Investigating Identity and Life Histories: Isotopic Analysis and Historical Documentation of Slave Skeletons Found on the Cape Town Foreshore, South Africa

TL;DR: Isotopic analysis of skeletons excavated during the 1950s has confirmed that they are the remains of shipwreck victims: slaves on board the Portuguese slaving brig Pacquet Real when it sank on 18 May 1818 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating the Use of Synchronous Communication in Two Blended Courses

TL;DR: The roles of course design, group dynamics, and facilitation style in the successful use of online collaboration within primarily face-to-face courses, as well as the potential forOnline collaboration within a blended course design to facilitate more inclusive learning conversations than are possible with exclusively face- to-face interaction are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses of the underclass at the colonial Cape of Good Hope in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

TL;DR: Analysis of the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of burials in a colonial cemetery in Cape Town, South Africa, reveals life histories of the underclass there and is the first use of bone chemistry to reconstruct the lives of a mixed population of diverse origin, buried in a cosmopolitan colonial city.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weathering wikis: Net-based learning meets political science in a South African university

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a project to innovate the use of wikis for collaborative writing within student groups in a final-year undergraduate political science course, and raise questions concerning the nature and limits of lecturer and tutor power to deliver transformative educational innovations in relation to the capacity of students to embrace, comply with, or resist such innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determining isotopic life history trajectories using bone density fractionation and stable isotope measurements: a new approach.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the bone density fractionation method is applicable to archaeological material, here extending to a maximum of 5,000 years BP, and that collagen can successfully be extracted from such fractions.
