BRASSICA AND SINAPIS SEEDS IN MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES: AN EXAMPLE OF MULTIPROXY ANALYSIS FOR THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND ETHNOBOTANICAL INTERPRETATION

The genus Brassica includes some of the most important vegetable and oil crops worldwide.Many Brassica seeds (which can show diagnostic characters useful for species identification) were recovered from two archaeological sites in northern Italy, dated from between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.We tested the combined use of archaeobotanical ke

Neural avalanches are collective firings of back roads clothing neurons that exhibit emergent scale-free behavior.Understanding the nature and distribution of these avalanches is an important element in understanding how the brain functions.We study a model of neural avalanches for which the dynamics are governed by neutral theory.The neural avalan
