This chapter describes the architecture of Kellia. At their maximum development, in the sixth and seventh centuries, the settlements of Kellia were covered with hermitages established at a certain distance from each other. These autonomous units were demarcated by enclosures whose size varied, depending on the number of occupants. The enclosures had a rectangular shape with a general southeast-northwest orientation and the habitations were predominantly established in their western corner. The entrance of the hermitage was usually in the south, thus protected from the prevailing winds. A well, dug in the southeastern part of the courtyard, provided the inhabitants with the water for their daily needs as well as for the watering of the garden. Latrines were installed against the southern wall and the sewage was drained out of the enclosure toward the south.

The article reports on archaeological and conservation work carried out by the expedition of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology University of Warsaw in cooperation with the Sudanese National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums in two consecutive seasons in the winter of 2013 and 2014. The excavations focused on the southeastern part of the site. They led to the discovery of a second monastic church (South Church) adjoining the church (North Church) known from Peter Shinnie’s work at the site, as well as a sanitary complex consisting of latrines and associated rooms located along the east wall of the monastery. Building material from the South Church, textual and pottery finds recovered during the two seasons, as well as conservation of the wall plaster preserved in the North Church are reported in this article.

Thermal Conductivities

Over 8 400 bottom‐hole temperature (BHT) values from the Canadian part of the Williston Basin were analyzed and a temperature high was discovered in the Weyburn area of southeastern Saskatchewan. Geothermal gradients, thermal conductivities, and heat flow have been investigated for most of the Mesozoic‐Cenozoic clastic unit as well as the Upper Paleozoic carbonate‐evaporite unit. Regional heat flow variations with depth occur which are closely related to the hydrodynamics governed by the topography and geology. The blanketing effect of low‐conductivity shaly formations may cause a temperature anomaly in the south where the thickest Phanerozoic cover exists. However, the Weyburn high can be explained only partially in this way. Hydrodynamics has also contributed to formation of the temperature anomaly there. The process of forming the anomaly by the blanketing effect and hydrodynamics also contributed to oil deposition. There is a correlation between Mississippian oil occurrences in the southeastern part of the basin and the location of the Weyburn temperature high.

The Republic

The Setus are an ethnic group, small in numbers, in the southeastern part of the Republic of Estonia and the Russian territories bordering on Estonia (Petseri raion of the Pskov oblast). The Setus can be seen as ethnographic raw material that both Estonian and Russian nationalists have attempted to claim. Generally, the Setus has been viewed as an ethnographic subgroup of Estonians and their language as part of the South Estonian dialect. Unlike the Estonians, who are predominantly Lutheran by tradition, the Setus are Orthodox. The specific characteristics of the Setus have emerged as a result of the combined influence of religious and linguistic peculiarities and a historic fate that is different from the Estonian. Because of the fact that they were considered Estonians when the censuses took place, the exact number of the Setus is unknown; however, I estimate the number of the Setus living in Setumaa and in Estonian towns to be about 5,000–6,000.

Radiometric Data

This article presents new radiometric data from archaeological layers of the inhabited structures adjacent to the cyclopean monument of Cap de Forma (Mahon, Menorca). The archaeological site is located on a narrow isthmus that links a 30-m-high coastal promontory to the mainland. It is next to an excellent natural harbor on the south coast of the island. The protohistorical complex consists of a cyclopean monument surrounded by a necropolis of rock-cut tombs (cuevas) that are dug into the cliff. The monument is an atypical example of Talayotic architecture. The excavations carried out since 1997 have discovered three living spaces. These lean against the southern wall of the cyclopean structure. The artifacts are almost all pan of a chronological horizon that corresponds to the beginning of the Talayotic period. This study uses radiometric data to help interpret the recent findings from the three living spaces that flank the wall of the central monument.

