Introduction The niche of the small semi-arboreal, solitary, and nocturnal insectivore-carnivore is occupied by the genus Genetta over most of Africa and southwest Europe. The dozen or so species comprising the genus are structurally coherent, exploit nearly all natural and cultivated habitats, and in many areas are a numerically dominant small carnivore. This success may be considered exceptional, for Genetta like Didelphis and Tupaiia is believed to be a relatively unmodified derivative o...

Finally, the study also soug...
ABSTRACT This research looks at the use of salvage archaeology as a research method for the documentation and conservation of heritage sites that are being threatened by the rise in sea levels. Such devastating effects of the ocean on coastal environments are often as a result of climate change and global warming. Over the years, sea levels have been steadily rising, leading to the erosion of coastlines in Ghana to about 110 meters inland, and the submergence of historic coastal settlements....

This genus was formerly included in the family Muscidae (Newstead, 1911; Newstead et £l_., 1924; Patton, 1934; Iimts, 1957), but has in recent times been placed in the monogeneric family, Glossinidae (Brues etal_, 1954; Haeselbarth et aj_, 1966; Potts, 1970a). The genus is made up of 30 species and subspecies which are divided into three principal groups, nam...
ABSTRACT The complexity of the archaeological record and its interpretation require a holistic comprehension of its makeup from an objective point of view rather than from a single subjective perspective. The analyses of materials recovered from the archaeological record of most sites in Ghana often neglect the analysis of human skeletal finds. This development affects the holistic interpretation of those sites. In view of such gaps, this research sought to subject the skeletal remains from ...
