,000 coded panels from 300+ comics from Europe, Asia, and the United States, spanning across 80 decades of publication dates (1940-present), and various genres (e.g., superhero, indy, etc.). It also includes annotation of the entire run of the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip. Comics have been analyzed for a variety of properties, including panel framing, situational relations between panels, external compositional structure (page layout), multimodality, and a variety of other structures.

The dataset contains the processed and analysed research data from the research project 'Policy-making of early nature conservation. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom compared, 1930-1960', funded by the European Union���s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Marie Sk��odowska-Curie grant agreement No 832350. The dataset contains the Data Management Plan, the researcher's notes on literature and archival sources, and export files for his full literature reference system (also including notes, summaries etc.). For further details about contents and hints for usage, please see the readme.txt file.

Prosobab is an online database of recorded inhabitants of Babylonia between c. 620 and 330 BCE. Its main focus is on individuals who lived in southern Mesopotamia under Persian rule (539-330 BCE), but it also includes the preceding period of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in an attempt to contextualize their lives and those of their family members. In addition to person data, Prosobab collects information on the texts and archives in which the individuals are recorded. The database is developed in the framework of ERC project “Persia and Babylonia” at Leiden University and is intended for everybody with an interest in Babylonian history or the Persian Empire.

Since 2012, the WageIndicator Foundation has maintained a Collective Agreements Database, where the texts of 1600 collective agreements (CBAs) from 61 countries and in 27 languages have been uploaded, coded and annotated. This database is a unique example at global level: collective agreements are documents containing conditions of employment that result from negotiations between independent unions and employers, and their content is often surrounded by an atmosphere of secrecy. Under the SSHOC project and with the support of the CLARIN Research Infrastructure, the agreements have been manually and automatically annotated on several levels: for each agreement, the team answers a series of questions and selects the appropriate piece of text (clause) for each. One of the results of the collective agreements' annotation process is the dataset which is available here and includes all the clauses selected for each variable (WageIndicator_CBADatabase_Selected_Clauses). The full collective agreements' texts are stored in another dataset, also available here (WageIndicator_CBADatabase_Full_Texts_211019). A codebook is also included (210125-wageindicator-cba-codebook.pdf). {"references": ["Cite the full texts dataset: WageIndicator Collective Agreements Database - Full Texts Dataset .

The data catalogues (Supplementary 1 and 2) include information about sampling points on different analyses, as well as an interpretation of biostratigraphic data. The Supplementary 3 - 8 include magnetostratigraphic data (th. - input files, dir. - interpreted directions, .pmag - statistic analysis) from both section that can be uploaded on the Paleomagnetism.org online platform.

This dataset contains the numerical data underlying the publication figures and conclusions (Plomp et al. 2017, 2019).

Being at the Western fringe of Europe, Iberia had a peculiar prehistory and a complex pattern of Neolithization. A few studies, all based on modern populations, reported the presence of DNA of likely African origin in this region, generally concluding it was the result of recent gene flow, probably during the Islamic period. Here we provide evidence of much older gene flow from Africa to Iberia by sequencing whole genomes from four human remains from Northern Portugal and Southern Spain dated around 4,000 years BP (from the Middle Neolithic to the Bronze Age). We found one of them to carry an unequivocal Sub-Saharan mitogenome of most likely West or West-Central African origin, never reported before in prehistoric remains outside Africa. Our analyses of ancient nuclear genomes show small but significant levels of Sub-Saharan African affinity in several ancient Iberian samples, which indicates that what we detected was not an occasional individual phenomenon, but an admixture event recognizable at the population level. We interpret this result as evidence of an early migration process from Africa into the Iberian Peninsula through a Western route, possibly across the Strait of Gibraltar.

Abstract of paper 0767 presented at the Digital Humanities Conference 2019 (DH2019), Utrecht , the Netherlands 9-12 July, 2019.

Most of our knowledge of wild chimpanzee behaviour stems from fewer than 10 long-term field sites. This bias limits studies to a potentially unrepresentative set of communities known to show great behavioural diversity on small geographic scales. Here, we introduce a new genetic approach to bridge the gap between behavioural material evidence in unhabituated chimpanzees and genetic advances in the field of primatology. The use of DNA analyses has revolutionised archaeological and primatological fields, whereby extraction of DNA from non-invasively collected samples allows researchers to reconstruct behaviour without ever directly observing individuals. We used commercially available forensic DNA kits to show that termite-fishing by wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) leaves behind detectable chimpanzee DNA evidence on tools. We then quantified the recovered DNA, compared the yield to that from faecal samples, and performed an initial assessment of mitochondrial and microsatellite markers to identify individuals. From 49 termite-fishing tools from the Issa Valley research site in western Tanzania, we recovered an average of 52 pg/µl chimpanzee DNA, compared to 376.2 pg/µl in faecal DNA extracts. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes could be assigned to 41 of 49 tools (84%). Twenty-six tool DNA extracts yielded >25 pg/µl DNA and were selected for microsatellite analyses; genotypes were determined with confidence for 18 tools. These tools were used by a minimum of 11 individuals across the study period and termite mounds. These results demonstrate the utility of bio-molecular techniques and a primate archaeology approach in non-invasive monitoring and behavioural reconstruction of unhabituated primate populations.
