The study of ancient Eurasian metallurgy has been suffering from (or preoccupied by) two conventional perspectives. One is that of the diffusion model emphasising the importance of the settled empires of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, of south-eastern Europe and of China (Shennan 1986, 1993; Kristiansen 1984). The supremacy of these 'cradles' of early civilisation is marked not only by social hierarchies, but also by technological inventions such as metal production. This view sees the mobile populations of the Eurasian steppe as occupying the "hinterland" of these early settled states in the south, believing that the emergence of metal technologies in the Steppe was the result of the expansions of "advanced" civilisations. The second perspective is rooted in the provenance study which traces metal objects back to their geological sources (Pernicka 2014). It assumes that chemical and isotopic composition of metal is static and only reflects a simple linear relationship between artefacts and specific ore deposits. Drawing from a legacy database of approximately 9,000 chemical analyses of copper-based artefacts, this thesis rejects the simplicity of both the diffusion and the provenance models. While admitting that the use of metal might have originated from western Asia, the development of metallurgy in the Eurasian steppe should be understood on its own terms. It is constantly re-shaped by vigorous circulation of metal artefacts across mobile communities on a regional or inter-regional scale. This observation is based on the application of a new innovative framework to interpret the patterns of compositional data (Bray et al. 2015). This novel method argues that metal can flow, quite literally, from one object to another as it is re-melted, re-mixed and re-cast in different shapes and colours, depending on different social contexts. Thermodynamic modelling and modern experiments have shown that during the copper melt, some volatile elements in copper alloys (e.g. arsenic, antimony, and zinc) are preferentially removed through oxidative loss. Instead, some elements, such as silver, nickel, and gold, tend to be preserved in metals. These predictable patterns of elemental losses provide valuable information to trace the directional flow of metal units between regions/cultures, if we combine chemical data of metal artefacts properly with archaeological context, landscape and chronology. By using this new methodology, several routes of copper supplies have been identified in the Steppe during different periods. They feature the exchange of metals within regional networks, fuelled by local copper sources. The Urals, central Kazakhstan, the Altai, and the Minusinsk-Tuva regions were the primary copper production centres that developed distinct trace-element chemistry and artefact typology. By contrast, alloying techniques employed by steppe peoples, generally demonstrate the long-distance connections based on two major metallurgical practices: arsenical copper in the western steppe and tin-bronze in the eastern steppe. Copper-arsenic production was concentrated in the Caucasus but the recycling of its arsenical copper became more apparent further away towards the Urals. On the other hand, the invention of tin-bronze metallurgy was triggered by the formation of the Seima-Turbino phenomenon (c. 2100- 1800/1700 BC) in the Altai, and this alloying tradition was amplified by the emergence of the Andronovo culture (c. 1700-1400 BC) in the Ural-Kazakh steppe. Tin-bronze ornaments, in particular, were exchanged between eastern and western mobile communities over a considerable distance, through the mechanism of pastoral seasonal movements. In conclusion, traditional views of diffusion and provenance theories cannot be uncritically applied to the inception of ancient metallurgy in the Eurasian steppe. Mobile pastoralists developed multi-regional production hubs based on the accessibility of ore resources and the variations in subsistence strategies. Although steppe metalwork revealed some technological borrowings from settled communities, steppe peoples had transformed them into locally adapted products that could fit into their socio-economic systems. That is, when dealing with the issues of Eurasian metallurgy, we should acknowledge the complexity of human engagement with metal and look into subtler differences in cultural context, landscape, and ideology.

The Bronze Age in southern Sweden is a period that has seen a great deal of research for as long as archaeological studies have been undertaken in this country. While we have a rich material record and even many visible indicators of the time in the landscape, such as the rock carvings of Tanum and the many mounds dotting the landscape, many aspects of that society are relatively poorly understood. I´m mainly referring to the economic structures underpinning Bronze Age societies. This project will take the models of Wealth and Staple Finance Systems, developed by Timothy Earle and successfully tested in many equivalent contexts around the world, and apply them on Swedish settlement materials from the Bronze Age settlements of Pryssgården and Apalle. The study looks at site distribution patterns, the prevalence of prestige goods and the possible importance of external contacts in order to produce a reliable economic model of the Swedish Bronze Age. While some similarities in resource management are obvious, some relevant aspects were found to differ.

