"I'm something of an untrained, unofficial cultural anthropologist myself. Ihave a business interviewing people to capture their personal histories. I'm always interested how people fit into their world and how they affect their world. I'm a graphic designer who works in the same building as the printing presses that I recorded. Iwalk past the presses every day on my way to talk to the folks in the prepress department. I'm on friendly but not drinking terms with the pressmen. I'm a friend with the prepress manager. Three Heidelberg presses are installed side by side in an open warehouse-like room. The presses are about twenty feet long and about five feet high. With their series of four humps or mounds where each printing cylinder is located, the presses remind one of giant, gray, mechanical caterpillars. Each press has a cyan cylinder, a magenta cylinder, a yellow cylinder and a black cylinder – so the humps are brightly colored. The presses are well lit by banks of fluorescent lights hanging from the ceiling over each press. When you walk into the press room you hear the sound of rock music blaring from a boom box radio mixed with the general din of the presses. It is only when you walk up to a press like Idid for the recordings that you really start to hear the individual strains of clicking, clacking and mechanical, syncopated chattering. When I made my recordings I was intrigued by the subtle variations in the sounds produced by these machines that aren't apparent when you first walk through the door. The pressmen were kind enough to allow me to walk right up to the presses and poke my microphone quite close to the rotating press cylinders. Iuse a Danish Pro Audio microphone about the size of a pencil eraser. An extremely sensitive mic with the capacity for capturing loud sounds such as the presses up close. Rotating the mic to one side or the other focused on the unique sounds coming from one cylinder or the other." [Kevin/KMerrell]18 in Collecting Sounds.

Data from: Mapping Tasmania's cultural landscapes: using habitat suitability modelling of archaeological sites as a landscape history tool
Aim: Understanding past distributions of people across the landscape is key to understanding how people used, affected and related to the natural environment. Here we use habitat suitability modelling to represent the landscape distribution of Tasmanian Aboriginal archaeological sites and assess the implications for patterns of past human activity. Location: Tasmania, Australia Methods: We developed a RandomForest 'habitat suitability' model of site records in the Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage Register. We applied a best-effort bias correction, considered 31 predictor variables relating to climate, topography and resource proximity, and used a variable selection procedure to optimise the final model. Model uncertainty was assessed via bootstrapping and we ran an analogous MAXENT model as a cross-validation exercise. Results: The results from the RandomForest and MAXENT models are highly congruent. The strongest environmental predictors of site occurrence include distance to coast, elevation, soil clay content, topographic roughness and distance to inland water. The highest habitat suitability scores are distributed across a wide range of environments in central, northern and eastern Tasmania, including coastal areas, inland water body margins, and forests and savannas in the drier parts of Tasmania. With the exception of coastal areas much of western Tasmania has low habitat suitability scores, consistent with theories of low-density Holocene Tasmanian Aboriginal settlement in this region. Main conclusions: Our modelling suggests Tasmanian Aboriginal people occupied a heterogeneity of habitats but targeted coastal areas around the whole island, and drier, less steep, and/or open forest and savanna environments in the central lowlands. The western interior was identified as being rarely used by Aboriginal people in the Holocene, with the exception of isolated pockets of habitat; yet whether this is a true reflection of Aboriginal resource use demands increased archaeological surveys, particularly in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
Cross-cultural music corpus: The Expanded Natural History of Song Discography
<p>This repository hosts the <strong>Expanded Natural History of Song Discography</strong>. It contains 1007 audio recordings of vocal music gathered from many human societies, each annotated with a world region, language, and behavioural context. </p> <p>Each song file contains a 10-second excerpt of the source audio, selected at random from only portions of the recording that contain an audible singer. Given the short form of each excerpt, and the intended use of these files only for research purposes, they have been made available under Fair Use.</p> <p><strong>NHS2-songs.zip </strong>contains the audio files, volume-matched and with 1s fade in/out added, in MP3 format. These can be analysed as-is or used in experiments.</p> <p><strong>NHS2-metadata.csv </strong>contains annotations, where each row corresponds to a song. The four columns include <strong>song</strong>, which includes a unique identifier for each song in the format `NHS2-XXXX.mp3`; <strong>region</strong>, which indicates an approximate geographical location where the song was recorded, using Human Relations Area Files categories (see <a href="https://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu">https://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu</a>); <strong>glottocode</strong>, which indicates the language in which the song is produced (see <a href="https://glottolog.org">https://glottolog.org</a>); and <strong>type</strong>, which indicates the behavioural context in which the song was produced, from a set of 10 categories (dance, healing, love, lullaby, play, procession, mourning, work, story, and praise).</p> <p>For assistance with the corpus, contact Martynas Snarskis (<a href="mailto:martysnarskis@gmail.com">martysnarskis@gmail.com</a>), Mila Bertolo (<a href="mailto:mila.bertolo@mail.mcgill.ca">mila.bertolo@mail.mcgill.ca</a>), and Samuel Mehr (<a href="mailto:mehr@hey.com">mehr@hey.com</a>).</p> <p>Further information about the construction of this corpus will be made available in a forthcoming paper; we will update this Zenodo archive when the paper is publicly available.</p>

FIGURE 1 in Bird names as critical communication infrastructure in the contexts of history, language, and culture
FIGURE 1. An example of the greater stability of English bird names relative to scientific names for a single species, which also shows the gateway effects of an eponymous English name to the literature (i.e., the area under the blue curve indicates the importance in communication and access of that name relative to all the others). This is an historic overview of the use of Wilson's Plover (blue) as an English bird name relative to the five scientific names the species has had from the early 1800s through 2019, Aegialitis wilsonius Ord (red), Aegialitis wilsonia (dark green), Ochthodromus wilsonius (golden), Pagolla wilsonia (bright green), and Charadrius wilsonia (purple), using Google Books Ngram Viewer.

Data from: Coevolution of cultural intelligence, extended life history, sociality, and brain size in primates
Explanations for primate brain expansion and the evolution of human cognition and culture remain contentious despite extensive research. While multiple comparative analyses have investigated variation in brain size across primate species, very few have addressed why primates vary in how much they use social learning. Here, we evaluate the hypothesis that the enhanced reliance on socially transmitted behavior observed in some primates has coevolved with enlarged brains, complex sociality, and extended lifespans. Using recently developed phylogenetic comparative methods we show that, across primate species, a measure of social learning proclivity increases with absolute and relative brain volume, longevity (specifically reproductive lifespan), and social group size, correcting for research effort. We also confirm relationships of absolute and relative brain volume with longevity (both juvenile period and reproductive lifespan) and social group size, although longevity is generally the stronger predictor. Relationships between social learning, brain volume, and longevity remain when controlling for maternal investment and are therefore not simply explained as a by-product of the generally slower life history expected for larger brained species. Our findings suggest that both brain expansion and high reliance on culturally transmitted behavior coevolved with sociality and extended lifespan in primates. This coevolution is consistent with the hypothesis that the evolution of large brains, sociality, and long lifespans has promoted reliance on culture, with reliance on culture in turn driving further increases in brain volume, cognitive abilities, and lifespans in some primate lineages.
