July 7th, 2011 Editor's Selections 30 Comments
Krystal D’Costa selects interesting and notable ResearchBlogging.org posts in the social sciences, including anthropology, research, and philosophy. She blogs about anthropology, technology, and urban life at Anthropology in Practice.
New and notable from the social sciences this past week on ResearchBlogging.org:
- At The Gambler’s House, Teofilo investigates the interpretation of a curious pictograph thought to depict the supernova of 1054.
- At Powered by Osteons, Kristina Killgrove highlights the treatment of human remains with an interesting case study from Selma, Alabama.
- Rita Handrich of The Jury Room discusses the fluidity of memories, drawing attention to the ways in which memory is crafted.
I’ll be back next week with more from the social sciences.
