The document discusses middle range theory in archaeology. Middle range theory aims to connect raw archaeological data to broader conclusions about human behavior in the past. It seeks to develop testable theories that are abstract enough for generalization but grounded in empirical evidence. While archaeologists initially applied middle range theory haphazardly, it has the potential to play an important role in the future by refocusing research on theoretical issues and human behavior rather than just interpretation. However, more work needs to be done to further define middle range theory in archaeology.
This thesis examines the use of electrical resistivity surveys and ground-penetrating radar to characterize groundwater-surface water interaction at Mirror Lake, New Hampshire. Resistivity surveys using both surface-towed and stationary cables identified geological heterogeneities controlling seepage. Intermediate resistivity values of around 1500 ohm-meters correlated with the highest measured seepage rates. Low resistivity values below 200 ohm-meters indicated organic matter deposits with low seepage. High resistivity values over 3000 ohm-meters represented poorly-sorted till with low seepage. Resistivity also imaged a plume of road salt contamination. Ground-penetrating radar identified an organic matter blanket at the lake bottom and confirmed

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
