Alaska Flowers Reveal Prehistoric Villages

Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian notes botanic clues help locate hundreds of buried village sites in Alaska, where animal bones shells ashes and organic waste mix with grass and wild flowering plants. At Akatu near the Aleutian chain he observed high grasses and thickets of wild parsnip monkshood and other blooms over ruins, guiding explorers to old village locations.

Don’t Talk So Loud When Speaking to the Deaf
Iowa City researchers report deaf and hard of hearing listeners prefer lower speech loudness. Experiments at the University of Iowa by Dr Noble H Kelley show normal ears need about 38 decibels above threshold, while hard of hearing adjust to 23 to 20 decibels. Findings note normal ears struggle with consonants, vowels more intelligible to the deaf.
