The diet of young Neandertals from France, Pech de l’Azé I and Hortus II, reconstructed using dental microwear texture analysis by Frank L’Engle Williams, Christopher W Schmidt, Jessica L Droke, Whitney M Karriger, Gaël Becam, Fred H Smith, Marie-Antoinette de Lumley

“…When complexity is compared to anisotropy, Pech de l’Azé I exhibits an elevated value from the mastication of plants with hard parts or adherent particles, or the consumption of foods that were poorly processed or grit-laden, whereas Hortus II presents a low value, perhaps from limited access to hard plant parts such as seeds and nuts. However, Pech de l’Azé I and Hortus II resemble each other in having a low value for anisotropy, which is indicative of complicated movements of the jaws during mastication and are dissimilar to Neolithic, Roman and Medieval human children who tend to have higher values. …”

Composting of selected organic wastes from peri-urban areas of Harare, Zimbabwe by Rangarirayi L Mhindu, Menas Wuta, Esther Ngorima

“…Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that household wastes with 50% straw or less can be composted but with measures being taken to achieve temperatures greater than 55°C for at least 3 days to destroy weed seeds and pathogens. The composts with 30% straw mixture had the greatest potential as a soil amendment in peri-urban areas of Harare as they effectively reduced nitrogen losses.…”
