Changing the Landscape of Archaeological Publishing | Current Anthropology
Disseminating research is a key component of scholarly labor, but the costs and benefits of the current structure of academic publishing are underexamined within anthropology. This paper brings together a range of authors from across archaeology and cultural anthropology to summarize current issues in archaeological publishing and offer potential interventions at multiple scales. The paper is divided into five core topics. “Ideology” discusses the relationship between publishing and academic history, gatekeeping, and the ideology of collaboration and coauthorship. “Publishing Dynamics in North America” covers intersections between identity, authorship, and citation practices, as well as gendered patterns in publishing. “Publishing Dynamics in Latin America” presents a case study of academic publishing in Brazil and Peru, highlighting the unique challenges for archaeologists based in the Global South. “Publishing Pathways” interrogates open science and data, standards for peer review and coauthorship, and the impact of different publishing models on individual researchers. Finally, “Media Coverage” investigates bias in popular media covering archaeological research and the monetization of scientific information. We conclude with a list of multiscalar interventions for authors, peer reviewers, editors, journals, departments, institutions, and granting agencies that will improve conditions for authors and readers, emphasizing strategies that lead to collaborative, reciprocal forms of knowledge production.

Klassiker der Weltliteratur: Die Brüder Grimm - hier anschauen
ardmediathek.de/video/klassike…
Wie kam die Schildkröte auf den Kopf des Aischylos? Wie wurden Charles Dickens Romane zuerst publiziert? Von wem und warum wurde schon früh in der Literatur der 'Cliffhänger' erfunden, also das hochdramatische abgebrochene Ende einer Geschichte? Warum war der 16. Juni 1904, der 'Bloomsday', für James Joyce so wichtig? Antworten auf diese und viele, viele andere Fragen erhalten Sie in der Sendereihe 'Klassiker der Weltliteratur'. Hier werden Autoren von Homer bis Franz Kafka, von Dostojewski bis Molière und von Jane Austen bis Raymond Chandler vorgestellt werden. Der Moderator dieser Sendereihe ist der Schriftsteller Tilman Spengler, der den Zuschauern die Autoren aus rund 2.500 Jahren und ihre wichtigsten literarischen Werke näherbringt.

Signs on Stone Age objects: Precursor to written language dates back 40,000 years
uni-saarland.de/en/news/steinz…
Over 40,000 years ago, our early ancestors were already carving signs into tools and sculptures. According to a new analysis by linguist Christian Bentz at Saarland University and archaeologist Ewa Dutkiewicz at the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) in Berlin, these sign sequences have the same level of complexity and information density as the earliest proto-cuneiform script that emerged tens of thousands of years later, around 3,000 B.C.E.

3,500 years of sheeppox virus evolution inferred from archaeological and codicological genomes | bioRxiv
biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2…
Sheeppox virus (SPPV; Capripoxvirus sheeppox) is a major livestock pathogen which causes economic hardship in the Global South through reduced production and death of vulnerable sheep. The disease is thought to have affected Eurasian societies for millennia, with descriptions of sheeppox-like disease recorded since Roman antiquity. Here we report the recovery of 21 novel ancient SPPV genomes spanning the Bronze Age period in the Eurasian steppes (~1,700 BCE) to the Early Modern period in Western Europe. Our dataset includes multiple genomes obtained from medieval parchment manuscripts, demonstrating that skin-based documents represent an under-recognized source of pathogen genomes from the past. Using this temporal genomic dataset, we estimate that major capripoxvirus lineages diverged ~11,500-3,700 years ago, depending on tree topology and mutation model, and overlapping known major translocations and bio-cultural developments in sheep. Our dataset supports SPPV representing the earliest split from the lineage leading to goatpox virus and lumpy skin disease virus (Capripoxvirus goatpox and Capripoxvirus lumpyskinpox). We determine that known gene inactivation events within SPPV and goatpox virus are also found in our earliest SPPV genomes and therefore occurred rapidly following its divergence. Together, these findings reveal that the food security of Eurasian communities have been threatened by sheeppox for over 3,700 years, and provide new temporal insights to the genomic evolution and potential host adaptation of sheeppox virus. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
