Article Reference A multidisciplinary analysis of cesspits from late medieval and post-medieval Brussels, Belgium: diet and health in the fourteenth-seventeenth century
The fill of two late and post-medieval cesspits in Brussels was analyzed using a multidisciplinary approach, including the study of macrobotanical and faunal remains, pollen, and parasite eggs. These show that in the diet plant foods were dominated by cereals while the animal remains document the consumption of mainly fish and birds. The presence of foods that were luxuries at that time would indicate that these were affluent households, although with an admixture of meals related to those of lower socioeconomic status. Seven species of helminth and protozoal parasites were identified, with dominance of those species spread by poor sanitation.

Article Reference New material of the small raoellid artiodactyl Metkatius kashmiriensis Kumar and Sahni, 1985 (Mammalia) from the middle Eocene of the Kalakot area, Rajouri District, Jammu and Kashmir, India
New material of the small raoellid artiodactyl Metkatius kashmiriensis is reported from the middle Eocene of the Upper Subathu Formation in the Kalakot area, Jammu and Kashmir, northwest Himalaya, India. The fossil material consists of numerous mandibular and maxillary fragments and isolated teeth, mainly belonging to juvenile specimens. It documents the poorly known dental morphology of M. kashmiriensis and provides an overview of its intraspecific variation, allowing to redefine its diagnosis. M. kashmiriensis is characterized by a particularly small size compared with other raoellid species, and by bunodont molars with moderately marked transverse lophs. The M/1–2 are much longer than wide and display characters similar to those of Rajouria gunnelli, such as the presence of a small paraconid and a mesial mesiostylid. The P/4 bears distally a small hypoconid, which appears to be unique in Raoellidae. The description of the new material also allows to document the poorly known morphology of the deciduous teeth of raoellids. The DP2/ is reported for the first time, and the DP/4 of M. kashmiriensis shows a morphology different from that of Indohyus, with the absence of mesial basin anterior to the paraconid and the primoconid. Contrary to what has recently been proposed, these results confirm that M. kashmiriensis is a valid species and not a synonym of Indohyus indirae, and highlight the great morphological diversity present within the Raoellidae during the middle Eocene in the Indian subcontinent.

Article Reference A first glimpse into the biogeographic affinities of the shallow benthic communities from the sub-Antarctic Crozet archipelago
Sub-Antarctic islands are expected to show a high degree of endemicity due to their remoteness. However, biogeographic affinities in the sub-Antarctic remain poorly understood, especially in the marine realm. Sub-Antarctic islands being at the crossroads between Antarctic and cold temperate regions, biodiversity characterization and biogeographic analyses are a priority for monitoring and rapidly assessing variations associated with environmental changes. One underexplored sub-Antarctic area is Crozet, a protected archipelago located halfway between Antarctica and South Africa. In this study, we investigated the shallow-water Crozet macrofaunal diversity, distribution patterns and biogeographic affinities based on the examination of fieldwork specimens via a thorough morphological identification and a genetic characterisation. The resulting dataset provides an important baseline for further studies and conservation strategies, compiling the first genetic and taxonomic database for the Crozet archipelago. In total, 100 morphotypes were found, belonging to nine different phyla, among whicharthropods(32), molluscs (18)and echinoderms (17) were the richest. Forty-seven morphotypes were identified to the species level, among which 20 were reported in Crozet for the first time. This confirms that Crozet is a poorly known region, even compared to other sub-Antarctic areas. A large proportion of species (62%) had circum Southern Ocean or circum sub Antarctic distributions. These species were mostly shared with Kerguelen (72%), the Magellan Province (64%), and Prince Edward Islands (64%), confirming the patterns found in macroalgae and specific macrofaunal groups. However, this large-distribution statement needs to be counterbalanced by the detection (genetic data) of more restricted distributions than expected in four study cases (the tanaid Apseudes spectabilis, the nudibranch Doris kerguelenensis, the polychaete Neanthes kerguelensis and the chiton Hemiarthrum setulosum). Considering that most morphotypes had no genetic data available from other regions, the proportion of morphotypes with restricted distribution is likely to increase alongside future investigations. In addition, we also found a few cases of unrecognized diversity that might lead to the descriptions of new species, some likely to be endemic to Crozet (e.g., within the polychaete genus Harmothoe and the bryozoan genus Antarctothoa). Altogether, this stresses the need to maintain conservation efforts in Crozet and pursue integrative investigations in order to highlight and protect its unusual diversity

