This paper presents the creation of tridimensional models by using digital photographic techniques and Structure for Motion software, applied for the particular case of the archaeological and ethnographical collections of the Storage Area of the Instituto de Arqueología y Museo, Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Argentina. As a result, we present the workflow elaborated to create the 3D record of the objects belonging to the collection. Our aim is to test possibilities, scopes and limits of this approach applied to the record, research and exhibition in the archaeological and museology fields.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the assemblage and display of Fijian collections at Government House during the first few years of British colonial rule and reflexively considers its re-presentation in the exhibition Chiefs & Governors: Art and Power in Fiji (6 June 2013 – 19 April 21014) at the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA).  It moves beyond reductionist accounts of colonial collecting and investigates the specificity and nuances of complex relationships between Fijian and British agents, between subjects and objects, both in the field and in the museum. A focus on the processes of collecting and display highlights multiple agencies within colonial networks and the fluid transactional nature of object histories. The Fijian objects that bedecked the walls of Government House from the mid 1870s were re-assembled in 1883 as the founding ethnographic collections of the University of Cambridge Museum of General and Local Archaeology (now MAA). Ethnographic museums have tended to efface the links between the material on display and their colonial pasts (Edwards and Mead 2013). In contrast, the creation of Chiefs & Governors was used as an opportunity to explore the multiple agencies within colonial relations and the processes of collecting, displaying and governing (Bennett et al.2014; Cameron and McCarthy 2015). The second half of this paper analyses the techniques and challenges involved in displaying colonial relations in a museum exhibition and considers the ongoing value of the collections for Fijian communities, cultural descendants, museum staff, researchers and broad public audiences today.

From the experience of working as a trainee in the projects of the Ethnology and Ethnography Sector of the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro (SEE / MN), from 2013 to 2017, and from training as a Master in Preservation of Collections (PPACT / MAST), a small analysis of the losses and damages of the collection of ethnology of the National Museum after the fire of September 2018. It then presents a brief discussion and lists a set of basic measures for preservation and security of cultural assets in case of fire accidents; and in the context of the preservation and digitization projects of the SEE / MN collection, brings the suggestion of digital curation and the creation of a Digital Preservation Policy as a way to preserve the remaining records of the sector's collection.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Limax Maximus

The cells which are described in this study surround the salivary nerve of the terrestrial mollusc, Limax maximus. The salivary system of Limax consists of bilateral glands, ducts, and nerves. The salivary nerves originate at the buccal ganglia, which are situated on the posterior face of the buccal mass, and run along the salivary duct to the gland. The salivary nerve branches several times near the gland, and eventually sends processes into the gland.The pore cells begin to appear at the first large branch point of the salivary nerve, near the gland (Figure 1). They follow the nerve distally and eventually accompany the nerve branches into the gland tissue. The cells are 20-50 microns in diameter and contain very small nuclei (1-5 microns) (Figure 2).The cytoplasm of the pore cells is segregated into a storage area of glycogen and an organelle region located in a band around the cell periphery (Figure 3).