One such pest was detected in 2008 and is known as Bronze bug. This Australian origin worm spread rapidly through the Eucalyptus plantations in the country because of the lack of their natural enemy. We have not yet found an effective control for Bronze bug. To achieve forest certification is not recommended the use of chemical insecticides. One of the alternatives to control this insect is the detection and use of resistant genotypes in plantations and the use of biopesticides from essential oils. For this finding is necessary stress tests in genotypes in order to find the ideal for plantations. In laboratory UFVJM Forest Biotechnology was held survival test and non-food preference in 27 commercial clones of Gerdau LTDA and E. camaldulensis individuals and C. citriodora in order to identify the level of resistance and susceptibility among thereof. For the two variables were considered the genotypes E. Citriodora, C4, C11, C24, C25, C27 and C17 as the most susceptible in relation to others and the clones C1, C15, C20, C21 e C13 as the toughest in relation to others After the characterization of the clones, have been derived the essential oils of three resistant clones, three susceptible clones and E. camaldulensis. In extracted oils, it have been found many compounds that are described to control various insects, as 1,8 cineol and linalool. These compounds show potential insecticide essential oils of Eucalyptus.

This symptom occurs because of your eating habits, because it sucks the sap of its host. This feeding causes direct damage to trees, because its leaves stay with tanned look, reducing photosynthesis, reaching dry and fall off, which can lead to the death of the plant. There are few studies relating to this pest, with no effective control. With intuited to know about the digestive morphology and the interaction of this with micro-organisms, targeting subsidies to the control of this pest were performed histology of the digestive system and sequencing of DNA fragments obtained from internal micro-organisms to the insect. The histology allowed to observe that the bronze bug does not have the gastric cecum of the midgut that stores micro-organism to assist in digestion of food, and their digestive system is divided into three parts, foregut, middle and posterior, which is possessor of a pair of salivary glands that are composed of two lobes each. Molecular analysis enabled us to verify that, possibly, there are micro-organisms present in the digestive system living in association with the same.

The late Bronze Age settlement in Březnice near Bechyně (South Bohemia) was investigated during 2005-2009. As well as commonly found features, many ditches were also found (about 1/3). These ditches are linear pits oriented in a north-south direction and the length (usually 4-7m) is four times the width. The results of macro-remains analysis of the late Bronze Age settlement in Březnice represent extraordinarily rich collections of archaeobotanical finds. Extracted macro-remains bear attributes of waste origin where Chenopodium album, Polygonum aviculare, Fallopia convolvulus are the most frequent. In the analyzed samples the main cereals were millet (Panicum miliaceum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Less frequent were species of wheat: bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), spelt (T. spelta), emmer (T. dicoccum) and einkorn (T. monococcum). Other macroremains found were legumes: lentil (Lens esculenta), pea (Pisum sativum) and broad bean (Vicia faba). Poppy seeds (Papaver sp.) were rare.

abstract: This study frames research on board games within a body of anthropological theory and method to examine the long-term social changes that effect play and mechanisms through which play may influence societal change. Drawing from ethnographic literature focusing on the performative nature of games and their effectiveness at providing a method for strengthening social bonds through grounding, I examine changes in the places in which people engaged in play over the course of the Bronze Age on Cyprus (circa 2500¬–1050 BCE), a period of increasing social complexity. The purpose of this research is to examine how the changes in social boundaries concomitant with emergent complexity were counteracted or strengthened through the use of games as tools of interaction. Bronze Age sites on Cyprus have produced the largest dataset of game boards belonging to any ancient culture. Weight and morphological data were gathered from these artifacts to determine the likelihood of their portability and to identify what type of game was present. The presence of fixed and likely immobile games, as well as the presence of clusters of portable games, was used to identify spaces in which games were played. Counts of other types of artifacts found in the same spaces as games were tabulated, and Correspondence Analysis (CA) was performed in order to determine differences in the types of activities present in the same spaces as play. The results of the CA showed that during the Prehistoric Bronze Age, which has fewer indicators of social complexity, gaming spaces were associated with artifacts related to consumption or specialty, heirloom and imported ceramics, and rarely played in public spaces. During the Protohistoric Bronze Age, when Cyprus was more socially complex, games were more commonly played in public spaces and associated with artifacts related to consumption. These changes suggest a changing emphasis through time, where the initiation and strengthening of social bonds through the grounding process afforded by play is more highly valued in small-scale society, whereas the social mobility that is enabled by performance during play is exploited more commonly during periods of complexity. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Anthropology 2016

