Especially since Ferraz (1974, 1975, 1979), it has been generally accepted that the four Gulf of Guinea creoles (GGCs) — Santome (ST), Angolar (ANG), Lung’ie (LU), and Fa d’Ambô (FA)2 — are closely related languages based on historical and linguistic data. Ferraz shares his view on the type of genetic relation between these creoles in the following quote: To take the GG [Gulf of Guinea] case, it would not be plausible to assume that the contact language which developed in the town of São Tomé and the surrounding areas was the same as that which gave rise to Ang[olar], Pr[incipense], and Pag[alu]4. There are enough differences between each of these languages to rule out such a possibility. It would be closer to the truth to say that the four contact languages show many resemblances because, to a large extent, they grew up together, with slaves and settlers introduced through the central administration in São Tomé. (…). Hence different languages developed in the archipelago rather than dialects of one contact language. (Ferraz 1987: 348) This paper will reassess the linguistic relation between the GGCs and the typological contribution of the African strata. It will be argued that there is substantial linguistic evidence that the GGCs are to a significant extent the result of a common ancestor, which throughout the paper will be labelled the proto-Gulf of Guinea creole (proto-GGC), and that this common ancestor derived most of its features from its Nigerian substrate rather than from western Bantu.

The introduction of the airborne magnetometer in the 1940s led to the largest flow of data in geophysical history. Vacquier (1951) recognized the need for a concomitant system of interpretation of these data and pioneered the utilization of a rejected category of anomalies, the intrabasement contrasts in magnetization, for the basis of the desired system. These anomalies had great acclaim in oil and gas exploration in the late 1920s, but they led to the total disrepute of magnetics when facsimiles to the coincidence of production and intrabasement magnetization at Hobbs, New Mexico, discovered in 1928, did not achieve the same relationship. But Vacquier recognized the omnipresence of these anomalies, the singularity of individual anomalies, and their source in thick bodies of relatively steep sides and induced magnetizations. These simple but powerful deductions were reached pragmatically. To repeat, anomalies were singular because they were quite separate from one another. Therefore, the sides of their causative bodies had to be quite steep. An anomaly must be attributed to one magnetization contrast because it was one anomaly, and that magnetization was induced because the ratios of their positive and negative components correlated with the inclination of the Earth’s main magnetic field. (All of this may be found in GSA Memoir 47, 1951.)

The first archaeological excavations at the Malyn ancient settlement had been initiated in 1878 by V. B. Antonovych. In the 20th century, the site has been explored by such outstanding scientists as P. M. Tretiakov, M. P. Kuchera, B. A. Zvizdetskyi. On the basis of the found artifacts, the site has been attributed as one of the earliest town settlements of the Eastern Slavs, and the discovered materials have been used to generate the concept of the early development of the towns in the East Slavonic area. Starting from 2016, the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine regularly explores the site to investigate the fundamental issues of the early Slavonic towns in Eastern Europe genesis. During the field season of 2017, scientists discovered the remains of the defense constructions dating back to the earliest period of the site formation. The new data which enable to characterize the settlement surroundings has become an important result of the research in 2017. The artifacts discovered at the surrounding areas of the site indicate that culture layers of all the neighboring grounds available for settling (except for the flood lands of the Irsha river) are synchronous to those found at the settlement.
