, and distinguish three broad classes of ambiguity according to where they are located in the interpretative relationship linking person and artefact. Ambiguity of information finds its source in the artefact itself, ambiguity of context in the sociocultural discourses that are used to interpret it, and ambiguity

Qualified and/or experienced persons in all heritage related disciplines are invited to register their services and expertise with Amafa. The following specialist categories have been identified, but not limited to and any other specialists are welcome to submit documents for inclusion

This paper reports the results of a series of experiments designed to establish how non-expert subjects conceptualize geospatial phenomena. Subjects were asked to give examples of geographical categories in response to a series of differently phrased elicitations. The results yield an ontology

of self-reported delinquency measures containing few answer categories, while specialised delinquency is more apparent when more answer categories are used. The present study systematically manipulates the answer categories of an existing data set and reports on the results of various factor analysis

Our approach towards context awareness is to use sensor augmented daily life objects surrounding us for extracting context information and for providing ambient services. Some of these artefacts are static in nature and have designated location, like a bed in the bedroom, a refrigerator

. Next, the role of this artefact as a constituent of information technology (IT) services is derived. As an example we make use of historical development banking services. Further, three different categories of services are identified. Finally, potential avenues for further research are proposed.

into account in synthesis methods aiming at enhancing TE speech. Four categories of acoustic artefacts are identified in this work: a lower periodicity and regularity of the phonation, and the presence of high-frequency and gargling noises. Each artefact is studied and compared to normal laryngeal speech

This paper presents avian bone artefacts from settlements in Hungary and Romania, which fall into two categories: 1, new fi nds, never studied before; 2, previously known specimens that have not yet been thoroughly analysed from an archaeo-ornithological point of view. The age of these artefacts

Automatic reconstruction of fragmented objects is of great interest in archaeology, where artefacts are often found in a fractured state. In this paper, we focus on the problem of automatically agglomerating clusters of fragments from previously determined pairwise matches. Common to any automated