abstract: This dissertation explores how practices and interactions of actors at different scales structure social networks and lead to the emergence of social complexity in middle range societies. To investigate this process, I apply a complex adaptive systems approach and a methodology that combines network science with analytical tools from economics to the three sub-periods of the Prehistoric Bronze Age (The Philia Phase, PreBA 1 and PreBA 2) on Cyprus, a transformational period marked by social and economic changes evident in the material record. Using proxy data representative of three kinds of social interactions or facets of social complexity, the control of labor, participation in trade networks, and access to resources, at three scales, the community, region and whole island, my analysis demonstrates the variability in and non-linear trajectory for the emergence of social complexity in middle range society. The results of this research indicate that complexity emerges at different scales, and times in different places, and only in some facets of complexity. Cycles of emergence are apparent within the sub-periods of the PreBA, but a linear trajectory of increasing social complexity is not evident through the period. Further, this research challenges the long-held notion that Cyprus' involvement in the international metal trade lead to the emergence of complexity. Instead, I argue based on the results presented here, that the emergence of complexity is heavily influenced by endogenous processes, particularly the social interactions that limited participation in an on-island exchange system that flourished on the island during the Philia Phase, disintegrated along the North Coast during the PreBA 1 and was rebuilt across the island by the end of the period. Thus, the variation seen in the emergence of social complexity on Cyprus during the PreBA occurred as the result of a bottom-up process in which the complex and unequal interactions and relationships between social actors structured and restructured social networks across scales differently over time and space. These results speak more broadly about the variability of middle range societies and the varying conditions under which social complexity can emerge and add to our understanding of this phenomenon. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Anthropology 2017

A recente descoberta da ocorrência percevejo bronzeado Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) no Brasil, tornou um problema de grande importância, por ser específico do gênero Eucalyptus. Devido a sua importância econômica, esse trabalho objetivou estudar as populações de T. peregrinus em florestas de clones de Eucalyptus grandis puro e clones híbridos de E. grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. Como método de amostragem utilizou-se armadilhas amarelas adesivas para captura de adultos e coleta de ramos com folhas para ninfas, adultos e ovos. A distribuição espacial vertical e horizontal intra-planta desse inseto em folhas de eucalipto, mostrou que a coleta de um ramo no terço médio da posição leste da copa de planta clonal de E. grandis é o ponto de amostragem mais representativo para adultos, ninfas e ovos de T. peregrinus. Na distribuição espacial horizontal, adultos e ninfas de T. peregrinus apresentaram distribuição agregada em plantio de E. grandis x E. urophylla. As armadilhas amarelas apresentam coletas mais representativas de adultos do percevejo bronzeado quando instaladas mais próximas da copa de árvores de eucalipto e que, é efetiva para a detecção desse inseto. A umidade relativa e a precipitação pluviométrica afetam populações dessa praga, com correlação inversamente proporcional e independente do método de amostragem no período avaliado e a temperatura não afeta a flutuação populacional do T. peregrinus / Bedbugs are widely distributed groups of pests causing considerable losses in agricultural and forestry systems.

As a result that economic importance, this study aimed to investigate the populations of T. peregrinus in forests of Eucalyptus grandis clones of pure and hybrid clones of E. grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. As a sample method it was used yellow sticky traps to capture adults and collecting branches with leaves for nymphs, adults and eggs. The spatial distribution of vertical and horizontal intra-plant of this insect in eucalyptus leaves, showed that the collection of a branch in the middle third of the position east of the plant canopy clonal E. grandis is the sampling point more representative of adults, nymphs and eggs of T. peregrinus. In the horizontal spatial distribution, adult and nymphs of T. peregrinus showed clumped distribution in cultivation of E. grandis x E. urophylla. Yellow traps have collected more representative sample of adult of bronze bug when installed closer to the canopy of eucalyptus trees and is effective for the detection of this kind of insect. The relative humidity of the air and rainfall affect populations of this pest, and independent and inverse correlation of the sampling method during the analysis period and the temperature does not affect the fluctuation of T. peregrinus