Article Reference Les monuments funéraires gallo-romains et l’emploi de la pierre dans la région occidentale de la Civitas Treverorum
1. Les monuments funéraires trévires 1.1. Introduction Les monuments funéraires des Trévires sont le sujet de deux projets de recherche, menés par l’Académie des Sciences Autrichienne en coopération avec l’Université de Luxembourg d’une part et l’Université de Francfort et le Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier d’autre part (Mahler, 2017). L’objectif de cette contribution est de présenter quelques réflexions préliminaires sur les analyses pétrographiques effectuées dans le cadre du projet austro-luxembourgeois. La cité des Trévires, située en Gaule Belgique, est appréciée depuis longtemps pour la quantité et la richesse de ses monuments funéraires de l’époque gallo-romaine, dont ceux provenant de Neumagen (von Massow, 1932) et d’Arlon (Espérandieu, 1913 ; Colling et al., 2009), pour ne citer que les ensembles les plus célèbres. Toutefois, cet ensemble n'a jamais fait l'objet d'un traitement scientifique et d'une évaluation exhaustive, étant donné que la zone d'étude est située à la frontière linguistique franco-allemande et comprend quatre États modernes (Kremer, 2018a ; Kremer, 2018b). De plus, les nouvelles découvertes des dernières décennies, comme celle du mausolée de Bertrange (Krier, 2003 ; Kremer, 2009) ou des monuments du Titelberg (Kremer, 2019), apportent des éclairages nouveaux sur l'évolution de la situation dans cette région et invitent à une enquête approfondie de l’ensemble des monuments connus. Dans le cadre du projet austro-luxembourgeois sur la partie occidentale de la civitas Treverorum, des analyses pétrographiques ont été initiées d’abord afin d'assurer une caractérisation et une détermination de provenance correctes des matériaux pierreux utilisés, ensuite afin d'obtenir des données nouvelles sur des questions d'organisation d'ateliers, de chronologie ou de relations économiques. Nous espérons contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l'utilisation de la pierre dans le Nord de la Gaule, où la région trévire constituait une tache blanche sur la carte (Boulanger & Moulis, 2018). Une sélection représentative a été faite parmi les monuments accessibles de la zone de recherche ; toutefois, en l’absence d’exhaustivité, les résultats concernant la fréquence d'apparition des matériaux n’ont pas de valeur statistique. Ont été analysés les blocs de monuments funéraires exposés dans les musées de Luxembourg (MNHA), Arlon, Virton, Buzenol et Trèves. Des prélèvements ont été réalisés sur une série d’échantillons mise à disposition par le Centre national de recherche archéologique (CNRA) du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. - Joint project FWF/FNR I 2269-G25: « Funerary Monuments from Western civitas Treverorum in an Interregional Context. The Inter-Connected Evaluation of a Socio-Historically Relevant Category of Finds ». Direction de projet : Gabrielle Kremer, ÖAI/ÖAW (lead) et Andrea Binsfeld, UniLu. Nous remercions les membres de l’équipe Sophie Insulander, Jean Krier, Sebastian Mühling et Christine Ruppert ainsi que les collègues du CNRA et du MNHA Luxembourg, du IAL et des Musées d’Arlon, Virton et Trèves. - Projet financé par la DFG : « Römische Grabdenkmäler aus Augusta Treverorum im überregionalen Vergleich: mediale Strategien sozialer Repräsentation ».
