A DIACHRONIC PERSPECTIVE ON LITHIC RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES AND MOBILITY: CASE STUDIES FROM THE FINAL PALAEOLITHIC, MESOLITHIC AND NEOLITHIC IN CENTRAL EUROPE

A diachronic perspective on lithic raw material procurement strategies and mobility: case studies from the Final Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic in Central Europe

ABSTRACTAnalysis of prehistoric lithic Eye and Lip Liner artefacts helps to answer a wide array of questions concerning archaeological contexts and prehistoric human behaviour.During three projects, we studied the origin of the raw materials of 32 inventories from the Late Glacial and Early Holocene in northwest and southern Germany.The basal petro

Development and verification of CFD model of carbothermal synthesis furnace for production of mixed nitride uranium-plutonium fuel

The retort batch furnace for the carbothermal synthesis of uranium and plutonium nitrides is a component of the mixed nitride uranium-plutonium (MNUP) fuel Fabrication/Refabrication Module (FRM), a part of the Pilot Demonstration Energy Complex (PDEC).A CFD model of the furnace was built in the SolidWorks Flow Simulation code to check the feasibili
