review of Marilena Alivizatou, Intangible Heritage and Participation. Encounters with Safeguarding Practices

The main objective of the Belspo-funded LIMAMAL project was to support archaeologists in creating 3D terrain visualizations based on Lidar data and Pléiades stereoscopic imagery, and a combination or “fusion” thereof. A case study was developed to demonstrate the application of Pléiades imagery and light detection and ranging (lidar) technologies for prospection and visualization of the Mesoamerican archaeological landscape. Based on this case study, guidelines in English and Spanish have been developed to explain the technical processing. The project involved a stakeholder: the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), a Mexican federal government institution responsible for research, conservation, protection and spreading of knowledge on Mexican cultural heritage. The case study and guidelines were presented to the stakeholder and other interested parties during several meetings held during a short mission to Yucatan, Mexico in the spring of 2022.

The Ethnic and Migrant Minorities Survey Question Data Bank (EMM QDB)–which has been co-produced by COST Action 16111-ETHMIGSURVEYDATA, the SSHOC (Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud) project, and the FAIRETHMIGQUANT project–is a free online service dedicated to questionnaires used in quantitative surveys undertaken with ethnic and migrant minority (EMM) respondents. The EMM QDB collection can be accessed at https://ethmigsurveydatahub.eu/emmqdb/. To find the EMM QDB collection on the Centre de Données Socio-Politiques (CDSP) of Sciences Po's Colectica Portal, go to the Series entitled, 'Ethnic and Migrant Minorities Survey Question Data Bank Collection.' Users of the EMM QDB will be able to discover and learn about the different questionnaires, including their specific questions, using the 'Search' and 'Explore' functions of the CDSP's Colectica Portal. The EMM QDB is currently in a pilot version. This means that it will only cover questionnaires from surveys that: (1) are covered by the EMM Survey Registry (https://ethmigsurveydatahub.eu/emmregistry/), (2) study the topic of social ties and civic participation; and (3) have been conducted in Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and/or the UK.** **Countries outside of these 10 countries may be included in the pilot version of the EMM QDB. This would occur if a country was a participant of a cross-country survey that meets the aforementioned inclusion criteria of the pilot version.

The application of incremental enamel sampling on human dental enamel allows researchers to observe how isotopic values may vary over an individual’s early life. For archaeologists, this means we can observe how an individual’s diet and geographical mobility may have changed over time. Currently, incremental isotope studies on human enamel primarily use in-situ techniques, which while allowing for small and targeted analysis, are limited in access, precision or applicable isotopes. An alternative is the use of micro-milling techniques, which are more accessible and cost-efficient. Whilst milling techniques are commonly used on faunal dental enamel (i.e., sheep and cattle), the amelogenesis process in human dentition is shorter and more intricate. As such, placing enamel increments, removed by milling, into a chronological order is difficult without the knowledge of that tooth’s specific growth pattern. Whilst the construction of such a methodology is challenging, it is essential to investigate if incremental milling techniques can be viable on human dental enamel, to enable high resolution dietary and mobility reconstructions for humans. The aim of this study is to produce an incremental sampling technique for the enamel of human molars and canines, to reveal variations in strontium (Sr), oxygen (O), and carbon (C) isotopic ratios during the tooth enamel formation period. This technique uses milling guided by thin-sections of the enamel to ensure a developmentally informed sampling strategy. Preliminary results from a combination of both modern and archaeological samples reveals a promising indication that enamel increments can be successfully sampled along a human tooth enamel growth axis. However, the growth pattern of human tooth enamel limits the number of increments that can be milled in a resolvable time series. As such, this study provides a critical evaluation of the proposed technique, and a plan of how to increase the resolution of the methodology in our future research.
