Analytical approaches to Egyptian goldwork
The structure and composition of ancient gold objects retain information about their long history of manufacture, from the exploitation of the ore to the finishing touches, as well as evidence of their use, deposition, and degradation. By developing an efficient analytical strategy, it is possible to retrieve that information. This...Guerra, Maria F ; Troalen, Lore G ; Martinón-Torres, Marcos ; Lemasson, Quentin ; Moignard, Brice …

William Morris and La Vie Seigneuriale: New light on the revival of tapestry weaving in England
The artist and designer William Morris taught himself to weave in 1879 and went on to produce some of the most celebrated tapestries of the 19th century. But how far can Morris’s writings on the revival of Medieval craft be accepted as the ethos behind his tapestries? Previously overlooked evidence...Wyld, Helen

Buying Power: Archaeologists as Dealers in Egypt and Sudan
Exhibitions and displays of Egyptian objects in museums across the world continue to inspire awe and fascination for millions of visitors. As museums tell the stories of the ancient world, they also tell their own collecting stories of how the objects came to be part of their collections. These narratives...Potter, Daniel

The braincase and inner ear of ‘Metriorhynchus’ cf. ‘M.’ brachyrhynchus–implications for aquatic sensory adaptations in crocodylomorphs
During their long evolutionary history crocodylomorphs achieved a great diversity of body sizes, ecomorphotypes and inferred feeding ecologies. One unique group of crocodylomorphs are the thalattosuchians, which lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous (ca. 191–125 Ma). They transitioned from shallow marine species, like teleosauroids, into fully pelagic forms with paddle...Schwab, Julia A ; Young, Mark T ; Herrera, Yanina ; Witmer, Lawrence M ; Walsh, Stig A …

The type genus Metriorhynchus is one of the best-known genera of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs, and since the mid-19th century, the ‘concept’ of Metriorhynchus has become associated with the referred species Me. superciliosus.

A new phylogenetic hypothesis of Tanystropheidae (Diapsida, Archosauromorph) and other “prororosaurs” and its implications for the early evolution of stem archosaurs
The historical clade “Protorosauria” represents an important group of archosauromorph reptiles that had a wide geographic distribution between the Late Permian and Late Triassic. “Protorosaurs” are characterized by their long necks, which are epitomized in the genus Tanystropheus and in Dinocephalosaurus orientalis. Recent phylogenetic analyses have indicated that “Protorosauria” is a polyphyletic clade,...Spiekman, Stefan N F ; Fraser, Nicholas C ; Scheyer, Torsten M
