Archaeology: Isotope Analysis

Archaeology: Isotope Analysis

Write a 1-page response (single-spaced, 12-point font) to the following prompt. Direct quotes and paraphrasing of the article or textbook should be cited using the following format (authors year:page# or Pearson et al. 2015: 72, it’s ok to abbreviate textbook citations to RB 2012:485). A separate reference sheet is not needed. 

 

Analytical techniques from material science have revolutionized many types of archaeological research, but we are often still dependent on traditional archaeological concepts and methods to make sense of material science data.

Read the linked paper on isotope analysis of animal and human remains at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük. In your paper, very briefly state the authors’ conclusions and then answer the following questions:

1. What sort of baseline research is required for the authors’ to make sense of the patterns in the isotope data derived from skeletal remains? Does the baseline data required differ for humans and animals? Why or why not? 

 

2. How is an understanding of formation processes and the concept of archaeological context used to make sense of the results the isotope studies?

 

Do not get bogged down in explaining how the isotopic studies work. We’re most interested in how the authors use an understanding of the Çatalhöyük archaeological record to interpret the results.

Choose an organisation or business which is either an automotive company (manufacturing industry) or a hospital (service sector).

Choose an organisation or business which is either an automotive company (manufacturing industry) or a hospital (service sector). You need to produce an essay elaborating on the key operation, logistics and supply chain management issues faced by the operations and supply chain manager(s) in this particular organisation / business.

You can collect data from resources like websites, books, journal articles and grey reports. Some case studies are available to help you collect required data.

By focusing on the operational and supply chain issues, you should seek to identify and clarify how the operation functions and supports the market that it serves. What service delivery system (s) or manufacturing process (es) does it use? What infrastructure does it use to manage these delivery systems? And how, together, do these support the market (s) that it serves? A critical, detailed and relevant analysis should be made of the various components.

Based on your analysis, you are expected to make recommendations about how the business can improve its performance. Consider triple bottom line – described as the incorporation of economic, environmental and social factors as the three dimensions of sustainability in business practice – in your analysis.

As it might be impossible to analyse all the areas of operations, logistics and supply chain management, you should also decide which area (s) to cover in your discussion. Therefore, choose two of the following list in

managing operations, logistics and supply chain.

• New product/ service development and process

• Managing quality

• Location and Layout

• Managing people in operation and supply chains

• Logistics mix: Channels, networks, transportation, managing inventory and capacity

• Managing business relationships in supply chains
