G_2_07 — Power Laws, Scale-Free Networks, and Ancient Systems
A power law is a mathematical relationship of the form $P(x) \propto x^{-\alpha}$ in which the frequency of an event is inversely proportional to some power of its size — meaning that small events are extremely common, l
G_2_10 — Zooarchaeology — Animal Bones as Cultural Evidence
Zooarchaeology (also called archaeozoology) is the study of animal remains — primarily bones, teeth, antler, horn, and shell — recovered from archaeological sites, to reconstruct past human-animal relationships, includin
O_4_07 — Natural Nuclear Reactors Oklo