In the Church of Saint Stephen in Duljevo, not far from Budva (Pastrovici) an interesting composition of the founders (ktetores) has been preserved. In accordance with an early Serbian tradition, it was painted on the southern wall in the western bay of the naos (drawing 1), and it is possible that it extended over the southern part of the western wall that was demolished very long ago. The Duljevo composition of the founders now depicts the images of the patron saint of the church, Saint Stephen, the First Martyr, painted on the southern side of the south-west pilaster, and the presentations of the two rulers to the west of him (drawing 2). The patron saint of the church who was the protector of the Serbian medieval state and its rulers, is represented in a deacon's sticharion, with a censer in his hands, blessing the founders. The ruler in his prime approaches the First Martyr, presenting him with a model of the church (drawing 2, figs. 1, 2)...

Facies Metamorphism

Crystalline Precambrian rocks exposed in the basins of the Olekma and Aldan Rivers represent the southeastern part of the Siberian Platform. To the north and east the basement is covered by Paleozoic and Upper Proterozoic formations. To the south and west lie younger deformed belts.The Aldan Shield can be divided into four regions. The Tcharskaja massif, in the west, is the most ancient block. Pb–U dates on allanite and zircon show a good concordance at 2950 m.y. The prevalent rock type is gneiss and migmatite.In the Aldan River basin three thick series of Lower Proterozoic rocks were deposited during the time interval 2000 to 2700 m.y. Granulite facies metamorphism of these rocks occurred 1800 to 2100 m.y. ago. The time of deposition of the lowest formations (Iengra Series) is given approximately by measurement of the isotopic composition of lead in different syngenetic mineral phases. Using muscovite and magnetite, the 207Pb/204Pb:206Pb/204Pb isochron yields a value of 2550 ± 300 m.y.In the east the crystalline basement of the Aldan complex is covered by thick Proterozoic sedimentary formations. These formations are intruded by alkaline rocks, dated at 1100 m.y. and small ring structures with associated carbonatites, dated at 600 to 650 m.y. The magmatic cycles, combined with glauconite age determinations, indicate a nearly complete, Middle and Upper Proterozoic stratigraphic section. The base of the Middle Proterozoic is established at 1900 ± 50 m.y.The Aldan complex, and the Stanovoi complex to the south are separated by a wide belt of tectonic fault zones. The prevailing metamorphic grade of the Stanovoi complex is amphibolite facies, with only local areas of granulite facies rocks. Pb–U ages from monazites, zircons, and allanites from pegmatites cutting the complex date the amphibolite facies metamorphism at 1900 m.y. Available data suggest an Archean age for the granulite facies rocks. The Stanovoi complex has been affected by at least two subsequent magmatic periods; the first were syenitic intrusions at 1100 m.y., and the second Jurassic granites at 150 m.y. The last magmatic cycle, found in many parts of the Aldan Shield, is an excellent demonstration of the recurrent rejuvenation of Precambrian terrains.

The place used as the execution – ground at Canton is in the southern suburbs, about midway between the forts known to foreigners as the Dutch and French “Follies.” It is, however, some distance back from the river, being about halfway between the southern wall of the city, running parallel to the river, and the latter; distant from each 120 or 130 yards in a straight line. There is no street leading directly to it either from the river or the city. There is a dense population all around, composed, towards the north and west, of the inmates ef shops and dwellings, respectable in its immediate neighbourhood, and getting more wealthy as the foreign factories (distant about a mile) are approached. To the south and east the suburb is, generally speaking, poor, inhabited by low and even criminal classes. The execution-ground itself is a short thoroughfare or lane, running north and south, about fifty yards in length, eight yards in breadth at its northern end, and gradually narrowing to five yards at its southern extremity, where the projection of a house-corner reduces it to a mere passage of one yard and a half in width, and five in length. At the end of this latter is a high strong door, closed and guarded during executions. The eastern side of the ground is bounded in its whole length by a dead brick wall, of about twelve feet high, forming the back of some dwellings or small warehouses.
