This article introduces the special issue, "Community Archaeology of the African Diaspora." This collection of papers grew out of a session at the 2020 Society for Historical Archaeology conference in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional authors invited to add further geographical and methodological diversity. The papers in this issue address a single question-how are archaeologists currently involved with community archaeology projects related to the African Diaspora?-and reflects the wide array of approaches currently being implemented across the discipline.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV), referring to different forms of violence or abuse between two or more intimate partners, negatively impacts physical and mental health, performance in various settings, and familial functioning, leading to long-term adverse outcomes. Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals tend to experience similar or greater frequencies of IPV compared to their cisheterosexual counterparts. Stigma and discrimination toward sexual and gender diversity can lead to myths and misconceptions about relationship dynamics among SGM individuals, which can contribute to IPV occurrence within the community.

During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene and in the early Holocene period, hunter-gatherer communities across tropical South America deployed a range of technological strategies to adapt to diverse environmental conditions. This period witnessed a rich tapestry of technological practices, from enduring, widely disseminated tools to local and sporadically utilized technologies, shaping a multifaceted landscape of technological traditions. Lithic technology during this period was mainly marked by localized sourcing of raw materials, the use of multifunctional tools, a variety of projectile point designs, and the frequently utilization of unifacial shaping technology.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov burial site, focusing on group dynamics and regional interactions of the Mesolithic population in Northern Europe.
- Radiogenic strontium isotope analysis revealed that most individuals likely lived semi-permanently near Lake Onega, with only two showing evidence of having spent time outside the area.
- The findings suggest stable residential patterns for Late Mesolithic foragers while also highlighting connections to broader communication networks, indicating some long-distance interactions.
Longitudinal cholesterol trends across socioeconomic groups in Norway: the influence of lipid-lowering drugs in the population-based Tromsø Study 1994-2016.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Health Services Research Unit, Akershus University Hospital, Lorenskog, Norway.
Objectives: There is limited evidence regarding the impact of lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) on the socioeconomic gradient in a longitudinal perspective. The study investigates the longitudinal socioeconomic gradient in total cholesterol levels and whether this is affected by the use of LLDs.
Design: Population-based cohort study.
