Abstract. The Devonian slates and sandstones of the Rhenish Massif were subject to deep and intensive weathering under (sub)tropical climate conditions during the Cretaceous, the Paleogene and the Neogene, which caused the development of a weathering mantle (regolith) >100 m thick, consisting of kaolinitic saprolite and paleosols as well as correlated sediments. Especially the tectonic uplift of the Rhenish Massif and climate change during the Neogene and the Pleistocene led to a vast denudation of the weathering mantle. Only in less uplifted areas of the mountainous region did thick remnants of saprolites remain, and they were covered by Neogene sediments as well as Quaternary periglacial slope deposits. As the kaolinitic weathering products serve as raw materials for the clay industry, unique exposures are available in the Hintertaunus which offer impressive insights into the landscape development of the past ∼80 million years: the excursion proceeds from Giessen to Limburg and further south and southwest to the eastern and western Hintertaunus area. At site 1 near the village of Langhecke, characteristics and properties of the fresh, unweathered slates will be demonstrated. Excursion sites 2 and 3 are situated near the village of Eisenbach. In two open-cast clay mines, both a terrestrial and a semi-terrestrial saprolite from silt slate, covered by periglacial layers, are exposed. Properties and genesis will be discussed on the basis of morphological characteristics and mineralogical and geochemical analyses, as well as isovolumetric elemental mass balances. At site 4 a former basalt quarry near the village of Biebrich exposes a Paleogene Plinthosol above saprolite. The autochthonous paleosol was preserved below Upper Oligocene basalt tuff and periglacial layers. Site 5 is situated within a huge pit for mining of Upper Oligocene to Miocene quartz gravel near the village of Wasenbach. A Miocene Plinthosol developed from alluvial sediments on top of the gravel beds and was covered by periglacial slope deposits. At nearly all sites the basal layers of the periglacial cover beds consist of kaolinitic paleosol/saprolite material, which has an important influence on the site properties of the Holocene soils.

Ceramic objects in whole or in fragments usually account for the majority of findings in an archaeological excavation. Thus, through examination of the values these items bear, it is possible to extract important information regarding raw materials provenance and ceramic technology. For this purpose, either traditional examination protocols could be followed, focusing on the macroscopic/morphological characteristics of the ancient object, or more sophisticated physicochemical techniques are employed. Nevertheless, there are cases where, due to the uniqueness and the significance of an object of archaeological value, sampling is impossible. Then, the available analytical tools are extremely limited, especially when molecular information and mineral phase identification is required. In this context, the results acquired from a multiphase clay ceramic dated on Early Neopalatioal period ΜΜΙΙΙΑLMIA (1750 B.C.E.–1490 B.C.E.), from the Minoan Bronze Age site at Philioremos (Crete, Greece) through the application of Raman confocal spectroscopy, a nondestructive/ noninvasive method are reported. The spectroscopic results are confirmed through the application of Xray microdiffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive Xray spectrometry. Moreover, it is demonstrated how it is made possible through the application of microRaman (μRaman) spectroscopy to examine and collect crucial information from very small inclusions in the ceramic fabric. The aim of this approach is to develop an analytical protocol based on μRaman spectroscopy, for extracting firing temperature information from other ceramic finds (figurines) where due to their uniqueness sampling and analyses through other techniques is not possible. This information can lead to dating but also to firing kiln technology extrapolations that are very significant in archaeology.

Amylase is an amylolytic enzyme used in food industry which is generally produced by Aspergillus spp. under solid state fermentation. The present study is concerned with the isolation, screening and selection of suitable strains of Aspergillus spp. and optimization of cultural conditions for the biosynthesis of amylase. Rice and wheat brans were used as substrates which are readily available inexpensive raw materials for amylase production. From 85 samples of rice and wheat grains, 55 colonies obtained on potato dextrose agar (PDA) were suspected to be Aspergillus oryzae and only 35 colonies possessed the morphological characteristics similar to that of A. oryzae indicating the isolates were most likely the strains of A. oryzae. Of all the fungal isolates of Aspergillus spps., Asp.31 gave maximum production of amylase (720.782 IUgds-1) in solid state fermentation media. This strain was selected as a parental strain for optimization for cultural conditions. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS- 11.5 program. Of all the substrates (rice bran, wheat bran and their mixture), rice bran was the best for producing amylase of highest activity 611.614 IUgds-1.The highest enzyme activity of 698.749 IUgds-1 was observed at 50% initial moisture level of the substrate. The optimum temperature was 25°C for producing the crude amylase enzyme with amylase activity of 577.757 IUgds-1.

The paper presents the results of a techno-morphological analysis of items made of antler obtained as a result of the collections from the 1960s-1990s from the site near the village of Michnievičy Smorgon District of the Grodno Region (north-western Belarus). Currently, more than 100 artifacts are known from this site, as well as a large number of fauna residues with no visible traces of processing. Radiocarbon dating was obtained for some categories of products, which link them to 9-2 thousand BC. The largest part of the collection refers to the period of the Mesolithic - Neolithic. At the first stage of work, the most expressive and numerous group of artifacts made of horn (24 exemplars), stored in the fonds of the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, was selected for a techno-morphological analysis. The degree of preservation of the external surface of objects is relatively good, which made it possible to analyze macro-traces related to the technology of manufacturing various categories of products, on the basis of which a process flow was proposed - from the selection of raw materials to the finished product. The analysis of the technological traces recorded on the products allowed us to highlight the differences in the manufacturing processes of the oldest tools. In addition, on the basis of the macro signs of utilitarian wear, preliminary observations on the functional using of objects were obtained. According to technological and morphological features, the whole of the analyzed material was divided into conditional categories of instruments with a selected heel and without it. The presence or absence of this element, apparently, influenced the method of using objects in various household situations.

Processing of target species do not optimal, especially the processing of the by-catch product. This is caused by the weak capacity of the fishing groups, particularly in the utilization of marine products in the dry season and the acquisition of market information, so it requires increased knowledge and transferal appropriate technology. Purpose of the study: (1) generate a group of fishermen who are skilled, creative and innovative in the processing of marine products; (2) create a group of fishermen who are good entrepreneurs with venture capital is cheap, affordable and sustainable; (3) make the fishing village groups as independent business pioneer advanced and community known as a producer and marketer of processed fish products as one of the typical souvenir of Kendari. Method of determining the sample was done by purposive sampling. This activity involves two groups of partners consisting of fishermen processors groups and fishermen fishing groups each of 20 people. The data were analyzed descriptively of the results of the implementation of the two activities, namely non-physical activities (socialization and education) and physical activity (manufacture plots hygienic drying fish and puffer fish burger-making). Action research results make a positive contribution to the strengthening of the capacity of a group of fishermen in the economic, scientific, cultural and social skills. Another positive contribution is opening insights and ways of thinking to make use of by-catch product into marketable products and process raw materials of marine fish with a hygienic manner that supports the improvement of the quality of the product to be accepted in the market, and create jobs in the village with the ability of a group of fishermen in entrepreneurship independent, which in turn can improve the economics of fishing households and assist the government in the construction of coastal villages.