De forma agregada, a distribuição e disseminação do percevejo-bronzeado foi rápida nos estados produtores de eucalipto, sendo relatado causando danos em plantios em 14 estados brasileiros. Em 2012, o parasitoide de ovos Cleruchoides noackae Lin & Huber, 2007 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) foi introduzido no país, para criação massal em laboratório e liberação à campo, para o controle biológico da população do percevejo-bronzeado. No entanto, ainda há poucos estudos de biologia e comportamento de C. noackae e da dinâmica entre o parasitoide e o hospedeiro. O objetivo foi determinar as exigências térmicas e duração do desenvolvimento de C. noackae, em ovos de T. peregrinus, em diferentes temperaturas; avaliar o parasitismo de ovos de T. peregrinus, por C. noackae em diferentes temperaturas, e estudar, em condições de laboratório, o comportamento de corte, acasalamento e oviposição e o parasitismo de fêmeas virgens e acasaladas de C. noackae em ovos de T. peregrinus. A temperatura, influenciou o tempo de desenvolvimento de C. noackae, notando-se redução do período ovo-adulto com o aumento da temperatura. Fêmeas e machos do parasitoide necessitam de temperaturas acima de 7,34°C e 7,59°C e acúmulo de 298,50 e 289,85 graus-dia, respectivamente, para completar o desenvolvimento. A viabilidade de emergência foi também, afetada pela temperatura, com 20% de parasitoides retidos (não emergidos) a 30ºC. A temperatura influenciou, o parasitismo de C. noackae em ovos de T. peregrinus. Temperaturas entre 21 e 27ºC foram as melhores para o parasitismo de C. noackae em ovos de T. peregrinus, com maior taxa de parasitismo nas primeiras 24 horas. No estudo comportamental de C. noackae, não foi observado comportamento de côrte e ocorre apenas uma cópula entre o casal. Fêmeas virgens e copuladas encontraram o primeiro hospedeiro em 15,21 e 17,14 minutos e os demais em 3,85 e 0,86 minutos, respectivamente. O tempo de forrageamento e inserção do ovipositor de fêmeas virgens e copuladas C. noackae em ovos de T. peregrinus, foi de 24 e 21 segundos e de 5,13 e 3,69 minutos, respectivamente. Fêmeas virgens e copuladas inseriram o ovipositor com maior frequência nas laterais e opérculo do ovo de T. peregrinus. Em uma hora, mais de 50% dos ovos de T. peregrinus oferecidos às fêmeas de C. noackae foram parasitados, indicando alto e rápido parasitismo. A razão sexual de 0,00 (fêmeas virgens) e 0,68 (fêmeas copuladas) confirmam a partenogênse arrenótoca de C. noackae. Fêmeas virgens e copuladas de C. noackae tem capacidade semelhante de parasitismo em laboratório, 89%, porém, a viabilidade de emergência do parasitoide é menor para fêmeas copuladas. Os resultados apresentados neste trabalho podem ser utilizados para o ajuste de técnicas de criação massal em laboratório deste parasitoide e manejo do percevejo-bronzeado. / The bronze bug Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, 2006 (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) is an eucalypt sap-sucking, native of Australia, present in Brazil since 2008. Its distribution and dissemination, in aggregate form, was fast in the producing states of eucalyptus, being reported causing damages in plantations in 14 states Brazilians. In 2012, the parasitoid of eggs Cleruchoides noackae Lin & Huber, 2007 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) was introduced in the country for laboratory mass-rearing and release into the field for the biological control of the population of the bronze bug. However, there are few studies on a C. noackae biology and behavior and dynamics between the parasitoid and its host. The objective was to determine the thermal requirements and the duration of C. noackae development in eggs of T. peregrinus at different temperatures; to evaluate the parasitism of C. noackae in T. peregrinus eggs at different temperatures and to study, under laboratory conditions, the parasitoid courtship, mating and oviposition behaviour and the parasitism of virgin and mated females of C. noackae on T. peregrinus eggs. The temperature, influenced the development time of C. noackae, observing reduction of the biological cycle (egg-adult) with the increase of the temperature. Females and males of the parasitoid require temperatures above 7.34°C and 7.59°C and accumulation of 298.50 and 289.85 degrees day, respectively, for their development. The viability of emergence was affected by temperature with 20% of parasitoids retained (not emerged) at 30ºC. The temperature also influenced the parasitism of C. noackae in T. peregrinus eggs. Temperatures ranging from 21 to 27ºC were better for the parasitism of C. noackae in eggs of T. peregrinus with the highest rate of parasitism occurs within the first 24h. In the behavioral study of C. noackae, no courtship behavior was observed and only one copula between the couple occurred. Virgins and copulated females found the first host in 15.21 and 17.14 minutes and the next host in 3.85 and 0.86 minutes, respectively. The foraging time and duration of ovipositor insertion into T. peregrinus eggs was 24 and 21 seconds and 5.13 and 3.69 minutes, respectively. Virgins and copulated females of C. noackae inserted the ovipositor more frequently on the sides of the egg and operculum of the T. peregrinus egg. At one hour, more than 50% of T. peregrinus eggs offered to C. noackae females were parasitized, indicating high and rapid parasitism. The sex ratio of 0.00 (virgin females) and 0.68 (females copulated) confirming the arrhenotokous parthenogenesis of C. noackae. Female virgins and copulated C. noackae have similar parasitism capacity in the laboratory, 89%, however, the viability of emergence is lower for copulated females. The results presented in this work can be used for adjustment of techniques for parasitoid mass-rearing and bronze bug management.
